...Soviet soldiers stationed at missle bases in the USSR used to carve "Fuck you USA" into the tundra and on tarmacs in huge letters with their snowplows.
There are several orbital element sets designated 'USA' that may or may not be classified military spacecraft. Amateur observers have correlated some of the unidentified element sets with known classified satellites, such as Lacrosse, Keyhole, etc. See seesat.org.
And just because you pay taxes, you are necessarily entitled to access to ever piece of unclassified information that the gov't posseses.
For years, the satellite industry has relied on celestrak.com for easy and open access to TLE's. I have written several applications over the years for satellite ground operations that ftp'd or wget'd from celestrak's ftp site. There is no ftp or http access directly to the files on space-track. You have to log in to the web site, navigate through their cgi crap and copy/paste. Its going to be a major PitA to rework this stuff. I don't have as much of a problem with the restriction of access to this data as much as the poor design of the site.
And contrary to popular belief, I think just about any US citizen can get an account on space-track if you sign up for it. There is a lot more to the story than NASA's OIG server crashing. The Air Force has been warning that this was coming for a very long time.

Why is this so funny? This is a real option for any US citizen. If not that, go work for the NSA, CIA, DoD or a defense contractor. They're all hiring in droves. Do something real to defend the USA and fight terrorism, regardless of your personal politics. The enemies of the US don't discriminate between Democrats and Republicans. Civic duty is a lot more than just voting and complaining about the results.
The gap between the iBook and 12" powerbook is not very large right now. The main difference is the video hardware. The iBook has the ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 with 32MB. The Powerbook has a NVIDIA GeForce FX with 64MB (128MB on the 15" and 17"). The Powerbook supposedly has a better quality display than the iBook. Also, the superdrive (DVD-R) is an option on the 12" powerbook while it is not on the 12" ibook. Otherwise, they are very similar. The 15" and 17" Powerbooks are still quite a jump above the 14" iBook.

Don't get to worked up. This guy is the biggest hack out there. He wouldn't know an API from a hole in the ground.
It's a trap! /morally obligated
It would be different if they were remotely funny or at least interspersed with real articles.

Got it! Thanks for the tip.
Thanks, I'll try it. Is this documented anywhere?
How so? How can you script with the login?

Don't forget. Hardware releases always happen on Tuesdays for some reason.

I guess this story was so good that it had to be posted twice within 24 hours.

That was Sept 6th, 2003. Those pictures have been circulating for a year.
