From "The Webmaster Word" ... Dec 31, 69Update On Net Neutralityvia advertising-for-success.blogspot.com ![]() FCC chair Kevin Martin has gone on record to say he plans to rule that Comcast violated net neutrality principles. So, we may be certain that the FCC will issue a ruling against the cable company. Daily Online Examiner » Blog Archive » Comcast to FCC: Our Traffic Shaping Was Lawful But that doesn't mean there's no suspense left. Digital rights advocates are worried that the ruling might be too narrow to serve as a ringing endorsement of net neutrality. And Comcast is still clearly hoping that whatever order comes down has little impact on the company's practices. Comcast sent the FCC a letter, retaining the tired argument that it did nothing wrong in delaying some peer-to-peer traffic. This letter, prompted by a filing last week by net neutrality advocate Free Press,. Free Press claims that Comcast's approach for managing such congestion is unreasonable and violates the rules of net neutrailty. There might not be a "comprehensive list of standards," but the FCC has been on record since 2005 as saying that consumers should have access to applications of their choice. I agree. Do you?

Blog Your Blessing : Food for the Hungryvia advertising-for-success.blogspot.com Peace,
in the sense of the absence of war, is of little value to someone who is dying of hunger or cold. It will not remove the pain of torture inflicted on a prisoner of conscience. It does not comfort those who have lost their loved ones in floods caused by senseless deforestation in a neighboring country. Peace can only last where human rights are respected, where people are fed, and where individuals and nations are free. -- The XIVth Dalai Lama ![]() The Blue Panther Experience is host for Blog Your Blessings Sunday.

Tags: Have You Made the Change to Vista?via advertising-for-success.blogspot.com I was in a real comfort zone with Windows XP and did not want to learn a new operating system. I have used all the Windows operating systems and before that, DOS, so I know technology improves as it advances. I finally took the big step with my newest laptop and installed Windows Vista. There are some differences between Windows XP and Windows Vista that you will notice right off the bat.
Windows Vista has a feature where users access the computer but may not access critical applications and administrative functions. This feature keeps busy hands from changing your settings or deleting necessary components of the operating system. I found this feature the hardest to get used to. I kept looking for hardware profiles and such that you find in Windows XP. Windows Security Windows Vista has two firewalls, the standard firewall found on Windows XP and another one that has advanced features and filters outgoing as well as incoming data. This is helpful if you have an open port of which you are unaware and someone is listening. SummaryThere are issues with Windows Vista, such as the 32-bit system limit on memory, but most users will love the clean interface and the enhanced security features. If not, there are many articles online to tell you how to "tweak" Vista. The most important piece of advice I can give you would be to make sure you are installing Windows updates on a timely basis. ![]() Tags:
New Broadband Router and Modemvia advertising-for-success.blogspot.com I was using an old Linksys router and Westel modem linked to an old eMachine running Windows ME for managing my DSL Internet assess. It had gotten where I spent more time trying to access the Internet than I did on it! Last week, I spent five hours trying to troubleshoot my home network. I would call my telephone company who supply the DSL and the modem and they would try a few things and then tell me to call Linksys. Tags:

Calculated Conspicuous Consumptionvia advertising-for-success.blogspot.com We want to rent a car for a week over the July 4 holiday and go to the beach. We would love to drive down to the coast in a convertible. Did you know that Advantage has a new Premium Collection, which contains cars like the 2008 White Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder Convertible, 2008 Black Bentley GTC Convertible or a 2007 White Lexus SC430 Convertible? At this time, you may only rent premium cars in Las Vegas and San Diego, so keep this in mind if you are going there. They are a little rich for my budget, but would be perfect for weddings, anniversaries, Quinceañeras or any time you want to feel special. Tags:
Blog Your Blessing : Conjunto Musicvia advertising-for-success.blogspot.com Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. ~Berthold Auerbach~ While working in my garden this evening, I heard conjunto music. Then, I realized it was live music from a neighbor's home. I enjoy all types of music, so I just listened and went back to work digging Johnson Grass. I thought I heard songs that sounded familiar, but the words were in Spanish, so I was not sure. Unfortunately, I do not speak Spanish. So, I listened closely and tried to make out some of the words. It sounded like they were singing about "Dios" and "Jesus." Then the song ended and I thought I heard "Amen." My husband walked down the street a ways and came back and said it was a tent revival! The band had guitars, an accordion and drums. Every so often, the band would yell out "Hallelujah" between songs. This was a nice surprise and made me feel connected to this revival down the street. I wanted to walk down the street and join in, but I was dirty, tired, clothed in an old house dress and gardening gloves. Instead, I just sat there as the sunset went down, listening to spirit-filled singing rocking the neighborhood. Los Aleluyas Many of you living in other countries may not know exactly what conjunto or tejano music sounds like. I have included above video of Los Aleluyas, a band that plays the type of music I listened to last night. Los Aleluyas means The Hallelujahs. Conjunto and Tejano Music In the late 1800s, the Mexican population of South Texas and northern Mexico adopted the lively button accordion from German settlers and combined it with the the 12-string bass guitar to develop a new style of music known as conjunto.
