Theoretically, yes... but if the state where the vehicle is registered is collecting the tax (rather than the state where the fuel is sold), there will be games played. Some state is going to have a ridiculously low mileage tax, allow mail-in self reporting when accompanied by a photo, and lax enough standards to allow everyone to have a license plate, even if the vehicle has never been within the state's borders.
There's probably some loophole that will allow me to register my car in Guam, and end up paying $27/year* for mileage tax, while driving around the CONUS without paying that $0.45+/gal tax when I fill up.
I can't think of anyone who is going to apply a blacklist that blocks everybody. Too many false-positives.
Perhaps the extortionists do rolling-listings - pick a system at random, offer them the opportunity to pay in, and if they don't take it, roll them off the list after a few weeks.
To the best of my understanding, Anonymous is not trying to say "Westboro, you're illegal, and we're calling in the party van".
Anonymous seems to be using its own right to free speech to discredit Westboro, as well as their technical capabilities to make it harder for Westboro to speak (this second part may be illegal).
It's hard for your legal free speech to be heard above the noise of 1000 people chanting something else in your vicinity.
10 seconds, actually, what with the packet overheads and the economy and all.
That assumes that your client device and the access point are the only things talking, and you can get duplex transfer (both ends talking at once - not always possible in RF), and that there's enough available upstream bandwidth (network, server, etc) when you're trying to do the transfer.
Still, you should be able to use all your transfer in under 26 minutes.
Most of the posts I see come from developers. At least in the shop I'm at, developers aren't (usually) considered IT.
Metaphor: The guys who designed a car aren't IT - they're engineering. The mechanics who do the oil changes and respond to issues ("what's that clunking noise when I turn?") are IT.
Yes, there is some crossover between departments, but (at the shop I work in ) IT is responsible for keeping the things (computers, networks, printers, telephones) working at defined agreed levels; engineering adds features and capabilities to components that can then be used by IT.
That's actually not obvious to many people not in IT.
GGP, the reason I need $100k to type stuff and click a few buttons is because the people who need the stuff typed and buttons clicked don't know which stuff needs typing and which buttons need clicking when.
My value is not my skills, but the combination of my skills and the organization's need for them.

* this is a fabricated number.
Your aversion to that particular content doesn't justify your aversion to the software.
That's almost like saying "I don't like google.com, so I'm not going to use Firefox, since it can access that website."
pintsize?
If spammers were his only source of income, he's already terminated it.
Insightful

Excellent. Internet usage should be a licensed privilege.
I think you may be on to something...
We should find out. What's your website's address?
How can he terminate his only customers?
These customers whose actions made conducting business impossible - how can he not terminate them?
Maybe it's the language barrier, but that seems like a lot of smiley faces and profanity for a professional organization.
Their revenue model seems odd as well - it's almost like they're set up just to extract money from senders.
My instinct is don't pay them, figure out why you got listed, and stop whatever triggered the listing.
If the customers are complaining excessively, consider the unblock fee - once. Definitely terminate the accounts of the spammers.
Any word on the purpose of the lime green accents?
The point of having a dockable suit is that you can avoid the airlock. Airlocks do lose breathing air with every cycle.
Yeah, but a mud room means less patching of holes in the suits, while still being able to do pressure tests.

Right.
You need to bribe the table, not the dealer. The table can see everything, but is frustratingly tight-lipped.
But aside from that, what have the Romans done for us?
Aren't there more like 250 trading days per year?
You know, there's like 50 weeks in a year (after vacation), and 5 business days a week...
Them as has, gets.

Everyone on this site is in IT
Really?

Your shop may be different.

I'd fucking KILL to get their wages.
Hell, if I got HALF that, it'd be a massive raise!
So invest a few evenings in getting a cert or two. The guys on desktop support are making about half that.
Self improvement requires less dry cleaning than homicide. (Sometimes.)
It shortened the war by years, sparing millions of lives at the cost of hundreds of thousands of lives.
Also, there is a difference between honoring something like this and remembering something like this.
Go to Dachau, take the tour - the difference between honoring and remembering becomes obvious.
main() { ten: printf("%c", (rand()%2)?47:92); goto ten; }
The preprocessor include directive is on a separate line, but that's really not part of the program.
This is not a proof, it's a demonstration.
