The reason regulatory taxes on telephony exist is really an enigma to me. I did a google search and came up with the following TechLawyer Blog discussing the FCC's future (well, now curent) decision. An excerpt from the entry:
"one reason for regulation and taxation of common carriers is to assure quality of service and prevent harm to consumers through government action. in the "old days", i was ambivalent about protecting internet information providers from state taxation and regulation because i thought doing so would allow them to be less responsible. i have the same slightly queasy feeling about v.o.i.p. one big reason: v.o.i.p. raises serious security issues not present in p.o.t.s. networks."
The folks over at PayPalSucks.com have been fighting the shady practices of PayPal since its inception. It's a great source of information and a good browse for everyone who has accounts with PP. Just keept the bias in mind;) Here's a link to their discussion forum regarding the settlement. Very informative.
Does Verizon throttle your connection if you use a certain ammount of bandwidth a month? I ask because I can see subscribers hitting any limits fairly quickly with 15Mbit/s.
pr0n servers beware.
Damnit! When I sent in my fabrication designs I told them that they needed to run at least 1.21 gigawatts through the flux capacitor to uh... Well, that's... Nevermind.
Does this mean colleges can't prevent their students from setting up their own wireless networks?
If you're not using the physical resources of the university, no. If you start plugging in your AP's into university power outlets, you can get in serious trouble.
For those of you wondering where the pictures on the cinema displays came from it's the Jungfrau Region of Switerland. The valley is the Lauterbrunnen Valley. Now if I could only get the display to go with the picture...
But this isnt hacking!! THIS is hacking. What you're refereing to is cracking.
Sorry to piss on everyones parade...

...but the IODP is not about the exploration for hydrocarbons. Its about planetary research. One of the bonuses of this new vessel is that it can better withstand the elements of ACCIDENTALLY drilling into gas reservoirs making it better suited for exploration drilling on ocean slopes. This is definitely NOT about oil and gas. You mods should RTFA before marking up completely off topic comments about US energy consumption and oil as interesting and insightful.
Did you even RTFA? No. The IODP is not for oil exploration. I'll let you do your own fsking research and figure it out for yourself. As a matter of fact, these research vessels take great precautions to AVOID hydrocarbons because of their lack of blow out prevention devices. Finding oil and gas is a hazard to these vessels. Your post seems interesting enough, but its offtopic and not even remotely related to the scientific research being carried out by IODP.
This tactic would work if there weren't a sucker born every minute to replace the bitter 13-20 somethings who used to buy their games. And at the rate EA qand Atari is growing, I'd say it'll be a long time before they piss off enough people for your tactic or eventual bitterness to work.

"Blogs can be a great way of communicating, but they can keep people apart too. If I read only those of my choice, precisely tuned to my political biases and you read only yours, we could end up a nation of political solipsists, vacuum sealed in our private feedback loops, never exposed to new arguments, never having to listen to a single word we disagree with."
Which is pretty much exactly how I feel about my friends who watch only Fox News.;) All joking aside, isn't this the direction that most people on the politcal margins are moving towards to get thier news? Supporting their dogma rather than for the enlightenment of facts? Who wants to (or has time to) make an educated decision without input from 'source x' these days anyway? Is it that hard to stay in the center?
Right! My only idea is that Google's technology is so advanced, it filters messages before they are even sent. It's gotta be a result of faster-than-light calculations. Boy, I'm gonna buy me some stock.

Of course they work; they just have trouble teleporting anything larger than 10^-15 Angstroms.
Could you elaborate? Work firewall prevents me from viewing what is said on the page...
Interesting stuff to say the least.
Aren't there laws in the U.S. against purposfully spreading a virus?
Is that why you posted anonymously?
Yeah, but no one is worse than Taft.

It's these crazy Monday /. mods.
Here is a google search.
This is true 'ethical' hacking. And you don't even have to go to school to learn it. Well never mind, you have to go to school...

Actually, it looks like SHIT, Springfield Heights Institute of Technology.
