Someone happens to be using voip to call 911 while on Level 3, while Cogent is maintaining the 911 system's voip call receiver, preventing the voip 911 call from ever reaching it...
In this case, the person who saw to it that your mythical "911 system's VoIP call receiver" was single-homed is a moron. The Tier 1 providers would hardly be liable for this person's stupidity of setting up life-critical emergency infrastructure without redundancy.

If anything the new features list looks like they are adding Safari features to Firefox, so what reason do you have for using Firefox on OS X?
How about consistency for those of us who use 3-4 different operating systems a day? Oh, and it has the Adblock extension. Ultimately, you use a specific browser because you like it. Beyond that, there is no need to have a reason!
Seriously, why not just make it dynamic so you can just add more to your array and achieve more bandwith.
Because you only have a limited chunk of the airwaves available for use. If you keep "trunking" radios to get more throughput, at some point you will be using up all the spectrum you are legally allowed to.
The headline says "P2P piracy," but the summary says "organized piracy." But peer-to-peer is not organized; it is ad-hoc by definition. So which is it that the proposal is referring to?
I support P2P to some extent, but I really see no problem with cracking down on organized piracy. Unfortunately the summary's ambiguity makes it difficult to decide if I should be in opposition to the proposal.
If I don't like my neighbor looking through my window, it's my responsibility to take him to court - I shouldn't try and get a law passed that the police need to go around actively seeking people who peek through windows.
I consider your analogy to be more applicable to typical banner/popup ads than to spyware. With spyware, the neighbour is not only looking through your window, but coming in to your house, using your stuff, and leaving a mess behind.
It's a shame they can't leverage the bandwidth of AARNET, which has fibre running right down the newell highway (N-S in country NSW). This is academic stuff and I wouldn't expect that the economics would add up in country NSW for commerical ventures - just not enough people care about the internet there.
That's a similar problem with getting commercial providers to bring internet out to the many rural areas of my province (Alberta, Canada). But the government is currently installing a massive fibre network to all schools and gov't offices (even the tiny hicktowns), and when it's done commercial ISPs will be able to hook in. Already there are companies preparing to use this to offer dsl/cable in small towns.
If IE infringed on a patent... then would that mean all ATMs having to be altered?
Suppose Microsoft did get ordered to change something in Windows (IE, or anything else). That wouldn't mean that all Windows customers would suddenly have to upgrade to the new "law-abiding" Windows.
Viruses? do you want a Windows virus to infect an ATM which is responsible for money!!
How do you propose any virus would get on the machine? I highly doubt any bank is retarded enough to put ATM's on the Internet (or any network containing anything besides banking stuff), and since floppy/CD drives are either not present or behind locks....
From the article: "Too many computers at companies are prevented from entering their standby mode by LAN traffic, which keeps them awake and consuming power even while they are not in use, he said....Williams suggests redesigning network cards to allow the PC to go to sleep and then wake it should there be any important network traffic."
Hasn't that already been done in the form of Wake-on-LAN?

Where are you located? I know Fort McMurray was way behind a while ago, so they are probably still not online, but most areas are finished up now.

No, I got the joke but thought you didn't. Apparently I should have read the whole thread. Doh.
