If you look at the overall federal budget, NASA gets a drop in the bucket compared to Social Services and Defense. The move to extend the Shuttle for a few more years is not a surprise. I don't know, I just get the feeling that if the manned space program ever ends, that will be it. People will start to ask, "Do we really need it?"
Shortsighted people have been doing that since day one. Its one reason NASA has such a small budget now. its hard to fight ignorance with science.
After you grow up in another 10 years you will be kicking yourself for being so damned stupid. ( if she sticks around that long after such a childish start )
So what are my alternatives considering they are a f-ing monopoly? They were NOT my provider choice, they bought out everyone else in the area, one by one.
Where is the FCC? Aren't they supposed to be protecting s consumers against nonsense like this?

its not just 1 sheriff, its the system in general.
And my world is based on black and white, either you are good or evil. No shades of grey.
I get more like 98% spam.
"your town has been condemned"
Problem solved. We have 'due process' for evicting entire towns. Its happened before. It can happen again.
May not be practical, but don't say it *cant* happen. And at a 'whim' is sort of relative, you cant fight it when they come to bulldoze your house.
Saving tax dollars wouldn't serve the governments purpose. they LIKE spending it like its water.
And if there are more ravaged homes and ruined lives due to inaction, they get to spend even more.
Oh, id not expect help. But tell that to the sheriff when they come to remove you. In the past they have drug people away anyway.
This is an ISP that cares nothing about freedom of speech
They don't hold a monopoly on that, most large corporations are like that.
Especially since they are pissing everyone off and are under investigation as it is.
I don't agree at all.
Non enforcement does not negate the law. It does sort of make it pointless to have on the books, but it doesn't remove it automatically.
Oh, we will know soon enough. They will be the first ones the FCC shuts down.
Unfortunately, the government can just take the land and force them all to move.
This is 2008, the peoples rights are only there if it serves the government's purposes.
Should be my choice to stay or not. Sure i might die, but its MY property, my life, my choice.
I thought this was America?
If they make it more costly or near impossible to actually transfer anything it will effectively kill p2p.
As a nice side effect ( nice to the government, not us citizens ) it will also kill off privacy protecting projects like freenet.

Don't try to be cute, go traditional.
Well, my kaypro II still works.. so it is possible.
Since its just photos, package in a portable DVD player.
Vacuum packed in plastic bags.
Of course the DVD dyes may likely deteriorate by then. Using pressed aluminum CD's would do better.
I think that is really high and not reality.
Sure there are crooks everywhere but 88% does not sound right to me.
Who are you to decide what is legit or not?
If you aren't making a profit ( ie business ) then you shouldn't be charged the business rate.
SHOULD bankrupt them.
For you perhaps, but not for everyone.
The FCC should stop this before we have to sue.
So as my incoming spam increases by the day, i now get penalized for things out of my control.
Nice going, bastards.
Screw them.

But still could be good for quick and dirty bumpmaps.
If you don't encrypt.
