In a similar vein, I went to pull out some cash at the HSBC Arena in Buffalo recently. HSBC's headquarters is literally across the street. Come to find out, the ATMs were a white-label company I've never heard of before, based in Nashville, or someplace like that. After reading your post, I have to wonder if HSBC really owns them, and I got screwed out of an extra $2.50 for pulling out $60.
While I was in college, I knew a guy whose father had a similar job. He handled the tapes of current releases that went to the airlines. Needless to say, we watched a shitload of movies at his house, and there is at least one copy of each flick still there.
Except with P2P, you're helping to redistribute the property if it's in a shared folder. This would more like your friend standing on a busy street corner with his magazine yelling "step right up and read it - I already paid for it!"
It's not the downloading that is necessarily justified... it's the outrage of a civil matter being brought through the criminal process without any court involvement.
No one said that TV advertising would stop - just that growth would drop more than 50%. Even with gloom and doom predicition, how many people can really afford (or choose to pay for) TiVo, let alone digital and other premium packages?
Two of the biggest culprits behind "everyone is doing it" are Accenture and Mackenzie. I like one of Accenture's services "Human Performance" and of course they also list "Outsourcing". They are making a lucrative business out of going from company to company telling them which parts of the company to offshore and how to do it.
Accenture has been working with my employer off and on for the last two years. Plenty of product lines are now built by other domestic manufacturers that can make our product more cheaply - we just stick our own label on it now. The fun part is trying to get support for the product once it goes south on you. It's your name that gets dragged through the mud when the machine goes broke dick, not the outsourced supplier.
I've got news for you... Sears just did the same thing again within the last year or two. My wife was one of the seasoned full-timers that got let go. They've now got registers at the entrances to the stores, shopping carts for your goods, and now customer service people to be found.
Change the rules to suit the propaganda. When people are talking about OS', 99.44% of the time they're referring to PCs. Is it so hard to admit that Windows has huge marketshare simply because it's what has been put in front of the end user?
The stick grenades aren't stuck in the Wehrmacht soldiers' belts. (Disclaimer: clips on grenade heads were pretty uncommon). Other than that, they have done an incredible job modelling the gear. I did WWII re-enacting during my high school and college years, and have most of the gear seen in the screenshots sitting in my closet. The Kar98k, Moisin Nagant, P-38, PPSh-41, and MP-38 all get high marks, with the possible except of the G43, which looks like they modelled it with a bayonet lug it never had.
We made a 60mm mortar for use during WWII reenactments. No projectiles, just a shell made out of an empty 35mm film container. The fuse was passed through a hole drilled in the cap. A small pyrodex charge propelled the canister out of the tube, and gave us a little smokey airburst about 50 yards downrange, and 20 yards up. Tiny yes, but still fun.

I am so ashamed. Before even reading the post, my brain had already processed the title chant-style...
Jer-ry!! Jer-ry!! Jer-ry!! Jer-ry!!
So not only am I reading Slashdot on a Sunday, I've watched too much Springer. Ick.

Liberty is a standard kit in the sculptures series at Lego's Shop at Home store.

... not to mention an OS (yeah, we all know about free ones, but AOL users aren't the best candidate for that) and the AOL Office software.
Throughout human history, we've modified the appearance and behavior of living things through less drastic methods.
Hmm.... Silicone, saline, and botox immediately come to mind... especially in California. But that's OK. Go figure.

Or perhaps Father/altarboy for the clergy among us >:-)
... what was in the other hand.
A wee bit more light and faster shutter speeds would help next time.

If only this treatment was visited upon everyone else who didn't read the articles, slashdot would be a much better place.
It's just one person's opinion. I'd be much more interested in the context in which it was said.
This time, it's "read the fucking auction."
Sales are to US customers only and you must comply with Apple's iTMS terms of service.

.... that the one upmanship in tall structures seems to be isolated to Asia now?

I think you use the term "sane" rather loosely. "Idiotic" or "money-grubbing" might be better suited in this case.
She said the company had deliberately not publicized the counter experiment to keep from skewing how the surfing public would use it.
... and I wonder how much usage they've seen spiking the system since the article was published?
I'd love to see that kid's living room, seeing as he says his sister's door was 50 meters away from the muzzle of the spud gun.
