Hold on, I know this one...it's the giant media conglomerates that control radio playlists to the point that real new talent can't find an outlet for their work...
You're right, they are divergent functions, but that's no reason not to have a device that actually does more than one thing. There's no reason for Joe Sixpack to need a "remote boat" to organize his 8 clickers - that's just silly.
Of course, that's supposed to be funny, and it is, but the question is: why buy DVDs from companies that simply want to screw you?
I know, the Slashdotters of the world are like 0.001% of the movie buying market and business would go on as usual, but principles matter.
They matter even more when the other side has none. Take the lawsuits that the idiots in the Directors Guild of America (DGA) have filed against Clean Flicks. Morons!
Freedom of speech also means that if I want to see "Jay and Silent Bob Strike BacK" without hearing FUCK every thirty seconds then that is my right.
Naturally I'm a doofus for wanting to watch that POS flick in the first place, but hey, it's America!:-;
Budget priorities are totally screwed up but the story you're getting is that the shuttle is too dangerous. Welcome to America, the land of the half-truth. In a little place I like to call reality, two things are true:
it's much easier to fail to invest in the future than to trim a potential voter's piece of pork today
the space shuttle is too dangerous to fly, but it is still in operation only because the geniuses in Washington have sat on their asses for the last three decades instead of developing a suitable replacement
That said, I'd bet my next paycheck that the guys and gals would would be riding in that ceramic-tile-dropping, 1970s-built tin can would rather take their chances and keep working on the ISS than sit around picking their noses waiting for our so-called representatives to remember what makes this country greate.
Four people in my family, including myself, have had the surgery with no major complications. Everyone is seeing 20/30 or better starting from being pretty bad off. That's the good news.
The bad is that I have a bad case of dry eyes. It's a tragedy if I leave the house without my eyedrops - by the end of the day it feels like I haven't slept in a week. My relatives don't have that problem.
There's also a tendency toward night vision problems, starring, halos and the like. Mostly your brain adjusts to the artifacts but it's not a good thing.
In my lay-option, if you're into sports or something where glasses get in the way and your vision doesn't require a major correction - go for it.
If you're doing it to pick up chicks or your doctor's going to burn deep into the cornea, I'd think again.

I hate it when authors put too much text in the body tag, too.
Sounds like bad FireFox code.
So first I have to buy the air and THEN pay again when I want to breath...now I get it.
"Good jobs at a fair wage hard to find" and "IT managers smarter, better leaders than those in other industries"...

Who's the RIAA talking about, themselves? The creativity-stifling record labels? Bill Gates?

No, the real question is if it's wrong for a man to buy a transplant to save his life.
There's nothing inherently more right about having the government decide.
My liver's a part of my earthly estate, I'd say; therefore, distribution is properly left to my executor, contrary to your opinion.
Using your logic it would be illegal to be buried with my own liver inside. 'Fraid that's just not right.
Perhaps, yet, ethics aside, there is very little point in competition between artificially enhanced athletes.
We already have monster truck rallies and robot wars for that sort of foolishness.
To boldly go where no man that old should dare to go...
