first off, who the hell said that the FCC was going to break up CISCO??? this was about the cable operators....
anyway, Cisco is just implementing a feature than *nix (or at least Linux) has had for a while, the ability to favor some traffic over another... this is prefectly legitimate, even though it COULD be abused... (which is the point of the Consumer groups, that without open access, the cable companies will have vast content-control powers...)
I am about to move into a house with some friends, we plan to use QoS to make sure that some more important services do not get interrupted by web-surfing, and to make sure that every one gets AT LEAST their fair share of the bandwidth (as much as available, but no less than X)

okay what civil liberties were violated?
he has no right to bail (esp as a convicted felon)
he has chosen to delay his trial, and then chosen to plead guilty...
what civil liberties were violated?
proof?
he waived his right to a speedy trial after having been convicted of this crime before...
he did so so his lawyers could have more time to review the evidence... and then he pled GUILTY...
your organization was able to rais $3k for his defense... 20c / reader... nice job, no wonder he could only afford the court-appointed lawyers...
Bullshit
he is a repeat offender.
now, "Signal 11", what cracks did he fall through?
what political movement does he represent?
What IDEALS does he uphold in defiance of the USG..
Oh yeah, the script kiddie code...
oh and what other thing, since you are so smart and knowledgeable about the case, please do tell us WHICH rights of his were violated?...
Rallies ought to free people?
no...
try learning about the social contract
It is ENTIRELY irrelevant why he did what he did.
He did it.
Society disapproves.
Society has created the US gov't to do something about it, and said "this is that penalty"
US gov't does something about it
he has done it, gotten caught, AND DONE IT AGAIN.
he deserves this and the darwin award...
bullshit Kevin's lawyers kept asking, and getting, delays...
Do you think someone ought to be able to delay his way out of jail?
try learning social contract theory
*we* gave the US government this power.
they have it legitmately, as *we* chose to surrender some rights, that others might be maximized.
You have the right to wave your hands. The protection of this right ends the moment your hand touches my face.
To keep people from abusing these rights *we* gave them the power to use coersive force, but only in such circumstances that a *crime* was committed.
A crime (defined by society) was committed. The US government, the agent of society, did something about it.
Tough shit, don't live here if you don't like it...
you have no right to bail.
If it has been that long since you have used linux, no wonder you have never seen a good X app...

Abi Word
Grip (ripper/encoder for mp3 creation, CDDB lookup and asynched ripping and encoding, very nice)
Eterm

the list goes on...
granted the MFC toolkit does not look bad, while straight Xlib _can_ look shitty, you always have gtk (and to be fair, qt)
and regarding a visual basic..

????
the consumer groups are talking about open access re: cable...
QoS is not a prob unless it is coupled with a monopoly in the inet access department...
