/q You can buy your natural gas from one provider and have it delivered by the one with the local monopoly on the pipes. Why can't we do this with internet connections?/q
They actually do this in Chicago, but only in the areas they HAVE to. In the city and some suburbs (where local ordinance prevents no comp) they lease lines to WOW Cable and RCN, in other suburbs, and from my own unscientific research shows that these are the more affluent suburbs (where incomes are high) they refuse to lease their lines.
Poor me with no choices. and don't say DSL, it isn't a choice.
Welcome to the dawning realization that America has begun its "pussification" phase. The downfall of an Empire will start when it's children can no longer handle the emotional stress of not being liked.
Absolutely the case. I work for CDW selling to large customers (500 emp +) NO ONE will order a machine with vista, we had to make Lenovo, Acer, HP offer downgrade disks available. The only way MS will pull a huge rollout is if they require those with EA's to upgrade on their next true up.
Phantasy Star, the game that forever molded me into a fat nerd, until I grew 8 inches between 8-9th grade, became a basketball standout, had sex (with a girl) and went on to a merry life of playing sports for money. If you change the word sports to whoring, that is.

A. Hollywood screws everything up
B. Duke Nukem is in a Cryogenic freezer next to Walt Disney
C. Hollywood screws everything up
D. Cash rules everything around me, get those dolla bills y'all!
I have to wait for Splinter Cell because they had a good year? What about the consumers and fans here? sometimes, capitalism sucks, but only when I can't get what I want.
All this is essentially true except that in addition to selling the credits for someone growing, the market is going to be flooded with people that bought land for this purpose. Land that already has trees on it, they aren't growing anything. They are just buying land and not developing it.
WTF is wrong with the world? I think it is a sham. I wonder how much money BP/Amoco will pay me for not cutting down the 200 yr old oak in my yard to help off set their gabillion tons of carbons from refining gas.
that's if you can find one stateside. I wonder if Nintendo is purposely limiting US supply to keep demand high. Good move if so, bad move if they can't produce enough.

I would love to see the CEO make the Home Alone's kid's facial expression.

I should probably not do that anymore.....

Did you know North Korea has teh most submarines in the world? hmmmmmmmmm, me thinks someone meant them all to go down at the same time.
someone here mentioned and I read it, and I gotta say it is pretty visionistic. I made that word up by the way.
You obviously don't live near or in Chicago......

The little fairies that sprinkle sunshine on them killed the mosquitoes....wait did I just butcher a "Waterboy" quote?
AMIRITE?

Now my perceived value of $4.99 a month is justified! Take that cheap asses!

I wonder if Mr. Burns is actually the head of the RIAA. "That bill is going to pass sir" "EXCELLENT, Smithers, Excellent."
Rare? Try finding the Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 2. The Stop wants $30 used for it.
Really, what does it cost...$5 a month? I bet you spend that much on tissues at the end of every Cold Case episode.
where's Chris Farley when you need him? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beverly_Hills_Ninja
