Comment UN DOOO yahoo (Score 1) 29

How about undooing a few yahoo properties that they bought up and mismanaged, turned my "lifetime of upgrades" purchase of Musicmatch into another music company called eMusic and told me my "lifetime subscription" would need to be repurchased? Like hell. I bought winamp instead. I knew it would only be a matter of time before I will finally have to give up my yahoo email preference too. Dang anyone know of a good webhosting service overseas?

During the texas oil glut when independent oil producers were selling for cents a barrel John D bought them out for very cheap money and cornered the oils market and created one of the 1st monopolies. They were ultimately forced to break it up into Chevron etc. but you ought to know about that since its ancient history right? Have we learned what happens when we allow buyouts? I applaud the Rockefellers for ridding themselves and showing the world a better way is fast approaching.

"including marijuana, where we've had people jump out windows after eating marijuana laced candies" Spoken from a straight laced slashdot crackpot who does not even know what pot does to you personally. Brownies make you feel like opiates You can't hardly move...let alone go "flying" Either you better try it and see how stupid that statement is or just be silent because half of the readers here know better.

Oliver North was the scapegoat remember? And they stood him up in Congress and tried to paint him as a freedom fighter hero. SHIT How can you forget RayGun admitting "there were things I was not aware of" after it was uncovered . Remember the CIA airplanes that had ex GI pilots that said "Cocaine going north, and Guns going south." All while NANCY (the story is about her remember?) says "Just say NO" Well I did and said NO way (bong Hit) I am afraid everything about fighting wars is just selling Wall Street firm's weapons to both sides if possible. SAD

It seems there is a LOT more energy underground than can ever be accounted for by rotted biological products. I mean are we really driving around in our cars with dinosaurs "off gasses?" I feel a lot of the energy was slammed underground before it could explode and buried deep for our energy companies to rape us. Thanks Exxon

"The U.S. has confiscated all the oil in the world" Except in Irag Syria where the locals (Sadam's old army) have grabbed it back. That is why we are paying so less for gasoline. period. The big oil companies lost their stranglehold and our (middle class) economy and we will finally get a break after years of being charged double at the pump.. I hate ISIS but I love instability in the supply of oil. "we have to cut off their main source of revenue" Sure thing General. The wall street investors don't know where to go now... $1.88 gas here we come!

Free Lawyers? 'Worth every penny' you don't have to pay??? The courts often make $$ a condition of probation; Pay the court appointed attorney blah blah blah. In my case my defending lawyer told me to "just plead guilty." It cost me $275.00 in 1969 for a 'free lawyer.' Sure I did not HAVE to pay it. But I wanted off probation. Settling for a "public defender" was dumb. I was 18 and did not know better. NOW I DO. Do NOT ever plead guilty Do NOT even talk to an officer. Dummy up. They are there to collect enough evidence to convict someone. Sometimes we hear about 'planted evidence' etc. Justice is for the well off. Lawyers support this scenario gladly.

MS has made statements to the effect that they did not realize the 'advertising potential.' Looks like advertising platform is a VERY good new name for Win10. Of course they (M$) will tout the mass acceptance of their "free upgrade" that will arrive someday soon to my reserved tag. THE BIGGEST DOWNLOAD IN HISTORY! Maybe the LONGEST running. I hope their servers choke on it. Have you noticed M$ is giving away the win10 upgrade to the 'least needed' crowd? And that M$ was listening when most of us said every newer version of windows is like an upgrade from the last. Why should we buy a new windows version when it's basically an upgrade? Point taken...thanks Bill G
