A near space stack consists of a helium balloon, recovery parachute, and nearcraft, and can reach fifty feet (~17m) in length. Such a stack can fly to over 100,000ft (~33km) in altitude yet costs only a few hundred dollars. The balloon expands as the stack rises and will eventually burst. The payload then parachutes to earth and is tracked with GPS data sent via telemetry on amateur radio .
If you like that idea, check out what the pros think about launching satellites from balloons.:)
The companies that WILL be hurt by these laws should unite and back candidates as replacements for the supporters of these bills. Media has always been a significant part of U.S. policies. It is time for the new media to take an active role. It is a duty of an American to oppose an individual entering into an elected position if they know the individual is misrepresenting Americas best interest. Unfortunately, when there is no other candidate opposition is fruitless. Presenting a candidate to replace these people degrading freedom, padding their re-election trove, and making corporate desires the priority of American policy, does not have to cost lots of money. If the large media sites on the web were to find and support replacement candidates the public would rally to vote them into office. Put online polls to real use. Use them to find the right people to run. Put banners to real use. Promote those people.
This isn't about tangable things like natural resources. This is a "foot in the door" attempt to sneak in control on non-tangables using natural resource trade as hostage. The U.S. isn't even a member of the TPP. However, if we can chump the countries involved into adding restrictive copyright agreements, that will change. That is what we are good at. ie. Passing laws that look like one thing but mean something completely different. An example is SOPA. The talk is "protect the childrenz and businesses". The reality is censor content and snoop on the people.
Why? The collectors get 60% of the money, the attorney/agency keeping tabs for the artist get 10%, and the artist has to split up the remaining 30% with everyone involved making it -- including the tax man. All of this bullshit is about middlemen not getting a cut. You don't get to tax shared media. You can't run an agency if the art only gets sold once.
If he produced observable energy last October, when he was going to reveal the greatness to the world, we would have heard about it. Nobody has said shit; so, I doubt his faud can even be called sophisticated.
A DNA scan of all bacteria/virus from patients with infections would be boon to public health. I can think of two good reasons it should be free to do DNA scans on every patient with an infection. Tabulating the data to watch for the spread of a desease. Studying the changes in bacteria/virus DNA as they develop resistances to treatments. I can also think of three good ways to pay for it. The government wanting to control desease outbreaks. Researchers wanting data for research. Pharmaceutical companies wanting data to make drugs to sell.
Locking it to one OS gauarantees that, when an exploit is found it can not be fixed by any means but through that OS. Relying on Microsoft to have secure software and offer fast and relyable fixes has been proven to be contrary to reality on more than one occasion.
They should put sites in Luxembourg. That is where the media moguls hide their money from the tax man. Then Luxembourg can threaten rat them out to the IRS if they try to sue the government.
All IP addresses assigned to the U.S. government should be blocked by all of the major sites. Let them have no searches, webmail, webdocs, or video's, chat, or voip until they stop trying to break stuff they know nothing about.
Everytime a site hears a government say, "we should censor [insert website here]", they should respond with an immediate blanket ip block on the addresses for the government in that country. Google, Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, Bing all should have blocked the IP addresses of the U.S. government as soon as they mentioned they were forming bills to sensor them.
For the same reason they condemn houses and buildings in Detroit so a homeless person won't occupy it. For the same reason worthless fat bastard radio talk show hosts spread hate towards people that have nothing by telling people they are getting over on all the hard working people. Money and opportunity is erroding upwards towards the 1% so fast people are afraid of becoming one of those homeless persons so they push and kick and claw over anyone and anything to keep their heads above water. Simply. The fear mongers and sell outs have been effective.
Considering the number of forclosures the U.S. has experienced over the last couple of years, I'd be willing to bet you could find more than a few homeless people with existing degrees.

So you are saying that the FAI is wrong? That the realm of Near Space doesn't officially lay between 75,000 feet (~23km) and and 62.5 miles (100km)?
Apparantly if "Premium users of the site, a small percentage of the overalluser base, are able to download and upload files with few, if any, limitations." you will loose all access and possibly even be indictable by the nutbags running the U.S. legal system.
For $300 bucks YOU can go into near space.

They've made a guitar and a microphone but no speakers? Was this funded by the RIAA?

It was free. No loss.

Competing against the pros is an incentive for some alternative DNS projects. Why break what works?
