This is ridiculous: "Consumers who knowingly take computers to an unlicensed company for repair can face the same penalties."

So a consumer cannot simply sign a special power of attorney allowing the computer repair person the right to inspect the owner's system and all the contents therein...

That's a FEDERAL law. Good luck, Texas, in your attempts to strip your citizens of the right to assign power of attorney to others.

Makes me wonder what's next? Declare everyone taking their computers to the shop legally insane so as to render their special powers of attorney null and void?

Loophole (more like a sink hole, it's so big): SPECIAL POWER OF ATTORNEY

No state, including Texas, has the right to take that away from you.

If I set the budget, we'd have Ares and more. Unfortunately, I don't set the budget, and Ares is just too expensive and too far out for us to accomplish our goals within the budget we were given.

If we halt the ISS, all versions of Ares, and transport Orion and Altair aboard DIRECTv3's Jupiter family of Shuttle-Derived Launch Vehicles, we just might make it back to the Moon by 2020.
