  1. dead account on Bank Goofs, and Judge Orders Gmail Account Nuked · · Score: 1

    Has anyone thought that maybe this is on of a shitload of dead gmail accounts? I know that I've got a few (dozen.) I would be nice if this is the case and the bank paid a bunch of lawyers just to have it shut down.

    Well, we do get some of property tax from Bill and Paul's houses. And MS is one of the few firms that is still doing OK for employment. I'm sure that Olympia doesn't want to do a Boeing on them.

    I'm sure that MS will make up the tax by sending Olympia truckloads of Vista disks.

    As you well know, A proposal for a Washington State Income Tax means being run out of Olympia on a rail. Ain't gonna happen. No politician in WA has ever survived proposing a State income tax.

    I was wondering about that when I didn't RTFA. I live about 100-500 yards from salt water (depending on the tide) and it's a nasty liquid. I've seen the bilge pumps on some of the local fishing boats.. e-gads! Salt water is always a fight that you can never win, just hold off for a while.

    Danm, now I'm going to have to look up something I've known for 35 years. How dare you challenge my beliefs! ;)

    I think that it stems from the station being part of the EAS (http://www.fcc.gov/pshs/services/eas/) and that being part of the Homeland Security infrastructure. Much the same that if you bomb a telco, gas line, or railroad facility the feds will be on it. It's considered part of the national infrastructure.

    Let me get some coffee in me and I'll try to find links (or be proven wrong.)
