| Backspin: Net neutrality: how to make it happen Early last month the U.S. Department of Justice, for reasons only known to itself and its puppet masters, got involved in the net neutrality debate.

I'd love to hear your most recent findings on what is causing your DPC problems. My organization is seeing high DPC usage on our print server and it's definitely causing a degradation in performance.

Mark,
Thanks for taking the time to recognize Mr Kline's heroic and patriotic efforts. I think that your article is timely and should envoke a sense of self responsiblity from all in the IT business. Just because you can do something doesn't mean that you should. I live and work in South Carolina and the legeslature passed a law a few years back to require all IT professionals to report any evidence of illegal activites discovered in computer files. The law was written to prevent internet child pornography. I believe that there are similar laws passed in other states, maybe IT should use these laws to restore legal ethics to our lives.
