Yes there is, the FCC preempts by law (1993 com act). PSCs used to serve that very function, but the FCC *was given* the power they are trying to *claim they never had* now from the same republican votes to help big business!
Well, they did it to themselves if that is how it goes. Every actual crazy right winger was elected specifically because of the crazy right wing propoganda they were tossing around to make the centrists look like left wing nutjobs.
What are you smoking? The internet flourished specifically because of regulation. Look up some of the history of reciprocal comp for example, or the tarifs before cable/dsl were exempted from them, PSCs etc.
But the numbers are there showing that there were hundreds of excess deaths and life-changing disabilities, such as blindness or retardation, from kids not getting measles vaccines.
Link please?
I'm all for vaccination--let's just get that out of the way up front. Wakefield has been up to no good. But Bill Gates is now on record saying that thousands of children have died as a result of Wakefield's work. I have yet to see any empirical evidence of this. Indeed, the only evidence I've seen at all (that Wakefield has had real impact) is anecdotal and often turns out to be attributable to other forces (e.g. illegal immigrants who don't know they can get free vaccinations, religious parents who refuse vaccinations anyway, that sort of thing).
It bothers me that in an argument about the unempirical, biased work of one scientist, we are trotting out in opposition not truth but different lies. This is a very big problem! And yet we are all so angry at Wakefield that no one appears willing to call Gates on the carpet to explain what he is talking about and where his data is coming from. So have we decided that lies and invented statistics are okay so long as they support something we like? Come on, people. We're better than that.
I'll even name names here, a certian class of high end WatchGuard response to certian kinds of DDoS is to stop forwarding all traffic. This is designed behavior. They even sent a second free firewall of the same class to sit in front of the targeted host as a "solution" to the issue.
So a former vice president gets credit for inventing the internet, and this vice president can get credit for the creation of PGP! Wonderful.
You know, I hear this crap a lot, and it really bothers me as someone who was actually involved in a lot of the process at the time. He certainly didn't invent the internet, but if it had not been his pet project, we would have never gotten to the point we are today, as it was quite a bit of his influence that led to much of the anti bell sentiment to the legislation and regulation, which if you look long term, is a significant aberration in the FCC / Congress historical record, and it certainly was reversed as much as possible once the next administration came to power. I mean look at how the FCC / Congress have done in regards to the net neutrality issue, which really is only an issue due to the actions and attitudes of the previous administration's FCC.
But this "list" is not anything like what you just described. It is in fact mostly public urination, statutory rape based solely on age of consent not actual consent, and the like by the numbers.
Good point! The numbers are astronomically large with IPV6. Does this "security through obscurity" improve your risk profile? I discussed the challenges of testing networks this large: www.redspin.com/blog/
I'm sorry, I'm confused, you are complaining about security through obscurity, and that is your argument in *favor* of nat?/boggled
Do you have any idea what you are talking about at this point? What you just said made absolutely no sense.
Congress has given the agency explicit mandate by its creation, and absolutely may override, note I said congress may override, not individual congressmen.
Question: What exactly is the FCC for if not to be an administration to manage communications, or do you expect congress to make every rule on everything? Like seat heights on airplanes, etc?
You should refrain from lumping the rest of the world in to your little delusions, the rest of the internet that actually works in networking, do not in fact, share your paranoid view of "OMG PEOPLE SEE MY IPS! THEY CAN HACK ME!" and are actually quite comfortable in the significant distinction between stateful fire-walling and IP masquerading / Network Address Translation.
You may have actually had a smidgen of an argument if you had brought up PI space as opposed to using assigned space in your uninformed rant due to portability issues when switching carriers or multihoming, but unfortunately, you avoided even the one tiny hope of an argument you could have made in your favor.
As to your DNS vs IP comment, (although this applies to your previous ranting as well) To quote a favorite movie of many: What you just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Thank you for warning the rest of the internet of your ignorance, I have as such, marked you as -1 in my list, and appreciate the gracious warning so that I may avoid your drivel in the future. Have a nice day =)
A lot of that wouldn't be so much to try to cover cloudy days, but to not waste good days. If you have to turn off the mirrors more than x percent of the time because you can't store more thermal load, you've probably under built for the conditions you're in.

Yep, all those child labor laws need to go to. They really cut down on the jobs.
Perhaps you should pick a better metric for gauging regulation and its impact on business?
Yep, clearly since proposed regulation wasn't enough, we should scrap it and have none. That will be so much better.
But they didn't, they tried to pass it...

Personally I'd love for cars to administer a mild electric shock if it is determined that the driver changed lanes or turned without signaling.
Next up, SONY auto...
Oh please, that's nothing. I've literally seen 6mb dsl circuits being sold at a location that had 2 T1s as backhaul.
No I will not name the company.
This is the moderate fix. The proper one is utilitization.

What's the difference?
If you aren't angry enough to not purchase over it, then clearly you aren't offsetting the money they make using the feature.
Yeah, but that's only if nasty job killing regulation forces you to consider that costly job killing externality in your cost estimates.
Then keep them in jail.

Even if "gun crime" did rise after a ban, eventually it would fall as weapons are harder to obtain.
Except it doesn't, just like marijuana et all are not difficult to obtain in the slightest, and have been illegal for many many years now.

If you want to talk budget, lets go really low ball, Ghost Liars.
