The most idiotic analysis of net neutrality you’ll ever want to read has been prepared by obscure consultancy Ramp^Rate:
With the permanent barriers that the removal of net neutrality will erect for [gamers], the worst-case scenario includes three waves of change:
* One or more mainstream ISPs will introduce excessive lag that will [...]
I have a hard time taking Nancy Pelosi seriously as a political leader. Granted, she’s the offspring of the powerful Maryland political machine headed by her former Congressman father, she’s connected to the Burton-Brown machine in Frisco, and a protege of the corrupt and influential Jack Murtha, but she’s dim.

This should shut the creationists up for good:

Nick Denton’s weakest blog, Valleywag, relaunched today with major changes:
Some changes, today, on Valleywag, in design, personnel, and mission. Obviously, there’s a new design. Nick Douglas, editor since launch earlier this year, is leaving. And we’re going to change the mix of stories, slightly.
It’s probably a step closer to relevance, but still has a long [...]
She’s not officially Speaker yet, but Nancy Pelosi has already screwed-up big time by supporting corrupt peacenik John Murtha for House majority leader:
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), in line to become Speaker in January, is throwing her support to Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) in the race for Majority Leader, a move that will be an early [...]
