It is pretty sick as well how people tolerate ads. Jesus Christ. Block all ads people. You aren't "freeloading". The corporations don't give a shit about you.
I noticed that too. "they can afford everything they want to consume"? That doesn't even make any sense. The really rich don't do it for money after a certain point: they do it for power and control.
It costs a lot of money to tool up a manufacturing line for electric knives. It is almost 100% certain they are using the same tooling as the "real" line. Well 90% certain. OK, maybe 30% certain.
Spoken like a true Republican. We should just make the tax rate zero. After all, corporations can "compete" then. Except US corporate profits are at an all time high even though we don't "compete" on tax rates, somehow.
You should care: the shortfall that the government doesn't collect from corporations comes out of YOUR TAXES. Christ, how dumb are you? The government doesn't go without: it just takes more of YOUR money.
That isn't how the world works. You can make BETTER $40 shoes than $140 Nike shoes, but you will go broke quickly. People buy shoes and stuff in general based on MARKETING. The reason shoes are $140 and not $40 is explained above. That billion dollars they are paying to Jordan, and sponsorships, aren't coming from a money tree. It is coming from the $120 in profit they make per sale. T
There is no company that is designing "knockoff electric knives" with separately tooled factory lines. It doesn't make financial sense to do so. What they are doing is making extra runs of the "real" product without B&D knowing about it and throwing them into packages. The product is the same. The main issue is that the Black and Decker knife is crap, like most of BD stuff made in China.
Except that mega corporations aren't playing by the rules either. For example, they use offshore tax havens to hide profit that should go to paying US taxes. If they aren't playing by the rules, why should you? You can't afford it, they can. Playing by the rules is out the window in 2016.
No it isn't. The reason shoes sell here in the US for $100+ that cost $20 to manufacture is profit, development and (mostly) marketing costs. Nike pays Michael Jordan a billion dollars for marketing purposes. That money comes from the consumer. A pair of Jordan shoes costs about $20 to make in China. The $100 profit goes to Nike. It doesn't go to quality.
That is because "knockoffs" are the real thing. All they do is do "extra runs" of the product and don't tell Nike/Birkenstock about it. I regularly order shoes from Aliexpress. They are identical to the ones I can get in the U.S. I can get for $40 (free shipping) Nike shoes that cost $120 here in the U.S.
Nothing is inevitable. That is what makes Space Nutter a religion. There is no manifest destiny, no matter how much you might wish it. We haven't cured the common cold. Are we ever going to be able to cure it? Who knows? People think "progress" is inevitable, but it really isn't. You already see a slowing of the rate of innovation and speed in digital computers.
My guess is that this crap is written by hipster women who think that imaginary people like "Rita" make sex workers "empowered". Unfortunately it isn't. It is degrading and dangerous. There is no "Rita" out there looking out for these women.

The new Verizon slogan: we give you the 1990s Internet. #blinktag #dialup
Wow. That was so nonsensical. Complete gibberish. The point is mature libraries and tools are more important than ego-driven language masturbation.
...but does it support Apps yet?
Rei is an idiot. End of story.
I think that is the Motorhead salute.
As Kirk always said: "live long and prosper!". It sure did.

I call bullshit. Thousands of products per year? There are only 365 days in a year. And you have the time to write this gibberish on Slashdot?

That and creating the fucking Internet you enjoy. No need to thank us.
Er, no. It doesn't work that way. No one is "trained" to be hetero/homosexual. Who/what is doing the "training"? Dumb.
There is zero money to be made in Android applications. What a disaster.
You don't know that with any shoe. People assume that US companies sell "safe" products. That simply isn't true.

Those "fakes" are usually made on the same factory line as the "real" ones. All that crap is made in cheap labor countries. Even the $900 handbags.
