FCC Rules On Pulver Free World Dialup

An anonymous reader writes " Light Reading is reporting that the verdict is in on Pulver's FWD. 'The first big decision was a victory for VoIP proponents. The commission ruled that Pulver.com's Free World Dialup VOIP service is an information service, not a telecommunications service. The decision was based largely on the analysis that it doesn't fit the 1996 Telecom Act's definition of a telecommunications service.' To me this was a no-brainer on the part of the FCC. Let's see if they get the rest right too."

    Is it any wonder people think Linux users are a bunch of flaming homosexuals when its fronted by obviously gay losers like these?! BSD has a mascot who leaves us in no doubt that this is the OS for real men! If Linux had more hot chicks and gorgeous babes then maybe it would be able to compete with BSD!

    Linux is a joke as long as it continues to lack sexy girls like her! I mean just look at this girl! Doesn't she excite you? I know this little hottie puts me in need of a cold shower! This guy looks like he is about to cream his pants standing next to such a fox. As you can see, no man can resist this sexy little minx. I mean are you telling me you wouldn't like to get your hands on this ass?! Linux has nothing that can possibly compete. Come on, you must admit she is better than an overweight penguin or a gay looking goat!

    With sexy chicks like the lovely Ceren you could have people queuing up to buy open source products. Could you really refuse to buy a copy of BSD if she told you to? Don't you wish you could get one of these? Personally I know I would give my right arm to get this close to such a divine beauty!

    Don't be a fag! Join the campaign for more cute open source babes today!

    Another Valentine's Day, and I have no one special.

    This weekend will be the same as the last - I'll meet some woman in a bar, bring her back to my apartment for vigorous sex, and that's it. It'll be over, she'll just be using me. She won't call, they never do.

    It leaves me all empty inside.

    I am not sure how pointing out previous Slashdot articles about Pulver's Free World Dialup (FWD) - is off topic.

    Or pointing out an Interesting People message about the FCC ruling that "pure" VoIP like FWD is not a phone service is off-topic or overrated.

    You know why. You're getting down mods because you called it a "repeat". The ruling is new and you know it. Whines about mods are also off topic (see the faq) so expect more. This comment is off topic too. Thanks for listening.
