If you read the letter, you will see that it is NOT about net Neutrality. It is about trying to get net access to all, basically, the poor.
This has NOTHING to do with ensuring that there is no discrimination amongst providers. It has everything with ensuring that there is no discrimination amongst consumers in ability to get to it. THat is all.
This is a BIG difference.
The odd thing is that the church could simply pay for the access for their poor parishioners. But, they do not want to do that. They want the GOV. to do that.
if MS was willing to do the right thing, I am guessing that Google would go along with it. At that point, users all over will scream to their ISP's that they want IPV6.
Well, if you have no copper or fiber coming to your area, let alone house, I think that this sounds like a GREAT idea.
The simple fact is, that northern Canada is fairly desolate and loads of space from local to local. The same is true of much of this planet.
These guys are going to make loads of money.
The DOD needs a new tanker and ideally, it could use new Continent-to-Continent cargo crafts, as well as a new bomber to fill in for B-52s. Rather than use a 767 or a 320, it would be better for DOD to push the BWB and use it. In particular, with the BWB, it should have a smaller profile, be more fuel efficient and interestingly, be capable of re-fueling 3 aircrafts at one time (each wing and then one underneath). That is very useful for when you send a wing elsewhere.
Now, let also find those that are spying on America. The fact is that there are more malcontents who should NOT be granted security clearances. That is an absolute fact.
And we are LOADED with spies. I would guess that most are Chinese.
HOWEVER, what is desperately needed is an overhaul of the system. For example, it is still considered an issue if you are gay. Yet, the majority of ppl that are gay and working for the gov. are happy ppl and do not care one bit if they are gay. These ppl are NOT security risk, and should not be treated as such.
During the 00's and 90's, the tax break was useful to help build up the net. Now, the net is built up. It is time for nations to balance their budget esp. western nations.
What is needed is to avoid the insanity of multiple taxing districts. Instead, I would love to see ONE rate applied to all goods and then allow the nation of destination to decide how to divvy it up.
A 5% given to the nation would work. Here in the USA, we could keep 1% at the feds and then send 4% to the state and allow those states to decide how to deal with it.
Considering the MASSIVE jump in tech that would be required and at the pace that it did? Absolutely. Hell, are you going to claim that they developed their rocket tech and that their human launch vehicle does not have a combination of bought AND stolen items?
The Chinese are not incapable of developing these things. It is just that NO NATION can develop them that quickly. It would be akin to the manhatten project taking 3 week, instead of 3 years. That fact is, that CHina has so many advanaces and so quickly, it is obvious that they are tapped into MANY companies and govs., not just AMerica's.
Chinese leaders have been in a cold war with the west all along. Idiots, industrialists, and flower children all want to ignore the fact that China is spying on all, has their money fixed to the dollar, dumps, and of course subsidizes, all things that are illegal per WTO/IMF and CLinton Accord.
Hell, now that America is re-doing Rare Earth, China is cutting their output drastically to the world. It is not just illegal by WTO, but it shows that China can NOT be trusted.
And yet, the industrialists will push Obama to go along, the Flower child will say to not rock the boat and that China means well, EU will say that America is causing this, and the idiots will posts here on/. supporting China.
A number of industrialist have stated over and over what the issues are. Do not believe it? Then fucking google for it on this site.
It is NOT that manufacturing is so expensive because of regs, or unions, or anything else. THey have stated over and over and over that it is LAWSUITS that are keeping them out. Now, the small guys can do this. But lawsuits are too damn easy in our nation. We need to re-examine that and soon.
Yet, just like you, the gd dems and neo-cons refuse to look at what these ppl are saying. Instead, they bring up their favorite topic, and IGNORE FACTS.
No, what is killing the budget is NOT social programs. It is flowing our jobs elsewhere while dropping taxes. We used to collect taxes on corporations, but not so much anymore. Likewise, we used to collect taxes on nearly the entire spectrum, in a progressive fashion.
Basically, it is not that we are spending. It is that we have not been taxing enough and the interest on the accumulated debt is crushing us.
The fact is, that W allowed much of our military secrets to flow to CHina, along with American money and jobs. He/neo-cons passed bill after bill designed to flow jobs there. In addition, while speaking against China, he allowed large numbers to come here and work in American military R&D.
We can thank Rumsfeld, Cheney, and W for that. Those idiots never served (and please do not say that W served; That is a joke).
America has been destroyed. The question is, what will the rest of the west do? WIll you be so foolish as to flow jobs to CHina as well? Australia, you have your mines, and fields being gobbled up by CHina. EU, you have your IP going there as fast as possible as well.
It would appear that W was not just sending America's Manufacturing jobs to CHina, but allowed all sorts of Military secrets to go as well.
My only question is, why are ppl like Palmisano, Immelt, W, Rove, and even Cheny NOT living in China? Seriously, these ppl did more to help China than any other group of ppl INCLUDING CHINESE LEADERS!
Actually, many law suits ARE filed by lawyers PURELY FOR THE FUCK OF IT IN HOPES OF WINNING BIG. For example, those ads on TV where a lawyer claims that they are putting together law suits against a drug company?
Now, are there businesses and ppl that are looking to get rich as well? Absolutely. The problem is that the legal system has been rigged by the lawyer/politicians who make it so that they have places to go.
No doubt just lining up lawyers and shotting them will not solve the issue. HOWEVER, as the saying goes, it is a DAMN GOOD START.
Gases get released. Think canary in a coal mine. Some animals, esp. birds., are more susceptible to gases. And even within species they will have varying degrees of susceptibilities.
Here in America, it is our legal system that is killing us. We have idiots running around blaming Unions, regs, and high labor/power costs. And yet, according to major industrialists who put up plants all over the world EXCEPT in America, they blame it on the fact that so many lawsuits are filed. According to them, our high costs are minor compared to the costs of dealing with GD lawyers. And what do these lawyers become? Politicians.
I had hoped that ppl in America would take note, but we can not get slashdoters with the stories to even take note. I still see idiots here that blame unions, regs, while others blame business ppl. As such, I give little chance for the average citizen to figure things out.
Read through a number of postings here. You will find loads of ppl defending China's actions. Those are today's flower child. DO you really think that those ppl on this site defending CHina represent Big Business? Nope.
China will see the yuan inflate massively. They will have no choice but to untie from the dollar.
Now, you are correct that the BEST course of action is for us to raise barriers to them. But, it should be done slowly. And I agree with you. W should have done something back in 2004, but chose to push tax deals that helped send jobs to CHina instead. Obama has done nothing to either help CHina or America. Yet.
In light of the Marshall plan and the fact that America rebuilt Western Europe and Japan, yeah, West Germany kept ALL OF THEIR PATENTS AND COPYRIGHTS THAT WERE NOT RELATED TO MILITARY EQUIPMENT.
Actually, America CAN DO WITHOUT CHINA. They will have it difficult if it occurrs quickly, but if over 1-2 years, businesses are re-built back up, then America will be fine.
And China has signed a number of treaties that says that they will do free trade. WTO being the largest. And yet, they cheat like mad.
China has a split economy. Many of their goods, such as what coal miners and most of CHinese farmers are paid, is dictated by the CHinese gov. Most of what is capitalist there, is for manufactured goods destined for exports.
Actually, QE is NOT that beneficial to the economy. HOWEVER, it is far far far less destructive to America (and the west) than China's policy has been. China's cold war policy has been to drain the economies of the west by allowing LIMITED capitalism in there. There is little doubt that China's leaders see themselves in a war with the west.
Now, if you really want manufacturing to come back soon, then the DOD will insist that the phones that they buy for troops MUST BE MADE IN AMERICA.
In fact, if the DOD and the US gov. targets companies that have moved jobs to CHina and says that they will only buy those goods iff they are produced in America, then they will come back.

It has amazed me that we have spent BILLIONS and several decades on Osprey and they are just now going to Afghanistan. America has become a joke.

All at the tail end of the New Madrid fault line, which has received massive amounts of small quakes over the last couple of months.
Personally, I would say one of these things is not a big deal. Two of them is a coincident. All 3 occurring together, is VERY interesting.

U mean the way that China is freeloading by fixing their money and block imports? That kind of freeloading?
Then jobs would come back to the west. China of course, would be bankrupted within 1 year.
Actually, America CAN DO WITHOUT CHINA. They will have it difficult if it occurrs quickly, but if over 1-2 years, businesses are re-built back up, then America will be fine.
