5/5 For pointing out how government is dominated by a bunch of old fossils making up rules about shit they don't even understand and have to have their grandkids explain to them.

The Internet should have zero regulation. Period.

if they do start regulating the internet, another country will most likely create an alternative, and then they'll have nothing. But this is more about further detatching the american people from reality and also removing they'r only source for reliable news and information about the world.

THe problem with these old fossils is that they're not being "advised" by their grand kids. They're being advised by 60 something CEOs who DO understand the internet and are pushing for rules that fuck the rest of us over.

LIke blocking p2p networking. Slowing down sites like spikedhumor so it can't compete with google video or YouTube. Slowing Myspace down so that (for example) AOL's new net working service which will "mysteriously" run faster gets all the business.

Creating "tiers" of service creates a playground of corporate collusion that no small guy could ever hope to take part of.

I got his internets, but I think he is slowing down the rest of the netpages because it took me an hour to load this page.

In all seriousness, it frightens me that these are the people "running" the country. They're going to run it right into the ground.

Most Americans are not ignorant. It is just the fucking Government who does not know shit about, well, shit. Without Cheney and Rumsfeld to hold Bush's hand, Dubya would take a shit and think it was chocolate. I mean Shit man, half the country is a bunch of Shitkickers for shit's sake. And the other half is a bunch of whiny, pussy democrats. Forgot to say shittalking as well. When McCain runs for president, he is so getting my vote because he will definitely get shit together and on the right track. Our troops will be out of Iraq and things will finally go back to normal. McCain is the man, plus he is good friends with Jon Stewart, so we all know who he is voting for.

Vote McCain. He'll get the shit back on track.

That is why we start a campaign to end this God shit. Without religion, life would be so much better. Half the world's war would end and people can truly do as they please. Of course you will still have those people who are to afraid to let go of their security blanket they call the lord, because it makes them feel better. Fucking Babies.

Uh, he actually is talking about bandwidth when he refers to the tubes guys. I couldn't laugh at this because John Stewert obviously didn't realize this and so he just looked like a jackass the entire time. The "old fart" had the right idea in his arguement though. When people are busy downloading movies etc. it clogs up the bandwidth (it doesn't effect it much though unless you're on 56k lol) and makes other services slower. New technoligies aren't really affected by it. But still this forms the basis of the net nuetrality bill. The old guy knew what he was talking about, John Stewert thought he did, but he thinks the internet is just imaginitive electronics. The tubes = wires.

Vote McCain. He'll get the shit back on track."


Post-midterm election defeats for Republicans, where the majority of voters said that the 5 year quagmire in Iraq was the deciding factor in how they voted, John McCain is currently over in Iraq with Joe Lieberman calling for an additional 40k Troops to be deployed, sharpish. He's the Neocons #1 candidate for '08, so you know what that means... and he recently licked the ring of evangelical nutball Jerry Falwell, despite what he said about him during the 2000 Primaries.

Also, without even wanting to, Jon Stewart pretty much exposed the weasal bastard during his last appearance on the show. You could clearly see the disappointment on Stewart's face when McCain started flapping around, dodging the questions. Plus, he recently in voted to legalize torture following months of campaigning against it.

No fucking way Stewart is voting for that prick. I'd bet my bollocks on it!

Ted Stevens sort of had the right idea, but it's a bad analogy. Yes the internet is kind of like tubes and can get clogged up by people streaming videos and such, but I've noticed that in all the networks that I monitor, it's not that big of a deal. If it ends up being a big deal, then develop a block to those websites. It's not hard. Ted Stevens said it took a while to send a file? How big is this file? Was it a simple text email? If so then it's not a problem of people streaming videos, it's a problem with your mail server or the mail server of the person receiving it. Even if your company is having an issue with people streaming videos, then it's not going to slow down outbound email at all because when you send an email, it's using your upload speed available instead of your download speed. When you are on the receiving end and have to download an email, then it shouldn't take a couple days either unless you are sending a massive file with it. If it's simple text, it'll still be completed quickly even if you're on a 256k connection with 5 people streaming videos. It won't take a few days.

Maybe Ted Stevens does know this, but it sure looks like he doesn't. This is pretty basic stuff too and if he doesn't know this then he shouldn't be in charge.
