Do you still feel that you are an accurate and complete proxy for the linux community? You stated as such about 10 years ago...
And if so why have you thought so over time? If not....what changed?
You many years ago claimed you were a proxy for the web community and I disagreed in public with the IETF. Just a curiosity.
I have changed over the years...perhaps you have grown a bit as well...

Officials Use Google Earth To Find Unlicensed Pools 650
Officials in Riverhead, New York are using Google Earth to root out the owners of unlicensed pools. So far they've found 250 illegal pools and collected $75,000 in fines and fees. Of course not everyone thinks that a city should be spending time looking at aerial pictures of backyards. from the article: "Lillie Coney, associate director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center in Washington, DC, said Google Earth was promoted as an aid to curious travelers but has become a tool for cash-hungry local governments. 'The technology is going so far ahead of what people think is possible, and there is too little discussion about community norms,' she said."

No word yet on whether the Governator intends to comply."

At the point you stop getting a tax CREDIT is certainly one way.
There are other tax threshold issues as well across the boards based on things the government deems "appropriate" but certainly not basic tax rates.

I read this is going to be a HUGE user of bandwidth once they start sending the data around the world to be analyzed. Is it a good time to invest in network providers? I think there will be good plays along with all the cool scientific stuff we'll get out of it. I know the economy is looking poor, but I don't see internet usage shrinking any time soon.
I'll be sleeping soundly tonite.
