I'll make you a deal. I'll support a ban on submissions from Fox News as long as we never have to see another submission from MSNBC, Mother Jones, Rolling Stone, or anything similar.
I'll second that if we can add Huffington Post and Daily Kos to the list.
1) Not all conservatives / libertarians oppose net neutrality 2) Most of these writers have a pretty good understanding of the issue 3) Several who oppose it do it on free market principles 4) There is a legitimate distrust of the FCC - some view the net neutrality issue as being used as an excuse for an FCC power grab
1) Make sure that cockpit doors are reinforced (this should already have been done) 2) Arm any pilot / co-pilot who wants to be armed and has training 3) Metal detectors, x-ray luggage & carry-ons 4) Hand every boarding passenger a baseball bat
I'm not a big fan of Comcast, but this is an excellent idea. If all broadband providers would do this, they could put a serious dent in bot nets and reduce the amount of spam and the phishing attacks.
Twitter is an extremely potent ideological weapon. If I tweet "I just ate a tuna sandwich", people in countries who don't have a tuna sandwich will be dissatisfied. They will wonder how their government has failed them and this may lead to civil unrest or even revolution. Now, if I tweeted "I just ate a tuna sandwich and an apple"...
Philadelphia already has a 3.9% city income tax. If you earn money as a blogger, you already pay part as a city income tax. It's not about income, it's about control. Governments don't like critics, particularly anonymous critics. This way, at least in Philly, if you're an anonymous blogger, you're breaking the law.
Read "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" by Charles Mackay (first published in 1841). His book discusses Tulip-mania in the Netherlands and witch persecutions (and many more incidents) to illustrate the distinct LACK of wisdom of crowds.
"Flawed computer models may have exaggerated the effects of an Icelandic volcano eruption that has grounded tens of thousands of flights, stranded hundreds of thousands of passengers and cost businesses hundreds of millions of euros.
The computer models that guided decisions to impose a no-fly zone across most of Europe in recent days are based on incomplete science and limited data, according to European officials. As a result, they may have over-stated the risks to the public, needlessly grounding flights and damaging businesses."

Want to put a stop to this - don't sue, just publish the names of people who spent time downloading and presumably *shudder* watching films by Uwe Boll.

Lieutenant Stephen Decatur is vomiting in his grave
Has Commodore Decatur been posthumously demoted?
Anyhow, I agree with your point. Though, why not hire a couple of ex-military security staff and mount a 50 caliber on the ships deck?

A few points:
1) Not all conservatives / libertarians oppose net neutrality
2) Most of these writers have a pretty good understanding of the issue
3) Several who oppose it do it on free market principles
4) There is a legitimate distrust of the FCC - some view the net neutrality issue as being used as an excuse for an FCC power grab
1) Make sure that cockpit doors are reinforced (this should already have been done)
2) Arm any pilot / co-pilot who wants to be armed and has training
3) Metal detectors, x-ray luggage & carry-ons
4) Hand every boarding passenger a baseball bat
That could work ... till the ZPM's run out of power and the wraith attack.
If they do that, then the MPAA/RIAA will have to orbit their own satellite.
(10 years from now)
"Look the Pirate Bay satellite is approaching that small moon"
"That's no moon!!!" ZZZZAAAPPPP!!!!!
They're trying to get her to repost the endorsement so they can file an additional lawsuit.

New Consumer Product Safety Commission slogan: "To serve and obey and guard consumers from harm"
In Geographic Password you pick Soviet Russia.
"Luke I am your father. Now I am standing closer. Now I am farther away. Now I am closer ..."
then sell it for $300 an ounce
Uhhh, you haven't checked the price of gold in a while, have you?
it's hard to imagine new entrants MeeGo (Intel) and Bada (Samsung) gaining any sort of traction
Yeah, but imagine the Samsung OS coupled with the Microsoft search engine. Who wouldn't want a phone named BadaBing!

"By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?"

So THAT explains it!
Gene Roddenberry didn't sue Motorola to prevent them from releasing the StarTAC phone (which was modeled on the Star Trek communicator).

What if you are Neutral Neutral...would you just collapse in a heap of jello?
Stop insulting us Druids, you insensitive clod! :-)
OK, I was wrong. The world will end this year when the RIAA sends a "cease and desist" order to the Sun.
I have one simple requirement: all laws must be written in a Wiki with full history
I have a simpler one - legislators must read the laws before voting on them.
Indeed, I never figured out why the Concorde was banned in America
I recall seeing it at the Columbus, OH airport a couple of times. May have been banned at a few US airports, but certainly not all.
