I live next to a Native American reservation, and this makes me think of something one of the Natives said to me regarding the Alaskan land bridge theory, "Our legend has always said we came from the West. I have no doubt we came down from Canada, but our tradition says our people are from the West, and I believe my ancestors".
As I recall if your making a purchase of that amount or greater it is mandatory to do a background check, a kind of small audit, and check for counterfeits. I believe the only time the money is confiscated is to check for counterfeits, and immediately returned less any counterfeits. The rest is just to make sure that you can legally obtain that amount in cash (i.e. you recently came into a fair inheritance, you won a lottery, you have a job and it pays well or you've been able to save up), and to make sure you haven't been lying to the IRS.
What's the problem? They don't make anyone very much money (except maybe condom manufacturers).
It's more then that. Those things COST money. Condoms, needles, books, pamphlets, and teachers all cost money. In many cases the areas that need them are unable to afford them. Then comes the issue of once you have teachers how do you get people to go to them. Then once you have that solved how do you get people to believe them (I know a problem in many areas of Africa is people giving more credence to ritual and tradition then to educators.

It's not only the US. For examble
However, in Swaziland, where nearly 40% of the nation's adults are HIV-positive, King Mswati--often criticized for not doing more to promote monogamy and condom use in the nation--canceled all World AIDS Day events. And in South Africa, home to more than 5 million HIV-positive people, the most of any country in the world, health minister Manto Tshabalala-Msimang--called "Dr. No" by AIDS activists because of her opposition to antiretroviral drugs--repeated her support of eating carrots, spinach, beetroot, and garlic as the preferred way for HIV-positive people to fight their infections.http://www.advocate.com/news_detail_ekt id23023.asp
There is a hell of lot of money for the cure for AIDS, demand would be so high for a long time that you couldn't possibly meet it, meaning you could charge great amounts and reap in huge benefits. As long as it isn't a one time vaccine you can continue to make sales on it. Not to mention the fame and PR that would be involved...
Please explain the DRM differences between HD-DVD and Blu-ray.
The main differance that is for sure (I don't think the BR call home thing is for sure) is that HD-DVD will let you stream content throughout your house, while Bluray limits it to one player, one screen, one location.
no one is going to make a game with 45 gigs of textures
Read the parent again. He talked about computer games (which on the high end are always more demanding and better looking then consoles so far) have yet to use that much texture data. Game companies today could use that much texture data for computer games, the only limit is hard drive size. But that amount of data has yet to even be considered for use, let alone usage reach near that amount.
I'm from Michigan, and the only times we don't have lane lines are in the backwoods towns, and after recent roadwork. Given the amount of roadwork we have going on this may be half of our roads during certain times of the summer though.
This is *exactly* the point, though. You *have* picked up a bootleg -- why? Aren't you concerned that this is morally wrong?
In my case I already owned the boxed extended edition, I picked up the bootleg as a conversation piece for my shelf in America (with the cover and such being in Russian, and the movie being dubbed in Russian). And I would like to note that I did buy it in a "normal" store (four walls, filled with shelves and products, a cashier and a manager). Russia is not America.
I think you need to start putting a disclaimer in your post that you work for Fox and friends, and that your opinion doesn't necessarily represent your employer.
He is about correct. Last time I was in the area I picked up a boot-leg Lord of The Rings. The bootlegs were everywhere, the actual movie was not. There were some movies priced comparatively, and people seemed to be willing to pay an extra $2 for the quality guarantee of the real one and extra features (some of the bootlegs are of very poor quality).
Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia...http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093779/quotes

How fast do you need a thumbdrive to be? It would have great uses I would think, sure it would be horrible for live distros of linux, but it would be great for word documents, excel spreadsheets, and small to medium photoshop projects.
Works with everything refers to Yahoo, AIM, MSN, Jabber, IRC, etc. etc. etc. Works with everything does not mean utilizes all features, as Trillian doesn't support the Avatar stuff Yahoo has, nudge or animation things MSN has, and I'm sure it's missing things MSN has.
That's odd, if it is so critical why can you get Dells with FreeDOS or RedHat instead? (And if it is not a tax then why does FreeDOS, which is free, cost just as much if not more then an identical setup with Windows XP Home?)
I don't know where you are, but here in America (where most Slashdot staff and users are) today is a federal holiday. Federal holidays mean slow news, since almost everything is shut down (nobody wants to work Christmas day). In my town, there is one Chinese restaurant and a few gas stations open, EVERYTHING else is shut down.
Sorry, you are wrong. There are many Robert Cash's in America, but none of them have been elected to the US Senate. Before you just post "wrong" again please do some research, and if you still think this is real then please do tell the state Robert Cash represents and his party affiliation.

Anonymizer is in a country that is not subject to U.S. Laws, does not keep logs, and uses encrypted communications with you
Yes, but what if the anonymizer computer is owned by the US Government, or the RIAA. They know who you are, and then can knock on your door.

It all makes sense now, if you eliminate the c you can get rid of all the red tape...

Windows is a critical part of a computer.
That's odd, if it is so critical why can you get Dells with FreeDOS or RedHat instead? (And if it is not a tax then why does FreeDOS, which is free, cost just as much if not more then an identical setup with Windows XP Home?)
If the information has value, why don't they pay me for it?
Seeing as this is talking about mail in rebates, you are compensated for your info. You want the rebate (read: pay) then you give up the info.
Tinfoil and aluminum foil are NOT the same thing.

You mean post the dupe by tomorrow?
No need to worry, unless you eat uncooked chicken or live on a chicken farm. That pretty much stands even if you live in the affected area of Asia.
