As it stands now doesnt it still target talk radio? Whether or not you agree with the Rush and Hannitty's of the world, considering them under this bill is still a first amendment violation.
I dont see why sun is whining. They wanted MS to yank the JVM and they did. If they wanted MS to distribute the Sun JVM why didnt they push for that in the settlement?
MS is anticompetitive in many ways and should be punished but this is really ridiculous. They are adhering to the settlement that sun pushed for!

I worked for a reinsurance brokerige on the 50th floor 2WTC. Until last decemeber I worked on 94 1WTC. My company and its parent company occupy floors 50-54 in 2 wtc and 94-99 in 1 wtc.
Yesterday started as any other day until about 845 when we heard what sounded like a gust of wind hitting the window. My cube faces the harbor (south side of 2wtc).
Suddenly the sky was filled with paper, then flaming paper and other...things.
Grabbing the notebook me and 3 of the folks who work with me start heading down the fire stairs.
The stairs were virtually deserted maybe 20-25 people nervously walking down.
About the time we hit the 20th floor or so, the PA annouced that a plane had hit 1 wtc and please return to our desks and remain calm.
Well we were more the 1/2 way down so we decided to keep going and take a look from outside. Passing the lobby windows we saw debris strewn about and paper still flying but stil could not really see what was what. We were directed into the mall area towards the path trains and we had almost reached them when the second plane hit.
It sounded like a crack of thunder and we could tell a whole pile of stuff was hitting the courtyard above our head. People started screaming and broke into a run. Eventually we were funnelled into the E train platform and out of the chambers street subway entrance.
One woman was screaming she had seen people falling by the window.
Above ground and looking back we saw 2 firery slashes through the buildings and a ton of smoke.
No one knew what happened at that point. Then I found out that our building had been hit.
The chaos and fear that surrounded me that day was indescribable.
I called in last night to discuss the aftermath. It seems that all of our brethren who had reported to work in 1 wtc are missing. 1200 people in all.
Now we meet by phone and try to pick up the pieces. Both my companies and my parent companies data centers are gone. Our DR plans are ramping up. Who would have ever thought that we would need our DR for an occurance like this.

Does anyone know of a commercial source for the first hitchikers radio series? I tried ordering it through the BBC and they wont ship to the states.
Thanks
