the marketing costs are listed in the breakdown, but that list is less than honest. Is a video marketing? I would say yes. The cost of the video is actually shared with the artist, so half of that is coming from the royalties. Many of the costs listed are really pulled from the artist, so the numbers are pure for the record industry side, and cause bankruptcy for the artist.
The real costs are closer for the indies replying here, and the fluff of the industry is totally wrong. Hopefully walmart can get them to realise this.
This would be all fine and good, but you said "safest possible technology",and by this I thought that you meant the "safest possible technology". This would include large breaks, tight suspensions, computer corrected handling, roll detection, anti-slip monitoring, top end wheels and tires, etc. These things cost a lot. But since you meant seat belts and radiator hoses as the "safest possible technology", I guess what you're saying is correct even if it is completely rooted in fantasy.
Congressionally mandated safety has nothing to do with safest possible because every car manufacturer would go out of business in that model, which does no good for anyone. Including economically feasible now is silly, as your statement (if you need reminding) was "safest possible technology".
And, by the way, there are different levels of safety on different planes. Some have integrated parachutes, some have very accurate GPS and are rated to fly in worse weather than others, and some are built in people's garages or qualify as experimental. Not all have best possible, some have as much as the purchaser deems necessary.
It takes a single well paid experienced hacker a very short time to change A LOT of the ballots. It takes a retard at each polling place or box collection point to initiate each swap. Now, add in the fact that a box of ballots can be sealed with a label with a tamper evident serial number, the changes on electronic seem much more difficult.
So then, no car should be built without all of the safest available options. This would put the base level car well beyond the means of many people. So now, only the "rich" drive, the "poor" walk or ride bikes, and you will complain how it is unfair that everyone doesn't have access to cars. Safety has gone down in this scenario as getting hit by a car while riding a bike is always bad.
no no no... you should rent it out for 1$ a month starting now. Since there is little likelihood of someone getting there in time, you can rent it to A LOT of people, and use is first come first served. Now, you can rake in from a huge population segment for a few million years while waiting. The renters pay so low that they wont think of the insurance you are offering as expensive, and you will be rich as hell.
BTW, this is not the business model of the company I work for , nope, no way.
Never once did I state what you say I have stated. Challenge a theory all you want... that is the defining point of a theory. If it can survive challenges then it can stay. Replacing the theory from the start (ignoring all evidence gathered by the challenges to its statements) with a deeper theory that has to be correct because it can't be disproved has nothing to do with defining the question.
If you don't want your kids presented with any other ideas than what you think they should have, then I suggest you home school them. I'm not suggesting that teachers should be teaching the Bible, but to censor them from teaching anything other than what is in the textbook is just that, censorship.
Uhm, WRONG.
the textbook is approved for teaching specific subjects. Straying off to wherever the teacher feels like going is not education. There is a neat thing called a curriculum. I plan on teaching my kids my own version of the world also, but I am not going to force the world to tolerate my version of events. You are proposing teaching non-science in science classes. I would much rather have to add in my views on top of the generally accepted instead of having to explain away items that should not have been presented in the first place. The act of being taught non-science in science class wastes time.
Once upon a time it was completely hilarious when someone would say "I know its true, I read it on the internet". This type of sourcing is obviously worthless. When these were Joe Sixpack's homepages being quoted no one had faith in the facts without a bit more research. Now, Joe Sixpack adds his edit to wiki, and the world believes this EXACT SAME information as gospel. The GP has a very valid point, please find a better source than wiki... use wiki to start a hunt for sources, but please stop saying " I know its true, I read it on the internet".

> Beside I know heeps of kids that have high frequency ring tones so that their teachers cannot hear their mobiles ringing in class
My wife is a teacher, and she cannot hear the sounds from the official devices. We tested this because I can hear them, and I hate them with a passion. Anyhow... one of her students had the sound go off and apparently the phone in question could not get the frequency high enough. When she asked whose phone was ringing, the kid responded with "you're not supposed to be able to hear that."
funny. This is the exact reason I won't buy an "HD" television. The simple looking sticker actually has a lot of different resolutions, and until the final one is reached and settled upon, I'm not touching it.
No need for a class action or making a lawyer rich.
Well, unfortunately for me there isn't a different choice for state's rights and limited government. These are the issues that I vote on, and quite frankly, the rest of the candidates are pathetic on them.
I guess voting on the issues that I care about makes me a crackpot by association.
Hopefully at some point the internet will allow enough people to band together to actually avoid electing a typical worthless puppet at some point in my life.
This is why when I moved back to Ga I got an apartment near the Lindberg station. I had Peachtree, Piedmont, 400, the connector, and MARTA all at short distances. When I got a job I was going to have a semi quick shot at it, instead of trying to drive through traffic to the perimeter, and then through traffic to the office. Really, traffic inside 285 is light almost always (annoying as hell, but light).
At one point I was working downtown and my engine fully died. No big deal, I could walk 5 minutes to the train, and get to work in 20 minutes. Now I have a new job that isnt MARTA friendly, like most of Atlanta, but I chose to pay a premium to live inside the perimeter and have shorter commutes instead of purchasing gas and justifying the hours a day in my car. My time simply means enough to me to decide to spend my money on the location of the house.
Atlanta is a sprawling pain, but it can be dealt with.
Why is anarchy always depicted this way? At the moment a warlord has seized power as such, the anarchy is gone, and we are back under totalitarianism. If everyone had a proper respect for each other, and a proper fear of those who seek power and to control others for personal gain at the expense of others, then anarchy may just rise up and destroy the bastard trying to become warlord in charge.
This of course requires a bit a vigilance and personal responsibility, oh ya, and actually holding respect for others as a meaningful value, but is possible as long as we arent a world of sheep.
I have now tried to browse to a random smattering of recently entered domain names listed in this discussion in the last half hour, and all of them drop me right onto the "purchase this now" page at NSI. They aren't even trying to be sly about it.
And... "as low as $19.99"... I almost shit when I saw that.
I thought that plans for a bomb and correspondence with a group were both legal, unless the bomb plans were actually still classified. Possessing and using information are completely different, and until 6 years ago possession was not a crime. Gathering the information and linking it to the person carrying it would be evidence gathering more suitable to police or the FBI, not the TSA.

i think the .1 part is the subwoofer, but that is not required to only have the low tones. You can send a full spectrum through that line.

May I steal that last sentence for my .sig?
Depends on how fast the car is going, or how many LoCs it has on its trailer.
Why not check the wiki every five minutes. Whoever can keep their name in the article longest is the winner!

What exactly would I do with a message that says "you have about 3 seconds to live" ?
Im not sure we would get the shields up on time.
