Maybe you shouldn't go by the opinion of a minimum-wage retail monkey. The people working at Best Buy are generally retail personnel, not music aficionados. Instead, ask one of your music nerd friends what band's he's listening to and THEN browse their selection.
I have found Best Buy's CD selection to be just short of exemplary. While I do have trouble finding some of the more obscure artists I've been recommended, it's rare that I find *nothing* I like.
I don't often buy CDs, but when I do I go to CD Connection (a local used CD trading post) or Best Buy. As far as Best Buy goes, though, in the past year, I've bought CDs from Dredg, Dispatch, Al Dimeola, Ours, and more. All terrific contemporary musicians who reach a disappointingly small audience.
"Tube of death", around 1926, which was mostly about a tube that transmitted moving light-beams and brainwashed everyone with stories about fictious people through their everyday lifes.
Off-topic, but what the hey...
Sometime, ask someone (who is not watching television at the moment) what the last program they watched on TV was. Odds are they won't remember... do you remember?
It's funny how passive an activity watching television has become. We go into autopilot as soon as it goes on.
Regardless, there's been quite a few given the extreme nature of the missions. NASA has a sterling record, but of course in the *very rare* occasion a shuttle accident happens it is ALL OVER THE NEWS.
But what're you gonna do...
...but is it *that* easy to make a digitally altered picture that's undetectable by professionals with regular imaging programs?
If, through some wacky chain of events, a digital picture of something becomes evidence, what's the loss in having a professional vouch that it is an unaltered (or altered) picture? From what I have seen, it's pretty easy to ferret out photoshopped images without the aid of additional (and probably easily circumvented) technology.
How do you explain Japan, then?
They have so much porno over there that it boggles my mind. And a population density of over 300 people per sq km.
I don't get the "people have less sex when they watch porn" reasoning. I think an older applicable adage would be "out of sight, out of mind".
Try Descartes' Meditations if you want to check out the OG of questioning.
As Plato said in Phaedrus, "the writer cannot determine his audience". and I have a feeling that most people who enjoyed The Matrix won't be able to handle lofty philosophical concepts, much less a fiercely logical structured argument for the existence of God and reality, without constant diversions in the form of gun battles, sex scenes, and other forms of violent eye candy.
Why are industry people there in the first place, to draw up the law?
That's easy. They needed consensual agreement to terms; otherwise they'd have to leverage their powers through the congressmen they bribe.
Bill Gates called a news conference at Microsoft HQ in Redmond Washington.
Gates had slated a news conference regarding Microsoft's long-awaited "Return of Clippy" office suite. Gates was reportedly wearing sunglasses and a t-shirt that had printed, on the front, "fuck you, I have enough friends". He was holding what appeared to be a forty-ounce bottle of Miller Genuine Draft. Pouring a small amount of his beverage on the ground, Gates quipped "fuck this, nigga gotta get laid," before laying a patch in his plum-purple '69 Impala.
Showing robust shareholder interest, Microsoft's stock rose ten points.

Until of course they go ahead with the IPO, become so top-heavy and ad-driven in a couple years that they topple over.
Enjoy it while it lasts.

Boy, NASA is sure fucking up... two accidents in forty years. Wish they had the trucking industry's numbers.
I'm sure the technology at the BP station is beyond my grasp, but that doesn't mean a high school football player can't pump my gas.

Compare the popularity of the show "BattleBots" with, say, "Boring Robots that Fix Boring Stuff".
I think my point is made.
You're right, they should have used a more fitting robot name. Sektor, or Cyrax, or Smoke. Stryker sucked... his fatalities were so lame.
I would call that a "loaded gun" fallacy. :)

Don't be so cynical. Wing Commander 2 will be in theaters soon... THEN we'll see who's laughing!
That doesn't work in a strategy game, so what do you do?
That's easy. You suckle on Sony's teat for four and a half years.

Shit, spawn camping would be forgivable in that case.
99-0?! Hrm... I guess it doesn't matter WHICH senator I write to then does it? :p
Why don't you give me a Congress who is somewhat familiar with technology? Anyone have any information on the committee(s) this bill went to?
