But what about in-state mileage that's NOT on roads? Would someone have to pay for driving there 4x4 on a trail? What about if someone drives there truck mostly on a farm and it doesn't hit the streets? I know currently you can buy gas for these activities that's not taxed (you are not allowed to use the car on the streets if it's got that fuel which is colored funny in it) how does all this fit in with there per-mile fee?

Political Sites Scale Up For Election Traffic 68

Posted by timothy from the hearken-are-those-trumpets dept.
miller60 writes "News sites and political blogs are expecting extraordinary traffic tonight as Americans track results of the Presidential election, and are scaling their infrastructure to meet the challenge. Yahoo anticipates its Election Night traffic may be three times the volume seen in 2004, when it had 80 million page views on Election Day and 142 million more visits the following day. Hosting companies say customers have been ordering extra servers and load balancing services, while content delivery networks are also expecting a busy night. Will traffic approach record levels? Akamai's Net Usage Index, which tracks traffic to its customer news sites, is one metric to watch."
