There is no such thing as MP3s. I triple guarantee you, nobody is violating any copyrights on KaZaA, never! The RIAA are a gang of international criminals and mercenaries! They will be welcomed with DDoS attacks and shoes! The all of the lying RIAA infidels will be slaughtered, most of them!
I have found the Antec SLK3700AMB, but cannot verify that is has a filter, though I have been told it may have.
Yes, I have that case, and it has a good filter.
Wireless communications are impossible! The Koran tells me so! It is a fabrication of the American TV news media! I triple guarantee you there is no such thing as electromagnetic waves! Lies!
Marketing: Propaganda and manipulation intended to make fools think something is worth more than it really is.
Regular Price: A completely outlandish sum that no one would ever or does ever pay for an item.
Sale: It used to mean when the products are a little less of a ripoff than usual, but since everything is always on "sale" now, it is very common to find something on "sale" at "50% savings" that is still a major ripoff and can be found at other stores for much less.
Value: The lowest possible price at which the item can be legally obtained by a consumer. Commonly misquoted at 3-4 times reality.
the reason you haven't seen any is because there are hardly ANY products sold at WorstBuy &c without mail-in rebates these days. It's a fucking pain in the ass that wastes postage and sales tax, and allows them to sell your personal info without permission. They should be banned.
What the hell is the point of having instant rebates instead of just lowering the price? The only result is extra sales tax, and possibly a few idiots might think they're saving more money because the "regular price" is supposedly $xxx, without bothering to go check another store where it's being sold for half of the other store's "sale" price.
So the way to combat this is to just boycott products that have all those annoying rebates. If a similar item has an up-front price of $2 more than the after-rebate price of an item with a shitload of mail-in rebates, get the no-rebate item instead. You'll save yourself that much money in postage anyway.
Plain and simple. The whole purpose of rebates is to rip people off by maximizing the likelihood that they won't get it, for whatever reason. For example, making it look like junkmail when it finally comes after 6 months and the person has already forgotten about it. Or they could just "lose" half the rebates, and nobody would ever notice because they're not guaranteed to come back within a year anyway.
The only legitimate purpose of rebates is to give the rebate supplier what amounts to an interest-free loan with no deadline to pay it back.
IMO, rebates should be banned. They're just a pain in the ass. I want to be able to buy a pack of 100 CDRs for $10, not $48.99 minus four separate $10 mail in rebates. The fucking postage costs more than the interest they're collecting on it for 4 months. It's an economic waste.
There is no such thing as a wedding band. It is called a wedding ring. He should be hit with a shoe for saying such a thing. That name is a fabrication of the corrupt dogs in the jewelry industry.
There is no internet. It is a fabrication of the online news media. Those infidels should be hit with a shoe. I triple guarantee you, you are reading this message on paper, not on the internet. I speak only the facts.
These so called "electrons" are a fabrication of the american news media. I triple guarantee you, there are no electrons in my CPU, never. Do not believe the lying infidels. My CPU is powered by the will of Allah, not imaginary "electrons". All of the electrons are committing suicide at the logic gates of my CPU as we speak, if they even existed, which they do not.
That is a lie. There are no such things as "packets". They are a fabrication of the American news media. These so-called "1"s and "0"s are committing suicide at the logic gates as we speak. Praise be to Allah!
Linux does not exist. It is a fabrication of some unemployed geek infidels to slander Microsoft. There are no bugs in Windows, never! Our glorious leader Bill Gates has forbidden bugs, therefore there are none! Do not believe them!
Wireless communications do not exist. They are a fabrication of the American television media. There are no electromagnetic waves, never! Do not believe the lying infidels. I blame Al-Jazeera; they are propagandizing for the Americans.

I'm talking about INSTANT REBATES, you clod. There's no paperwork. It's just deducted from the price at the cash register.

There is no Doom 3. It is a fabrication of the desperate ID software infidels. Even as we speak the source code is deleting itself.
