Well I'm sure some people might take it to that level and boycott the entire company and all its subsidiaries, but those who don't still do something, especially when you boycott a major portion of the company, a portion that the parent company relies heavily on to bring a significant amount of revenue to them. And like you said It's hard to boycott a large corporation like that becuase they tend to own ALOT of other companies. Also if we were to boycott AOLTW it would be like boycotting life THEY OWN EVERYTHING. I think they are planning on eventually staging a military coup of the world. HAIL AOLTW!!!!
I'm not going to refute anything you said or correct you in any way. I just thought of an idea while reading your comment. What if apes evolved out of the ability to speak. I assume it is a genetic traight and that we may have purged or damn near purged all early apes with the ability to make a small attempt at speech so they would have retained all other abilities that weren't as appearent to the early humans. Now don't go yelling at me saying how stupid I am becuase I really put no research into this or anything I'm just asking if it was possible.
I can see the rich getting richer for a little but they depend a great deal on income from the lower two classes. So when the lower two get poorer that would lead to less income to the rich so after a while i think it would balance itself out.
Since you are so good at bashing capitalism and saying how corrupted it is why not suggest a better way to run the United States Economy. It's easy to bad mouth something but finding a solution is a whole different ball game. Sure there are inherent problems with capitalism but i think in practice it is the best system out there right now and I'm tired of/.ers bashing the hell out of it.
just becuase your computer is flying around the room at 70 miles per hour, due to fan power, doesn't mean it's fast. put some more fans on it and you might be able to break the sound barrier.
yeah and i seem to remember a couple Isreali fighter jets shooting up a US radar boat a couple of years back. I don't remember the details but anybody who does I'd be greatfull if they filled me in. I think the isreali planes made a couple of passes on the boat and when life boats were dropped in the water an isreali ship came out and shot up all the survivors. i know it seems far fetched but i know i heard this a couple of years ago I'll look for a link or something and post it as a reply.
yeah good for technology bad for the economy. we should just make all other countries our slaves (everyone besides the U.S.)and force them to work for us. It's a win win situation.
so your argument is that it's all right to steall expensive software from companies because you can't afford it but if you steal a 40 dollar game it's terrible becuase a person can afford it? I can't afford a Jaguar Doesn't mean I'm gonna go steal one. If you want to get all holy and pure with everyone either don't admit you steal $100s of dollars worth of apps or don't steall stuff.
Nintendo will always be 'poppa bear' in my book i play more NES games then the next gen system games i own all three next gen systems and out of all of them i do like PS2 the best but if you take the two companies and compare them nintendo reigns supreme in my book. I mean all i should have to say is ZELDA and everybody should nod their heads and agree.
so you basically mean turn all consoles into MACs. well granted that could solve alot of the piracy issues but how long till piracy people start pumping out code chips instead of mod chips then we might have access to all the games instead of just one. of course there might be a simple explanation to this that i have over looked. and doesn't anybody remember Conkers Bad Fur Day!!! that game was funky it was a drunken squirrel!
that would be pretty cool but why store it in a brick. I mean there should be a moer efficient and easier to maitain form then a brick set in the wall. why not put it in a plate on the wall that as a removeable faceplate or something easier to get to.
well what if we had one cable that had redundancy. to eliminate come problems of course i fhte entire plant blows up then we are all screwed but if we limited the amount of wires coming into our house to two then we coul have a big main one and a smaller back up one that could keep things running but not maybe at full capacity until the main one got back up. of course this wold be the case in urban areas and not backwater places like where i live, well who cares about us we carve sticks and chew tobacco for fun we don't need electricity for that.
why don't we do it in the public non government sector. Let everybody who wants a piece of the pie get one. we could have a place where everbody was equal and we could commune together so we can communicate more with in the community. we could call our new social structure happy happy fake land that would never work, btu is fun in theory!
why don't we take all those probes equip them with terraforming equipment(whatever that is) and send them to Mars, then in 30 years we will have a whole nother planet to colonize, or a brand new Penal colony. HURRAY!!!
I agree with the statement that it does matted who does the advancement but not for the exact same reason. I know I'm a victim of the United States' propaganda machine but no matter how much you say everybody loves each other and space exploration is purely that space exploration. I won't believe it. If some country nto friendly to the U.S. sets a platform in space similar to the Star Wars idea (lots of nukes in space for easy blowing up) I wouldn't be all that comfortable. I think the U.S. and most european countries have proven that their goal is to maintain peace and not destroy it for national gains. I'd rather see England go to mars then Syria (don't take this like I'm racist or something my family comes from the Middle east) it's just that what i've seen from too many nations is that they like moer and more power and if they have the power to make the entire globe shake in fear then i doubt they would say "o yeah here now that I've done it here is how you can build your own doomsday device."
This statement is not accounting for money constraints of third world countries it is purely theoretical.
I don't think either governments had any seriuos goals for that. I think it was more political then anything. they would still rather see their own individual space program do better then the joint one. besides the U.S.'s and the Russian's sapce programs are sooo different i don't think it was a bad thing for a first try.

hahahaha he makes a good point

Deep thought was a chess computer before deep blue came around.
I wonder What percent of /. readers have read Hitchhiker's guide I'm guessing around 80%.

yeah it does suck when people mess with a good thing but enough of that how did you like the movie?

OK I have a question Why don't we just freakin send a human. don't say the risk becuase i think i would go.I'm sure others would also.
I really have nothing to add except that would freakin rule!!! (as you could tell I have a passion for battlemechs)
I saw that also. Didn't they have plans to develop submarines and boats with that kind of propulsion instead of screws?
