    it got you to watch.. that pilot (other than ads on the sci-fi channel ads itself> was marketed using reverse psych.. EJOlmos was deliberately quoted as telling purist fans of the original "don't watch this"

  16. cable rates and monopolies. on Comcast Wants To Buy Disney For $66 Billion · · Score: 4, Insightful
    is there any better proof that comcast seriously overcharges consumers for services than this type of expenditure?

    cable companies are as weird a governmental supplied monopoly as baseball.. they have far to much a stranglehold over their individual market, and not enough oversight...

  25. Re:My Rights Online on HP Discusses Anti-Counterfeiting Measures · · Score: 1
    It is a lame argument
    Ya know, OP asked for an example how it infringes on his rights. I came up with one..

    I don't think it's a stellar example, it was first thought out the barrel.

    it doesn't matter, I was giving an example.
    there's a Issac Asimov short in "I, Robot" where Susan Calvin and whatshisname (head of USrobotics) are arguing about the removal of a small part of the 1st law of robotics, she offers to give ONE example of how this 'small removal' could endanger human beings if it will end the argument, he agrees, she supplies a LAME ASS argument of what COULD apply..
    the point is, it DOES IN FACT infringe on your ability to express yourself. IN FACT, this is under "FREE PRESS" not "FREE SPEECH" I shall have FREEDOM OF THE PRESS- and this, by the government, restricts my FREE PRESS..
