Your IP address, movements, and internet activity are already tracked and store in your dossier.

Not really. If you use firefox you can change the config files. And working for an ISP who rotates IP's every 72 hours I can tell you unless we are brought a warrant we don't do surveillance. This way will not work unless they attach an IP range to a state like Area Codes. Then they will run into a problem with VPNs.

I live on the border with Georgia, not one of those stores I shop is required to collect tax for South Carolina and it's the same for Georgia customers shopping in South Carolina. Why should internet business be required to do this?

It shouldn't be legal for a legislature in one state to impose a law on business in another state.

IMO, the Parliament of whores, (Congress), is just laying the groundwork for a federal sales tax. [ram27bat]

I've never understood how sales tax is legal. Double taxation, and all. Or property tax for that matter. They're lumped in with sin tax(tabacco, alcohol, ect), if you dare have an income, and want to buy anything, you have to pay to spend your already taxed money.
Driving is a privealage, gas tax, tabs, lisence plates, ect. Sin tax, luxury tax, understandable how they're not considered double taxation, but how is sales tax not?

That is one option I suppose.

According to Ubee/Arris they will run out of Mac address's here by 2014 if they don't start consolidating old MTAs/EMTAs

Not buying that. Waaaay too many networks out there. Now getting the rights to ride on those networks and to perform commands to see who is on them is another thing altogether.

I make the interwebs run. Been there...done that. Private, Corporate, Government, Production and Lab environments.

Think of the mac address like a home address. You're only going to have one on each street. It's known and viewable from those on the inside "behind the curtain". Some server admins can perform almost the same function using Active Directory. I love it when people think they can say whatever on the internets...with the proper access you can nail them down and post their coordinates in the same thread! Oh the fun.

Well where ubee/arris shot them self in the foot was during the acquisition. Some jackass thought they could just get by with using one mac address for EMTAs. Well when they found out they couldn't, they went ahead and started issuing mac address's from MTAs still in circulation.


Granted every location is tied to a node which is tied to a port/card which is tied to a CMTS I get this. This is how we catch/watch pedophiles.

Oh and the way to many networks comment. Not anymore with my company. The East & West cost is being transitioned to be under one infrastructure.

We are already planning on having multiple macs triggering. Cisco and Motorola are working with us though on a different switch set up.

An imaginative name for yet another plain and simple tax grab.

I still prefer online shopping though. Saves time, better selection, saves gas, and eliminates slogging through crowds.

Only thing is, now I'll be giving up even more of my money to help fund the various bloated bureaucratic programs.
