Does the inverse apply? if the company tanks and you decrease revenue by 150%, do they take your pay back? No. So what you're saying is it's all upside and no downside. I'd have no problem with large compensation packages if the downside applied as well.
I went to Junior High with a guy whose name was "Tyrone Jackson", and he was a totally average white guy. Every year, at the beginning of the school year, the would call his name on the first day of class. When he'd say "here", there was always a two second silence by the teachers as they tried to figure it out in their head. Laughing always ensued.
But what if those 10 men were set in their life of murdering and raping because their families were bankrupted by the 100 corrupt bankers? Some of this is circular.
I had/have a Zune HD, and it was fantastic. It was also 1.5 years late to the party. The interface was far better than the iPods, but too little, too late.
This exactly. Had these a while back, perfectly fit what I needed, Except Sony's ridiculous DRM totally killed it. In car analogies, it was like a fantastically priced car that held 12 passengers and got 100 miles/gallon which looked like a Ferrari, but had square wheels making it undriveable.
I disagree. Just because you happen to be able to create music doesn't mean you're fantastic at engaging fans. Some are, some aren't. But saying their ability to earn a living should suffer because of something not directly related to their skill as a musician seems wrong. I'll also give you a hint: that thug ass gangsta rapper selling you CDs has no interest at all in music, he just wants your money. Here's a good write-up on that: http://blogs.laweekly.com/westcoastsound/2012/03/venice_beach_mixtapes_hustle_a.php
OH, that's rich! I a friend of mine, in Oakland, had a guy TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW violently try to break down her back door to get in. While this was happening,she called the police, and they said "we're busy, we'll be sending someone out shortly". Who never arrived. Twice. This to a woman home alone, who at the moment she's on the phone has a guy trying to batter down her door. He was scared away by neighbors the first time, the second time a large 2X4 buttressing the door kept him out. He hasn't been back, but he could be... Do you really mean to tell me that she, as opposed to some celebrity or politician, is getting the same level of response they would? Because you're completely, absolutely, hopelessly wrong.
But they were already using the apple logo, which already has protection. What we're arguing here is, if the store had the same layout, but with a gigantic "Kunming Komputers" sign, would it also be forbidden?
Trust me, look forward to the 787. I flew (coach) on a 380, worst flight ever. I felt like I was down in a dungeon-it's oddly depressing. The carpet was ripped in one spot and dirty, and they had ALUMINUM FOIL holding up something on the overhead bin, looked like some missing decoration of some sort. This on a plane out of Tokyo. The carpet and foil can be blamed on the airline being crap, but the feeling of being down in the depths of a barge was disturbing.
Unless you're flying business or first, then you'll probably have a different experience.
You had me up to "damn right". Why does Slashdot always have so many cheap shots? Hell, the original comment about French and cars was one itself. Then again, I guess that's just Slashdot. It's just that when I agree with someone, then they sneak in the annoying bit at the end, it bugs me.
In the US, PC Culture came down REALLY heavy on the term Oriental. You cannot use it here, at all. Even for Rugs, or someone will give you an odd look. It's essentially a banned word
yeah... you lost me here. Good job up until this point, though. I'm curious: Did you have a religion before Islam? If so, even non practicing, how would you feel if that religion had decreed abandoning it would be punishable by death?
They way they killed horse meat consumption in the US is a good lesson in US politics: They didn't ban consumption. They simply refused to allocate funding for inspection of the slaughterhouses. And since you can't sell meat for consumption without it being inspected.....poof, it's not salable
That's weird, here in the US, I've never bought any "hamburgers" that listed anything other than meat in their ingredients. I'm sure it exists somewhere, but I've never bought it.
Generally I agree, but there's one point that we may not see. It may be a common way in Thailand to refer to the king by covering your mouth, and this may be a known way of referring to him while not referring to him. Sorta like saying "the F-word" in the US. I don't know, but if it is,the sentence would make sense
PS: Bush hasn't been President for four years. Either use the current one in your analogy, or choose a doozy, like Millard Fillmore;)
There's a lot of pride among Thais about being the ONLY country in SE Asia what wasn't a direct colony of a larger power. They quite skillfully managed to retain their independence, even during WW2.
You left out the Constitution. For example, the only excuses for your mouth are eating and breathing. Therefore, I forbid you to talk. It's not worth it.
Yeah, you would. Haven't you ever had someone who state a position you agree with , but at the same time say something totally stupid alongside it, making you completely doubt their credibility? If not, then you really aren't very objective. If someone agrees with me but for totally wrong reasons, I wouldn't cite them as an example, I probably would make furn of them.

Wait, did you just compare an iPod to Martin Luther King Jr.?

I've got pay as you go, through T-Mobile. They expire after ONE YEAR. Adding any amount to the account extends the time for another ONE YEAR.

Wait, did you just make a stereotyping statement condemning an attempt at stereotyping?
Bravo, Well done!

lots of wood products and a good amount of ceramic stuff comes from there.
China's as much Capitalist as I am martian.
Of course, china's as much Communist as I am martian as well.

You could always hire them to collect from themselves...
