Cost of entry into the market is kind of high, If the local government is not creating an outright monopoly, then you still have to lay wire/fiber/wifi out to the customer's door.
It's like they talked about on that movie, on COPS (tv show) they'll have 3 cops chasing a guy down the street and beat him to the ground because he just stole $85. But some corporate criminal that steals $85,000,000.00 and well they treat him with kid gloves.
I am guessing the cops did not have to chase the $85,000,000.00 criminal down the street. And when that criminal is arrested he goes quietly.
"Do it with a computer", and you have given those fourteen tracks to some large number of other people, they are guessing this is worth something like 525 CDs...
Isn't this guy in trouble for putting the track up on the network, not downloading them?
Could TomTom have a non fat file system and retain the "see it from the OS" if there were a windows driver for the file system they used? Can one install foreign file systems in windows?
Could one for instance install a drive for ext3 in windows? Or ReiserFS (to Kill the suit.)
If it were minute by minute throttling. for a given price the ISP and I decide on a number of Kb per minute. I get and send bytes in each minute until the limit is met, then my connection stops but only until the beginning of the next minute. At any time I can go to my ISP's Website and change my setting - paying more so I get a larger number of Kb per minute. Plans should start at $9.00 a month with a number of Kb equivalent to a fast dialup connection.
Start up a bunch of give away programs when the state has income. When the state looses income don't stop the give away program, no, tax everyone to the tune of a new 14.4 BILLION and think of new ways to give it away.
1) if it is not a parking ticket - Ignore it. I don't do business with that sort of business.
2) if it is a parking ticket. Don't go to the site, go to the most logical traffic court - take a day off from work. If it's real you can pay your fine or whatever. If it's not - hey at least you get a day off from work.
I suppose there is one thing though. Preventing everyone from bringing on weapon-like objects disarms the terrorist to the point where they have to resort to silly match lit shoe bombs (and now we all have to submit to shoe inspection.. "No fuse - your fine, move on")
Meanwhile we all keep our fists and our brains and there many of us to few of them.
In a windows machine, you can be setup as only a limited user. You might be able to download the installer, but if you try to run it you will get asked for the supervisor password.
No password, no install (not everyone is the administrator, especially at school or at work)
But even on a locked down machine you might still be able to use a thumb drive with something like U3 software and get firefox that way.
I have an unlisted number.. I still get the calls 2-3 a day, usually the guy who want to sell me a car warranty (my car's warranty has been finished for at least two years now)

It is probably to "get you on record" with the correct answer.. so they can use it against you later if need be.

Disrespect != Assault
Even if the assault is a wimpy overhand toss of footwear.
Steal a CD, well you have your own CD.

The Bill of Rights only affects the government, not citizens like doctors. So no the Doctor is not taking away your first amendment rights.
Try Crossing out that portion of the paper, or just don't sign it. And perhaps try getting another doctor.

Ayn Rand was a founding father?
CA is getting a load of new taxes too.

Oh goodie! The old "If your not doing anything wrong what have you got to hide argument"
Easy..
1) if it is not a parking ticket - Ignore it. I don't do business with that sort of business.

Doc Brown says:
"JIGAvolt it's JIGAvolt!"
"Feature-incomplete" and "full of bloat"? Is that not like dividing by zero?
Caller ID FTW
I never answer if I don't regcognise the number.
On my cell phone if they are not in my phone's dial list (so the name shows when they ring). No answer.

They use random dialers..
You have to identify the caller, Inform them that your number is on the do not call list.
Usually the first whiff they get that you are going to do that they hang up.. ask for their supervisor, they hang up. Say "I am on" click - gone
Or they take your info and promise to put you on their do not call list, in like 6 months.
and then they call back...
If you do manage to ask the name of their company its usually the name of the company that bought advertising.
Caller ID says: "no number, no name." I don't answer any call I don't recognize the caller ID.
Wouldn't most of the new account work be done ahead of time?
Really
So you buy your car, and then all debts are forgiven? Then how are the hundreds of people who built and transported your car to you going to get paid?
Why not the 'O' keys?
It should become a new tradition.
Depends on if he wants to give them a hint, or have them form a line.
Are there any major observatories near NYC? (hmm large mountains close to NYC?)
Are these new lights narrow or wide spectrum?

Not to mention, If you had a pie chart of the current budget, NASA's slice would be so thin as to be invisible, just a line.
We spend more in one day for Welfare than NASA spends in a year. (probably slightly exaggerated)
