US Congress proposes to tax the Internet
MrX:
things we take for granted for not being taxed get taxed stupidly, all the time. get over it.

Hopefully i'm far away guys, that law won't touch me :rolleyes:

Orethrius:
Didn't you forget that the Cold War is still on?

That's a pretty stupid idea too. Why doesn't Jeeves just create a search engine option for Firefox that Ebay and Google already have so that people can add it to their browser and then delete it when they realize that Google is the best and that Ask.com couldn't search for its own ass with both hands, a map, and a flashlight?
