no one notices it because they saw you do the same thing last month, and the month before that, and every month since they were hired.
rebates are a BS way of advertising. If they want to lower the price of some thing, great! I'm all for that. Just don't tell me that if I pay full price now you will give me some money back in 6 to 8 weeks.
I try to ignore the false price they like to post on the shelf, that includes the rebate, and look closely to see how much I'm realy paying.
Now, I'm not going to call you names, I think you covered all of the things that I would like to call you. but lets go over some thing:
stepping on my foot is a mistake bumping into me in the isle is a mistake calling me some one elses name is a mistake all of these things can be fixed with a, "sorry man"
holding me prisoner, wrongly acusing me of a crime, and writing me a citation for an imaginary crime are not simple mistakes. every one at fault needs to be fired. all of them. the store employees need to loose their jobs. "Loss prevention" is there to save the store money. A large and well founded law suit does not save the company money. The cop needs to be fired. A large red flag placed on his permanent record "makes up the law as he goes along. Has no respect for the law or how it is written"
"Shit Happens" is not an excuse. "I didn't understand the law" is not an excuse. get out your check book Brooklyn, Ohio. You too CC.
maybe we can hope for a Death Cube K patch. or just a corn bugs level

and what evidence do we see that the "mass deployment of law suits" is any kind of deterrent? quick show of hands: how many people are downloading LESS music/software/porn from the torrent sights? any one? ok you two. yes the ones who don't watch television, your votes have been counted. any one else? yeah, "being dealt with" you know like the war on drugs/terror/poverty. please.
if you realy want an "unsuck" feature then I recomend a wife. oh, I forgot, slashdot. before one can experience "unsuck" one must have had "suck" sorry
I'm on your side on this. I don't want a repair person making copies of what ever they find on my hard drive. I think that your example might be a little off. How about:
A plumber comes over to fix the sink. "Enjoys" the old fasioned printed pornography that he finds in the bathroom. Charges you for the whole thing.
It's still an outrage, but not quite the forcible sodomy that you describe...
I think that The Purple One knows that he is/can be a slave to a record company. Remember a few years back when he changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol? How about writing "slave" on his head? Ringing any bells?
He has the luxury of not needing the RIAA's or Warner's or whoevers money any more. That's as close as any recording artist can hope to get to beeing "free"
If the strongest threat that these companies can come up with is "stop it or we'll stop making money off selling your old records in our stores" than they are well and truely fscked.
No, no, no, no, no. I don't think that I'm ready to sign up for a free 90 day trial of Sky-Net. The idea of a firewall that calls "home" every 5 min. is just plain crackers. And one that "inserts" it's self into a low level of any part of my OS? Give me a true hardware firewall some where down the stream of ether-net, thank you.
A stack of $20 bills? I think not. More like $1 and $5 bills. Have you sold any CDs or DVDs to a "used" record store? think 10 cents on the dollar. They still have value, don't get me wrong, just not the gold mine you make them out to be.
I'm sure that it will be pumped full of all the troll fodder you hope for, and more, when it returns in six or six weeks.
this is just a "dry run" the good stuff will be in the dupe

Ah, Cthulhu, puting the FEAR into god-fearing for millions of years
or the red hot chili peppers on Crusty's come back special:
"what you got I want to hug and kiss you"
my favarite is when Snoop Dogg says that he "laces up my all blue Chucks"
MTV censored the word "blue"
so, from now on try not to use the colors Blue (crips), Red (bloods), or White (latin kings)
oh, wait that's the colors of my national flag.
weak.
maybe that preview button wiould help.
or perhaps posting in your native tounge?
loose jumbles of english sounding words do not make paragraphs.

sorry
are you implying that, even with a Spanish name, this media player is French?
perish the thought. every one knows that the French have never contributed anything important to modern society.
no.
The deal will not be done for at least two weeks.
A dupe is required to complete the cycle.
