    QoS/throttling, you can't see that ISPs will try and throttle via QoS settings? That clueless lawyer politicians will step on QoS issues when blundering about network throttling rules?

    You just broke the net.

    When you consider that politicians are even more technically clueless then the parent, consider the unintended consequences of putting them in charge.

  4. Put the government in charge of what is and isn't QoS...what could go wrong?

  5. Dude you don't even understand the history of the discussion.

    ISP's want to charge Netflix for rackspace. Netflix doesn't want to pay, claims 'net neutrality' means they get free racks everywhere.

    Takes the government out of the position of defining exactly what is QoS (hence legal prioritization). Can't trust 'em.

    There are no net neutrality rules that require all packets to be treated the same, because making QoS illegal breaks the net.

    Fuck off. Democracy in Saudi would be worse than what they have now (an issue you haven't addressed). Politics is the art of the possible.

    Also % is measured either by mass or by volume in the USA. No telling.

    IIRC 3.2 beer is measured in the 'alternative way', don't recall which that is. But 3.2 beer is closer to 5.0 than the raw numbers indicate. But it's still piss, low strength can beer.

    It doesn't take 3 drinks to reach 0.08%. Unless you're a quite large person. We should double blind 0.08%. I doubt it, I never felt the first couple, even as a kid.

    Google 'vitamin b alcohol'.

    At 0.08% your reflexes are slightly slowed, like being 10 years older. Judgement is fine.

    Your judgement is fine until about 0.15%, that's the science. 0.08% is MADD politics and revenue generation. Calling 0.08% binge drinking is bullshit. I bet even most MADD mothers can't 'double blind' if they are 0.0% or 0.08%.

    Your liver is fine with booze, in all but the most extreme quantities, unless you drink/use tylenol on a hangover. Water soluble vitamins protect your liver and get flushed out by booze. Take a multivitamin if/when you wake up hungover. Never use tylenol/paracetamol, even if you don't drink.

    There are do gooders that want to force producers of 'bum wine' (Maddog, Night Train etc) to include Bs, C and Ds. So we have old, healthy alcoholics walking the streets.

    Are you suggesting democracy in Saudi? If you are, you're as dumb as rock.

    Managing the middle east is all about maintaining the Sunni/Shia stalemate. Which we did a great job of during the Iran/Iraq war and which we are back to now.

    There is a difference between honest debate and debating a rock.

    They own them now, they don't know how to shoot them though.

    Checkout the Antifa gun-club video. They are shooting rifles at about 25 feet and are kicking up dust 20 feet from the target. Gonna shoot each other.

    If it 'goes to guns', the liberals will get slaughtered. They better form a plan B.

    Democrat queuing theory...No. First we investigate/imprison Hillary. We'll get to Trump after he is out of office and there's a chance of doing a real investigation.

    Any Trump investigation under his administration would be just as much a bad joke as investigations of Hillary under Obama were.

    Trump himself asked russia to locate emails from hillary clinton's servers on public broadcast television.

    After the servers were down and Hillary had stonewalled on providing the data to the FBI.

    I don't care who has the emails. They should post them for the world to read.

    In China rent doesn't come close to covering mortgage payments/property tax (hence they tend to leave 'investment units' empty). In America they are at least of the same order of magnitude to start, rent will cover the mortgage inside 10 years (for almost all purchase years).
