Eliminating the middleman is BAD if you are the middleman.
If every home could generate its own power, I can't make money selling it to them!
My greed is more important than your independence.
right? right?
From the commentary:
Perhaps the most telling moment of the entire call came when a reporter asked in essence, "Why is it that crime rates are falling just as videogame content is getting more violent?"
Without irony, New York City councilman Eric Gioia replied, "I'll take a stab at that"
You see Councilman Gioia, context is everything.
Sorry, I forgot to set my "being sarcastic" flag to "Visible". It is the music labels who are trying to keep the musicians at minimum wage (or lower when they can).
"increasing the control that the recording industry holds over performers. " - sums up the other aspect.
Musicians have histroically been at the bottom of the heap. In the good old days we'd summon the darkies up to the big house to play the fiddle while we sipped our mint julips and if they were good enough, we might toss them a chicken wing or even a drumstick. If not, they would starve a bit. This was clearly the kind of "merit system" to which people of this ilk wish us to return. After all, why are musicians pursuing the dollar when their only goal should be the love of music. Doesn't compensation only corrupt their work?
Tits, not Ass.
The cameras will be mostly elevated, which makes them great for looking down cleavage, capturing the images, and selling them to specialty porn sites to defray the cost of the surveilance.
The National Debt http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/ is the big thing:
US $7,375,598,685,765.
Your share is $25,078.39
Real money, that YOU (U.S. Citizen) really owe and will really pay off.
There are two ways you can pay it off: The Hard way or the MUCH HARDER way.
The Hard way requires congress to have a measure of honesty and courage, and an electorate serious about cutting spending. (like any of that will happen).
The MUCH HARDER way is to do nothing until inflation reaches triple digits. Since the 25K is about 2-3 times more than the average income, you can either go without a salary for 2-3 years, or have your real income cut in half for 5.
Enjoy!!
You're absolutely right. He used a combination of Rams and black powder charges. I carelessly confused "explosives" with "dynamite". Memo to self... something about trusting memory..? Ah, I forget...
A former circus strongman and giant, turned egyptologist, Giovanni Battista was the first to enter the sarcophagus chamber in modern times. I've been there: he left his graffiti still very visible in big black letters on the wall of the inner chamber, a foot high: "Belzoni 1818". He opened a number of other tombs as well. His favorite tool was dynamite.

And it is profitable too. Lawyers manufacture no goods, grow no food, and create no art.
Can I install Linux on the new Cheap M$ PC? That's all I want to know. I'll bet that's all they want to know in Africa or Honduras, too.
of course it isn't. You should use Thunderbird. Sorry, couldn't resist.
