You don't think that $150,000 per song and jail time is excessive? That is the amount the RIAA threatened to sue for against file sharers last year to force settlements.
Pirates are not trying to put DRM on every computer created. The media industry is, and they're buying their laws any way they can.
Piracy is not the worst thing to happen to computing. It's the worst thing to happen to the Music Industry. (Which is only an excuse due to the recession. Our company got hit by the recession and we had to fire 100 people. Too bad we couldn't blame it on pirates)
You are siding with the same people who fought tooth and nail to outlaw the VCR. The Xerox Machine. The Printing Press.
You know, when we bought our first house, we were finally able to put up a dish, and went with DirectTV because it was cheaper than cable. But they've jacked up their prices. And with 2 receivers, it's back up to "Where the hell is our money going to?"
I also have an old Tivo. I'm am definately thinking that getting a new integrated unit is the way to go. But not sure if it's "really only $99" and if it's really going to be "$6 a month forever".
You're wrong. I have the oldest model Tivo there is, and it has all the choices.
But only if you do a complete setup.
The choices you're seeing, are because of what you chose way back when, when you first setup tivo. All you have to do is a complete setup, and when you choose your zip code, and then choose the Company you're getting feed from, (in my case: DirectTV) you will then be able to choose their satellite receiver as one of the sources. Since my area doesn't carry local, I was able to choose: DirectTV + Antenna.
I've helped others set up their tivos, and have moved 3 times, so I understand why it seems like tivo doesn't give you a choice at first glance. But the choices ARE there with a complete setup. (the one that takes the longest)
Actually, what happens there is that the local Coke franchise for that area is also the seller of the Dr. Pepper/7Up franchise.
The whole nation (and world?) is broken up by territory by private individuals who paid for the right to sell Pepsi in just that area. (or coke). It's a franchise, much like restaurants.
The same is true with the Dr.Pepper/7 Up franchise. Once in a while, a person who owns the area for Pepsi, will also own the area to sell Dr.Pepper/7Up. Or in your case, it was Coke + Dr.Pepper/7Up.
It's also true for most beverages. Our midwest Pepsi franchise was also Klarbrunn, Frappachinos, and other obnoxious sugar water products in the area. We also were selling A & W in the area for decased, but got kick-back money to sell Pepsi's Mug product, so basically had to give up the right to sell A & W in the area to receive the Mug kickback.
As a previous employee of Pepsi, I can say that we paid large 'donations' to the school to be the exclusive pop seller on the campuses.
What gets me is the contracts with the high schoolers, and now the grade schools. They say the average teenager drinks *10* cans of pop a day. That's scary.
People have been crying the death of books for a long, long time. Look at the Harry Potter books, though. Super young kids reading a 900 page book-- makes you feel good
"....and 12 month being shouted at by military personel would result in me killing one of them out of pure frustration/boredom."
Heheh.
As Arlo Guthrie said in "Alice's Restaurant", threatening the military that you want to kill someone, is... exactly the type of person they're looking for!:)
Nice try. The setting was not fantasy in either of your two movies. Your definition of fantasy seems to be anything that's not a documentary!!

I didn't mean to imply that grinding wheat down would cause the loss of nutrients.
Primary school doesn't teach any of this. And marketing in the name of the almighty dollar has definately made this NOT painfully obvious. Lucky Charms should not be AHA Healthy-approved. You're being a dickhead because I accidentally said grinding, which I've already admitted and corrected.
The point of what *I* was saying, is that enriched flour is in almost all foods at the supermarkets these days: All famous brand cereals, pastas, crackers, breads, cookies, pastries. What other aisles are left in the supermarket? We live in a high carb world. Because it's cheap to make.
Sorry, my attempt to keep my rant down from 10 pages long, I did skimp on details. I didn't mean to imply that grinding wheat down would cause the loss of nutrients. Enriched Flour simply doesn't use the whole kernel:
"Enriched/fortified bread is made from enriched white flour, which is milled from only the endosperm of the wheat kernel. "
Not all complex carbohydrates carry the same nutritional benefits. "Refined" starchy foods like white rice, white pasta, white bread, and cereals made from "enriched wheat flour," lack the fiber and several of the nutrients that "whole grain" foods provide. In a sense, refined, starchy foods act more like simple sugars in the body and provide mostly empty calories.
What is a "Whole Grain?"
A whole grain has four parts: the germ (the nutrient-rich inner part), the endosperm (th soft white, starchy inside portion), the bran (the fibrous coating around the grain), and the husk (the outer inedible shell).
What Is "Refinement?"
Refinement is the process that removes all but the endosperm portion of the grain, leaving a white, nutrient-poor refined flour.
What Is "Enrichment?"
Enrichment is the process that adds back five nutrients to white, refined flour: iron, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and folic acid. All the other nutrients from the whole grain are still lost (magnesium, zinc, vitamin B6, cromium, vitamin E, and fiber).
What's Considered "Whole Grain" and What Isn't?
Use the following guidelines to make sure you are really getting whole grain products:
*Cracked wheat, stoned wheat, wheatberry, 100% wheat, seven-grain, and multi-grain are all made from mostly refined grains, not whole grains.
*Look for the word "whole" before "grain" or "wheat" on product labels. It also should be the first ingredient listed.
It's called the yo-yo diet, and its long term health risks are severe.
When you crash diet, you lose fat and muscles. When you fall off your diet and start pigging out again, you only gain mostly fat back.
Then when you crash diet again, you lose fat and muscles. ETc. etc. In the end, you end up fatter and less strong than when you started.
If you weighed 300 pounds, and want to weight 190 pounds.. you have to start acting like a 190 pound person. That means what their level of eating AND exercising. Even if you were lucky to diet down to 190, you won't stay there unless you turn into a 190-pound person on the inside too. That is why they call it a lifestyle change instead of a diet. It's tough to do, but it is possible if you really want it badly enough.
Yep, the American Heart Association (AHA) has their stamp of approval on every Sugar-Flakes cereal in the aisle!! How can you trust anything from them?
Just because you fortify it, doesn't mean it's healthy!
The main problem with today's health is the myth that "fat is bad". So they make all this fat-free foods that people gobble up. Their blood sugar spikes from all the carbs and they're hungry again too soon.
Enriched flour is a terrible misnomer. It means that for the food companies to save money, they've taken wheat, ground it down to a powder, losing all the vitamins. Then fortify it with vitamins, and make cereal, bread, cakes, cookies, and pastas. The bad thing is, it's only 1 step above sugar.
Complex Carbohydrates, protein, and fat all satiate your hunger for much longer than sugar and simple carbs.
I'm no Atkins fan, but I did learn a lot from it. I only cut out simple carbs and counted calories when I lost my 150 pounds.

Read up on some outrageous fines.

Well, Sprite is owned by Coke.
It proves that the return amount is the same then. And I know. Who cares.

Anyway, it's possible that the regional bottler ALSO bottles for the Dr. Pepper/7Up.
Wow. And that proves what? That you don't have a deposit return in Canada!!
