A few weeks back I was listening to "Tell Me More" on NPR. They have a "barbershop" discussion with "people of color". They were discussing the primary and one of the commentators said it didn't matter who got picked because he likes his president like he likes his coffee, black. If someone on a national radio program said, "I like my president like I like my milk, white," they would be fired in an instant.

The problem occurs when the board members and CEO's wrest control away from the shareholders. Owning stock is supposed to mean you own a part of the company. That should give you some say in how it is run.
How is that in any way fair or legal. The owners of a company should be able to direct it. Why should the board and CEO have final say? I thought this was a free market capitalist system?
or Rich Dude underpays his workers and uses an economically damaging manufacturing method. Rich Dude funds a "social welfare" group that lobbies for corporate "freedom". Things that will "level the playing field with other countries", like disbanding the EPA, or doing away with minimum wage. His accountants decide that these are necessary business expenses and tax deductible, it doesn't hurt that the organization he is donating to has no legal requirement to disclose donors.
Rich Dude's company banks the rest of his money to buy out competitors or seal up exclusive contracts with suppliers. Money in the bank gives him a pop star status and allows his company to throw lavish business conferences (for tax puposes) that happen to coincide with his birthday or his wife's. Rich Dude is able to borrow against the equity in his business and take a $1 a year salary, make it 50k if your not Steve Jobs. Rich Dude's vacations include stops to visit customers and become business expenses.
Meanwhile Rich Dude's money is being hoarded by his bank who is afraid to loan too much in this business climate. Workers (Rich Dude's) don't make enough to pay back loans. The bank eventually decides to loan the money out anyway and package the loans up so suckers will buy them as investments. Or the bank buys credit default insurance. The bank eventually crashes the world economy and that "social welfare" group I mentioned above uses the bad economy to convince people to make sweeping changes to regulations and laws. The country stagnates. Rich Dude can't figure out where his customers went, so he retires to 3rd world country and lives in luxury for the rest of his days.
Corporations are theoretically run by or to benefit their owners. Unfortunately our system has been corrupted so the corporations are now run to benefit the managers. The managers funnel the money to themselves and often seize a large ownership stake. They are trying to seize control of our country. The question is whether we will let them.
I don't think they can go on a fishing expedition. If they can prove you were part of a torrent swarm downloading something, you are technically downloading and uploading at the same time. If your friend rips his CD to mp3's and "loans" you some that he thinks you will like they can't do anything. They can only get you for distributing and that is impossible to prove if they just see files on your server.
I posted above, or I would moderate you up. Anyone who slows down will be overtaken and assimilated (best case), or eliminated. Read history. America would not be full of white people if Indians had domesticated animals, large cities, and guns.
Well, it wasn't really IBM, it was IBM mass, an independently operated subsidiary. They went bankrupt and most of their business is now handled by IBM mass new comp. OR There was a class action suit and we settled that for $.60 / acre, the lawyers made $10 million, but that settlement is complete and we have no further legal obligation.
Uverse does this, I set it to on-time recording and it always picks up afew minutes before and after. However it is not smart enough to use the same tuner if you are recording two shows in a row. It kicks off a new tuner for the new show and causes some problems if you are trying to record several things at the same time. I haven't had too many problems since there are 4 tuners, but it can be annoying.

I favor a penny tax on all trades instead of a minimum holding period.
haha, they encrypt everything now.
So this would be "conversion" rather then "theft".
I'm at 1GB for Picassa, I would love to get 10GB. Maybe it's because it is part of a custom domain...

Have you tried Google Listen for downloading podcasts? I just started using it and it is nice.

People pay taxes, corporations are legal people, so they should pay taxes.

Responsible and culpable are two different things.

I agree, breadcrumbs suck!
I'd love to get more information about how you are doing this.

Even Jesus preached separation of church and state: "And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him."
