Part 121: The section of the Federal Aviation Regulations specifying rules for regularly scheduled commercial airliner traffic. Delta, AirTran, etc. operate under these rules.
Part 135: The section of the Federal Aviation Regulations specifying rules for non-scheduled Charter/Air Taxi operations. These range from anything from large piston singles to Lear Jets being operated on a for-hire basis as-needed.
Class B Airspace: Airspace designation around large major airports or clusters. BWI/Dulles/National and JFK/Newark/La Guardia are each under B airspace. It has certain control requirements for any pilots wishing to enter, including clearance and two-way radio contact from the ATC facility controlling it and an altitude-encoding transponder.
The shopping channels, unlike most other networks, pay the cable company to be carried, unlike almost every other channel. You're not going to see them disapear with a la Carte, since they're subsidizing the rest of the channels you subscribe to.
Most of the religious channels either operate under the same agreement as the shopping channels, or are carried to meet public interest requirements and neither side pays the other.
Yet another reason the continued trend of federal tax money being redistributed to local authorities should be stopped. There's no accountability for the money.
You want local schools? Local money pays for it. Don't make a taxpayers in some other state pay for your local elected incompetence.
Correction: You can't prosecute legal activities in the past under new legislation. I can't outlaw chewing bubble gum tomorrow and then prosecute you for chewing it last week. I can get you for doing it next week.
You can make continued posession of a legally obtained object illegal. It's rare that it happens, as things usually get grandfathered in, but states have done it before requiring offending items to either be removed from the jurisdiction or destroyed. If I bought a gun legally last year and they've banned it this year, I can't keep it in state anymore.
And rightly so. The Russians have certainly shown us how true the old line of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" is. The Proton rocket and Soyuz capsule are tried and true, if old.

Sales taxes in theory should support the government infrastructure a business uses to conduct itself such as the court system, utility infrastructure if it's public, etc.
A business with no physical presence in State A doesn't derive any benefit from the government in State A when one of it's citizens orders something and they ship it from State B. The only company that actually uses resources from State A is the shipping company, which does pay local taxes on it's employees, property, vehicles, and gasoline proportional to the proportion of the transaction that did happen in State A.
That, and there's that whole pesky no tarrifs on interstate commerce by the states clause in the constitution.
Alternatively, the Courts could do their job and enforce the 10th Ammendment, which would call into question almost everything the Congress has done since 9/11^W The New Deal^W^W^W The Civil War.
The Federal Government overstepping it's bounds is alot older and more bipartisan than you think.
But all is not despair. Do you smell that? I do, it's the smell of legislation that will never be passed. This is just another one of those bills we keep seeing that has absolutely no chance of ever becoming law, serving the sole purpose of allowing the senator to say "LOOK I WAS AGAINST EBAY SCAMMING!!!!111" Honestly, it's sad that this is what our "representatives" spend most of their time doing, but hey, at least they have the sense not to actually pass it, right?
FTFA: The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported that the law, signed by Gov. Robert Taft on Feb. 1
Because unlike feeding innocent children who don't get a say in whether they were born to parents who could afford them or not, internet access isn't a life or death necessity?
It is illegal in Pennsylvania for a citizen of the commonwealth to import liquor across state lines. There's no option to pay the taxes, you must buy it from the state liquor stores or the beer distributors.
How the hell can you blame the midnight raid on Meigs by the Daley administration (Democratic Mayor of Chicago) on the Bush administration? Daley tried to get rid of that airport since he took office in 1996, under Clinton. The FAA didn't know the airport was gone until the Mayor's office told them after it had been buldozed.
The Bush administration BTW is fining the city of Chicago at least $33,000 for improper notification, and up to about 8 million for improper use of federal airport funds that were supposed to be used at O'Hare.
Of course, the full paragraph that line comes from is:
School officials also know firsthand the widespread financial duress caused by cellphones. At Mission High School in San Francisco,
where three-quarters of the 975 students qualify for free or reduced-price lunches, the principal, Kevin Truitt, says that many students were blindsided by costs associated with text-messaging and other features, like customized ring tones.
In other words, 3/4ths of the students and parents at this school can't feed themselves without government assistance, yet some percentage of them have their priorities so screwed up they think they need to spend $40+ a month on a cell phone for their teenager.
These aren't people that shouldn't be burned by SMS costs, they're people that shouldn't have a cell phone in the first place.
There's no way to build a MythTV box that can record digital signals from cable or satellite without having a decoder box from the signal provider connected to the PC over an analog connection and re-encoding the content. Then you need either a serial cable or ir transmitter to change channels on the decoder box and a decoder box for each tuner you have in the PC.
That's what the integration of the DirectTV tivos and some of the newer cable PVRs does. Two tuners, one box, no tangle of wires, ir controlers and multiple decoder boxes.
The laser pointer at TG is 5mW, the primary link is selling ones 20 to 30 times stronger. What's the similarity again? I thought we already knew lasers were dangerous.

Ethanol is made from Sugar Cane. Methanol is made from Natural Gas. Different alcohols.

7FFFFFFF or FFFFFFFF depending if it's signed or not.
What, you wanted it in decimal?
Freedom of speech means you can say what you want to without the Government stopping you.
It *doesn't* mean you get the right to make me pay for it.
Bull.
The point of Government is to perpetuate more government under the control of the people who currently have it.
It's not for the common good. It's not altruistic. It's power hungry people trying to maintain and gather more power.

Interstate commerce be damned.
Silicon Mechanics sells the same box as well under the nServ A400 name.
It's not a repeat, it's just been timeshifted.
