This logic has never made any sense to me, since with an a la carte pricing model, only the bullshit that appeals to the lowest common denominator will ever be commercially viable.
Do you REALLY want nothing but "Two and a Half Men" and "CSI: Whatfuckingever" all day long?

"However, independent bodies have studied paraquat in this use. Jenny Pronczuk de Garbino,[9] stated: "no lung or other injury in marijuana users has ever been attributed to paraquat contamination". Also a United States Environmental Protection Agency manual states: "... toxic effects caused by this mechanism have been either very rare or nonexistent. Most paraquat that contaminates marijuana is pyrolyzed during smoking to dipyridyl, which is a product of combustion of the leaf material itself (including marijuana) and presents little toxic hazard.""

And with an inkjet printer and blank check paper, you can commit bank fraud. How is the fact that you CAN cheat relevant?

At literally every hourly job I have ever held in my life, people "clocking in" to cover for friends has been a huge problem.
Its outright theft from the employer, yet people that would never steal physical property, will cheat a time clock without thinking twice.

As long as you are assured that your privacy is protected...this is a huge non-issue. Fingerprint scanners are the best (In terms of ease of implementation) way to prevent people from clocking in and out for each other, even though they are obviously easily defeated by anyone sufficiently motivated.

But with a minimal amount of work they could simply take the source, rename it and give it a pretty interface, and never have problems like this?

Okay, so basically youre a smug linux user that feels a constant need to rub your level of competence in computers in the face of other people?

Oh no, the fat bearded guy REALLY told them!

pouches of premium brand tuna fish appear to have become the most popular item of currency, because its a stable food item that will last forever with a relatively high per-pack price.

My bullshit detector went off right where you said that it goes up even moreso if you are over 55 and have multiple credit cards.

Advantages of web based forums:

Any idiot can figure them out and navigate them pretty easily, whereas Usenet is more than a little intimidating to new users.

Google "liquidity" and you'll realize why having it is such an important thing. (and why gambling day traders provide it)

Just DONT accept the 4.2 update when the Wii asks if you would like to upgrade. Simple as that. Unlike the XBox 360 / PS3 they have no way to "force" you to take the update.

I call complete bullshit on this, even with $20,000 worth of merchandise, we are talking only $1300 with a 6.5% tax rate. you cant just pull someone over for buying merchandise in another state, especially since what youre SUPPOSED to do is just claim the merch on your state tax return.......what if you happened to like the sales staff better at a certain store?

More music sellers will be willing to provide music through such a system, making the available amount of music larger as a whole. (Kinda like how the vast majority of legitimate paying mobile application developers have flocked to the iphone, where the largest successful DRM implementation is)

I'm not saying I at all agree with this plan, i'm simply answering your question.

For the exact same reason Apple doesn't include a link to Crucial for people that buy MacBooks that want to buy RAM upgrades?

This is the kind of ignorance that leads to years of problems with backwards social policy, because it presumes that drug use isn't widespread throughout ALL social groups and classes. (read: If you knew the reality of the situation, every neighborhood would be "the druggie part of town")
