Your right, the walmart model was replicated quite well, I'm not sure what these guys are talking about. Walmart treats its workers like absolute shit, they are overworked, underpayed, and undervalued, the Pentagon and the Administration have nailed that one, holding the indentical attitude towards American soldiers. And they replicated that wonderful walmart folksy republican propaganda almost verbatim, a nice value added meme for their legions of flag waving patriotic consumers....
What did he eat? What did the bugs eat? And where? Did they get a wholesale discount?
And what the hell is this on page 5 of that silly article linked in the headline?

CureImmune has recently lowered their prices, and I have spoken directly with them about Morgellons and Lyme Disease, and the benefits of taking Taurox.
Call Sharon now and use the following Code Number and because we are people "greatly in need," you get an additional 15% discount off of the price.
Because Taurox works on the immune system, it is not recommended that you take it while you are on immuno-suppressants, (such as cortisol or hydrocortisone,) or anti-inflammatory agents. Do not take this if you have had an organ transplant.
Do not stop taking Drug Treatments for Morgellons!
AMD has the memory controller on the CPU as well, while Intel needs to waste a few watts powering their northbridge in addition to the CPU. This puts the Turion 'T' varients (25 watts) in the same ballpark as the high speed Pentium M parts (27 watts plus the northbridge). They are both great CPUs, unlike all that desktop cludge Intel is selling.
'High Degree Of Likelihood' For AMD Win Against Intel 06.28.05, 2:33 PM ET
Wells Fargo Securities said there is "a high degree of likelihood" that Intel (nasdaq: INTC - news - people ) will be found guilty after Advanced Micro Devices (nyse: AMD - news - people ) filed an antitrust complaint against Intel in U.S. federal district court. Wells Fargo said its view that Intel will be found guilty "is based not only on our reading of the complaint, but also on Intel's agreement this spring to proceedings in Japan that alleged many of the same actions as well as AMD's previous victory in a protracted legal procedure against Intel regarding access to intellectual property." The research firm also said, "The extensive nature of the citations, with specificity as to both the timing and nature of the alleged infractions, would appear to set up a logical presentation of the case to a jury." Considering different scenarios of damage awards to AMD, Wells Fargo said there is about a 75% probability for an award of about $8 per share. A ruling favorable to AMD would also likely benefit future earnings, to the tune of adding about $8 to $12 to the price target. Wells Fargo rates AMD at "buy" with a $25 price target and said, "We continue to view AMD as one of the most attractively valued equities in our coverage universe."
Market share is not the determining factor in deciding on whether a company is a monopoly. Standard oil was a well known monopoly, yet they didn't have %100 market share, yet they did control the price of oil on the market.
A monopoly is also determined to be a company that is able to exert nearly total control over prices within the market, one that is Price-fixing. Establishing the price of a product or service, rather than allowing it to be determined naturally through free market forces. If you'd read AMDs' complaint you'd see that is exactly what they are attempting to demonstrate, they make a very strong case.
Intel has 82% of the market by shipments, earns 90% of the dollar revenue spent on x86 chips, and blows billions a year on silicon payola to ensure a lack of competition in the marketplace. They are obviously a monopoly, you'd have to be a poorly educated American to think otherwise, in all honesty;)
The real question is can AMD get enough suits from the OEMs to show up to tell the jury in public the things they say to each other in private....
Well said, but perhaps this isn't about making a high quality lock, how would the anti-virus folks make any money if everyone had really good "locks"?
A massive outbreak of nasty worms and virii every couple months gives them tons of free advertising and must help out sales by a nice amount. Hell, it probably doesn't cost much to have a 'good' virus written, especially if your quarterly reports need a nice boost...
Bush's Tactics In Terror Case Called Illegal by Greg Sargent
A bipartisan group of prominent New York lawyers, former federal judges and former government officials has launched a fierce attack on the Bush administration's conduct in the war on terror, charging that the detention of suspected terrorist Jose Padilla is unconstitutional.
The group, which includes a number of former high-ranking officials in Republican and Democratic Presidential administrations, made the accusation in an amicus brief filed in federal court in New York on July 30. The brief concerns the legal plight of Mr. Padilla, whose case has attracted international attention since he was arrested in Chicago for his alleged role in an Al Qaeda plot to detonate a radioactive "dirty bomb" on U.S. soil.
Mr. Padilla, who has been held incommunicado in a naval brig since June, hasn't been formally charged with a crime and has been denied access to a lawyer. The Bush administration's conduct poses an urgent threat to the Constitution and to the rule of law, the brief's signers say.
"This is an extraordinary case," Harold R. Tyler Jr., a former federal judge and longtime Republican who was brought in by President Gerald Ford to clean up the Justice Department after Watergate, told The Observer. "We have in this country something called habeas corpus, which guarantees that a person who is held incommunicado has to be produced in a court. The people in the government seem to have forgotten that. They should charge this man if they've got something against him. And they should give him right to counsel. These are all constitutional rights."
Mr. Tyler, who as deputy attorney general under Mr. Ford was also an important mentor to a young prosecutor named Rudolph Giuliani in the mid-1970's, continued: "I have been a longtime Republican, but I'm a disenchanted Republican in this case."
The brief assails the Bush administration's handling of the Padilla case in blunt terms, describing it as "one of the gravest threats to the rule of law, and to the liberty our Constitution enshrines, that this nation has ever faced." A copy of the brief, which was filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, was obtained by The Observer.
Mr. Padilla, who was designated an "enemy combatant" by President Bush in June, is being held in a military jail in South Carolina indefinitely. Because of the fundamental constitutional questions at the heart of the case, his situation has been loudly debated by pundits and elected officials, and a range of legal groups on the left and the right have weighed in with a half-dozen briefs on his behalf.
But this latest legal salvo is extraordinary for a number of reasons. Unlike other briefs, which were offered by groups that often weigh in on controversial issues, the signatories of this one are cautious legal professionals who tend to avoid public involvement in politically charged debates. What's more, several of the signatories charging the Bush administration with violating the Constitution are active members of the Republican establishment.
In addition to Mr. Tyler, another signatory is Philip Allen Lacovara, former president of the District of Columbia bar and former deputy solicitor general under President Nixon who became part of the Watergate prosecution team. Mr. Lacovara also donated money to George W. Bush's 2000 Presidential effort.
Other signatories have worked in various jobs in the U.S. national-security bureaucracy. Robert M. Pennoyer, for instance, is a well-known New York attorney who was a high-level official in the Department of Defense under President Dwight Eisenhower.
"These are people who have served in government and who have very different points of view on a whole range of things," said Michael Posner, the executive director of the Lawyers Committee for Human Rights, which helped draft the brief. "But they are coming together in support of basic constitutional principle
I'm sure those crip electricians are working overtime on this one. Why blow $25 on a saturday night special when you can build your own gauss gun, not to mention ammo? Are you aware that they generally don't get caught killing people anyway? The cops couldn't care less, as long as they are blowing away other gang members, get a clue.
Actually, from a New Zealand perspective,(make that a human perspective) the article is balanced. From a rather twisted American perspective where the moderates are considered left wing, I guess it just might look skewed...
I have 'watched' the vote in Minnesota as well. One thing that should be pointed out to everyone, each state and county has their own rules, which may be extremely different from their neighboring counties, and states, everyone has different rules for voting procedures. There is no real federal standard for how voting is done... The entire system is built for rigging, much like a MS DLL:)
If you think voting isn't 'fixed' in some parts of America your a wee bit dumb, and probably a Republican;)
Apple had 5.5% of the world market in 1996, this dropped to 3.2% back in 1998, further down 2.8% in 2000, and fell to 2.4% in 2002. Apple now (q2-2003) has 1.9% of the worldwide market, powerbook sales are down over 40% in the past two years...
Some mac users like to pretend that Apple has 15-20% of the total existing computer market, often citing 'macs last longer' as their excuse (not realizing their mac parts are coming out of the PC parts bin...). This would be somewhere around 175 million computers, yet Apple has only made about 6 million iMac machines since May of 1998... In the past 10 years apple hasn't sold 40 million, much less 175 million computers. So you can write this 'fact' off to the reality distortion field as well...
(figures from Gartner, Merrill Lynch, and IDC)
FYI; I first used Apple computes back in 1980, and as far as I can tell, the company has gone downhill since the Apple III and the amazing 'Lisa'...
Methinks you should go read Reefer madness. The 'Drug War' is nothing but a psychotic persecution of American citizens and poor central american farmers by satanic puritans and their profit loving friends in 'law enforcement'...
Compelling enterprise product? Perhaps for some, but 'Infinitely more expensive then Linux', doesn't sound as nice as 'Cheaper then Windows', eh? Not to mention, 'Vastly more expensive hardware coupled to a proprietary hardware platform' just doesn't sound all that inticing either.:)
