This is election year grandstanding. It won't pass the senate without the immunity provisions, just like last time.

What they will eventually pass will look much like the last bill Pelosi refused to bring up for a vote, including the telcom immunity.

Telcoms vs. EFF & Co. - Telcoms are going to win nine times out of ten. No, that's not a good thing, but that's how things seem to work out in DC.

Until there are 40-50 new senators (both D & R) things aren't going to change.

"A plan has been mapped out by city officials to increase police patrols aboard the buses. In addition, patrol cars, when available, will escort the buses through the most troubled parts of the runs."

My company has two of them. We are using them as our main file servers for 10-15 person work groups. They are great when they are working. One of them showed up with a bad disk and the other one had the SO-DIMM memory go bad after a month of use. In either case, we didn't lose any data, but it was annoying.

The Infrant forums are amazingly good and seem to be monitored by "level 3" tech support people. They solved the bad memory problem in 15 minutes.
