You are right - to an extent - that some people do things just for kicks or publicity or because they seek some other kind of psychological trilogy.
However, there would be no Battletar Galactica or The Office or 300 without paying. And in the case of The Office, the program is ad supported. There is a causal relationship between creative works - real or intellectaul - and most of the times that relationship is financial.
Here's a thought - Dickenson's poems might not have exited had a publisher not been able to profit by publishing/printing them. This was before the internet.
No, it has a lot in common with your "real doll", actually, because just like your wife, it won't exist unless you pay for it, either with the money you make peeling potatoes or the money the network makes by selling ads.
Even the bum on the corner with the banjo wouldn't be there if he didn't have some expectation of someone dropping a few dollars in his hat.
You have a lot of ignorance of your own. LOTS. Reality does not comform to you're own worldview.
1) - The FBISD has seven members. Two are white men. The VP is a black man. The rest are a mix of colors.
2) The ideology that would punish a kid for this is the same one that wants to outlaw private weapon ownership.
3) while the FBISD is non-partisan, the board members are probably Democrats judging by their backgrounds. The county also didn't even have a Republican candidate for the state board of Ed.
4) Red states are gaining population. So much so that after the next election, they won't likely even need to win Ohio to win the election - just hold the states that they have.
5) The Republican/Conservative policy is to allow parental choice in schools and to encourage home schooling options. This is as anti-authoritarian as you can get.
Yes, exactly. That is NOT funny but insightful. Almost all of these services are in beta. What the hell are you doing using Gmail for your corporate services?
Or as they are more commonly referred to, hate crimes. In the US, there are additional penalties that can be levied by certain jurisdictions on the basis that a crime was motivated by a forbidden thought. IE - a black kills another black because he wants to get into a gang get a lesser penalty than a black who kills a white because he just hates whites.
I imagine this scene from Star Wars where Obi-wan discoverse the massive clone manufacturing plant at a hidden planet on a hidden star, but does not realize what this forebears.
Stock is completely tangible as it legally IS a portion of the real assets of a company. The stock in your posession is just a technical way of labeling your ownership of those real assets. Kind of like a DEED.
This is really pointless - that's my point. There is such a blurry lined between government discussions and partisan activities that it is silly to try and write laws descriminating between the two.
Complaining about PROCESS, which is what this is about, is silly. It's kind of like complaining about the Democrats filabustering - a process issue.
Talk about issues, actual decisions, talk about how awful the administrations choice of dist attys are. Or talk about how great the judges are that the Dems are fillabustering. But whining about process stuff.... it's just lame.
There is nothing to see here, but that doesn't stop you and other useless clowns from getting a severe case of flautus over absolutely anything the White House does or does not do.
Karl Rove emails someone something from his Hotmail account or his RNC provided blackberry. Big whoop. It doesn't even matter if he did use the White House email system - it's still covered by executive priviledge and you wouldn't be able to read it anyway.
Sounds like your friend was either on the border line of or was close to committing fraud. The person monitoring those for following the script were probably not lawyers and neither were their bosses. But your friends bosses bosses bosses were probably lawyers.
The Federal government is very strict on what must be said and not said on telemarketing calls, doubly so for financially-related calls.
By playing fast and loose with a really stupid script (I know how stupid they can be), he was exposing the company to lawsuits that you would then read about on slashdot and then make a +5 'insightful' post about how corporations can't be trusted, etc. - all because your jackass friend who never really wanted to work for a living in the first place (history major??) - didn't follow the rules and because he was doing gangbusters, they let him slide.
I gave away two 360s. They both have HDTVs but not 1080ps. I figure they can get the wireless (or stay wired) and the HD-DVD if they want. Mom doesn't have an HDTV, but the 360 would be for DDR and casual games.
Disappointed that this is a worse value than the PS3. I have a 360. I gave one to my brother and to my sister; I was thinking about handing mine off to my mom and getting the Elite, but it almost isn't worth it.
I guess I'm just repeating the normal mantra: needs the HD-DVD built in and Wireless built in. Right now it's 480+200+100. I find the price of the little wireless device most eggregious even now and wonder why there are not third party devices out there that can do the wireless.
It was a clear, ethical, conflict of interest, and possibly a violation of campaign finance law.
No, it wasn't a conflict of interest, per say, and not a violation of campaign finance law. If anything it was a confluence of interest, and if somehow it did violate a campaign finance law, it would be the law that is unethical.
However, it did violate the terms of his employment. What is funny is that he did get fired but his work liiiikely benefited the BHO campaign more than anything his firm did and for free.
Not saying the ad won over many voters, but that it energized BHO's own voters, motivated them to donate, and gave them, in their minds, a pretty potent 'cool' factor.
But to answer your question, almost every stump speech he ever made in the primary in 2000 would be a good example. His body language and his voice conveyed anger. He's big on pointing his fingers.
I mean, I realize you are a fan and whatnot, but can you tell me he does not LOOK angry here - expecially when that picture gets printed everywhere in the daily paper.

You actually can play as an insurgent in BF2's expansion.
Will the video footage of him comitting ritual suicide be available on UMD?
What is the slashherd's consensus on this?
Also, are you saying that Lik-Sang BOUGHT all of those games in the first place that they were selling or no?
can you explain the 'right of resale' thing?

And all reasons are political. I guess for you political means anything you don't agree with.

I understand the 360 will get a shader update.
Excellent. DO ME NEXT!!!
But no keyboard or touch screen...?

Awesome.
I read your post, and the first thing that sprang to my mind is that you are an abject failure in your life.
