Net neutrality is certainty for growing companies. AT&T née SBC, Verizon, Comcast, Time Warner... these are not companies that need a lot of growth. They're already huge. The simple regulation was pretty straightforward.
Not having a neutral network, which actually means not having fair-market pricing and having censorship power over content producers and publishers in the hands of the incumbent network providers means much less certainty for smaller companies that may be trying to grow. Will your customers be able to see your video without paying extra to receive it compared to Comcast's own IP video streaming? Will AT&T disallow traffic from a website that publishes an article critical of AT&T from reaching AT&T customers? This whole "pay to upload and pay to download at the producer, then have the consumer pay to upload and download at their end, then tack on extra costs for the consumer to download the content from only some producers" is an unfair business tactic and a cause of uncertainty among those content producers.
Pai is trying to make things simpler for the biggest companies on the network and much more risky and unknown for absolutely everyone else, and calls that transparency.
Bannon was just recorded on audio the other day at some meeting. The topic was Trump's clear mandate to disassemble the administrative state and gut non-statute regulations. That's the plan. They want to make sure if something's not in the statutory code it's not legally enforceable. The want to completely dismantle the Executive agencies beyond Defense, State, and DHS basically.
Pai's not there to provide regulations or play games with regulations. He's there to remove them. "Improved demarcation" means in this context he wants to shrink what each one covers to the point there's obviously no overlap.
The phrase "both sides of the aisle" is itself a political statement, and a bullshit one at that. The majority of the US are independent voters. The "first past the post" voting system is allowing this duopoly and false dichotomy to keep gasping for air. We need real chances for other parties and a real representational voting system to allow that. I support approve/disapprove voting.
Oh, we really need Portillo's down here. Or at least Munchies. In the meantime, http://houston.eater.com/maps/... has some recommendations. For what it's worth, the JCI on Hollister off 290 and the one on SH-6 out in Copperfield have never put barbecue sauce on my Chicago dog. Sonic has a reasonable facsimile, too, minus the bun of course.
I actually moved down here from downstate - the Quincy / Springfield area - about six years ago. I used to travel to Chicago regularly for business and pleasure. My girlfriend just moved down from the northwest 'burbs about two and a half years ago. She's from the Rolling Meadows / Arlington Heights area. She's a Cubs and especially a Blackhawks fan. I'm a Cards, Chiefs, and Blackhawks fan.
There's a Gino's East up around Spring / The Woodlands. Groupon has a $30 for $16 deal for it right now. It's not quite the same, but it's much closer than anyone else down here. There are some other decent deep dish places, but most of them don't get the cheese/crust layer just right and don't use any corn meal in the crust.
I work with some Chicago transplants, too. I can probably ask around about whether anyone's found something close to Giordano's.
Here in Houston we can still get the Blackhawks audio on the WGN app, thankfully. We can't get it on broadcast unless it's something like the Wednesday Night Rivalry. The NHL app is blacked out if they're playing the Stars, as if Dallas is local to Houston or Houston TV would carry a Dallas game by choice.
I used to sometimes listen to Spurs games back in central Illinois as long as they were night games. WOAI 1200 AM carries quite far after dark.
Mostly I use the radio to listen to KUHF, but sometimes I'll flip over to KKHH or something on the way home from the office.
Water doesn't tend to be the problem in aqueous solutions. The fact that it's a solution means that you've got these other chemicals in your water if it spills. I doubt anything that stores a high amount of charge is something you want to casually mop up while the kids and pets lap it off the floor.
You're leaving out that some of these people rather than work a low-paying job at that point would seek education, training, and internships that make them more qualified for jobs that require more skills and are more rewarding. It can be difficult to fit in school and work when you have to work 40 or 60 or 80 hours a week. If one is paid enough to have a studio apartment, laptop, and Internet access and enough free time to take classes online without needing all those hours, one might be more likely to bootstrap themselves out of the unskilled labor pool into something less prone to be replaced with automation.
How many passwords do you figure I could grab from a web forum that's over HTTP that are common to the same user's banking or utility accounts?
How do you know that the JavaScript being sent from/. is what the site intended? Over HTTP are you sure it's not something injected with extra code targeted at a security vulnerability in your specific browser (which the attack would know from your headers unless you're masking them)?
How about people knowing exactly which articles you read from which sites? With HTTPS and SNI they know what server you used. If you're using insecure DNS then they might already know which hostname you looked up, but that's another data source.
Do you disable cross-site cookies? Did you think about the fact that any third-party observer who can see your traffic can read first-party cookies anyway if you're on HTTP?
Some third-party extended "warranties" are actually more like product failure insurance. Microcenter will sell you a plan that covers the screen getting broken from dropping the thing. http://www.microcenter.com/sit...
So the company that put Windows rootkits on Redbook audio CDs puts backdoors in other products? Stunning!
The company that sold the PSP 1000 to early adopters at $250+ per unit based on all the things it would be able to do with expansions, then released expansions that only worked with later models doesn't take their customers' needs seriously? Shocking!
The company that advertised Linux on the PlayStation 3 then made it impossible to use Linux if you installed most of the newer PS/3 games stomps on their promises? Inconceivable!
Or... oh, wait... no, that's not it. The surprising part is that anybody trusts these shady jerks at all.
I was wondering if they meant Columbia, Maryland or Columbia, South Carolina. Either one is pretty far upstream for a major vessel. Columbia, Missouri and Columbia, Tennessee more so.
"After Hoover" meaning Herbert or J. Edgar? Becuase the latter was at the BI and FBI from 1924 to 1972. 1972 to 1990 is a small window there.
Ask George Takei about detention without trial. Look up US Executive Order 9835. Read up on Dennis v. United States if you don't believe the US curtailed civil liberties. Read up on the Hollywood blacklist. It wasn't just McCarthy and Hoover with some two-man mission.
Ask the folks at Kent State who were shot for peacefully protesting the Cambodian campaign in 1970, just before your window opens. Read up on Ruby Ridge. That's just after your window closes.
So you're basically asking "when, during this 18 year period, did we ever have curtailed rights?"?
Meanwhile we have people in the US who can't understand why some insist on favoring US-made infantry weapons rather than Belgian, Italian, and German ones.
Not only did they sell to Cuba. They stationed first-strike nuclear ballistic missiles there. Then when the US blockaded Cuba, they sent submarines with nuclear tipped torpedoes as part of the force to challenge the blockade.
The US trained the mujahideen because Russia was forcibly occupying Afghanistan. So I'm not sure they're really the country you want to use to compare Russia to the US and show Russia favorably.
I think if the precedent holds that common carrier is black or white and who regulates them based on that holds, they're going to still be able to offer non-common services. What they really won't like, though, is that this is consistent with the FCC's argument that because they are common carriers and tie non-common offerings to common offerings that the FCC gets to regulate the non-common offerings.
Desktop support is a very tiny percentage of IT. We're talking racks of servers, multi-gigabit per second links between data centers, centralized configuration management, server monitoring as a service, custom web applications with published APIs for customers to use, individual servers with hundreds of gigabytes of RAM, true virtualization, containers, on-demand spin-up of new VMs, automated testing and deployment of new code, and single web queries across all that which trigger communication across multiple companies to fulfill the request and provide a product or service based on it.
No, a desktop being "fast enough" and running a "new enough" desktop OS doesn't have much at all to do with a contraction in IT jobs.

I guess my mind just went dark, because I first read the headline as "HP Top Level Executive On Life Support After the Split".

It makes sense it was a misspelling.
The cost to Apple doubles, driving up retail $6.
The manufacturing cost of an iPhone 6 is about $5. The parts and materials cost around $220.
Making it cost $10 or $11 to manufacture isn't going to break anyone.

Obscurity doesn't hurt, but don't count on even several layers of it without some rigorous security design, too.
