    car companies make money selling cars AND parts. Car dealerships( not owned by automakers BUT in partnership with them) make much more from parts and service than from car sales.

    encrypt private info you send in emails. Googles computers will not be doing any codebreaking on your free mail acount to try and sell you spy cams or penis pumps.

  7. Re:A partial solution worth trying on Analysis of Spam, and a Proposed Solution · · Score: 1

    well maybe we need to re-think who we target. Instead of trying to stop spammers from sending email, or stopping people who WANT to buy products sold through spam from doing so- WHY NOT FOCUS ON WAYS TO HELP SPAMMERS KNOW WHO THE SUCKERS ARE( and are not)?!?!?! If I was a spammer and I had a list of people who purchased from spam ads, and a list of people who did not I would not waste much BW on the non buyers. The trick is , however not to make a list of NON buyers available( cuz people who buy will sign up for that list) BUT to make a list of buyers available, so people will not buy to avoid being on that list.

  10. Re:Crap like this kept me off COmcast for years on Comcast Targets Internet "Abusers" · · Score: 1

    the caps are WRONG. They are wrong because the company advertises unlimited use at the high speed. They should be more honest AND also allow users to purchase higher/lower use acounts. They should also use throttling instead of caps.

  11. Re:Not quite film yet.... on Kodak To Stop Selling Film Cameras In U.S. · · Score: 1

    35 mm quality already exists in VERY high end pro gear. Many motion pictures are filmed in digital video, not 35mm film. Star Wars phanton menace for example was shot entirely on digital video not one 35mm panavision was used. It was then transfered to 35mm for release.
    35mm is roughly the same resolution as hdtv.

    all though i do, not all right wingers believe in God. Also very few claim that science has proved their belief.

    The planet MAY be getting warmer. Some studies have shown that this may be part of a common tren, it may not be. The cause could be CO2, most likely it is not. Nobody has any proof, so nobody has any right to claim that it is a "Fact" it is simply a theory.

    this is not true. Tax cuts during the reagan and kennedy administrations BOTH increased revinues. The deficit increased during the reagan years because spending increased FASTER than revinue. No matter how much you increase revinue from taxes, spending increases will keep you in the red.

  19. Re:The "message" on RIAA Calls Settlements Proof that Education is Working · · Score: 1

    That is not true. Just ask anyone in internet radio. Even non member bands are "considered" ,for legal and royalty purposes, to be RIAA members. This is part of US law.

  20. Re:Stealing music is still stealing on RIAA Calls Settlements Proof that Education is Working · · Score: 1

    Copying music is not theft of the music. It would be theft of the price of the CD, if you where gonna buy it anyway. But in most cases that is simply not true( with music anyway...it is often true with software). Copying DOES however dilute the value of the copyrighted article. So it does technicly take "money" away from the record industry. This is more like vandalism than theft however. The other issue is that file trading in MANY cases has been proven to , at the same time, increase sales of music( thus increasing marketablity thus increasing value) at the same time it "dilutes" the copyright if said music. So while you may be robbing peter, you are paying paul( perhaps much more than you took from peter). This makes copying music like vandelism by piccasso painting on my walls.

  22. Re:Musicians and Musicians on RIAA Calls Settlements Proof that Education is Working · · Score: 1

    Record companies PAY big bucks to "Give" songs away for free. It is called RADIO. They do this because getting songs for free increases interest AND sells records. The prolblem they have with p2p mp3 trading is not giving songs away, but losing control over the music. This eliminates their ability to decide who "makes it". It then makes the labels MUCH less important and entitled to less of the "pie".
