Teaching everyone to code is a bad idea. Teaching people to code well is a good idea but, of course, most people will never be able to code well. By the same token, journalism has become a license to destroy people's lives with impunity. "Oh, I had an anonymous source." Do you really want the toxic combination of bad programmers and shoddy journalism creating, well, ANYTHING?
People REALLY need to start reading and understanding the 10th Amendment. Either the FCC has jurisdiction over the internet or it doesn't. You can't have it both ways. If the FCC was really legally allowed to turn ISPs into public utilities, then the states, cities, etc. could do nothing about it. By the same token, if the FCC has jurisdiction over ISPs and chooses to NOT create net neutrality regulations, then the states can't do anything about it either. Tough noogies. If, on the other hand, the DPRC is legally allowed to implement net neutrality, then by the 10th Amendment, the FCC was never allowed to do what it did under the last administration. Tough noogies. By the same token, if the federal government chooses not to enforce federal immigration law then cities and states can, then cities and states can choose to enforce or not as they see fit. Tough noogies for the federal court. You can't have it both ways. This isn't a pick-and-choose which laws we like and which ones we don't country. Bottom line is that like so many other things that were rammed down the throats of the people, Congress should be the one making the rule and suffer whatever electoral consequences come of it.
Think about the implications for this. If they can increase range for a natural disaster, what's to stop "them" from decreasing the range or even preventing you from driving at all for whatever nefarious reasons you can think of? Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed.
Let's say that you have built a Linux-based "appliance" and it's deployed in numerous places around the world. Let's also say that you need to make some changes to system libraries for new versions. AFAIK, the only way to do this is to have root access. So how would you build some sort of updating software that a user with no Linux experience could run that would allow for installation of new system components? If you have to have root/superuser access, how do you keep it secure? Is there another way to do this?
Personally, I'd like to see TeamView melded into Skype for those involved tech support sessions where you need to converse with someone and control their computer at the same time.
The reason it doesn't work is because there are no written rules for what constitutes so-called hate speech. That's by design because that's not what it's about at all. It's about power, pure and simple. People pushing the idea of hate speech insist that they be the ones to define it in a "I'll know it when I see it" fashion. Have you noticed that the very people calling out others for using racist dog-whistles, code, and language seem to be the only ones able to hear the whistle, decode the code, and demonstrate a remarkable fluency in the language? Kafka would be so proud.
Has anyone reporting on this actually read the entire text? I'll bet not. Regardless, the ISPs aren't going to bend over an deliver gigabit internet to everyone. They will most likely not upgrade performance or even universally degrade performance. With most places having two or even one ISP, there's no competitive financial incentive to make the service universally better.
Look, if these environmental doomsayers had their way, the evil, disgusting scourge of humanity would be wiped form the face of Mother Gaia. They should be cheering this as good news. Thin the herd.
Why anyone would believe that net neutrality would fix this is beyond me. There is a finite amount of bandwidth available. That's a simple technological fact. So if, in fact, net neutrality is what proponents say it is and all content is treated equally, then nobody gets a fast lane including public safety users. So, in this case, public safety users have to share the limited bandwidth with everybody else especially thousands of people wanting to stream live video of the event. But if net neutrality gives some regulatory entity the power to adjust the quality-of-service (most routers have this feature) of one type of user's bandwidth, then it really isn't neutral at all. The fact that a dedicated network to handle public safety traffic is being built tells you that net neutrality won't solve the problem.
As long as people like this can even get their foot in the door, the project is in serious trouble. P.S. Homer Hickam rules. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sci...
Nutritionists and health food nuts have been trying to "fix" what people eat for decades. The fix is always worse than the original problem if there really was any problem to begin with. And so what if you live to be 95? You'll most likely have some debilitating degenerative disease that makes daily life pretty miserable.
Politicians simply have ZERO understanding of engineering, technology, and business. Here's one reason why this will never work: What happens when one company makes a product that uses a single-source IC and that IC manufacturer goes out of business? Here's another: what happens when you design a product that uses a complicated BGA device? How is the average person supposed to be able to repair that device when they don't have access to the necessary equipment used to reflow BGA boards?
What if you live in, say, Florida where it's hot and humid all the time like a wet sauna? By the same token, what if you live in the desert where it's hot and dry all the time like a dry sauna?

No, I meant the sarcasm-impared. ;-)

Because the herd needs thinning.
Yeah, tell me again why national healthcare is a good idea. No matter what you say, you're wrong.
How the hell are you going to convince joe-six-pack to give up their hydrocarbons if you do this?! #sarcasm
Just resurrect the Fairness Doctrine and apply it specifically to these companies.

But you don't have to sign up for it or even buy a car with it installed.

Drill down into your telecommunications bills (Verizon, AT&T, etc) and you'll see a laundry list of regulatory taxes and fees.
Neither the UN nor the governments really care if the problem gets solved or not as long as they maintain or increase their power over people's lives.

Irrelevant. The same story is all over the place.
Clearly, trial lawyers have found a way to defeat evolution.

Young Americans' frame of reference is eight years of Obamanomics. They believe that that's what capitalism looks like. It's not.
