You actually are losing your ability to grow your own food here.
More and more, genetic material from monsanto shows up in crops, they own said crops.
You already do not have the right to build your own shelter, unless you already own the land, and permits, and have the ability to buy the materials, and pay the taxes on them in perpetuity.
False premise.
There are 50 marketing guys lined up for the job, but not 50 engineering guys.
Didn't a bunch of folks buy a game, with a stated pricing and gameplay model?
And then later, EA changed the pricing and gameplay model to something that makes more money?
Sounds like classic bait and switch to me.
They probably need to be sued for this one...
It works, if you are on the Yankees.
The Bush tax cuts increased tax revenue through increasing the volume of assets flowing through the economy as well, and they must have had some positive effect on domestic jobs to keep unemployment around 4-5% all those years.
Wow, how's that Kool-Aid?
We are still sorting out the fallout from Bush's policies, economic and otherwise. If you think our current predicament is not the result of the Bush administration, I got a bridge to sell you.
Not a cop out... nobody said they couldn't.... just that they didn't.
The Media's audience is The Public.
Will sure make it easier to satisfy the requirements for broadband stimulus package money.
WTF? I thought that was what the current argument was about, whether we were going to HAVE a single "US health system" or not. We currently don't
have a single system so how does this asshat ascribe policies to the current industry? The 'aim' of most of the people in the current semi-free market system is the same as any business. Balance customer (patient) service against earning a living.
No, actually the current argument is about whether or not there will be an INSURANCE option for our current system, that you cannot be denied, or dropped from.
Everyone keeps screaming BUT THE FREE MARKET!
Sorry folks, health care is not a free market. It's an oligopoly that massively influences government.
The argument is about breaking that (monopoly.)
That's the irony... it'll be a much free-er market, when there's a public option delivering competition.
I've had 2 units replaced under warranty for the ring of death, and the service for the repair/replacement was excellent.
Yes it did suck that I was without my console for a month. But, I didn't have to spend a dime, and it was very painless to deal with.
This is why I would still buy one (and Xbox Live is definitely excellent.)
At least on this one, M$ has done exactly the right thing, at least for me.
Even more generally... life is always sex and violence.
It's everywhere in the animal kingdom.
Violence as the way to feed yourself, protect yourself from being something elses food, gain, retain and defend breeding rights (and territory.)
Every last animal exists to have sex (and procreate) and the violence is how they do it.
Sure... there are prey species too, and they mostly have to RUN!
Not to mention the ability to sell nuclear weapons to groups of people that might like to have them.
It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
