A handful of engineers and a stenographer cooped up in a hotel room over a weekend, designed and developed the B52. And its still going strong 50 years later.
"lawyers with cases in U.S. courts are likely to argue the international precedents should, at least, influence the thinking of American judges faced with their own cases challenging whether takedown rules are sufficient to protect sites against liability."
And if the international precedents are coming out of China or Muslim countries where some YouTube videos might get you a bullet or beheaded... that's all we need. US law should be the only influence on decisions.
That aside, how many times can the nutty article use the word 'progressive'? Can anybody define progressive? It seems to be a euphemism for 'European'.
Verizon is a coward in how it caved to the NY AG. This is just the beginning of a government controlled Internet. Unless we stand up and say 'enough!' we are going to end up with an Internet that resemble the government censored versions in Saudi Arabia or China.
"Just another example of the mind boggling inefficiency and ineffectiveness of the current American administration."
Congress is as much involved in this program as Bush. The problem is that the federal government is too big, too incompetent, too focused on self-interest, and too focused on the next election cycle.
We need a revolution that gives all power back to the states and then they decide what to give a federal entity.
The founding fathers had it right in the beginning.
It is an open secret in the State department and CIA that Richardson would have Spitzer type problems. On his many diplomatic travels as UN ambassador he would often ask Embassy personnel to provide him with female companionship.
I love it when people end their sentences with the word 'period', as if the OPINION is equivalent to Newton's laws.
This issue wreaks of unbelievability, but it is possible that deleting the emails was not intentional. I've watched seconds from disaster enough times to know that the seemingly impossible is possible.
The last I heard the FCC has exclusive authority to regulate the wireless spectrum and wireless devices. I've not heard where congress gave anyone else a slice of that authority other than the military.
There's a big difference between being asked for communications to or from an internet account or phone and being given unfettered access to all provider traffic.

After all, it not rocket surgery.

This doesn't belong on Slashdot.

Complain about the 8 hour tarmac delay? zzzzzt
On the contrary. Nuclear energy produces electricity, which will in a few decades supplant oil as the primary transportation fuel source.
Dell has already stated that they will continue to install XP if the customer requests it.

If somebody hacked into it that might give a whole new meaning to the term rootkit.

Drugs designed in stateA should be taxed by stateA regardless of where they are manufactured, bought or consummed?
"Lousy American coffee couldn't keep a hamster up at night!"
Exactly. The federal government should not be permitted to negotiate away state's rights.
No engineering student worth his weight in salt would use a pen or a TI calculator.
