    That's an excuse for the racism. Pay attention to how things are worded. Pay attend to who they wont to through out.

    Most importantly, pay attention to the fact that's it's impossible to do most of of the immigration reform the repubs. want to do.

    Phrase like " flood of unskilled dregs " show clear racism and ignorance of the immigration situation.

    "DOES NOT APPLY TO THE MODERN WORLD. "
    You could not be more wrong. In fact it's more critical then ever. Clearly you don't understand the poem.

    And I fucking hate ignorant assholes like you that let the pundits do your thinking for you.

    Theya re thinking along the line of what they do with clothes.

    Specific and unique models only available to them for a short time.

    So not taking TV miodel 13456 and making it 13456a.
    Rather a TV with feature unavailable elsewhere.

    That's a bad example, because that won't happen with TVs, However it could be don with early release movies, or piece to a game only available at Target, like Skylanders.

    Because it's cheaper, and neater and better for the environment.

    Why the hell would you get a bag vacuum? it's like buying a product and getting a monthly bill attached to it just to use it.

    I just had to buy a new vacuum. The container has a lid, so no dust. My previous vacuum didn't have a lid on it's container, but you would pretty much need to be a spaz to spill any dust.

    My problem with the Dyson is the price. It's not really that much better.

    really, you would need to be an economic MORON to buy a vacuum because it uses a bag.

    The rest of your rant just shows you ignorant of vacuum design... which is Ironic considering how much your post sucks.

    BOOM!

    If the manufacture sold direct, Target wouldn't do business with them.

  8. Re:Do you want it NOW? on Retail Chains To Strike Back Against Online Vendors · · Score: 1

    Target, and most stores, don't have a commission. The have people who need to squeeze the customer in between stalking shelves, and unloading newly arrived merchandise.

    Since unloading and stalking shelves are very easy to measure, and customer service isn't, peoples review and opinion are weighted more heavily on those things.

    It is. Wal-mart is the kings of having a different model number just for them so they can do price matching.

    You're value is immediacy and customer service.
    Focus on those. If you have a trained person engage with shopper and talk to them, the shopper is more likely to buy from you. Any specialty items will simple not be bought in the volume to make it feasible.
    Seriously, how much lower then target prices can you actually get?

  22. Re:This on Russian Rocket Fleet Grounded Again · · Score: 3, Informative

    Nope. Sorry, I know far too many people at NASA for that to remotely ring true.

    However, Space flight is very dangerous, requires high label of engineering and maintenance, and is risky not jsut to the crew, but to everyone who wants to get to space. So there are a lot of details and NASA, being the experts, know what companies need to do. Companies OTOH get all pissy when they find out going to space is in no way like flying a plane and need to be held to a high standard, just like NASA.

    NASA has nothing to gain by limiting private companies. Being able to rational remove themselves from low orbit bus trips is something they would like see happen.

    Congress did NOTHING to help them move to a new launch vehicle. NASA originally didn't want a shuttle, they wanted specialized ships. One for people, and one for Cargo. Had congress allowed for that, we would have a more robust commercial launch system...probably.

    After which it unpacked itself and started driving, and 100 years later it is still driving.

    And it was designed to last up to a year. You might want to understand what that means.
