Yes, but the wheat in the bread is subsidized by the government making bread's price lower than it should be, and the price of prostitution is artifically high because of its illegailty. Therefore the ratio is completely off what it should be in a truely free market driven by supply and demand.
Actually, it's highly unlikely that any of the money from his purchase of stock went to Take Two, unless he bought the stock as part of a new offering.
The money would have gone to whomever was selling the stock at the time. So, at some point in the past money was handed over to the company, but in the aftermarket for stocks the money doesn't go to the company.
Something interesting to consider is that he now owns a portion of the company, and therefore benefits in some small way from the publication of the games he is trying to stop. So in some small way, the blood he claims is spilled due to these games is on his hands as well.
Granted I don't have a huge library of GBA games, but I've never had any problems using the DS to play any of them.
In fact, I liked playing the Minish Cap better on the DS than SP because the start button was placed where I could reach it easy to switch weapons.
Not saying I don't believe you, just haven't seen any of those issues myself.
I work at the University of Southern Indiana, and the map has it as Indiana State University. Granted, they were affiliated, but that was something like 15 years ago. Other than that, it's awesome
I had a similar problem with my lancer, but it ended up actually being a problem with the tank...which they determined aftaer having replaced the gas cap, the fuel pump and several other parts along the fuel line.
I'm not sure how it works in other states, but I'm fairly certain that in Indiana you are supposed to declare purchases of this nature and then pay the sales tax when you do your tax return.
I doubt very many people actually do this, so the state loses out on that income, which is the main arguement against the ban in internet sales tax.
If you tax sales rather than income, that has an unfair effect on people scraping to get by, while assisting people that save their money, not contributing back to the economy.
To say that the only way to contribute to the economy is to spend is a gross error...lets say that savings is put in the bank. That money doesn't just sit there, it is used by the bank to make loans to other people who use that money to purchase goods & services, invest, etc.
Savings/investment plays a vital part in the sucess of any thriving economy
However, I do agree that switching to a flat sales tax pushes the overall tax schema towards a regressive stance, thereby hurting those scraping to get by more than those more well-to-do
Even if it is in Word format, there are free readers readily available...if it's an issue of having to download that program, in order to read pdf files I have to download acrobat reader...
I'm not sure about Replay doing this, but TiVo does collect info about viewing habits (some very specific info)
Granted, I think it's kind of cool to learn this kind of info, and since it's all aggregate info I don't really see the harm...selling this kind of info might be saving us a few bucks on our subscription.

In the editorial, the author complains about commericalization of the event...but when else is a 1.5 hour news conference given by NASA going to be broadcast uninterrupted by commercials on CNN?
I sure haven't seen one on there in quite some time...I thin CNN had far fewer commercials on Saturday than they have on any other given day...

So monopolistic practices are ok when done by Apple (iTunes/iPod), but not by Microsoft (Windows)...

Yahoo also has the resources to fight back against Hasbro, whereas this Jared guy probably doesn't

Also the cost of food has risen, so combined with the fuel cost rise and without a coresponding rise in wages, discretionary spending has to fall.
Ok, it doesn't have to, as the average american does have a substantial credit card debt, but that's another story.

An even bigger streth would be to charge them with posession of stolen propert, but I doubt many courts would be ok with that definition of property
When I first read through that and saw him mention "western" songs, I thought of Country-Western...
Just think how scary a Dixie Chicks version of La Bamba or Alan Jackson doing Mambo No. 5 would be...ok, the second one could be pretty funny
