In fact, it could be a working draft precisely for people to leave it alone for the time being.
For all we know, it could have been made up by Obama detractors. Where did CDT get it? How come we can't find a copy of this document anywhere, except at CDT and the sites that link to its story?
Conspiracy theories work both ways. The purpose of the conspiracy could be to get us to overreact to nothing.
It seems as though everyone's excited about "wireless broadband", but the speedtest app on my iPhone says 416ms ping while I'm on 3G.
Speedtest.net from my PC when it is connected to my Cradlepoint WAP, which in turn is connected to Verizon's 3G EVDO network, shows me 150 ms latency all the time. Xbox360 games, EVE Online, other PC games, they all work great over my 3G service.
Not to rain on anybody's paranoia parade (OK, yes I am) but this is a [STAFF WORKING DRAFT] and has not been introduced to the Senate. It doesn't even have any sponsors. You won't find it on THOMAS, nor in the list of active legislation posted to senate.gov.
Now, while we're at it with quantitative analysis, let's see... how many atheists were actively involved in the abolitionist movement? Hmm... funny, I can't find any prominent ones...
Does the name Samuel Clemens ring a bell? What about Abraham Lincoln?
Hitler is the only Christian that occurs to me, but of course even Hitler seem to have been Christian only for the sake of its useful polemic against the Jew.
There's good evidence to support the idea that Abraham Lincoln was publically a Christian for the same polemic reasons, but privately an atheist.
Gosh, I love quantitative analysis.
In other words, you can't find one shred of evidence to support the notion - which was all I was rebutting - that Richard Dawkins is more intolerant than Christians.
...he's far more judgmental and intolerant than most Christians...
Ok, whose house did he torch? What clinic did he bomb? How many blacks has he lynched? How many books has he burned? How many TV shows has he censored? Let's make this qualitative statement of yours quantitative, shall we?
Christian-bashing is the last socially acceptable form of bigotry left to Americans, and now you want to take that away, too?
Non-Mormon Christians generally don't consider Mormons to be Christians, so to most Christians, this is not Christian-bashing anymore than Islam-bashing or Jew-bashing is Christian-bashing. Oh but wait, now that's three religions that get bashed, so I guess your "last acceptable bigotry" whine is out the window, too.
But the iPhone lacks A2DP support. You can't listen to music over a stereo bluetooth headset with it. That's incredibly lame for a wireless device designed around a music player.
And yeah, why do you feel it's important to proclaim your sexual orientation on XBox live anyway?
Straights proclaim it all the time just by talking about what they do and who they do it with, on Xbox Live, on WoW, on LOTR Online, at the 7-11 buying a Pepsi, shooting the breeze with the person sitting next to you on the bus. You don't have to even think about how you broadcast your sexual orientation, because it's so automatic.
Gays and lesbians, on the other hand, must make an effort not to broadcast our orientation, and we do it by self-censoring what we talk about. But if we slip up and mention something that implies our orientation, now we're "flaunting" our sexual orientation, even though we said something that, if it came from a straight person, would not have attracted any notice whatsoever.

What hokey port 25 authentication methods? Any authentication methods offered on port 587 can also be offered on port 25. There is nothing magical about "25" that makes strong authentication unpossible. There is nothing magical about "587" that makes it any more secure than "25." You can run a open relay just as easily on port 587 as you can run one on port 25. You can run SMTP-AUTH and TLS on port 25, and permit relaying to authenticated clients that use TLS, while non-authenticated and/or plain-text clients can only send mail destined for your own domains.
Setting aside port 587 for smtp-submit simply makes the firewall rules at the border easier to manage.

NoScript doesn't make me work hard. Most sites I surf into from a Google search result page load just fine with scripts blocked. I do browse with abandon, because I'm confident I won't be jumped from behind by a random website.

Irony can be pretty ironic sometimes. I just cross-graded to Xubuntu today, because I had finally had enough of Kubuntu's barely functional desktop. I mean, 5-7 seconds to make the equivalent of Windows' Start menu to appear? It's a wonder I stuck with it so long.
Anchor in international waters? That's 12 miles offshore. The only place it's possible to anchor 12 miles offshore of the USA is near the Florida bight. Water's only about 40 feet deep there, not that it's a particularly good idea to drop anchor in the open ocean. Everywhere else, it's way to deep for anchoring 12 miles offshore.
When did I say anything about Linux only? Firefox manages to put out versions of its product for all desktop OS, with far less resources that the Goog has. There's no apparent reason why Google is less capable than the Mozilla Foundation. What do you think is the stumbling block? I think it's because Chrome is based on some Windows-only 3rd-party libraries and Chrome is a quick hack. Care to offer another plausible explanation why the mighty Google can't sustain a product on as many platforms as a non-profit can?
Because I don't use Windows for anything serious, except personal online banking, and my bank doesn't support Chrome. So I use Firefox from work to access my bank, where I run Linux.
Chrome for Linux, if you're serious, Goog. This wanking around with Windows-only is making you look like another me-too outfit.

Your THOMAS link doesn't work. But the Rockefeller link does. This /. article is FAIL, once again. Readers do the real research on this pathetic site.

I tried the Vendetta Online linux client a year or so ago. The video was choppy, and the sound didn't work.
And it doesn't work with my pre-existing router, which is a big negative for me.
