They indirectly pay the radio stations to play only their songs? How is the situation today arguably different than when they were being busted for the payola scandals a few decades ago?
The internet's changing things, but that doesn't do much for the people who signed with the labels five years ago.
Where there's competition. I can choose between 5 Mbps cable modem and 30 Mbps FIOS, which means the cable company is busting their hump. My parents on the farm get to choose between dialup and smoke signals.
It would be much cheaper to build an earth-based self-sufficent shelter that could survive something like a K-T event than it would be to build a self-sufficient moon base. Hell, they'd be identical in design except one wouldn't have to be, uh, moved to the friggin' moon.
And of course the kicker is you can be damn sure the Soviets were tracking it too. Even if it were possible for the US govt to fool the American people, the Russians would have sported major wood at the thought of exposing a fraud like that.
Oh please. Capital is usually the most limiting factor in an endeavor. Ask anyone trying to start a restaurant. Any putz can wait tables or wash dishes. *Nothing* relevant is going to happen unless someone is willing to front the money. And that someone is pretty much always a person who has saved and invested money, or a bank/investment fund handling the money of people who've saved and invested money.
You know, there's a reason they call it capitalism instead of laborism.
Maybe he's married. When you're married, consumption always rises to meet or exceed income:). You have to have a lot of money to retire early if you're married, or have a frugal wife.
If they declare it properly, they have to pay income tax on the money they get from the business. Dip into the till, and it's tax free income, baby. Even lowers the amount of tax the company has to pay.
They'd need to know your address and how many people are in your household. You know, what they collect every 10 years in the census. And I imagine that if you wouldn't want to tell them where to send the prebate check (which is the same for every citizen, no matter their income level), they'd be OK with that.
They were willing to have a cease fire. With no occupation. No war crime trials. The lunatics would have stayed in power. That was unacceptable to the US and British. So, fuck 'em.
From what I've read in the papers lately, it's more likely you'll be blown up by a diesel/fertilizer truck bomb than shot dead. Looks like if the US wants to keep the terrorists out, it needs to build a couple thousand mile wall on the north border, too.

Put them in stocks. With a basket of rotten fruit and tomatoes conveniently located nearby.
No, darning is yet another technique.

Um, you know that when someone says they voted for Bush, that maybe they voted for him in 2000, but not in 2004, right?
Here in Texas they can arrest you for being drunk in a bar . . .
What do you mean you can't eat them? I've eaten rattlesnake. Tastes like chicken.
Um, about half of all children of heteros are accidents. Not a lot of gay couples have unplanned children.

So, you concentrate on what you're going to say when you talk back to the radio? You know, they can't hear you.
Just don't pump the G-23 paxilon hydrochlorate into the air.
So, if the neighbor kids play hopscotch on the sidewalk in front of your house, you call the cops on them?
Gee, that kind of thing happens when most of your money is in AOL/Time Warner . . .
Do you know jack fucking shit about Warren Buffet and how he made his money?

Can always get them from China. Most of the people on this planet aren't fundamentalists.

SGI was screwed when 3DFx, NVidia and ATI started making 3D graphics cards.
Hate to break this to you, but in capitalism, the price of everything is based on what someone thinks it is worth.
You sound like someone who started buying tech stock in 1999 and sold in 2002. Works a lot better when you buy low and sell high.
Companies wouldn't be buying ads from Google if they didn't think it made them money.

Have you tried ripping an iso to your HD and playing that way?
