Yipes is in over 20 markets and can give up to 1 GBit to the internet (or point to point) based on switched ethernet over fiber. They give you a 1gb feed and then throttle you to whatever bandwidth you request. The neat part is, if you have a 1mbit link normally, you can ask for 30 mbit for say 24 hours, and they will bill you accordingly.
Well, according to the RPG, the armor protects from regular guns, but Han Solo has a "really big gun" that isn't common in the Star Wars world. I seem to remember them using some other guns too, so maybe this point is moot.
I bought one of those digital grill forks for my GF's dad, and he LOVES it... I've had so much PERFECTLY cooked meat there since then. Definately worth the investment if you cook meat (grill or otherwise). Far from useless, it could save your life.

It's very informative for those (like me) who are not in the recording industry.
Actually the line item veto bill was thrown out by the supreme court.. so though it DID pass, when clinton tried to use it, it was ruled invalid and cannot be used again. it would take a constitutional amendment to change it
My letter to my congressman that I've attached below was responded to in just a few hours. I was pretty impressed. --- I'm writing to comment on "The Methamphetamine Anti-Proliferation Act" and HR 2987. I'm very concerned that this bill directly violates the first and fourth amendments. It's very important to me that neither the proliferation of new technologies nor the politicized objections to the voluntary use of any substance take precedence over the freedoms that make this country great. Please don't let anti-drug zealots trample the rights our forefathers held so dearly.
Thank you for your time. , Voter ---- Dear :
Thank you for contacting my office to express your views about H.R. 2987, "the Methamphetamine Anti-Proliferation Act of 1999." The debate and the concern over this bill is quite timely as drug use in the United States is at epidemic levels with narcotics permeating all levels of our society and new addictive substances being introduced at a rapid rate. One of the more recent additions to the nation's drug problem, responsible for claiming the lives of hundreds of Americans a year, is amphetamines.
Proven to be rapidly addictive, the demand for amphetamines has risen dramatically over the past few years--fueling a violent and dangerous drug trade, which threatens our national security. In addition, shocking new statistics have been released indicating that many young children have been found at the sites of methamphetamine labs across the country. These drugs are causing a terrible blight on our nation and placing innocent citizens at risk. This practicemust be curbed.
To combat this dilemma, several of my colleagues have introduced and supported legislation to actively pursue and stop methamphetamine dealers and creators throughout the country. The general purpose of This legislation is to create stronger penalties for those convicted of methamphetamine-related activities by requiring longer prison sentences and by mandating that the convicted reimburse the government for the expense of demolishing methamphetamine labs-a practice at which the United States incurs a tremendous debt each year. The bill also offers money for the continued research of drug addiction, abuse, and recovery.
While I agree with the goals of these recent legislative efforts, I share your concern that a small subsection in the "Methamphetamine Anti-Proliferation Act of 1999" may restrict Americans' personal liberties guaranteed under the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution. Similar to my conviction to halting the drug trade, I am likewise committed to upholding the founding principles of our nation, which grant safeguards and protection against unlawful search and seizures by the government and its agents. Currently, this bill has been referred to the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Crime and the House Commerce Committee's Subcommittee on Health and the Environment. At this time, no congressional action has taken place on this legislation and I assure you that I will carefully consider your concerns about the bill when the legislation appears for a vote.
I appreciate your letter addressing this important topic and hope that you will contact me again if I can be of further assistance.
