"I've come to simply expect that corporations are in full swing of subjugating the general public."
"There's a word for that system of government: Fascism."
Fascism is a power-triangle between the military, politicians, and an aristocracy. It was a Roman invention - Rome was a fascist state. The Germans added racial components, some romantic fairytales, and voila -- nazism.
The complete melding of corporations and government is the definition of communism.
Why doesn't Apple Computers change to strictly "Mac" terminology? It's not like they're using all different apple names in their products (Granny Smith, Red Delicious, etc).
For me, the last good episode was when Barney sobered up. That was a sure sign that they took themselves far too seriously, sending this "social message" at the price of a prominent character.
Cassettes sound a LOT better if you only use one side. (Of course albums were almost never sold that way.)
I have to admit, iTunes has temporarily killed my appreciation of music. Making playlists is a tedious task of sorting and searching for songs I like -- which means having to listen to songs I DON'T like in order to weed them out.
I have played all of my favorite albums to death... I don't enjoy any of them anymore.
It's much like a drug or any addiction - once you get all you want from it, then you become numb to it, and you barely enjoy it, and then it's just DULL.
The only way music excites me now is by hearing those songs on the radio, where it's comforting to know that I am not the only loser who loves a certain tune...
Put quite frankly, I respect her so much I can't even imagine blowing a load on her face (unless she really did want it)
It sucks, I know... it hurts to think about it, let alone accept it, but you have understand that's precisely what women have fantasies about. All women, the good ones, the bad ones, your mother and mine (NO offence - I'm sorry, but I'm just making a point).
I am sure your new lady is a fine woman, and love and respect is ALWAYS more valued, but trust me... I hate it when good guys have their hearts broken when they inevitably discover that the best of all women long for those things. Because they do.
That reminds me of film legend Ed Wood (Jr). He directed a classic anti-porn "expose", The Sinister Urge in 1961. His every film after that slowly became more risque, until he finally started making softcore and even slightly hardcore productions.
(He was also known for wearing women's underwear, and one interpretation of his 180-degree attitude is that of a microcosm for his own personal sex life.)
I have always felt that 1 is declared prime artificially. It is a human convention needed to support mathematic interpretations.
Perhaps nature - physics and such - actually treats it as prime.
Stealing gum does not just damage the merchant, it is a direct assault on the Motherland itself. The damage incurred to the state economy is incalculable, as if a thousand Sturmscharführers were wiped off the planet at the Russian front.
Piracy must end, so that a pure doctrine of 'Pay-dearly-for-content' is established to last the next ten thousand years...

For the example of AT&T, this program was surely foisted upon them by the NSA/FBI/CIA/GNAA/etc., not the other way around.

Surely you did not mean to mislead us (?).
It is not funny, in your opinion.
But don't tell anyone on earth what we may or may not laugh at.
Like saying that a library card is the same thing as a library.

The B&H movie was GREAT. So great, it was never the same....
Rugrats!
I would also say Spongebob, but that show actually ended by the time the movie happened.

I didn't understand it then. Now I do.
They are already willing to degrade quality in order to prevent fair use. What's a little more then?
DivX players were fully compatible with DVD, but even that couldn't save it from castastrophe.
DMR is the eqivalent of Circuit City demanding a phone call every time you wish to watch a movie.
Sorry- "NOT prime" is what I meant...

Not to mention that automakers intentionally dumb-down first-year models just to have something better to sell the following years...
