Do you have any idea of how big that company is? In how many countries it's incorporated? And you want to blame all on one tiny part - if teh allegation turns out to be actually true?
Oh, I know you'd love to establish a slave society where you could ride above it all, commanding obedience from those less politically evolved than you. I'm afraid, however, that you live in a world where pretty much everyone in the US is fat, dumb, happy, and wonderously well over-fed, and likes it that way.
There are a number of lesons to take from this.
1. Don't get between an American and the American's food bowl.
2. Don't disturb the American's food bowl.
3. Don't bother the American, CSI is playing.
Do any or all of these long enough, and we will nuke you.
I mean, we're all about the pursuit of happiness.
Leave us alone, and the 5% of us that are intellectuals will dazzle you and the world.
China is what it is because of grim leftists like you. America is what it is because of happy epicureans like Belushi.
I prefer Belushi to you. You're a little too pinched.
Did you know that arrestees worldwide now demand their Miranda rights?
Well, as I lie here on my bed, TV in front of me (a Hannibel Lecter movie of one sort or another running - pigs are involved), laptop slightly closer and also in front of me, NETGEAR WG511 doing its thing, I sorta feel your worry.
Though, being married, my balls aren't something I have to worry about any more. They're in a jar somewhere around here. Sigh.
I'll bet there's a Mil Std somewhere that requires the equipment to be resistant to everything from sea-salt to EMP. This adds cost. Probably for no actual good. However, as one of my commanders once told me "regulations are writen in blood."
$1400 may sound expensive, but what price on a life?
Anyone who lisens to the BBC world service is already used to this. Biofuels will cause deforestation and starvation, hydroelectric dams cause the release of greenhouse gases, etc., etc.
What do we do for a living, ladies? Kill! Kill! Kill!
Oh, BTW, the/. lameness filter killed the full effect of this post. I went for all caps in the blockquote bit. You know, to fully capture Hartman. And his effect.
That said, IT does make an awful lot of noise. I mean, worse than that awful "Hip Hop" stuff. And the odd collection of beings that show up to challenge it, well! The neighborhood will never recover.
Just yesterday, an Orc stepped in my RosePlusPlus bush and....
In my Atlanta neighborhood, we've got a new Wal Mart where Chamblee-Tucker T's at Peachtree Industrial. It's a true one-stop for just about anything you could want, from food to building supplies. I sometimes go just to walk the aisles, see all teh stuff, and marvel at the prices.

I attributed your original post to a lame attempt at humor.
I see now that you are a well-indoctrinated, humorless moron.
Please forgive the mistake, and good luch with the rest of your empty life.

Shibboleth. In the original meaning.
You're not terribly smart, are you?
Forget actual facts, this is /..
Instead, spice up your remarks with vulgarity, ad hominems, and Simpsons extracts.
You'll be posting with Excellent karma in no time.
My remarks to Vexorian apply to you as well.

"When nobody else is worried about your obsessions."
Obviously your propaganda feed is a little different from my news feed.
I've not been here for the entire ride.
You don't make me laugh. Work on it.
What I lose on the anti-global warming posts, I make up on Simpons-based cracks.
The sort of story /. would just have to disseminate.
/. is increasingly an anti-American, leftist swamp, of no real importance to anyone?
Does anyone else out there have the feeling that
The rest of the world cares not at all about your concerns.
Pity, that.

I just added a remark something like yours.
To amplify your comments, here in Atlanta, I've seen Marines at REI picking up all sorts of gear.
I was making a smartass remark. Really.

Yeah, well, the wifi thing will probably get "verified" too.

That just about covers it, I think.

IPv4 runs out, bamboo flowers for the first time in 150 years. Can't be a chance, can it?
Thank you.

I apologize for my cluelessness. Please explain.
And before you set up your pillory, I heard this on The Simpsons, so it must be true!
