Promising in some regards, but I just like many are far to cynical of politicians to hold much hope. You know my type, the kind that say the only trustworthy politician is an unemployed politician, and even then watch your wallet.
This article I read on HillNews.com seemed to make light of the 'favored' unspoken activity of politicians, but I think in all honesty that will be a stopper for any promise we could see. Of course this also dips into that fact, Tauzin is a politician, bound loosely to the Conservative views of his Political Affiliation, which in and of itself, would definatly slow progress in the technological direction, and speed it in the legal direction.
Of course this is assuming he is even made an offer. At the point of that article the MPAA had made a statement stating that no offer or even discussion had even started.
You know, I have to agree with that. Just cause you enjoy what you do doesnt mean you have to sacrifice the pay. Sadly enough, in my history of writing software it seems that the worst projects I have been on, the ones I disliked or the languages I disliked, I got paid the least for, which of course.... figures.
Well... dang, I did a little research in my area, *cough* I happen to work for a ISP in Cincinnati that sells "third Party" ADSL, from what I have noticed, you will still see the same inefficiancy and usually less helpful technical support if you go directly with the phone companies branded internet services....Otherwise....ugh... cable... in our area.. Roadrunner.. sux.. extremely, flaky nameservers and shared bandwith.. nightmares all around...

So.. like dude.. where's your references? I mean seriously, how are we supposed to follow arguments without proof?
Also, in an "intellectual" debate its usually bad form to all caps a line as if your yelling at someone.
so true...

It's a real domain, mostly my playground of errors, testing and "art".
California Strikes again! Perhaps this was an attempt by Riia to shut down more file swappers? ;)
Maintenance?? That Grid seems to have the same Maintenance philosophy that my DSL provider has, kick the users off... then there will be no problems.
Well, congradulations are in order... best of luck you two...
