NJ Bill Would Prohibit Anonymous Posts on Forums
An anonymous reader writes "The New Jersey legislature is considering a bill that would require operators of public forums to collect users' legal names and addresses, and effectively disallow anonymous speech on online forums. This raises some serious issues, such as to what extent local and state governments can go in enacting and enforcing Internet legislation."
The intellectually weak and the state they affect will go into a decline or have a slower growth than their surrounding states - Kansas and NJ comes to my mind.
The Internet and information abundancy is a new challenge for humans and evolution will sort between them.
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile

roundisfunny wonders: "We currently do not have any mailbox restrictions for our Exchange users - which has led us to have a 420 GB mail store for 320 users. Our largest mailbox has over 13 GB in it. One of the main concerns for us is the time it takes for a restore. We have encouraged archiving, but now have 250 GB of .pst files. What sort of limitations does your company have on mailbox size, amount of time you can keep mail, and archives? Please mention your email platform, type of business, and number of users."

Bob Brown writes "Harvard University doesn't usually talk much about its internal network, but here, the guy overseeing it opens up about the homegrown and commercial tools used to manage the massive system." From the article: "Harvard, as of late, has been exhibiting another telco trait - considering the network as part of the university's critical infrastructure. As such, its construction is considered during the initial planning phases of building renovation, new construction and campus expansion projects. The data networks that are being built today, at Harvard and similar institutions, are being built to host a variety of IP-based traffic. Most every physical-plant control device, whether it be security cameras, chilled water-valve actuators or parking garage card readers, are being designed to work with the IP network"

With guns. Lots and lots of beautiful guns.
Would you kindly mod me +1 insightful?
That is unless it was intelligently designed to do that.
There is no way that these pieces of legislation could have just materialized out of thin air, they must have been designed by an intelligent entity.
And since you can't prove I'm wrong, that must mean that New Jersey and Kansas have the most intelligent people living there.
Wait...
