"If you remember back on December 18th we raised the warning flag concerning a DSL provider known as DSLMonster.com, who's business stank of illegitimacy. With a website made up of plagiarized portions of other providers terms of service, and a qualification system that claimed it could provide service to locations like "the dark side of the moon", it appeared to be a scam waiting to happen." Not only a well written piece but lots o' backgroud too!"

    NJ cant release the photo because they dont have it! NJ DL's use an instant photo that doesnt get stored in a database. It's even possible in NJ to have non-photo DL's (as long as you've had a photo DL previously).
