RE: Re[2]: myth of the great transition (was US Defense Department forma lly adopts IPv6)

[Neil Carpenter]

 in many places, the choice of broadband providers is quite poor. see
my
 earlier posting about my client for whom Ameritech DSL was the only
 affordable choice, and we just barely made it work for their
application.
 

This seems like a specious argument.  The client had chosen, as you
indicate, to scrimp on their broadband provider to save money.  You also
indicate that other providers were available.

The nature of picking any product is cost vs. benefit.  In this case,
the customer chose to favor cost and, thus, received less benefit.

Perhaps I missed it -- this has what to do with Internet engineering?

Subject: PATRIOT/USA followup: ongoing House debate


 Last night, in a highly unusual maneuver, the Speaker recessed the 
 House at 10:25 pm EDT, and didn't adjourn until 8:59 am, reconvening 
 one minute later at 9:00 am.
 
 The reason?  To file a report from the Committee on Rules at 8:58 am, 
 on how to handle the anti-terrorism bill.
 
 The House will now debate and vote on this report, even though few 
 members of the House have actually seen the report.  Even minority 
 members of the Rules committee haven't seen the report.
 
 This may rank as one of the biggest raw power grabs in US history.
