How to make a bootable Linux USB key

Speaker: Jean-Francois Messier

Understanding Net Neutrality, and "Throttling"

Speaker: Michael Richardson

Phone and cable companies have started practicing illegal search (and seizure) of data flowing across their network ("throttling"), claiming it is to protect their networks. In reality, the problems on their networks are due to mis-design, and fundamental misunderstanding on their part about how the Internet works. We used to use highway metaphors to explain the Internet. This talk will re-adjust the metaphor to explain what was actually built, and why the results are so hostile to citizens and grassroots democracy.
