Microsoft Corp. announced today that they were planning on acquiring SCO for $1985.67. "I believe this is a great opportunity for us to diversify our product portfolio", Steve Ballmer said in a press conference.
There is also people like er, a friend's cousin... who download the movie, download the subtitles and then use DeVeDe to create a disc to view in the living room, because even if the resolution is better, watching a movie in a computer monitor is a bit unconfortable.
From my understanding of these things, 30% isn't out of the ordinary for "limited edition" gold coins (y'know, the ones they make 5,000 of because they don't think there's 6,000 people stupid enough to buy them), or other sources of non-investment gold.
So, rather than work to fix the law by taming your congresscritters, you prefer to break the law because it is easier than actually fixing the law and then whine when you get caught that the law is unfair. I am sure that will work out great and get things fixed up in no time.
"Voting for justice is as ineffective as wishing for justice; what you need to do is to actually be just. This is not to say that you have an obligation to devote your life to fighting for justice, but you do have an obligation not to commit injustice and not to give injustice your practical support."
"In a constitutional republic like the United States, people often think that the proper response to an unjust law is to try to use the political process to change the law, but to obey and respect the law until it is changed. But if the law is itself clearly unjust, and the lawmaking process is not designed to quickly obliterate such unjust laws, then the law deserves no respect and it should be broken."

You mean more than their continual reporting of violence including beheadings in Mexico, which has claimed only one tourist life... and there are indications that he was actually there on some sort of nefarious business?
Thanks drinkypoo... I was about to point out that drugdealers here in Mexico usually don't bother tourists at all.
All the beheadings and shootouts are between rival cartels and their army/police allies/enemies.
If you have no relation to the drug business (and you stay away from the more seedy parts of the northern cities), you have nothing to fear in Mexico.

Nah, they wouldn't be so obvious about it....
The point is that Apple decided to lie about Steve Jobs health to avoid a stock price crash.

What China did to the Mexican nationals was a disgrace.
None of them had any symptoms, they were all put into a single room with no information nor access to consular staff.
Later they were taken to a "hospital" and treated like they had bubonic plague.
If the Mexican goverment had had any balls it would have expelled the Chinese ambassador over that incident
