"So maybe in the future a paper copy of a magazine will be $5.00, and a digital one will be $0.50, and we will pay for the share of bandwidth we use, like we really ought to."
Are we talking.50 to my ISP? Or.50 to the magazine to pay for their content and production costs (including their ISP/bandwidth costs?
1 = EVIL
2 = A deserving Business making their profit on their product.
Under the FT scheme there would be far more taxable items / services. The $$$ (UN-income-taxed) you then spend, (on services, nail jobs, cars, whatever) would be now taxed. So the more $ you spend, the more $ you'd contribute to the cause... (Not to say that we could not cut down on the $$$ that the Fed spends/wastes...)
You may be "rich", but what good are those $$$ if you cannot convert them into real world goods/services?
I have the land line listed under "my brother's" name (he (who happens to be dead) pays the bill yadda, yadda...)
And it's not like I've given the number out to anyone other than to people that I never want to talk to: Speak to the Machine, Thank You for Playing!
Fsck the 'unlisted' charges, it's not like we don't already pay enough specious Telcom charges (Federal Access Charge @ 6.50/mth?!? WTF... Is this how our Fiscally Responsible(TM) OverDorks pay for the HomeLand '(In)security' NSA monitoring program?).
Umm, where I work (as a contract ho', but I have beni's!) everyone has a laptop on the CorpNet that we can take home to VPN back in to get things done off hours. Given, there is anti-virus and firewall SW that is really difficult to turn off, but I regularly use mine to access (reasonable, one has to assume the IE cache is downloaded once one is back on the CorpNet) web-sites. We probably have +500 of these in our OU alone (out of a +45000 system Enterprise AD instance).
So at least in our Fortune 100 Enterprise, laptops are always allowed inside the FW. Including every VP I've met. Did I mention that all of these laptops are PGP WDEed? (No one wants to end up in the papers, fscks with the stock price.)
If our Enterprise desktop group (paranoid bastards to a man) think it's an acceptable risk, I have to assume they have done their homework.

Where can I get that deal TODAY in NoColo?!? I'm paying ~$18.50/Mb for ADSL.
Pre-tax, of course. (Assuming I'm reading this god-awful billing statement correctly.:)

Saw his show @ the 9:30 Club in DC (IIRC). TVOD...
And then there was Tiny Desk Unit. One of the BEST Bands I ever witnessed!! (Next to Black Flag (DC?) & the DKs @ the Marble Bar in B'more.)
Good Times!
Gotta love this town! (The Town Pump rules.)
Although it snows all the time, so you do not want to move here...
Peace!
