the business model doesn't change. Those manufactures do not sell at the same price across the board. There are incentives, and discounts, and sales.
Let's say I go to a foreclosure auction and buy box after box of lightbulbs. I puchased them for well below the retail cost, but I managed to buy them, not rent, lease, or license them. I purchased a physical piece of merchandise, from someone who was selling merchandise that they had purchased. then i go on ebay and sell them for less than what the lightbulb store is selling them for. Now, rememer the light bulb company has already made its dime. Those light bulbs are bought and paid for. where exactly is it in anyones best interest for them to interfere with my right to do business?
Yes, and the ingredient that they put in the food that completly short circuits your ability to feel full has nothing to do with it... People spend money, time and heartache being fat because they want to.
Duh
I play Runescape. It's not the most advanced game, but its fun and a lot of friends at work play it. so its social. I've been a member since Jan, and I noticed a marked difference. Members worlds are like first world nations, and non members worlds are like third world nations. Its kind of errie how close the analogy is. their are beggers, and noise and bustle on the free servers. If a paying player wants something cheap, some resource, or such they duck over to a free world and exploit the players there then duck back beyhind the gated walls of the member server. While in the members world things that are precious to the free players are almost disregarded. take bows for example. Every general store in the members world is polluted with bows. they are hard to find in the free world.
No states have something to be more scared of than people not buying their product. they have to worry about people not voting for them. IF a government is seen as anti environment and pro oil in todays political climate it's nota good thing for their numbers.
The chinese, Taiwanese, etc etc's ecomomies will nose dive. Oil will drop in price, and shipping prices will go down. Right now those areas of the world make a lot of cheap crap that is shipped all over the world to be sold cheaply. In a day and time when I can make it myself with my (i wanna call it a replicator) those factories will grind to a halt, and they won't ship it. We in the first world don't really make that much any more. When we get the ability to simply manufacture goods in our own homes... well that changes the game considerably.
Shakespears work stay copyrighted for eternity. The rights holders lets say in the late 1700s have some sort of falling out and his manuscripts aren't allowed to be printed again. Where does that put our society?
copyright has to be measured against common good. It is not a never ending thing and has no right to be.
You're a goat farmer living in the dried out sea bed. You live next to what used to be a small island. the big flood comes in and hits you. The island is subsumed... You look around and see nothing but sea from horizon to horizon where there used to be homes and mountains. How do you describe that to your children?
You know, a lot of americans are whining about this, its the law in canada, it has been the law for quite some time. Also, it looks good on you. You've been making it harder for Canadians to cross the border for awhile now. Its only fair to have it both ways.
you know, something similar happened to my mother. in almost the exact same spot. When I was about 10 my mother was in a horrible car accident. Which, amongst other things resulted in a piece of the car being driven through the front of her forehead. The hole was about the size of a Twoonie. The damage wasn't debilitating, and she survived. No hit to IQ, no slowness nothing like that. But since the accident she's meaner, more confrontational, very paranoid about people. It was a difference that was like night and day.
Looking at the pictures its kind of eerie, the hole that was in her forehead was about 3 inches lower but almost at the same spot.
I think CNN has a weird off the wall backup plan of displaying some of their information on the television. I know it sounds odd, but I read a report about it somewhere.
you know, right now we are the US's biggest trading partners... But honestly it wouldn't take that much effort on our part to become Chinas largest trading partner.
the simple point is this. The big companies want the outsource pay rates, without the outsource stigma. They basically want to outsource, but say that the jobs are local. They will pass over a thousand IT professionals that know what they are doing over the one little kid from Bangalor who printed his diploma off at Kinkos.
too old to get surgery? WTF? No, that isn't how it works. they probably had to wait for surgery, or were told it was inadvisable for someone at their age. But simply told no becasue they were old isn't possible. As a matter of fact it would be illegal.
My ipod likes Greenday, but my itunes liked coldplay... I think they don't like each other.
When I sync up my ipod using the autofill it almost always loads up pretty much every coldplay song I have, but when I'm playiung the songs on my ipod it sticks to wathever greenday songs I have on there. Who knew that two pieces of technology could have such different tastes?
Were you strip searched? I know if I were in the positon of choosing who to strip search in the course of a day, the handsome young marine might just get picked over the smelly old guy

No, the reason they are there is to reduce parking, removing them would increase parking.
this is the example of Canada not bowing over for money.
which, is oddly enough, the phone number to a party I attended several years ago.

Not to mention the man in china who was recently executed for slavery... Think about that word for a second, roll it around your tongue. here, a cite. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070717/wl_afp/chinas laverychildren_070717162530
If that isn't exploitation, what exactly is?
You mispronounced it.. the best country in the world is pronounced Canada, Not CUSA. Interesting speach impediment you have there.

I was thinking less Communist utopia, and more transmetropolitan.
Or let's look at it like the way it is going.

See, I don't see how Brazil and The Us can form an ethanol cartel. Any country can make ethanol. It's not geographically locked.

Yes, GWB is a big part of it, another big part of it is how you run roughshod over us at every opportunity.
You see the problem with that is, no one attacks nuclear capable countries. It's not generally a good idea.
If I'm generating enough power that I can sell the excess I don't care if the power company goes tits up.
