The Corporations control of media with the Advent of the Internet is weakening.
The sole motivation of a corporation is to make money.
Mass comunication is mass acceptance. Thus the more people that hear the Corporate PR the more accepted it is as "fact" or "truth".
If a company can use the media to sell a product that is harmfull/dangerous/deadly, to the consumer
then they will. If they think they can get away with it.
IF a company can alter the product to improve yeilds and/or maximise profit by any means available regardless of effects on the environment or health of consumer they will.
IF a company can dump toxic waste and the fines are cheaper than proper disposal? well you get the picture.
We are in a society where it is not safe to assume the food at the grocery store does not contain posions and carcinogens, where the cars we drive destroy the environment et cetera.
The Internet is a tool for the dispersion of information in all forms be it code, poetry, art, or most importantly the information to make informed decisions appart from the hype and PR that companies use to make us purchase crap wether we need it or not.
The large Corporations see the Internet as a threat to their choke hold on the consumer. They want people to eat what they shove down our throats and say mmm please sir can I have some More.
They are invoking the legal Demons to make it illegal for us to speak out against them. Illegal for us to change the ways of of world. They will use any and all tools at their disposal to protect their empire.
Corporations are amoral evil gluttonous creatures who have no more empathy for the consumer than a wolf has for a sheep.
They see the revolution coming and are attempting
to make walls illegal so as not to be the first against it.
I can understand not being able to fast-forward through the fbi warning.
BUT, some dvd's are locked so you have to sit through the stupid comercials and trailers. One I have (can't remember the title) has approx 10 minutes of crap you have to get through.
I mostly watch dvd's on my tv with a sony player.
so I'm not sure if you can skip over it on a computer.
I hate this facist intrusion into my living room,
I bought the movie, they have no right to force me to watch their commercials every time I put the dvd in the player. I wonder if we could bill them for advertising in our living rooms? How much is a 60 second spot worth?
It's amazing the gall of Intel. They overclocked the crap out of the p3 to get it to 1ghz.
oh I'm sorry its increase yeilds when they do it.
Now they spawn out this paper 1.13 processor. they should have just made a recipe.
take one p3 processor
add 1 dumbed down vc820MB (to improve stability)
limit the board temp to 62C and add a big HSF(cool that baby way down)
crank the juice way up.
tweak the multiplyer
and voila you get 1 genuine intel OC'd to the tits 1.13 ghz processor.
One point people seem to neglect when slamming intel is the lengths they've gone to OC this dated processor in an attempt to beat AMD.
The athlon 1.1Ghz will run on any socket A MB at most with a bios update and they had one running at 1.1 in march.
Intel is jamming FUD down the uninformed throats in an attempt to stem the blood loss until they can rush the P4 out the door.
