Fat lotta good that will do. Do you know how many of the companies that gave Miss Blackburn so much money for this law are in her constituency? None, not one. She will listen to outside influences with money long before she listens to a mere voter. Unfortunately the same goes for every other politician.
What yo mean the record breaking response to the FCC wasn't enough, the fact that 99% of the almost 4 million comments to the FCC were pro Net Neutrality means nothing.
What makes you think that sending a congress person an email is going to say more then the above. If your congress person is going to willfully ignore the will of the people what makes you think any communication form you is going to make a difference.
the perception of impropriety is strong in this Blackburn.
I honestly could care less what Netflix likes. We used to have this argument here on Slashdot in the 90's and early 2000's, where people thought that ISP's were common carriers. It wasn't true but it was the argument that they should be that stuck.
Well now in under 8 pages they are, what I find funny is that here some people are unhappy. Make up your mind slashdot, you finally got what you want, and before it is even implemented you bitch and moan.
When have you EVER had an inside look at the FCC's (an independent agency) rule making process. Why is it just now that this is an issue when it never has before?
So now a small number of companies has more sway with this "politician" then the record breaking response the FCC received on this issue. Less then 1% of the FCC's response were against Net Neutrality, but because this Congressman's PAC received $81,000 AT&T, Comcast, the NCTA and Verizon, he feels that this is what the American people want?
Right.
Straight up bribery, and nothing will ever be done about it.
That's one way it can be used.
"StingRay and similar Harris products can be used to intercept GSM communications content transmitted over-the-air between a target cellular device and a legitimate service provider cell site."
The FCC is an independent agency and does not answer to the President. Put it this way, Obama can't fire Wheeler without just cause. He does not work "at the pleasure of the President".
So wait are you saying that if a wallet has some stolen bitcoins then you get to purchase it at a default, but you still get the whole sum including the tainted bitcoins?
That makes absolutely no sense. What would happen to the "dirty" bitcoins at that time. Are they turned over to the police so they can be returned to their owner, like any other stolen property, or, as it seems, are you saying you would get to not only buy them at a discount but get to keep them?
The Grammar Nazi, the person who has nothing to offer the argument, but feels to need to open their mouth and try and make themselves feel superior.
How did it work out for you?
Come on the 200,000 found in a old wallet was a lie. Provably so.
"The idea that there were 200,000 or 180,000 bitcoins in a single wallet that they just discovered which had been dormant for years that contained 180,000 bitcoins is undercut by plain evidence on the blockchain," Stephen Woodrow said.
I thought they found them in that sorry about the 200,000 bitcoins in an "old wallet"
Or was that story that never got any follow up just a bunch of bs?
As long as they weren't using the AMPS frequencies it should be legal. Speaking of the AMPS frequencies, when are we going to rescind the law making listening to those frequencies illegal, it's not like that law is needed anymore.
Well the Supreme Court would be very different for 1. Actually that may be the most important. If we had had a Republican president we certainly would not have Sotamayor and Kagen. That in itself is a huge thing that will have repercussions far beyond Obama's presidency.

Because he's not RMS and probably doesn't have a problem with closed source software, like most of the world.
Let's not forget SourceForge
Yes because that piece was such great reporting.

>Did your first birthday cake have a zero on it?
No I think my parents were a bit busy, at least my mom was, you know giving birth to me.

Your an idiot for holding one person responsible for another's post.

And a currency that has such great potential. I mean it has only lost $1000 in value over the past year, and no real sign of it rising anytime soon.

Is no one else upset that your iphone is reporting back to apple and their affiliates what music you are listening to?
I think the fact they are getting information on what songs people play should be the real outrage, but hey that's just me.
That is the question, and probably warrants more outrage then the U2 album debacle.
Except these pages were in response to the outrage, they were after the fact pseudo fixes.
