  1. Re:If they're going to do this shit anyways on Mexican Cartel Beheads Another Blogger · · Score: 1

    This asumes that they are only doing this because its illegal, and thus must do something else illegal if this became legal. This is not the case, they are doing it because it makes money. They would continue to do it, just legally if it were made legal. I can garontee that it would be a dream come true for them as they already have the foothold on the industry.

    Most of corporate america has had this for about 10 years. I found out my old boss was using similar software like this to spy on us one day when he called me into his office with screen shots from my computer showing me looking at a tech news site and asking why I wasny working for those 5 minutes. I said, "well I am entitled 1 hour of break time per day. I never use this break time, eat lunch while working and answeing phone to be more efficient so I figured 5 minutes of looking at a job related news website would be okay." He shut up but I was horrified that hewas so paranoid. He only had 3 employees. He then installed cameras everywhere too so he could not only see what you were doing on your computer but what you were doing at your computer. This was a small comapny and we had this.. imagine what large companies have.

    I bet she is going to be pissed when she finds out there is in fact radio transmissions there... quite a bit of them in fact. The ones that are banned are the ones from outsiders. They transmit thier own radio signals that are accounted for in the science, as are the goverenment radio signals. There is in fact more electro-magnetic radiation in that area than in a city. Its a true lack of understanding of anything in reality that makes these people do these things. After all... light is also electromagnetic radiation, and there is radio waves coming from the sun and stars but she doesnt mention anything about having problems in the sun or looking at the stars. Crackpot ignorant people.

  10. Re:Hmmm. on Is There a Hearing Aid Price Bubble? · · Score: 0

    You can buy over the counter hearing aids that are just as good for about $150. Consumer Reports reported that they are just as good.. generally things cost a lot because insurance companies increase the benefits for that item... so they charge everyone that price. This is not just hearing aids. This is every medical device or procedure. The more the insurance comanies are willing to pay.. the higher the average price goes. Also... if you dont use your insurance.. they will generaly give you a break, as well as if you decline the "free extras" that come with them that have increased prices by about 16%, such as free gas cards etc...

    just because apple releases something to the public first.. does not mean they inovated it. These designs were in prototypes from samsung and motorola 2 years before apple even had a concept of a tablet/smartphone. However since they released it to the public 2 months earlier they think they are gods.

    Japan is overcrowded and people crave ways to NOT be social. This is why the sony walkman became such a hit there when it first came out.

    beauty of the postal service is you CAN NOT opt out of junk mail. They must deliver every thing sent to you. Its the law.
