that world governments can't seem to feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, or end the diamond trade related genocides in Africa, but let big business whine about "potentially lost profits" and it's "World Leaders To The Rescue" Da.. Da.. DAAAA! Fucking disgusting. Let's hope ACTA turns out better for the little guy than the US's InuranceCompanyCareReformBill.
The same statements that you have made about MS can probably be made about 95% of the Fortune 500.
Doesn't make those actions, or the companies that committed them, good or acceptable. Large companies have the luxury of voting with their LARGE campaign contributions, which sadly, often hold more water than a single vote.

I guess I'm NOT going to be buying an XBox for Christmas this year. It was down to the PS3 and the
XBox. Now, I'll have to take a second look at the Wii. Any/.ers have preferences out there as far as game quality vs price? (yeah, like I have to ask a./er for an opinion)
1982 MBZ= Classic Pimpin'. I loved the grille and body shape of those.
I drove my 1971 144S for 250K+ miles and never had anything done but the brakes and oil changes (2 of them). Not that I'm proud of that. If I'd taken care of it, it'd probably gone a million. (yeah, you're right!)They can make a maintenance free battery, why not a damn motor?
I could manage the $15 a month for a few hours of enjoyment back when I had side jobs coming out of my ears. Now that things have taken a downturn, I have canceled my subscription and moved on to G**dW*s; which costs a little more initially, but has no monthly subscription costs. Any plans on changing the fees all around? How about a tier based system? $15 per month is an awful lot for something I only play for about 2-8 hours per month.
I know also, that for some of my friends at work, at least, WoW has become something they are frustrated with due to instance availability, technical issues, ever increasing in-game SPAM and high costs.
Is WoW stuck in a rut? Or is Blizzard ready to step up and keep it in the #1 spot?
Do I spend my next free cash on the sequel for what I'm currently playing, or do I give WoW another shot?
No, the "terrorists" are done cleaning up after manipulating the market and making billions of whatever currency they use, so there's no need for those sites anymore. They have a new geocities URL.
And will be conducting business as usual. Just like WAMUJPMorganChase.
An armed rebellion that would get squashed in a millisecond? Protesting has gotten us nowhere. Heck, I don't think my Congressmen and Senators even read my emails or letters.
How do we hold the traitors accountable?
That is the question that plagues me now that I have completely lost any confidence in all three branches.
you'll hop over to the vote tally page
and
see which list your representative is on. If you
disagree with their vote, contact them and let them know they fucked up.
Interestingly enough, neither Obama
nor Hillary bothered to vote on this back in February.
The best we can hope for now is that maybe the Supreme Court will overturn
it as unconstitutional.

a communist government is an unacceptable evil by its very existence.
Um, 1950 called and they want their outdated and incorrect rhetoric back.
That's the single smartest thing said in this thread.
You have WAYYYYY too much faith in Avast!. Only user education and using common sense is going to prevent infections. (Or running Linux)

I'd better download teh interwebz now, while I cn still get em,
If they turn off the internet, it is this guy's fault.

Greg, is this you? Or are you just wearing his glasses?
That seems a little risky. 300 fixes in a single patch? Hope you're not patching the dB that way.

It seems to me, than in Australia, everyone in a technology related political office might be someone's mentally handicapped cousin.
Granted, it's not much better here in the states; and won't be until we all start kicking the rich, corrupt, old men in power out of these positions.

I firmly believe these industries need to be nationalized.
I'm not so sure this would be such a great thing. Though, after FISA, it is pretty much the same thing. The Feds and the Telcos colluding.
Localized, yes. Nationalized, no.

Agreed! But what can we do about it?

I've never heard it stated more succinctly.

our Congressmen, and maybe some Supreme Court Justices.

You can find your representative here, and your congressman here.
Let's flood every link in this post with
Maybe, just maybe, that might get somebody's attention. If not, at least then they will know we are watching.
And you can know that you did something, even if it is a bit late
Or do we have some Congressman and their employees who like to look at Hot Asian Porn and simply picked up some malware?
