"So you see the FCC has the power to regulate "communications" AMONG the states, not inside the states, and many ISPs operate within state lines, therefore the court reached the decision that Comcast is outside the central government's jurisdiction."
But Comcast does not communicate inside the state, it goes across state lines which lets the FCC regulate it.
Really? The FBI doesn't have authority inside states? The US Marshal Service doesn't have authority inside states? FDA? CDC? FAA? Coast Guard? Secret Service? DEA? BIA? IHS?
I mean, if I grow weed and it doesn't leave the state, then the DEA has no jurisdiction...
No, it shouldn't be a state issue and should be an FCC issue. If I send traffic from Alaska over GCI to my buddy on Comcast in Oregon, Comcast shouldn't have the ability to filter or "shape" the traffic just because a myopic court decided its not a Federal issue.
It is part of the Federal mandate because it does deal with Interstate, not intrastate.
If I am in Washington on Comcast and send traffic to Oregon over Comcast, the FCC should be the one governing the rules, not the states because its an Interstate issue.
Like I said before. Comcast has fracking lines running across state lines. Oregon/Washington is the Comcast area I'm familiar with. Beaverton Oregon is the center and the data is sent out to southern Oregon to about 60-65 miles into western Washington.
I worked at Comcast in Oregon doing support, out of our center we covered an area south of Eugene Oregon to north of Longview Washington. That location provided the TV, phone and internet for the area our support covered, techs would actually cross the state line too if their route demanded it. Our handoff to Tacoma was just north of Longview/Kelso, in the spring of '09 Everett got a center for northern Washington.
I tanked MC to Naxx 40. The content that was fun were the 20 mans like ZG (loved ZG, got three characters exalted there) and AQ20.
TBC and that hurdle to Kara at the start was hard. All those 40 man raiders who didn't get keyed had hurt feelings. I ended up taking a break, coming back later and moving a guild through Kara and into some 25 man content, but in the end I quit WoW for a spell. Now I'm back, might go back into some raiding now.
Good. 40 man raiding was a chore. Terrible, terrible chore.
1. Managing the 50-65 people it took to keep a 40 man roster year round.* Oh and endless runs to gear them up and support people who didn't have time to farm what they needed but you still needed them for whatever reason
2. Herding those 40 people to a dungeon and back then alot of summoning, multiple healthstones, 10 minute buffs
3. The zerg of a 40 man raid.
40 man raiding from MC to Naxx40 burned me out, when TBC came out and there was the gearing back up for Kara and the slashing of raid rosters I flat out gave up. It would have been better to have 10-20 man raiding the entire time of WoW. Its not "dumbed down", if anything it was "dumbed down" when you could have a third of your raid just following along behind putting in their time so they could gear up. ZG and AQ-20 showed that there was no room for dead weight.
* - Unless you were blessed with 40-50 really super dedicated people who were always there when you needed them and managed themselves.
SOHO is a joint operation of NASA and ESA. Unfortunately all the solar observation satellites up there are NASA or shared with NASA right now.
So you don't trust NASA or the University of Alaska Fairbanks for solar weather, you don't trust the weather reports because NOAA gathers weather data and the US government put up the weather satellites?

Again, 2.4-3 pounds held out "straight out from the body" isn't that heavy, so an iPad is half the weight of a full frame 9mm or M-1911A1 with magazine.
The Sun isn't "silent", it pulses and puts out massive amounts of energy in irregular fashion all the time. Now for a few years of its 8-10 billion year life it just hasn't been putting out enough to mess things up 93,000,000 miles away.
This week its sending out some energy, not a giant amount by its scale, just enough to screw with things and light up the sky.
The ball of fusion does have a lot of movement on its surface and convection currents under the surface, its not a featureless racquet ball except for the occasional sunspot or CME.
Well, can't really come up with any sources of solar weather that don't have something to do with a government, government agency or enterprise that has government funding so...
Well, this little bit of solar weather isn't because its suddenly an active decade, its just a couple solar farts of CME and energy hitting the Earth.
The sunspots and activity is coming back up and they aren't sure why or how, which isn't unusual because no one is really sure how it all works. I can link and you can ignore it because it is from SOHO which is an implement of NASA and ESA, so Feds and EU together, oh noes.
No, not really. Its a giant ball of fusion, photons, plasma and gases that is 99.8% of the solar system's mass that is doing all kinds of crap under the surface that we can't see. Hell we don't really know what is going on down there under the surface.
Why can't this giant ball of fusion have a medium sized solar flare this week without it being beyond the realm of possibility?
I knew some IDF draftees that didn't smoke. Of the folks that didn't smoke they were either women, Air Force or Navy or in medicine. Dated a couple girls in the IDF, none of them smoked but most everyone else did, Noblesse packs everywhere.

Because here in south central Alaska you don't get a GSM/3G/4G signal everywhere. Hell I lose my connection on the highway between Anchorage and Girdwood (where the ski resort is), which is along the coast.
The report there lumped where I am now (Alaska) with the job hell I just left (Oregon/Washington). I'm looking at an 18% raise for next year and I still get almost three months off.
I moved up here and had three offers within a month of getting here and had one of the places I turn down call me back and offer 5% more.
I figure by 2011 I'll be able to get another 20-25% in salary.

And I've never had a problem with holding my handguns for longer than 30 minutes and those weigh considerably more than 1.5 pounds, so you've helped with my argument, 1.5 pounds isn't too much weight.

Oregon has interceptors for the west coast, Portland and Klamath Falls.
The Nike system started going away under Kennedy.
Even in the 80s the there were only about six interceptor bases to cover the north and 2-3 to cover the southeastern US.
