Yeah...more Gov't involvement, that's what we need! We can create a whole new bureaucracy to feed with 10's or 100's of millions of tax dollars! Which will bring more jobs!! Which is good, right!?!!
...or we can just let the free market sort it out. And if we personally care about it, then we can personally tell our friends who are using Embarq to complain, and threaten to discontinue their patronage, or we can even show them how to anonymize their browsing.
I can believe time travel before I believe faster than light travel.
What?! But for the rest of us, FTL and Time-Travel occur "simultaneously", for a given frame of reference! That can only mean one thing! Your sense of belief obviously moves faster than the speed of light.
It could be both. Here it's not particularly "jerry-rigged", as the focus with that phrase is on the quality of the construction, instead of the make-shift nature of it.
"Rust-flavored snow cones"!?!? If I could have been so lucky! In my day we had to build our own Lander out of asbestos and lead-based paint, and all it had to rasp was rust-cicles. We thought ourselves lucky to have asbestos/lead-paint flavored rust cones!

Actually,
LIBERAL = LIBERALITY (that means giving stuff away for free, usually by means of our tax dollars)
LIBERTARIAN = LIBERTY (that means freedom to do what you want with, among other things, your income - not being forced to pay for any social program the politicians can think up)
I'm amazed that you/. guys seem to assume that any man who declines sex with a female friend has something wrong with him! It is unimaginable to a man dying of thirst, that anyone could refuse drinking anything resembling a liquid. Similarly with many/. guys & sex.
As soon as women knew that we knew their signs, they'd change their behavior to be even more ambiguous.
Judging by the current degree of ambiguity, I feel it's safe to assume this has already happened at least 8 times, throughout mankind's history.
Why are there so many people who, as professionals in our industry are wont, have already made the decision not to use Trend Micro's products due to their functional deficiencies pretending like they're going to "boycott" them because of their ethically questionable business practices (founded on their sketchy patent)?!?
Do we really need these kinds of crusades to feel better about our participation in society? I feel like I need to go on some kind of religiously-zealous war against you guys.
If irony was strawberries I'd be drinking a lot of smoothies right now...
It's as if thousands of Trend Micro shareholders suddenly cried out in terror, and then were suddenly silenced - when they realized that this call for a worldwide boycott would result in no discernible effect. Then it was as if thousands of voices cried out in laughter...
There's nothing quite like doubling productivity! If only they could double they're productivity in their efforts to find Osama. Now that I think about it, maybe the two are connected...
I disagree. I think they are all about truly helping people. It's just that the people they're helping are themselves. They're like people atop a giant pyramid scheme that's selling a sense of being included.
When you pay your monthly subscription for WoW, all you are promised in return for your payment is access. Nowhere does it say you'll get anything else but access to play. Therefore if they provide additional content after you paid, with no contractual obligation on their part to do so, they are providing that content for free.
A company is not obligated to provide what they may have stated in a press release about what they expect to have in a certain product/service. Press releases/announcements != advertising. Advertising obligates. You pay for what is advertised. Nothing more. And if they don't provide what they advertised you can get your money back, or sue.

Time to institute what I've been demanding for years...a shoot-to-kill order in "apprehending" all spammers in the first place.
You agree with the "Building a Fence" notion?! But isn't he already living in the Middle East?!

How is this not giving them "aid"?!? Or were you just saying that the Chinese aren't our enemies?
trying to top that would be an exercise fruitility...

I don't know if I can handle that much irony...
