in this case patriot is an acronym, the act is the USA PATRIOT act, or "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism.
though i agree it is a poor choice, oh, and a lie...
is there a sign up sheet somewhere... not that i have a problem with xtians... i'm against any group that feels a need to sell me a belief system. i have a belief system (unencumbered by religious entanglements), it works great for me, so, GO AWAY!!!
hey "ac", not even a hdtv manufacturer makes them from scratch... and i can almost guarantee not one person one the assembly line would likely be able to assemble one on their own, even with all the prefab. components right in front of them.
I refer you to the following jingle by Paul Anka & Lisa Simpson:
Paul Anka: To stop those monsters 1,2,3, here's a fresh new way that's trouble-free. It's got Paul Anka's guarantee Lisa: Guarantee void in Tennessee! Both: Just don't look, Just don't look, Just don't look, Just don't look
The web page could have even more information that my example shows. In which case, it could make the toll-free number unused, and the mailing costs much reduced. In which case the company might actually save money. In which case, they could afford to lower prices which could lead to more sales.
If a company reduces its costs, that will NOT translate into lower prices... it will make the richest 3% of said company even richer, while those who do the work get nothing. Maybe even cut.
So.. Why do they/need/ to have commericals? Other than greed, I mean.
First, i don't think "most" people here support a ban on "all" firearms, and second, missles turn guns into blobs of steel, so what use is a gun if your facing the turret of a tank coming up your front lawn?
Cary Sherman, President of the RIAA: 'The fact that the overwhelming majority of those who received the notification letter contacted us and were eager to resolve the claims is another clear signal that the music community's education and enforcement campaign is getting the message out.'
WRONG!! It's a clear sign that mob style strong arm tactics work. Why not just put a horse's head in their bed.
and your point is what then?... if the earth is destroyed, i don't need to pay rent, don't need to come up w/ a halloween costume, and most importantly, if the earth is destroyed, i don't have to worry about waking up w/ a hangover.
your analogy is quite flawed. using information gleened from source XYZ to compile the methods used by auto theives to rob ZoomZoom model X10, or model Z14, or whatever and using that data to enhance security comes a bit closer.
and there is nothing wrong with BigMedia using BigChampagne to gather data, but to say P2P networks have no value other than copyright infringment, and then using the traffic generated by them to boost sales, well, now the waters get a little murky.
"When people talk about 'it's only a game', they're cheapening the value of games. It trivialises the time people spend playing a game and time is the most precious thing people have."
but it IS only a game, so why waste what precious little time we have on this mortal coil staring at some screen having our "adventures".
"People need drama in their lives. Games fulfil emotional and mental needs that cannot be fulfilled any other way,"
sure they do... like oh, i dunno... killing, raping, torture, and vehicular hommicide to name a few....

All the research dollars will dry up and we will see far less miracle drugs
I have seen very few "miracle drugs", what I DO see are companies saving patents by upgrading and re-releasing drugs.
Medicare/Medicaid already underpays doctors for services( 40-60% ) and this raises prices for the rest of us
I think greed, and frivolous lawsuits provide this "service" to the common man more then medicare/medicaid.
I refer you to the following jingle by Paul Anka & Lisa Simpson:
Paul Anka: To stop those monsters 1,2,3,
here's a fresh new way that's trouble-free.
It's got Paul Anka's guarantee

Both: Just don't look, Just don't look,
Just don't look, Just don't look
It worked for Springfield... sorta

So.. Why do they
The answer is in the question me thinks
good... then maybe they will finally go away...
btw - fp...maybe?

operative phrase: within the United States
If the calling party is outside the US, then it does not appear it would apply... though IANAL
