As long as they keep talking bullshit and people keep eating it up, it won't matter what the logical reason is behind it. They'll sell whatever they can to further their profits.
It's a success once you can profit from all the labor that was invested into it. Which is hard to do with a project that "never ends." Corporations seem to get the profit right away because they don't actually invest their labor into the problem.
While I don't disagree with you points about the FDA-Bullshit and it's ability to fail tremendously the past 5 years, I really think you're off-base completely one-siding it to a "Republican" problem. It's an American problem, which includes the Dems, Repubs, Greens or whatever-you-have-it. The real problem is that both sides know you will "fight" for a side so that you keep ignoring the transfer of power from citizens to that of boards and cronies of the elected few.
I think it's safe to say that Steve Jobs did not lead in a way that was similar to most masculine-driven companies. He constantly choose to go against what everyone said "worked" and made everyone "change" their thoughts to agree with him. That sounds fairly feminine to me.
I must being a bad location then. I find most women in manager positions are good, but very authoritative. Which makes sense for the reason that they were able to get to that position to begin with. I'm not saying that it makes them bad in any sort of way I just don't see a female manager being any more cooperative than a male manager. In both cases it truly comes down to how that individual initially got to their position.
One of the screenshots showed load times of URL's. I saw one was online.wsj.com. If you ask me the WallStreet Journal site is one the the worst sites to load due the the amount of crap they try to shove onto it.
If you honestly believe what you are saying and/or are not a troll you need to get off the MegaMediaNewsSteam. I haven't heard anyone I know that still downloads their wares and were actually affected by MegaUpload going bunk. The best thing about the "pirates" is that they are extremely resourceful and have many, many different outlets to get their files. If you ask me, MegaUpload was probably the worst tool to use for this anyway. There are many more ways to get files and are just as effective. Hell, IRC was and still is better that MU.
They seized everything based on unlawful means. Why would they need evidence? The "Anti-Rights" has won this battle and the only way to ensure their victory is to erase every file that was legitimate.
The same cost for 2GB of bandwidth on a relatively expensive DSL plan ($14.99/month for 1.5Mbit) runs to approximately $0.02.
That gave me a good laugh. In my part of the States "cheap" DSL is $19.99 for 768Kb. To get to 1.5Mb you are talking at least $29.99 and that's usually when it's bundled with phone. Otherwise you are looking at the $30+ range.
Ha, yeah right. I know exactly what you are thinking and I do agree. However the problem is that when a new competitor is able to get into the market, they are bought out by the larger businesses. Alltel was the first to really start offering decent services and a reasonable way before the 4-goons ever did/have. When they sold-out to Verizon the services were grandfathered in but after that the rates and services ceased to exist even for those grandfathered in.
Personally I thought he was talking about Justin Bieber and losing him the the States. Honestly, he can take him back and keep his access locked into Canada for the remainder of time. He was not a gain to US culture by any means...

Is E85 Dead Now?

I've been wondering if Ford was already certain that the damage was too great to even risk with their vehicles. At the least, their standard non-hybrid or Alternative models all seem to be label explicitly NO-E85 or any alternative fuel other than gasoline/gasohol (10% ethanol). This is true on my 2011 Fiesta, where they state using E-85 can void the Powertrain warranty completely.
I have always looked at it this way. We currently have a currency that sums together work done by someone else at some other point in time or place. This works most of the time and always for people that do no "true" amount of work such as a management position. The person who does the true work e.g a carpenter not only does work that is valued but does work that can be traded for other services. A true free-market would be strictly bartering and providing services to get another service in return without a currency broadly covers all aspects. This cannot work in today's society because the majority of people do not have an skills and could never make a reasonable bargain for the service or product that they want.
Capitalism works so long as it stays balanced and the Big Business/Monopolies are broken up every couple of years so that new, fresh growth can occur. This seemed to happen occasionally in the 80's and 90's in the U.S. Since ~2000's the only thing that the government truly seems to be doing is gathering all the largest companies in each sector into one large mega-group. Which proves your point about concentrated power and wealth. However, that's just a symptom of the larger issue.
In short, there is nothing that is not damaging in an excessive amount. A lot of anything will bring bad consequences. This includes anything we consider "good" such as vitamins and minerals and HDL.

I don't doubt it in the lease bit. Much of the talk from vets has been a harsh resistance staying abroad and wanting to come home. Then you get this little bit of fun: http://worldnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/03/29/10927844-child-witnesses-to-afghan-massacre-say-robert-bales-was-not-alone

Just wait until they use their remaining resources to legislate their existence for another 20+ years. +1 for Corporation Lobbying.

It's too bad we can only go to -1. Sometimes I wish we could give a negative notion of - just to feel good about nominating super-trolls.

They are considered "Olive."
Well, not all of it. The DOE likes to give them money too. They just state that they are finding ways of being "Green" or something along those lines.
Yes, but good look trying to figure out who is really behind "Barrett Williams."
Precisely.

I can say that "Tetris" for the Ti-XX calculators was impossible after 200 rows.

Okay, I read into their statement incorrectly about the opposing it. However, my statement regarding them supporting the next SOPA-clone is still in line with their own statement. http://techland.time.com/2011/12/23/godaddy-reverses-position-on-sopa-yanks-support/
