IO ERROR,
Nah, I was just piling on.

And yes, some people are this stupid… but not nearly as stupid as a policy that hurts everyone in an attempt to help those morons.

Mark, you must have missed the sarcasm dripping off my comment. Anyhow, the FCC announced today they’re pushing back the deadline to September 28th.

Rob:
It’s not a matter of people being stupid – it’s a matter of THE FCC[1] thinking people are stupid and need to be protected from themselves.

d had to reset a particular breaker every morning for the last few weeks, and after they replaced the bad board causing that, my phone stopped going out. Funny, that.) Is the FCC going to shut off my phone service now? ( ÃƒÂ¾ Tempus Fugit ) According to this post on blogging advice, Jon apparently didn’t think that this post wasn’t getting enough of a response.
