And if he's fired or gets hit by a bus, everything burns to the ground and they spend millions fixing it.

Gogo hospital?

Oh no, someone edited a public domain novel and changed a word that they noticed someone found offensive to another word that carries the same implications.

Big deal.

It's public domain, it's not the government doing it, it's a freakin private citizen. Sheesh, overreact much?

Being a Michigan resident, I can vouch that it's incredibly efficient.

As a plus, I can't remember that last time I saw a bottle on the side of the road. The entire state is basically swept clean by homeless people looking to collect cans for money. They go through trash cans and dumpsters all the time looking for items to recycle. In the end, I think charging 10 cent deposits on all cans is a great thing that helps the environment and people down on their luck.

I hope someday they start to expand the program into all plastic drinking containers and beyond. Right now it's only carbonated beverages and glass drinking bottles.

This just in... your not the american opinion.

Lol... give us what we want for free and you'll be amazed at what cash you won't make.

Do you really blame them for trying to keep a hold on their old business models?

The real problem here is the government spoon feeding them hope by allowing the government to be these companies enforcers. If the government didn't intervene, we'd all be off in a much better / customer friendly world right now.

See, that statement is really stupidly wrong.

Respect can never be earned, it can only be given. Even if Mother Terresa herself walked up to you and told you in great detail everything she's ever done, it's still your choice to give her respect or not. You can never earn respect, that statement is worthless garbage.

Wait... you actually think the Iranian army could hold up against the US military in conventional warfare?

Man, that's the dumbest comment I've seen this week.

You don't even need a torch, I thought about this when I was a kid. All you need is a really strong vice clamped upside down.

This is how Chinese companies generally innovate, they steal the information so they don't have to invent it themselves. We were constantly trained to keep eyes out for people stealing confidential and classified information when I worked on some Air-force Systems. Even back then, we were told the greatest threat was people being bought out by the Chinese, the US government were already dealing with tons of them trying to steal military technology. They are so far behind, they would generally do anything to try and close the gap, since they couldn't invent it quick enough themselves.

lolz... shut up. Jail has always been a place to punish people for any crime the general public decides to create.

This Utopian Jail where only bad guys by your standard are sent too has never existed. Go back to your pot.

What a load of crap.

The end does not justify the means. That mindset just builds a degrading loop of power hunger that corrupts more and more.

I call shenanigans...

Best Buy stopped carding credit customers nationwide about 4 years ago.

This is one move I would never have suspected Microsoft to take. It will be interesting, but it only lasts until 2012. It's hard to believe they would extend it longer.

I wonder how many Russians are going to scramble for non-profit status.

You got served sucka!
