The way to get net neutrality is to convince Republicans that it is important, not cater to the 0.01% of the population who might actually change their votes over this.
Should the government start laying cable? No.
Should the government be putting pressure on the telcos that promised to do it. Definitely.
Should the government constrain the ISPs that are preventing local governments from doing it. Abso-freakining-lutely,
The funny thing is that Gov Cuomo just made a fool of himself begging bushinesses to adopt a subway and pay for maintenance so that their employees can have a better commute. Encourage people to move to rural areas and telecommute would release some of the pressure and make adoption unnecessary.

There were some interesrting revelations. For a while you could not buy a gateway from them, you had to rent it. Recently they changed it back to you own the gateway, but they now require only AT&T sold gateways. It is almost impossible to get a gateway that does not come with a router. The problem is that anything gained from adding your own custom router to the system is obviated by the fact that there is an AT&T router in between.
First. I hate Code of Conducts. For the most part declaring behaviour outside of work is dumb, and at work anything that is unacceptable should not need to be codified. Rules demanding niceness are just agar for Dunning-Krueger. If you can't stand criticism don't program. ( I'm talking to you Poettering. Oh and I don't mean taking a swing at a coworker is permissible, with some extreme exceptions. )
Not using Drupal AFAIU, Drupal is open source. First. I suspect that if a proprietary company did the same thing, well a proprietary company wouldn't their HR department wouldn't let them.
What is more, I wonder if the guy has been making contributions for less money then what a similar person would be making in a proprietary company. Open source development is different from closed source development. It's sort of like a "stay at home" wife having sex with her husband versus a prostitute, there's a level of commitment involved.
This one incident may or may not be justified, but it is not the first such incident. I have to wonder if OSS developers are now going to start asking to be treated in the same manner as proprietary developers, or in liu keeping the copyrights on what they right. Yes it may be petty to "go home and take your ball", but you know what is even pettier? Forcing me top go home and leave my ball behind me.
A freewheel is the ratcheting mechanism attached to the wheel hub that holds the cogs. It can refer to the device with or without the cogs attached.
I can't say how hard it is to do because you need a special tool which I've never shelled out for because I'm happy with the gear ratio on my freewheels.
It is also reverse threaded, otherwise pedaling would cause it to unscrew and fall off.
Putting on a freewheel is easy. You don't even have to tighten it much because pedaling will do that for you. OTOH removing it is hard because even modest pedaling will tighten the connection a lot.
Stores will just sell bikes without wheels and wheels separately.
Every bicyclist should know how to remve and install wheels and quick releases make it so much easier.
Even installing a freewheel is not hard ( removing a freewheel is a trial of strength though ).
So why really what good does it do unless you buy your bike at kmart or someplace like that?
To increase graphical efficiency, a long, long time ago the process subsystem and the graphics subsystem were built together. I would say merged, but they were never really separate. ( What do you think NT stands for.)
This was one of the things that made people criticise Windows in the 90s.
There used to be a similar bug in the CloseHandle call used with FindFirstFile. If you close a file handle that is not open it would freeze for 7s ( Yes seconds. ) because of a bad hash lookup.
That's IIRC correctly haven't touched Windows in a while, but then what do yiou think the Nt in the API call stands for?
use the neighboring Starbucks or McDonalds WiFi.
What is more worrisome is if they were to patent a process where if you are at one of their brick and mortar stores, and you check Target's price they give you a false higher price.
There is really only one thing I use public WiFi for. I check bus and train schedules. Here in Chicago the CTA keeps track with GPS so they give you a fairly reliable estimate of how long it will take. Oh and to check sites like slashdot while I'm waiting.
Yes when Bill won he "saved" the Democratic party from Presidential doldrums, but he had a lot -- a really big amount of help from a guy named Ross Perot. In exchange he cost them the House and the Senate, and people who never voted for Republicans for those seats once in their life now began to do so in great numbers.
He then went on to began the corruption ( actually he bagan the corruption in Arkansas, the 49th rated country in the US ) to get himself relected and not impeached. Why do we have Citizen's United, because Bill got caught renting out the Lincoln bedroom and getting campaign donations from China. As a smoke screen to hide the fact he could not follow campaign finance laws, he decided that what we have to is create more laws he would not follow. So campaign finance reform was born which gave us McCain-Feingold, which gave us Citizen's United.
Bill at least had charisma, which Hillary does not. His foibles were weirder then hers but less foul.
He was at least a long time governor, she was a one time senator of a seat she was given. I wish Patrick Moynihan and his kind were back.
Worse, if she makes as comeback, it will encourage Jeb.
Trump got elected because modern politicians are bankrupt. 95% of them. The 5% that are not get indoctinated before too long.
These kinds of statistics are always very tricky. Yes she lost by slim margins in some places, but IIRC there were places where she won by slim margins. ( Wasn't Vriginia one of those? ).
Flip all of those states who wins?
I'm not for the FBI releasing names of Geek Squad Goons, but I want as much information on the program as can be released be done so.
Not because I want to out the FBI, but because I want to out the Geek Squad for being the twerps and nongeeks they truly are.
Bil Gates and larry Ellison may be tools but they were "good" CEOs. As was Steve Jobs 2.0 ( 1.0 not so much, there was a reason he was fired ).
So why are the women we hear about, Fiorina, Meyer, Rommety Whitman... all incompetent.
People in 50s had to use Bell or no telephone system at all!
With google just the opposite. Mint makes it a struggle to set your search to google. They force Yahoo on you.
MS products push Bing on you. I really have to go out of my way to use google.
People choose google, because they like it , not because of some monopoly influence.
Doesn't help much and by the time there is proof one way or another it will all be over either way.
Frankly I'm convinced it is a DDoS for one reason. If it wasn''t, Pai might be stupid enough to claim it was, but there are people are him who would convince him that making the claim it was not a smart thing to do. Hell, rumor has it Verizon is running an electro astroturfing campaign. Creating bots that that create false accounts and submit antiNN comments. Maybe their bots ran wild and created the DDoS.
Keep in mind this is not a referendum, even if the FCC receives negative comments totaling 99% of the US population, they can just blow it off.
When MS and the DoJ reached a settlement more then a decade ago. Before the judge could approve the settlement, they had to do something similar. They received a ton of comments that went something like "Microsoft sucks break it up.". The judge took a few substantive comments and tweaked the settlement a bit and approved it.
I think a better effort would be to make sure that people get a way to confirm their comments actually were submitted and reflect their actual comments. Just think of what would happen if Comcast were caught forging comments!
Something else they can do is get the comment period extended to compensate for the difficulties. Just like when there is a problem with a polling place in an election, a judge can extend the times the polls are open. The FCC, after all, does not have to abide by the comments, but they do, by law, have to receive the comments and listen to them.
This has the smell of something the Macron campaign released to blame on LePen.
Someone wanting to help LePen would have released it earlier and given people a chance to examine the documents.

Eventually some of these morphed into the first real "laptops" as opposed to luggables.
there are too many regulations getting in the way?

Enough saiid.
So we have a Microsoft founder backed company getting involved in fusion, probabl,y grabbing some critical patents.
Gives new meaning the the phrase "blue screen of death".
