This isn't entirely correct, you're not allowed to not take cash to settle a debt. If there's no debt, you're more than welcome to tell people to piss off with their bag of change.

Specifically where congress did this bit:

The stated purposes of the Act are "regulating interstate and foreign commerce in communication by wire and radio so as to make available, so far as possible, to all the people of the United States a rapid, efficient, nationwide, and worldwide wire and radio communication service with adequate facilities at reasonable charges, for the purpose of the national defense, and for the purpose of securing a more effective execution of this policy by centralizing authority theretofore granted by law to several agencies and by granting additional authority with respect to interstate and foreign commerce in wire and radio communication, there is hereby created a commission to be known as the 'Federal Communications Commission', which shall be constituted as hereinafter provided, and which shall execute and enforce the provisions of this Act."

You mean an act of congress like the Communications Act of 1934?

They present a lot of information that will lead to that conclusion, but do not themselves state that the conclusion is fact.

A better question is why not just lay the plumbing for an automatic fire suppression system throughout every compartment.

Encrypt your own data, store it where ever and hope it's not valuable enough for someone to bother cracking it.

And it's much easier to get a "higher performance machine" in a blade server form factor, than you will ever get in a laptop.

I don't know what your cable/internet bill looks like, but I'm already paying "bullshit utility taxes" on mine.

I imagine it's paid for by the "technology use fees" paid by every student of the USG.

The uid's generally identify those.

I'll take that bet, $1000?

That sounds like 0x10c, but I know nothing about KSP.
