The parent post was criticizing the congressman for pretending to want to support net neutrality and the sarcasm was obvious when they said as long as it gets abolished. My point was that after liberals railed against the GOP for trying to abolish NN, it seems hypocritical and counter productive for them to then criticize someone who shares their own views (in other words, regardless of what they do). This is a pervasive pattern in American politics right now. I can only hope that people see NN, not as another partisan wedge issue, but as a serious topic worthy of genuine consideration, and putting politics aside.
Or what? There are a number of republicans who regularly oppose the party line or the president with impunity. This particular congressman is taking what I would consider to be a common sense position on an issue that shouldn't even be a partisan one, and I can only hope this goes further. My intent wasn't to take up for the poor congressman, but rather to point out the lunacy in partisan bickering distracting from real issues which isn't very random.
This isn't the first time this congressman has taken this position. He also stepped up to try and delay a time sensitive NN vote citing "unanticipated negative consequences". Those weren't the actions of a poser. If you genuinely cared about this issue more than silly partisanship, you wouldn't be making accusations like this against someone who is clearly sympathetic to the NN cause. The GOP has not been on the right side of this issue, but attacking any of them regardless of what they do (right or wrong) is both typical and sad.
I'll admit... I'm not an actual climentoligist, but has anybody thought about maybe just making a bunch of ice and hauling it down to Antarctica? I mean if its getting warm, throw some ice on it instead of sitting around poking and measuring it.
So... calculation with these values, I would have to eat an All-Day breakfast sandwich every day for the next 17 years to equal the difference in carbon footprint between my car and one that is more environmentally friendly. So if I keep my car and just don't eat the sandwich, I can achieve balance at a fraction of the cost and even cut some calories in the process. Thanks Slashdot!

I'm kind of tapped out around Christmas, so how about the numerous massive multi-billion dollar pro NN corporations combine their efforts to build and deploy a fork of the Internet? In the interim here are a few random ideas for alternatives to common Internet services:

Corruption isn't strictly a republican problem last time I checked, and voting for Hillary clearly wouldn't have served my interest in ending corruption. Chairman Pai was after all originally appointed by Obama, who was just as beholden to special interests as anybody.
I don't care what the other hundred fake me's might have spammed, here's the deal. I and most of my friends are conservative southerners, some more hardcore than others. A group of us had a discussion today on this and I was expecting to clash with them on the issue, but surprising enough, everyone seemed to be in unanimous agreement that Ajit Pai's argument was flawed or at least that ending net neutrality was bad. Some of us also find it concerning that particular republicans who were otherwise thought to be a voice of reason are on board with abolishing net neutrality, and that leaves us kind of conflicted.
Not sure where I heard this, but I remember a saying to the effect of... yall can do whatever you want to Americans, but don't ever get between their couch and their T.V. I kind of feel for similar reasons, railroading this could really backfire for Republicans. IMO, ending neutraility probably won't last because it would create too much of an uproar, but you can bet Republicans will have a hard time living down the mess from trying. This all doesn't make a lick of sense to me except that this guy is a crook. They need to drain this dude at the FCC with the rest of the swamp as far as I'm concerned. This whole thing stinks like a load of crap if you ask me.
We initially decided to do this massive OS migration, but didn't think to check first as to whether or not many important apps were compatible or had replacements that our users would be willing to accept. And yeah, so what if there were hundreds of these critical oversights. The important part is that you can totally trust our planning this time as we devote more of your hard earned bucks into another migration. What could go wrong?
Perhaps it isn't the device, but rather something input which causes them to have these abnormal vowel movements? I mean, we really don't know squat about this, so maybe we shouldn't asssume.
Hacking banks could allow them to move money to circumvent those sanctions. That is when banks aren't outright collaborating with them to do so. Lets say you are right though, and they don't have any willing trade partners who would trade with them despite sanctions. Why then, do we keep hearing about them making continued efforts to dodge sanctions to avoid trade restrictions? It isn't like there isn't a precedent for countries ignoring sanctions against them.
From TFA, "It's likely not a nation-state perpetrating the hack, since the hackers' motives are financial. Instead it's a small, sophisticated group of criminals."
Really? Lazarus, believed to be linked to North Korea, is said to be responsible for numerous hacks against banks for the last couple of years including that 81 million dollar theft from Bangladesh central bank. Sure, it was Kaspersky who established that link, so consider the source. Even if they aren't nation-state supported though, there is every reason in the world to believe that NK has financial motives right now, especially on the heels of very tough economic sanctions. It seems a bit ridiculous for anyone to so quickly rule out a nation-state supported hack.
I didn't read the actual article though because I don't feel like filling out a dang survey to unlock it, but in regards to the summary..
Not sure if it could be classified as terrorism, but disabling someones car remotely without warning as it is driving down the freeway sounds like attempted gross vehicular manslaughter.
With significant development I think detection could become at least 50% successful. It would probably be more cost effective though to just not lose the quarters when you flip them.
The ration for an pyramid labourer included a measure of beer although supervisors got to have jugs. The only reason the Giza pyramids were built is because everyone was totally blitzed. Interestingly enough, beer is often seen in modern pyramid structures.
