[…] Yes, this is old now, but it’s one of those classic moments in the national debate. Ted “Bridge to Nowhere” Stevens doesn’t know jack about the nature of the beast he’s trying to legislate, but he thinks he can make it up like a last minute book report on Moby Dick. I just the other day got, an internet was sent by my staff at 10 o’clock in the morning on Friday and I just got it yesterday. Why? […]

Senator Stevens Internet Forensics

I got a copy of the internet that Senator Ted Stevens’s staff sent to him, and which, as he told the full Commerce Committee as proof that net neutrality was bad, took almost five days to get to him because the internet’s pipes were so full of traffic.

I admit to a little skepticism, so I asked the Senator’s office to send me a copy of the internet via Fed-Ex (to avoid internet rush hour). After signing for it this morning, I unwrapped it and set out to test it forensically to make sure the senator was telling the truth (turns out it was just an internet letter, not an entire internet).

(For you eggheads out there, I used a command line tool called Bioforensic Unfragmenting Logistical Level Systemic Hopping Information Tracerouter, which is open-source.)

Turns out he was right.

After his staffers sent the internet letter and the letter shattered into pieces by the internal sledgehammer encased in the congressional mail server, the pieces were slingshotted into the internet’s pipe (to visual this, think of how a potato gun works and then simply reverse the process in your head).

[…] An unfortunate reminder that the people in charge of deciding net neutrality issues don’t even know the basics of what they’re talking about. Perhaps we should all send Sen. Stevens an internet and give him an idea. […]

Ted Stevens really should consider using one of those “newfangled” electronic ignition devices to keep his Internets moving in sub-zero weather. If he can’t figure how to hook up his machine, he can always call one of those Internets service experts in New Delhi–who will walk him through it, step-by-step, for the low, low price of #42.95.

I hereby propose a new rule…

If you were already a grown man or women when the first computer was built, you DON’T get to vote on any technology-based legislation!

I thought it was me. I had to start the damn thing three times. Finally decided to just read whatever it said! Hearing it makes me sick. Makes my “J D Hayworth” look sound like a mensa member.
