I lived there for nine years, taking care of an increasingly Alzheimer's afflicted mother, until the nursing home by the Rutland hospital was the only recourse.
The guy that should be living there now, Ray Blanchard, is a convicted sex offender, so try not to get anywhere near him. He's a sleazy little shit. Sold my mother a roach infested house with a collapsing foundation.

Just a general comment, but cloning extinct predators and releasing them into the wild is never a good idea.
Zod,
You sure do jump when we say how high.
Yeah, my religion is strange. 
The flaw in your argument on net neutrality is in the wishful thinking of how access to tiers of service will be sold and what interest the carriers have in content control. In particular, you write
-
Anytime a provider has done bad things, such as blocking VoIP phone calls from a competitor, the FCC slapped them down with current regulations. That won't change.
--
But that's assuming the conclusion. Without net neutrality, what stops AT&T from signing a preferred provider contract with Murdoch? What prevents them from making the fee to offer e.g. crooks and liars level service too high to make commercial sense. The reason we have common carrier regulation of phone service is to prevent carriers from using the monopoly control of the last mile wire s to control commerce on the lines. The market does not assure competition without such regulation.

Rutland is also the home of Edgewood Productions, who made all those awful disaster films where a small town named "Rutland" would get destroyed by meteors or landslides, or, my favorite, when the dam burst and flooded the city.
The last movie that Anna Nicole Smith made was filmed there, as well.

You want to know why it is a bad idea to build wiretapping into internet and telecom equipment?
Check out this long article about Rogue Wiretapping: The Athens Affair
Koronias told them that rogue software used the lawful wiretapping mechanisms of Vodafone's digital switches to tap about 100 phones and handed over a list of bugged numbers. Besides the prime minister and his wife, phones belonging to the ministers of national defense, foreign affairs, and justice, the mayor of Athens, and the Greek European Union commissioner were all compromised. Others belonged to members of civil rights organizations, peace activists, and antiglobalization groups; senior staff at the ministries of National Defense, Public Order, Merchant Marine, and Foreign Affairs; the New Democracy ruling party; the Hellenic Navy general staff; and a Greek-American employee at the United States Embassy in Athens.

sorry pud. you need to go.
But that's assuming the conclusion.
No, I'm not. I'm assuming that existing regulation will prevent the bad things that the Sky Is Falling crowd says are "guaranteed" to happen.
Without net neutrality, what stops AT&T from signing a preferred provider contract with Murdoch? What prevents them from making the fee to offer e.g. crooks and liars level service too high to make commercial sense.
Before I answer, you need to clarify what your term "preferred provider" means, and clarify the Crooks and Liars example. Because right now the way you describe them, neither of those has any bearing on NN.
The reason we have common carrier regulation of phone service is to prevent carriers from using the monopoly control of the last mile wire s to control commerce on the lines.
This isn't about the last mile. This is about transport within the network.
The market does not assure competition without such regulation.
Such regulation already exists.
Bottom line: people are scared of "discrimination" because Google, et al, have used a word that is not used in a technical sense, but can have a specific technical meaning, and they don't want to pay for a higher level of service. To provide QoS, "discrimination," or rather categorization, is necessary if you're going to run multiple applications with different network requirements over a common infrastructure.

-----
Where? As I understand it the FCC has ruled that internet connectivity is not subject to common carrier regulations.
Your toll road example is good. The reason we don't have toll roads deciding that United Van Lines gets on faster, runs faster, and pays lower weight is because of a common carrier law that derive from the railroad regulations put in to stop Rockefeller from such practices.
So what's the regulatory, and better, unwaivable legal, basis which assures such carrier content neutrality?
so I don't begrudge her religion.
I don't begrudge anyone their religion. Prey to anything you like. Just don't bug me about it.

wow, what's Zod doing in this flick?
Isn't net neutrality a moot debate, because the congress has already said they were going to do nothing about it? Or was it the FCC?
Congress has shot down every amendment that tries to deny providers the right to charge for higher levels of service. The FCC and the FTC have determined that they already have the authority to prevent providers from blocking or degrading content/apps.
So yes, it is moot in a sense. Yet people keep screaming about "saving the Internet" as though it's going to collapse on Tuesday. It ain't. Not from a technical, regulatory or economic POV, despite what Google says.

Hecate - they really only hurt for about the first 30 minutes - hour after being stung. But then they form pustules, which I am given to understand are ok so long as you don't scratch them open and get them infected. Since they don't itch, this isn't a problem. But they are ugly as hell and supposedly take several weeks to go away.

So the answer is: "up to the discretion of the FCC"?
But, in fact, the FCC continues to declare that information service is not subject to common carrier regulations. So, unless you have warm fuzzies about the likes of Martin deciding what is fair and balanced and what is not, you have a lot of room for skepticism.

Another way Bush resembles a chimp (from article on new chimp sub-culture):
Prof Groves believes that the Bili apes should prompt a radical rethink of the family tree of chimp sub-species. He has proposed that primatologists should now recognise five different sub-divisions instead of the current four.
Mr Hicks said the animals also have what he calls a "smashing culture" - a blunt but effective way of solving problems. He has found hundreds of snails and hard-shelled fruits smashed for food, seen chimps carrying termite mounds to rocks to break them open and also found a turtle that was almost certainly smashed apart by chimps.

Sorry, gentlemen.
So the answer is: "up to the discretion of the FCC"?
It's always been that way, yet the Internet has astonishingly worked very well.
But, in fact, the FCC continues to declare that information service is not subject to common carrier regulations. So, unless you have warm fuzzies about the likes of Martin deciding what is fair and balanced and what is not, you have a lot of room for skepticism.
Yet ISPs have been treated as common carriers when it comes to liability for content since Day One. It's not going to suddenly change just because carriers now want to add a new, optional, value-added service and charge for it.
As I noted at my telecom blog, I'm fine with legislation that explicitly codifies something along the lines of common carrier regs, so long as it doesn't limit the providers' right to charge for such services so they can recoup investment in the necessary infrastructure. It's redundant from where I sit, but not offensive.
The problem is that people think that categorizing traffic is inherently dangerous, and charging CONTENT PROVIDERS is somehow a sin. That's bullshit on many levels.
You can always be concerned when corporations are involved--they are not, as Adam Smith noted, not operating with society's best interests in mind. But the hyperbole around NN is fucking ignorant and ridiculous.

The other place in Rutland that has great meaning for me is this little discount grocery store in the Howe Center.
I called it the "Scratch and Dent Store", as they sold damaged goods, like dented cans, cereal in ripped boxes (inner bags intact!) torn and duct taped 20 pound bags of dog food, ect. As well as undamaged items as well. Meats, ice cream, milk, etc.
It was a bit a walk, particularly in the winter, but it kept me and the dog alive as I plotted and schemed to get out of Rutland after my mother went to the nursing home.
I have a soft spot in my heart for the old Scratch and Dent!

Past performance is no assurance of future returns. In fact, the carriers, both wired and wireless, are eyeing the money to be made by controlling content like one eyed cats in seafood stores. And they are grimly determined not to be sellers of bandwidth - which is exactly what they should be required to remain.
It would be irresponsible for management of carriers to NOT attempt to control content, thus depriving shareholders of a massive new value. To argue that the good intentions and dubious reasoning of the FCC should be the only assurance of content neutrality is to jump into the same trap that let the TV and radio guys abolish the fairness doctrine.
Don't you have bunions to massage?

Yeah, though if he waits a few months the price will come down.
I'm waiting until it's available for other carriers- I will not switch to AT&T.
I wasn't aware that Google got to connect their stuff to the internet for free. Being a "naive techie" I assumed they pay some sort of access fee like every other user of the internet.
My server on the internet gets X amount of bandwidth per second, for a fee. Many more people pay for amount of gigabytes transferred per month. The telecom lobby wants us to believe Google isn't subject to the same kind of pricing. And the "tiered" internet that telecoms envision would allow Verizon to lower the priority of Google traffic because they cut some deal with Yahoo.
So I say bite the invisible hand of the market, that's a horseshit future.

Sorry, I was expresing what happens if they are NOT common carriers. Common carriers are not responsible for content. Carriers that aren't common carriers legally *are* responsible for content.
Ah, gotcha. No worries. I thought that originally, but the async nature of these threads made me change my mind.
I would think that the carriers would be holding onto common carrier status with all four paws for dear life.
They would indeed. Prolly why they don't want the FCC/FTC posture to change: regarding content they are pretty much considered common carriers, but otherwise regulated as info services. This is also why they want to make a distinction--reasonable technically--between 'categorization' of traffic and actual examination and filtering of content itself.
People don't understand that customers will tag their data with a certain ID indicating how it should be treated by the network, but the network doesn't actually look at the data itself. Thus folks think AT&T is going to somehow block Eschaton because it says naughty things. That's why I went to great pains to explain QoS at least on a basic level, but it's still beyond what most people have experienced given that a converged network is so new and different from the PSTN and traditional data networks.

No, they want you to understand that they are deploying a network that can provide priority to packets through routers so they deliver a higher quality experience to Google's customers should they want to pay for a premium level of service.
And the "tiered" internet that telecoms envision would allow Verizon to lower the priority of Google traffic because they cut some deal with Yahoo.
Not quite. Could you please read my post I linked to so you can understand QoS? TIA.
Prolly why they don't want the FCC/FTC posture to change: regarding content they are pretty much considered common carriers, but otherwise regulated as info services.
yeah, my point was if they are not "blind" as to the identity (rather than technical issues) of the source then they aren't common carriers.

Academic science is fairly split. I keep adding PCs to the lab I run because most of our incoming students (esp. international) are Windows.
Speaking of Macs and PCs, I have several on-going gigs where design companies call me in after they've designed a very lovely identity campaign for a corporate client and suddenly realize said client wants all the documents to be available on a PC in Word or Powerpoint formats.
Of course, not only are all the templates they've put together in Photoshop or Illustrator, they're all done on the Mac, using fonts no normal PC would have.
I would suggest cleaning it up real nice and leave it on the side of the street. Someone will walk away thinking they got something cool. (I love people who scavenge the old stuff and then figure out just what they got)
You should know that there is a market for used computer parts. They won't pay you for the stuff. But they will take it and do something that is better than letting the thing reach the dump.

I understand it just fine, thank you very much. And I take issue with your flawed argument. You seem to ignore how business works, there will be temptations to degrade service because of business deals that have nothing to do with the technical infrastructure. That is the issue. It won't be "looking at the blog packets" but deciding traffic from IP address range X is worth less than from address range Y.
This net neutrality fight is like the NAFTA issue. Allowing tiering sounds good because it will improve the technical aspects, but putting it into practice will fuck everyone over because of the way businesses work. They will always look for ways to make money and edge out competitors.

You assume that someone does not understand QOS, when what they really are doing is not agreeing with your analysis of the business strategies of the carriers. This situation is very analogous to the railroads pre ICC. If the carriers can ally with certain customers, the commercial logic to do so is a no brainer.
Zod is annieangel is Allen Butler. The writing patterns are the same and the obsession for Ntodd never ceases.
I was here one night when Draco said he switched to Zod and another nym I can't remember when he was feeling depressed.
Depressed is one thing, but the guy is just an asshole. Regulars and lurker agree, there's no reason to be a dick to a group of people just because they won't collectively be your BFF.
You are assuming that traffic will be categorized solely on a sane and fair basis
That's how the technology works. If a content provider (meaning not Jane Hamsher, but Google or YouTube) wants to classify their traffic as Expedited Forwarding, it gets put into a different router queue than Best Effort or Assured Forwarding classed traffic. Based on what THE CUSTOMER decides, not the network. The network merely delivers that traffic over a path that will meet its QoS requirements.
that is, Jane Hamsher wants to offer people high quality call in lines for comments to Firedoglake and she is automatically offered exactly the same per-packet rate that Fox gets.
1) It's not per packet.
2) Best effort will still be available for free. Just like it is now in the Internet.
There is no reason to believe that such a situation will come to pass unless there is strict, codified in law, regulation to impose it.
The FCC already regulates such things.
And as I said, I'm fine with explicit codification so long as it does not prevent providers from charging for new, tiered services.

Just one day after the Iraqi government received failing marks in President Bush's surge interim progress report, Americans learned that the Iraqi parliament is proceeding with its plans to take off the month of August. But while the American people may be up in arms, President Bush's amen corner is predictably silent.

I do remember a period of time when despite the move to MS Word, there was a frequent number of issues coming up with various regulatory agencies etc being standardized on Word Perfect.

Excuse me, but that is not how the technology works at all. The technology permits the carrier to count and categorize bandwidth per user - that is how they know how much to bill Google or YouTube or Ms. Hamsher. There is nothing in the technology that prevents the carrier from charging a hefty "setup fee" to allow any high priority packet to originate from or go to your site. There is nothing in the technology that prevents the carrier from deciding that SkyNews video on demand service is the only packet service tha t will go into the highest class of service - even if Ms. Hamsher offers to pay at the same rate
The obvious analogy is network advertising. Viagra yes. Condoms no. Unitarian anti-bigotry ads no, Swift boat liars yes. The technology doesn't give a damn about which ads go on the air, but the corporations do and will.

Yes, it is. Customers will assign the appropriate DSCP and the network will then put the data in an appropriate queue and determine which path will meet the needs.
The technology permits the carrier to count and categorize bandwidth per user - that is how they know how much to bill Google or YouTube or Ms. Hamsher.
That technology exists today. Routers have as one function the ability to count packets. QoS and tiering doesn't change that.
There is nothing in the technology that prevents the carrier from charging a hefty "setup fee" to allow any high priority packet to originate from or go to your site.
Nope, that's where existing regulations come into play.
The technology doesn't give a damn about which ads go on the air, but the corporations do and will.
Indeed, just as Vietnam and China can filter things coming into their countries (and that noble Google complies with their requirements). I only start with the technology so people understand that categorization isn't inherently evil, nor is charging for it. And then I go into the current regulatory regime, as well as the economics.
But go ahead and ignore all that and "assume" that I base my argument solely on understanding how QoS works.

For my post doc grant, I drove it to the address at NIH. I walked into this room with tables piled maybe five feet high with grants.

It's what Tim Berners-Lee and other folks support as a concept.

Sadly, none of the proposed legislation stops here, so I'm glad that Congress has as a whole agreed with me, the FCC and FTC.

There is no status quo.
Yes, there is. The FCC already stomps on providers who block/degrade service.
Controversy boiled up after a 2002 FCC decision that operators could control DSL content which appeared to change the rules of the game
Which decision? If it's what I think, it's another misinterpretation/misrepresentation.
another FCC statement on content neutrality appeared in 2005.
No, it was a public inquiry, not a statement. And after that, they determined they had the power to enforce existing regs in this context.
There is open warfare to control what happens next.
Yes, between content providers such as Google and the owners of the networks. Hmm...

President George W. Bush on Thursday acknowledged publicly for the first time that someone in his administration likely leaked the name of a CIA operative, although he also said he hopes the controversy over his decision to spare prison for a former White House aide has “run its course.”

True story: IBM did a market analysis and decided that Xerox had a failed product because carbon paper was so cheap and did a good enough job copying. So they blew Xerox off, forcing Xerox to lease machines themselves to customers.
Another true story: Thomas J Watson, Sr once famously declared that we'd only need about 6 computers in the entire world. Of course he was afraid that these new tabulating machines would cut into his card reader business. Once he saw that computers were a valuable business product, IBM changed tack and made them the cornerstone of a new strategy...with card readers as the I/O devices. Once customers had computers incorporated into their business processes, then Watson could wean them from card readers to other forms of I/O.

One of my junior high science teachers built a Heathkit computer (this was around 1979 or so). The electronics were not very well grounded. He had to put it in its own room and you had to touch a metal chair before using it or else it kept getting fried. I remember playing that Star trek Game where each turn it displayed an ASCII grid and you would watch your photon torpedo go from the Enterprise (E) to the Klingon ship (K) for several turns before you found out whether it hit.

Speaking at the site the destruction of mountains of records, lampshades and paraphenalia from the recently settled war, Reichskanzler Rommel said today that he had discovered an enormous system of purges comparable to the Soviet gulag system, but worse in its reliance on slave labor, eugenics and mass murder. "I have made my peace between myself and the Creator, asked for his forgiveness and now regard the matter as closed. And now we're going to move on."

"If your going to do a Gettysburg Address make sure your printer prints on envelopes."
That reminds me. Had two folks come in with some really old, tractor fed labels. They were marking them by hand with sharpies, maybe had two hundred left. They asked me if I could get a printer that would use those labels.
After myself, one of my techs and a sale director finished laughing, we introduced them to the concept of laser fed labels.

Ah, there was a third. Can't recall the name, but it was essentially a version of Rogue. Played that fucking thing on the school's machine every chance I got. Also figured out a cheat to increase the value of pots of gold: you could walk into the middle of a wall, wait a period of time, and that would increase the gold points directly in relation to how long you hung out. So I had a highscore of 9 billion that was never matched.

"built back when harddrive crashes were literal crashes"
I was fortunate on that system (I believe it was a DP 660 or 6600). It was a data entry tool (Happy now gully?) for me. The wife on the other hand ended up supporting the whole shebang later on. The main system with drive pack was constantly dying. The platter was pretty expensive.

Well, I didn't find APL inelegant
It was my impression that it perhaps was too elegant. You could do very complicated tasks with a tiny amount of code. But then you were left with heiroglyphics that were difficult to debug or figure out if you had put the program away for a while. I never used it, but a colleague of mine did, for calculations that required a lot vectors and matrices.
I've been looking for a new camera for a very long time, and my conclusion is that the cannons have the least noisy sensors.

I wonder what kind of daily douching the msm takes to take the stink of ass-kissing off before they go home to their famillies?
I like Feta.
I gots eight pickups of ram on my shmerkins. My flounder flops bi-coastal and my softdrive abides.
Top that, people who don't give a fuck.
Who do you think was the best heavyweight boxer of all time? I think Ali would have beaten the crap out of Mike Tyson, while both in their prime.

Ginger, or Mary Ann?
I just got Noise Ninja yesterday, it's doing magic on some of my high-ISO noisy photos.
There are lots of things you can do to remove noise from a picture and sometime regardless of what you are using this is what you have to do.
The less manipulation of a picture you have to do the better. There always is some sort of artifact from that kind of processing.
My best pictures, with my old fuji are shot at the slowest sensor speed, on a tripod. No noise, but that kind of setup is not always possible.
OK, so pop culture movies are more important than saving our nation from tyranny by following up on the momentum generated by Bill Moyers piece on impeachment.
Well, no. But I can't impeach chimpy this weekend.

True enough. I try to get it right with the camera, like a film photographer. But sometimes you shoot what you can.
I'll take Joe Frazier's hat!

lipreader sometimes I just need to decompress.
Tyson was in the same league with Ali, as Goose Gossage was in the same league as Walter Johnson.

I'm not convinced of that. Tyson had some blazing fists in his pre-cannibal days. Ali was spectacular in his era, no doubt.
I hate comparing sports eras almost as much as I hate discussing "best" movies.
Well, no. But I can't impeach chimpy this weekend.

Oh hell, I know that. Alcohol and pissed offedness with a heavy dose of snarkiness just comes out wrong, don't it?
Still, we've got this fucker dead to rights. We need to get Congress to pull the fucking trigger!

Given that it's Saturday night and Congress ain't working tomorrow...yes.
Marciano, bitches.

Not much good for action.
In "Freaky Friday", this Chinese Woman walked past the camera and they played the sound of a gong.
Heh
Ginger, or Mary Ann?
lipreader, who ♥ Al Gore
Ginger!
Tyson couldn't make the Olymic team. He can't fight in close, he's a chump.
we've got this fucker dead to rights. We need to get Congress to pull the fucking trigger!
Mebbe we could get Congress to end the war. How about a vigil tomorrow?

I'm with ya there. But not hopeful.
What I'd like to see them do first is impeach Gonzales.

Well, not for crisp action shots. But if you want blur and motion...
I'd impeach Condi.

Vigils are rather passive for these times.

Did you like it?
Do a youtube vigil, everyone send in a youtube on the same theme at the same time.

Oh, hell yeah! For ugliness unbecoming an 'Merkin.
Vigils are rather passive for these times.
On a Sunday? Not at all.
Regardless, perhaps you could look at some of the more aggressive actions we've been talking about...?
The best sound ever heard at at Tyson fight:
HOLYFIELD!! HOLYFIELD!!! HOLYFIELD!!!
Nah. We should play "Dunk the Troll's Head in the Toilet"
Oh, hell yeah! For ugliness unbecoming an 'Merkin.

For credibility tooth gap
Shut the fuck up, annie.
Why am I hearing "Close to Me" by The Cure for the first time right now?
The a.m. signal I got growing up in that Arkansas trailer must not have carried to Memphis.
Speaking of diapers, has anybody heard from Vitter?

All that hate makes the baby jeebus cry.

BTW, it was Roger McGuinn's birthday yesterday...
Ug, Allie. I hated that movie!!
You liked that?

George Foreman would have mugged Tyson. Ali took a beating from Foreman, and still was the last to leave the ring.
Ginger, or Mary Ann?
Howzabout Ginger AND Mary Ann? And I watch from the coconut tree...
The tape I saw of Osama wasn't translated.
It just has him going humina humina.

Yeah, but with Dumbya at 26% and Republican internals fading and the British terra terra terra IMMIGRANT doktors not goosing the numbers or the bad news from Iraq, you knew a tape would have to surface soon.

That's the key, anyway.
Just a quick hello and goodnight. I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. Normal posting to resume, hopefully, tomorrow. Goodnight, True Patriots (and not the football team.)

I'll never know. I could not get past that guy fishing through the shit for his dope. Only movie I've ever quit.

HOW MANY FUCKING TIMES DO I NEED TO TELL YOU PEOPLE THAT RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK AND CASABLANCA ARE THE BEST GODDAMNED MOVIES EVER?!?!?!?! UNCLEFUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tyson wasn't a boxer - just a puncher - Ali would've skinned his hide - Tyson said as much himself in an interview years ago - Ali or Jack Johnson?
I would have thought annieangel's favorite was "The Crying Game."
You liked that?
annieangel
Skinny Ewan and pretty Sick Boy were yummy.

The Godfather! Now I'm really leaving.

I'll go along with Casablanca, but Raiders? OMFG.
...and you fucked your uncle yesterday.
Here's an intersting fact:
Total number of words spoken by Clarence Thomas during Supreme Court oral arguments since Feb 2006: 132
Second fewest total number of words spoken by a justice (Alito) since then: 14.4K.
(from this months Harper's Index)
Number of words written by on about NTodd just on this thread: 72.9K

Can I put in a plug for Start the Revolution Without Me as most overlooked comedy of the early 70s?
Thanks...
Skinny men are no fun. Casablanca is boring. Raiders is alright.
But Boogie Nights is better. Marky Mark is in it.

Right after "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World" and "The Party"
I hate comparing sports eras almost as much as I hate discussing "best" movies.
NTodd, Future Canadian Perv
Yeah, but it's fun to do anyway. Especially with single combat boxing.
I just wanted to share the penultimate comment by that guy to whom I referred earlier...
You underestimate and misread Moore. He does very much believe in the power of his own voice. And, given the fact that he is filthy rich, it is entirely possible that he covets control of America as his own personal kingdom, and that he is using his films to foment enough discontent to create the conditions necessary for his seizure of power.
I'm smelling a little paranoia here.

Good one. Very entertaining.

I saw the movie with a friend who had seen the film before and when that scene happened I looked into my lap and asked him why he thought it was worth me seeing - he smiled and said "It's got it's redeeming qualities." and he pointed to the screen which I looked up at expecting the worst but our man fishing for his drugs was now completely submerged and looking for his stash - a fun bit of filmmaking - the shit the bed scene is pretty disgusting but funny too
"2001" best film ever!

Calm down, NTodd. Monsieur's not arguing with you
"BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki shrugged off U.S. doubts of his government's military and political progress Saturday, saying Iraqi forces are capable and American troops can leave "anytime they want.""
Ooookay then. Thanks for all the fish and we will be leaving then.
I love movies where someone gets a moist cloth placed on the face.
