Those little trinkets arent half of it, not even close.
My mother works in a semi-small doctors office. They have 4 docs one is cardio the other neuro, and two might be a more general practitioner doc. Dont know the specifics. About 12 more support staff as well.
They have Pharm Reps (Drug Reps) they came in atleast twice per week. They give little presentations on new drugs, but also new tools, devices.
Every time they come, they dont bring just pens, note pads and posters.
No, no no....
They cater lunch for the whole office...at an extreme level. The pick up enough food for 75 people!
Luches from Carrabbas, Smokey Bones, Texas Cattle Company, etc.
Then all the staff eat lunch like kings, and then bring home enough for dinner that night plus leftovers.
So, dont think its just $10 worth of office supplies, or some thing. its $1000+ Every day for every Rep.
Yea, Ill eat their food all day. But it makes me wonder how many billions get spent on PR, ads, and Reps. How much could have gone into progams for uninsured?
But these guys were just following cues from the NSA.
So they were just Following Orders?
That didnt fly before and it doesnt fly now. Every person is responsible for their own actions.
Being told to do something by someone supposedly in power does not make it right, or justifiable. Never has, Never will.

Is a LIE!
Yes I can diseminate information about it, and yes, I can rebroadcast part of it.
I can talk about Barry Bonds being a douche at the water cooler, and I can also post a video from MLB of him being a douche.
Posting whole movies, shows, and games to youtube isnt Fair Use, its copyright infringement. Posting a clip and talking about it is commentary.
Proper attribution of the source is the key here.
Same thing applies to books and news papers. Source it properly.
Use of DMCA to prevent Fair Use...dunno if that has been upheld is courts yet.
DeCSS wasnt speech....but thats the only case I remember involving DMCA and First Amendment issues being raised.

Libraries of Congress (LoC) are an infinitly flexible unit of measure.
/oohhh, Supper is ready.....
Because of this the LoC is also the most fundamental of all units.
The Planck units therefore must replaced!
Planck Libraries of Congress, PLoC!!
Yea, but that can get boring.
Everyone loves a good RPG from time to time.
The big guy might like living like a college kid, drinking beer, partying.
Then at night, boom, hes a super hero fighting crime, getting wimmins.
Fluffy clouds and angels might get old after a bit, ya know?

If season 5 of real world changed direction and went porno-docu...with different actors of course...that could have been positive.
MTV might have been the new Playboy.
But we have The Hills.
"LC is wearing an American Eagle headband; $40."
arghh, why the *FSCK* does that have to be somewhere in my mind?!?!
Purge!!!
Every time someone talks about some evolution of something we have now they go and mention MTV.
MTV provides nothing but attention whore PR.
Please stop mentioning them in your next-gen-extreme-thing PR.

But seriously, how many chineese can tell the difference between a british and an irishman?
Or a frenchman and a german?
Nationality doesnt mean much, and really it shouldnt.
But back on the topic....the US, China and every other nation has services that spy on other countries.
Im sure the US has compromised some Chineese systems but they would never reveal that.
I would also assume that the Chineese still have access to other systems, maybe in multiple other departments of the gov.
