Depends on a lot of things. If it's an address that is NATed to a company that has a niche interest in what is being discussed on the forum, one person at that company could block access for the entire company.
Let's say it's a popular medical forum, and a hospital allows patients Internet access (quite common). Let's say they also route their workstations' nonvital/nonprotected web traffic through that internet connection in order to ease traffic on their real business connection. If one patient at a very large hospital gets pissed off (because he's sick) and starts trolling forums at WebMD (I don't know if they actually have forums), and WebMD blocks that address? The whole hospital loses access to that forum.
I can't speak for all of their products, but I have a video card of theirs and have had exactly zero problems with it since December (when I purchased it). Perhaps I just got lucky...
Aaaaaah. I turned the blue one inside out and made the red one backwards, flipped them around and then over, and thanks to your insightful suggestion, I am now blind. Thank you very much, Slashdot! *mock rage*
Some saying they have seen unidentified objects is a far cry from them "backing him up," which is to say that they have been told secret information, that aliens have contacted Humans, but that it's been covered up.
Because we'd prefer to avoid the truth that NASA would send a nutcase on a dangerous and stressful missions in space, when there are hundreds of qualified "normals" waiting for the opportunity to do the same, yet never will.

...and true. I spent a whole minute looking at four images (happened to have a pair of R/B 3d glasses at work, amazingly) and another 4 minutes for my eyes to start working properly again.
Please go back and read again. Microsoft HAS NO BEARING IN THIS. It could have been replaced by any company, even one that does not exist.
Nowhere did I definitively state that MS is a monopoly. It could have been any company. IT WAS A HYPOTHETICAL SITUATION. You said if one company was a monopoly, another could not be. I pointed out that that was incorrect. Try reading what was written instead of jumping up and down screaming because someone dared question your wrong assertion.
If you need me to spell it out for you without specific references, here goes: Someone said "...monopolistic arms of companies such as COMPANY A" You said "If there are other companies LIKE COMPANY A, then there is no monopoly." So I pointed out that if the point of comparison between two companies IS THE FACT THAT THEY ARE A MONOPOLY, then the phrase is perfectly coherent. It only fails if those two companies are direct competitors of one another, WHICH WAS NOT PART OF THE ORIGINAL STATEMENT.
Now, it is possible that what he meant to say was incorrect. I don't know. But what he DID say, exactly as written, was not incorrect in any way. If you can't understand this logic, you had no business trying to deflate his argument in the first place....Man, I bet I've been trolled. Fuck.
Do you have any idea what I was replying to? That has nothing to do with the point I was making. It was a hypothetical that included "if Bell was still a monopoly," so why didn't you argue that (ignoring that it is going that way again)?
So you are saying only one monopoly can possibly exist at one time? So if the original Bell monopoly still existed and it was decided that Microsoft was a monopoly, suddenly Bell would no longer be one? Could you not say "Microsoft is a monopoly, like Bell."
I'm not so sure it will reflect sounds waves as well as it will reflect radio waves... Probably depends on the dish material, though that would be a cool use.

And that same handful of users' VALID posts get muted without their knowledge, it seems.

I don't believe Marines are taught logic classes. In fact, it's probably frowned-upon, as it may interfere with them following some crazy orders.

I understand what you mean, but there are far more than 7 notes. Even in one octave, there are 12 tones (for normal western music).
