    the point is hear movie studios do not what such sites at all. weather they pay them or not. look at the little support they give sites that try to go legit. what if surf the channel said ok we will give you a cut of are ads so we can link all movies.for free the movie studios would tell them to burn in hell. they what control of all there media and do not what there monopoly broken. what if itunes went ad supported and said ok all movies and music is free couse the ads pay for it. the riaa and movie studios would have a fit. its all abought keeping a broken business model alive and they will fail at it but they gonna go down kicking and screaming and eventually accept it.

    i used to set these off all the time as a kid. theirs not a dammed thing destructive abought them. they just make a loud sound. just tosses some water and dry ice around a bit. and if you live by a lake that make cool dept charges hehe catch some fish easy with explosions. i hope this bs charge gets drooped when they go to court. even if it blew up the kids face it wouldn't hurt him. nothing pisses me off more when i see these story's kids experimenting with siance and you get bs charges by cops. like i said cops can trump up all the stupid charges they like i just hope there judge is down to earth and tosses the case before it goes anywhere.

    helium wile less flammable can still burn. but i don't think anything like that will happen. airship have a pretty good safety record. unlike aircraft where we have a major crash every couple years we only had 1 major airship crash . also its a good idea to fly low on anything with a uncompressed hall. we learned that in world war 1 lol. being we cant get enough air above 10000 feet. but airships can fly at 20000 if you really what to.

    macs used to be just as bad is pcs pre osx. it was the change to unix that made macs more secure then a pc. unix and its brother linux have one critical advantage over windows. you can upgrade the core of the os at anytime. so a pice of bad soft where can always be patched. this is why linux and osx maleware etc are short lived. as i tell users that ask me the question if linux can get infected i always tell them yes but if you stay up2date the chances of it are slim.

    thats what happond with dialup. free providers spread like wildfire and dialup prices nosedived. if google delevers free broadband to all that's what will happen with pay isps. thats the only way to force broadband prices down they need to compete with free. its the same for cell company's more providers need to come up with true unlimited 3g yes there are some like cricket but they are small and don't have a large user base or very large coverage.

  14. Re:This is a load of crap on Verizon Hints At Scrapping Unlimited Data Plans · · Score: 0

    cell phone data is different then you fiber or phone line to your house. you dsl cable fiber etc are all dedicated lines for data. so we can use it all we like without costing the isp tons of money to service us or effecting the speed. cell phones on the other hand use satellites and towers. the data you use to view your pics movies downloads and so on are all shared with the data used for voice calls. this isnt all abought cost hear if you totally uncap the data for all on a large network your going to quickly overload the network cousing voice calls not to work drooped calls and all out slowness across the entire network. this is why all big networks have low caps to prevent such a flood. smaller or slower nerworks tend to be alot more relaxed with there data plans. boost mobile and its cdma for example has no caps but of course its not much faster then idsn or low end dsl so you really cant abuse it. its not true for all providers however cricket is 3g and have no limits voice or data. but there also alot smaller.

    agreed and its not just some evil company wanting to do this its there investors. investors demand a company to grow every year in terms of profit. and if you don't your stock drops like a stone. its investors that need a frigging realty check. a company is eventually going to reach its max profit for its current setting like operating in the usa and not grow very much from year to year if at all. so company's have to keep moving to cheaper methods like lower wages and other cuts then move to china just to keep there investors happy. stand up and say no and say bye to your stock.

    wrong on some part there. you can still give percentages to employees and not hurt the customers. some company's in fact do use this system. you pay a hr wage then every quarter or so you give them a bonus check based on the percentage or total profit. this system seems to be a more solid way of giving employees a insentiv to sell but without it being based one each persons sales but the total of all people. nobody gets singled out for having low sales etc like with a commission based job. many company's use this system now.

    are economy is past the point of no return. the usa outsources everything. as you said lower wages and the mass loss of jobs. we are not going to bounce back from this like we did in the 80s. at least then we had some of are own jobs and company's.are government can throw money at all they what. look at are new health care bill that goes in effect in 2011. now your tax returns are going to get cut by 700$ a hear cause you aruldy cant afford the redclus health insurance rates because are government refuses to brake up the monopoly's and allow the free market to correct it with competing drug company's. less money for the people once again. they refuse to go after all the outsourcing and brings jobs back in the usa. are economy is finished and so is are government being when it does crash and it will and we will all still be alive to see it people will lose all trust in are current system and hopefully replace it with something that will actually work. but until you get rid of the ritch controlling are laws and a full crash will do just that no change is going to happen cousing the crash.
