(OMG. James, if you're New Orleans you should know all about Bush appointments that have resulted in catastrophy at the direct cost of American lives. Open your eyes.)

James:
You're entitled to your opinion but at least apply a modicum of reason.
You ignore the numurous infractions of the adminstration against your freedoms and liberties or the cronyism of your man-child president and you extrapolate that most of the Democratic leadership is stupid from the ruminations of a single news article.

Telecom can shape all traffic. I have not claimed that they are shaping all traffic merely that their terms and conditions for Go Large include p2p shaping.
Cheers - that's good to know. (Wasn't saying that you said that, just wanted to know). :D. Doesn't anyone know if Orcon's all you can eat plan (I forget the name) imposes similar resitrictions?

Sorry, can I get some clarification - can (and is) Telecom shaping all internet traffic that moves through it's network, or are we talking specifically about Xtra customers?

Hey Simon, love your work!
Of course, this is just an extension of all the other traffic shaping and management techniques that have been throttling us back for years - except that now Telecom is taking a directly anti-competitive approach to Skype.
I used Skype for the first time yesterday to Video chat with my sister in China. The call quality was better than a number land-line call, and for free - and I'm an iHug user.
Now that there are more options I'm inclined to say the Telecom is welcome to impose whatever restrictions they like on their users, as long as the users are educated on how that will affect them.
If a customer decideds they will not use Skype then it might make sense for them to choose Xtra. But I don't think that Xtra has made enough of an effort to make those consequences clear.

Gmail.... You'll never look back! It's lightening quick, packed full of features, and you really don't ever have to delete anything. Plus, it's Google - they're never going to lose your emails. :D

don't feel the trolls no matter how great the provocation
Hooray for moderated forums.
Things are getting out of hand on DPF.. David himself is always pretty good - but some of the comments are getting outlandish.
It's just not cricket.

The DCCC were also encouraging people to video the voting process and post irregularities on YouTube.

Although as someone mentioned in this thread on, like, page 2, a recount might not be in the Republicans interest considering the FBI has taken an interest in some of the election day happenings.

If the margin is within 1% then a candidate can ask for a re-count, otherwise evidence has to be submitted to a judge who has to be convinced there is a good reason for it.
