No kidding. They make them in India, based on the Enfield bullet. Top speed is about 50mph, acceleration is like treacle and they won't meet emissions regulations.
It's a fundamental fact that the US seems to have missed entirely. Bush just doesn't get it at all, I guess that's why he's now after Iraq, it's a real country that can be defeated by the military, I suppose it's something he can understand, nevermind that it won't have any effect on terrorist networks other than to stir them up.
He's sent in the B52s, the marines, the helicopter gunships, the fighter bombers, the cruise missiles and to give them their dues, they did blow up some $50 tents.
Like sand in the wind, they vanished. But Al Quaeda still exists, still infiltrating countries, still making plans, stockpiling weapons, pushing it's agenda, inspiring the faithful.
Terrorists work from within their target populations. They are the guy down the street. The military is the wrong tool to deal with him and you can't make war on your population.
There are plenty of tape media formats that can back up hundreds of Gb to a tape. They are simply very expensive. The reason they are expensive is that nobody backs their data up. If everyone used tape drives to backup their hard disks, the drives and media would be as cheap as floppies. As it is, only businesses back their data up so you pay business prices.
On a corporate basis, we use LTO in fairly large libraries to back up many tens of terabytes. Using disk arrays isn't acceptable, the data has to be offsite, and network bandwidth is too expensive to use offsite arrays.
If you're worried about it, take a look at Overland, they do some really nice, low cost libraries.
Looooaaads of space on the 256Mb cards I use. It can take the IBM 1Gb drives, but the battery suffers massively if you do and the USB connection is slow and also sucks loads of battery power, it's definitely worth getting a separate CF reader and using that.
Sometimes you have to re-format new CF disks when you initially get them, apparently some manuacturers don't format them properly.
Oh, the battery compartment sucks. But that's about my only complaint.
The estimates can't be anywhere near reality. I mean "weighing on the order of 100 tons". Yeah, right.
Go look at http://www.cargolifter.com/ for some info on people are actually planning to build a heavy lift airship if they cane solve their insolvency problems. That baby'll weigh around 400 tons dry.
You obviously don't know anything about any of the anti-spam systems I mentioned. Why not actually try find out about them before making yourself look any dumber than you have already.
Hey, I even included URLs that you could have followed.
Get Vipul's Razor[1], Pyzor[2] or DCC[3]. *They actually work*.
Done! Finished! No more spam!. Spammers are no more! And stop whining about bloody getting spam for Christ's sake!

Oddly enough, they're not very popular.

HTH.
And it has fuck all to do with permission to go to the moon.
So it's highly unlikely to travel through US airspace. No?
So WTF does it have to do with the US government?
"Trailblazer is expected to launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan within the next nine to 12 months. "
So, WTF does it have to do withthe US government?
Not kidding. Plus, you just add drives if you need more I/O.

Yup. Use the intelligence of hundreds of thousands of fellow spam haters across the internet.

Yes, they do work. no spammers can't get round them just by changing formatting or including random characters.

And, no. The spammers can't get round them just by including random characters or personalising the mails.

Vipul's Razor, Pyzor, DCC already take mail body randomization and customisation into account. It doesn't work.
