They can sell the toy, but they're not forcing you to buy it. Don't want your kid to have the CSI toys? DON'T BUY IT! If you don't buy it, it won't be under your tree for Christmas!
Obviously, this dude doesn't believe in Santa Claus!!!
It wouldn't be a surprise if the spammers re-directed their sites to the trackers, as both Suprnova and Lokitorrent had torrents for the screensaver. At the current time, it is still unknown who was behind it.
For comparison purposes, credit reports are free in Canada from both major credit unions -- Transunion and Equifax.
The canadian "Freedom of Information Act" stipulates that all private companies shall disclose you all the information they have on you for free.
Postal service is the lowest-common denominator for universal access, which should be the 'free' service. Secure web platforms don't build themselves for free...
But snail mail has to be read by meat popsicles which you have to hire, train and pay...
Whereas NASA's manned programme once had a clear vision and message - using the STS in conjunction with the ISS as a stepping stone to more orbitally-based research and then on to bigger and better things - now it's unclear where exactly NASA is heading.
NASA never had a clear vision and message. It's heyday moon shot efforts were merely an international pissing contest, which, once won, meant that NASA had outlived it's usefulness, and has since ever been decaying into irreleventness.

Last year the credit card industry profits were nearly $30 billion dollars. My guess is that they just write off the fraud and then pass those costs onto the consumer.
6 years ago, I declared bankrupcy (fuck the fucking fuckers!). Just before I was about to do so, I get a letter, not registered, but by bailiff, that tells me that they would renounce to pursue any further claim towards the money I owed them, provided I paid them 35% of what I actually owed them. This means that they are perfectly willing to accept a 65% loss on accounts, which shows how much they are bathing in money.
Well, my 4 words (as to why the parent poster voted for Bush) are not quite as laconic: "Works For Defense Contractor" You typically vote with your wallet. Conscience? What's that? (:
Conscience is something you must not have whenever you dabble in military things.
And it is well proven with the unconsiouscable guy admitting that he voted for schrub.
I'm an agnostic, a computer engineer with both a B.S. and M.S. from top engineering universities, and a current candidate for a J.D. in intellectual property. I work for a defense contractor and make a pretty decent living. I'm also only 23, so I'm part of the younger crowd that tends to vote for the blue. I hate NASCAR and the thought of watching cars going around in an oval for hours on end bores me to tears. I'm from Northern Virginia.
I voted for Bush. I was able to reasonably come to the conclusion that he had my interests at heart. I don't give a flying fuck what Bush thinks about his God. All I know is that his policies work.
Just wait until your job is outsourced to India...
Referring to anyone as "the kind of people" makes you look like a douchebag. You are the tart cart conspiracy theorist talking about the CEO of Diebold. Go get a new tin foil hat and learn to lose with some dignity.
People who vote republican are bourgeois who cannot accept defeat, so they do not hesitate to cheat in order to win.
Here in Massachusetts, if you have a posted return policy, you have to live by it. Just because some computer decides it doesn't want to take the return doesn't mean you don't have to take it. If your policy says you would take it back, you have to, or the store is liable for fines. (Fines can run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.) If you have no posted return policy, you can be made to take back almost anything. (And, posted means it has to be where customers can see it before they make a purchase. Printing it on the back of the receipt doesn't count.)
Reminds me of a day when a friend bought a pron DVD in a pron video store. He bought it on the sales rack. The clerk forgot to stamp the receipt.
Turns out the DVD was defective. So he returns it. Good thing I hopped along with him; the clerk took the receipt and promptly stamped it "final sale". Seeing this, I wrench the receipt from his hand and I rub it against my (old) tee-shirt, so the wet ink transferred to the shirt, as a proof that he just stamped it.
I then proceeded to very loudly complain about him being a fucking cheater.
Normally, people being ashamed of buying pr0n won't complain when they get screwed. Boy was the guy in for a surprise!!! Of course, this scared the other customers who quickly left; before long, the store was virtually empty.
Comes the manager and he tells me he's gonna call the police. I said, "go ahead, I'll tell them what a goddammed fucker you are; I'll ask them to ask for the security camera recording to prove that the salesman stamped the receipt after the fact". That quickly shut him up, and he promptly refunded my friend. Of course, everytime a customer entered, I started shouting louder that they were a bunch of fuckers...
Nothing like complaining loudly in a crowded store to bring those fucking retailers in line.
I have actually had a local Guitar Center refuse to sell me something unless I let them put my name in the database (I was paying cash, the item was $10).
President Bush strongly opposes any treaty or policy that would cause the loss of a single American job, let alone the nearly 5 million jobs Kyoto would have cost,
What a savvy answer to the sucking sound of jobs fleeing to India...

I thought it was Howard Stern.
And the republicans are precisely the kind of people who would not hesitate to cheat in order to win.
Of course, retailers would dearly like those guys to be buried six feet deep...

Canada currently has a minority government, and they have far bigger problems to deal with than copyright law extensions.
