Take the first letter of each name and you get Jarbo. I think they were going for Jar-Jar,but couldn't quite
pull it off without ESR
A reshuffle just prior to rolling out a major product launch. I think this bodes poorly. The Street may think this
is very proactive and a good move, but I've seen these things from the backend often enough I think it'll only be a
matter of time before they're circled like wagons with a bin lid over each's arse end.
Maybe they could cut costs..but, oh, I don't know.. hiring less lawyers to sue their customers.
You have to reconsider why they often refer to lawyers as 'Counselors'
"What do you think we should do, Bob."
"Sue them, sue the living daylights out of them!"
"Gee, Bob, I was asking about where we should get lunch, that's kinda harsh isn't it?"
"You pay me for advice, I give advice."
Primarily I think piracy may be because of price, but I think there's something to be said for availability. What I can't find at the music or video store, where am I going to find it? Oh, yeah, some guy on the internet recorded it, put together a professional little package, decent editting and all and made it available for just over media cost. Man, they call this guy a thief.
And exactly WHY is it always the first reaction of people like yourself to say "punish the rich and their tax cuts" when
Whoa, cowboy. Who said anything about punishing the rich, besides yourself? Disaster hits poor people and look how speedy the prez moves. Disaster hits business, industry or the rich and he moves considerably faster. BTW, of all that money to fix up New Orleans, how much do you think will really be spent on the areas worst affected? I can't see that bill being Billions of Dollars, not for a bunch of seedy old slums. I know what $25 million will do in terms of construction. Where's the billions going?
get those jackass Congressmen to stop spending money like it's theirs, knock it off with their bullshit pork projects, and give the money back to us since it's OUR money"?
Fastest way to a 50% tax cut is to stop deficit spending and pay off the debt. The government will need only 50% of what it collects for nonimal spending levels (unlike today's Spend Like There's Gonna Be No Tomorrow levels.)
The Greek thing may not be the best idea... after the big storms the US has endured so far, I doubt anyone would bee looking forward to HURRICANE OMEGA.
If it were french, some potlicker would say, "No, it's not Hurricane Pomme Frites, it's Hurricane Freedom!"
with any luck it'll hit the rich and loosen up some of those tax cut dollars into the economy.
They can't get a baby book out and look up a few more names? They didn't even get a name for ever letter of the alphabet?! What are we paying them for!!?
Very few do, anymore and this is more to your point. What else do people listen to radio for? Usually travelling from point A to point B, like I often do, but I'm fed up with broadcast so I got satellite. Sirius is about to shuffle their channels again on the 29th so we'll see what I end up with. Just don't touch my Radio Classics (Jack Benny, Abbott and Costello, George & Gracie, Fibber McGee, Great Gildersleeve, etc.) and English Premier League football.
Most people are either listening for traffic or talk radio.
Where I live you can find live music every day in a dozen places, a far cry from Karoke and DJ's back in the midwest where I moved from. So what's the outlet for people to learn of new music anymore?
Ahh, the hand that rocks the cradle of music will rock the world...
Sorry, but the gangsta rappers are still shooting at each other. When they are done, assuming they have enough guns and bullets left, I'm certain they would be happy to oblige. (Unless bribed with sufficient Bling-Bling to rub you out instead.)
From Ronald Eagleye, our on the spot reporter, Fenwick Finster was apprehended while recording FM radio
broadcasts on his digital video camera at the public swimming pool, after RIAA informers tipped off police. Finster claimed it was clearly a misunderstanding, though
he refused to explain why he was in the women's locker room with the video camera under his trenchcoat.
According to Jupiter Research, The days when a designer worked alone have been traded in for an interactive world in which designers often work hand-in-hand with developers. "Microsoft is trying to address what it believes is a legitimate and longstanding problem in the design market."
Designers work with dorks, who work with morons, sometimes with halfwits and often under the direction of the clueless.
Good plan, Microsoft, I see you have a solution that fits everyone, once again.
Consider that the one third of bots are now in the UK, where people bandwidth is the best over all. What's it going to be like when all of China is wired? (BTW, that is one of the PRC's goals, even remote farms without running water have DSL!)
Paparazzi Shields for famous celebrities. It's like a force field!
Ah, just a few years too late.
Dodi Fayed: "Paparazzi shields to maximum!"
Chauffeur: "*Hic* no problem! (gee, I'm soused, I think I can slow down and drive at a safer speed now)"
Dodi Fayed: "Now, where were we, my little princess?"
It was the coldest winter on record and the poor little match girl
found she could find no buyers for her wares and she began to shivver.
She lit a match and felt the warm glow of its meager heat before it burned down to her fingers and
she dropped it in the snow. Then she lit another and another until all her matches were gone and
she began to feel icy fingers of winter clutching at her tiny frail frame.
She moved along the street looking for an open door, shelter, any shelter. Then she thought, what's this?
She felt a deep warmth the likes of which she had not felt since her mother's embrace. It was glorious. She sat
down to rest and soon fell asleep.
And thus it came to pass, she was found roast to a golden brown, like a Thanksgiving turkey, before the offices of the Central Intelligence Agency.
Your point being injustice inflicted by indigenous peoples on their own is acceptable?
To them, or anyone else, yes. Amazing isn't it? One of the major reasons the United States resisted respecting international criminal courts was for fear of political reprecussions of turning US citizens over to foreigners to try. The US is only too happy to try and in some cases (like a mexican man in New Mexico) execute foreign nationals.
Their copyright laws aren't lax, but their enforcement is.
Their enforcement is no more, nor less than the government wants. Just enough to show some progress to appease business, but not enough to give them all they want, which leaves a bargaining chip. "What will you offer to me for this bargaining chip?"
This government isn't stupid and are well versed in getting what they want. It seems the west, the USA in particular, is constantly on the back foot when negotiating.
Their history is a long record of treating their own as bad as they've been treated by any other nation.
The difference, and something which americans seem to think only applies to themselves, this is chinese doing it to chinese, which is for the most part, quite acceptable. Many arabs feel the same way, which has a lot to do with the utter mess Iraq has become.
When the west carved up China, and Yankee Traders were looking for an in, past near monopoly by the british, the chinese were largely treated as second-class citizens in their own country, one with an illustrious and ancient history.
The West blames them for giving us opium. Given that how can the West understand a damned thing about the current behavior of China?
No kidding. Europe and the USA were in the process of carving up China like a roast turkey. A colony for me, a colony for you, a colony for the other guys, and one for you, too...
The great insult, when the british troops chased the dowager empress from the forbidden city, though they'll easily overlook the decadence of the manchus, and the west backing the utterly crimal KMT was harder to overlook than Mao's follies which cost tens of millions to famine.
An man from China once said, China has every thing, what could the rest of the world offer in trade? The answer was thest addicting millions to opium and fighting the boxers and chasing the empress from her throne for the right.
Looks like the party is going to be over for Chinese downloaders.
But more importantly how will this lawsuit turn out in a place known
for its lax copyright laws?"
This round? Probably something in spirit in favor of the RIAA, but still not as
well enforced or as speedily as they would like. Not as fast as, say a tune with
the lyrics like "Taiwan Independence Day, Hooray!" or "Falun Gong, get it on", where everyone would
remark at the swiftness and finality of their enforcement.
But with the looming US debt owed to China, how long before they say, "No, Yankee, we don't feel like it.
What are you going to do about it" and grin the grin of one who knows they hold the other by the short
hairs?
China has a track record of honoring treaties and peace when they have larger goals in sight. Once they have
achieved those goals... The West will see how much they really care what the rest of the world has to say and tell
it what opinion it should share of the great PRC.
They're patient, they've put up with hundreds of years of crap and they know it. Has the West forgotten?
There has been a growing concern among investors over the company's prospects. Its shares dropped 28 percent in New York Wednesday after two analysts warned the stock was seriously overvalued.
