Maybe people who feel strongly about a movie either way rush online to rate it, but those who don't wait for the "rate your recent returns" email from Netflix to nag them into rating the movie, which they do at work when the boss isn't looking.
I hate it when companies like Tivo do dishonest things like paying people to write crappy covert ads for them. At least when I get stressed out like this, I can calm down by smoking Laramies or Laramie Extra-Tars. The clean refreshing taste of Laramie. Start smoking them today, or you'll live to regret it!
The explanation is simple -- it was our evil alien overlords sending the order to launch the 9/11 attacks. The evidence of the true extraterrestrial origins of the attacks, including the "767s" that hit the towers, are hidden away in area 51.
No, Bush had nothing to do with the attacks -- OPEC and Bush are working together to suppress the alien cold fusion technology which would of course devastate both their respective interests. As for Bush's sudden interest in space exploration, that's the true War on Terror; the Iraq invasion is just to trick the aliens into thinking we think Saddam ordered the attacks. In fact, Saddam was hanged for wanting to get back at Saudi Arabia by releasing the aliens' cold fusion technology.
Also, most "9/11 conspiracy sites" on the internet are put there by the government to suppress all discussion of the extraterrestrials and train the american consumer to think of anyone who doesn't accept the official version of the attacks as bush hating liberal whacko sheeple.
Wikipedia would be a disastrous model for anything having to do with government. It relies too much on the "good nature" of contributors. As we see very often, some people simply don't have any. And that is double true when it comes to government. I agree. Some defense contractor might get on there and write a law mandating that the pentagon only buy certain supplies from them. Or the corn farmers might pass a law requiring corn products in gasoline. Imagine the government paying people to grow tobacco, thanks to some philip morris employee. Taxes on blank CDs paid directly to record companies. Copyright holders extending the copyright term just as their stuff is about to enter the public domain. We must not have wiki laws, they would be a disaster!
If a gamesave is not protected, a multinational corporation might fall one cent short on its earnings next quarter. If a bank account or identity is not protected, a person might spend the rest of their life trying to set things straight while their ability to get credit, rent an apartment, get a job, get health insurance, or buy a home is destroyed.
Clearly, our society has spoken as to which of these things is more important to prevent.
Ah yes, the GMAC business model. Lose money selling cars, make money charging interest.
Not to go too far offtopic, but why did GM sell off GMAC? It was the only division in the entire company that was turning a profit. True, they did get a nice chunk of change for it, but once that one-time cash infusion is gone, there'll be nothing holding GM together... Toxic mortgages probably. 90% profit decrease = pain.

I can guarantee you, if you're so cold-hearted that you can't appreciate a nice little puppy in the middle of a boring workday, you will NEVER get laid. Chicks love cute animals, and they love guys that love cute animals.
The problem is, when FlyCheap Airlines has one of its planes hijacked and flown into a skyscraper somewhere, that's a negative externality. The people in the building never got to choose how much security they needed. Should we allow the CheapNukes Power Plant to store nuclear materials in an unlocked building on the side of the road?

The military should have its soldiers drink 2-4 drinks per day. Casualties will drop by 18% and morale will rise. That would be a big improvement over World War II, when they handed out cigarettes with the soldiers' rations.

Professor had everyone create an account ending in "mas214" (the course number). Everyone procrastinated and then did such a bad job the accounts got blocked for vandalism and an investigation was launched into whether they were sock puppets. Here's one user's talk page. It ended up on the administrator noticeboard. So professors, if you're going to assign Wikipedia, take the time to understand what Wikipedia is about first.
This anti vandal bot's talk page has plenty of examples of mistakes. ~~~~

You know those signs that say "this store does not accept $100 bills?" This is why.

and you don't even need rain. These solar panels have never been washed or rained on, and they've been working just fine for over 3 years.
You'd rather they had 7 year contracts? Wasn't that a common term for indentured servitude?
Now they can get a short term contract, get popular, ditch the label, and actually get paid for their work.
