Actually in tony hawk they use a lot of brands for gear which is totally legit and makes the game more realistic than having a bunch of really fake names.
That is probably the best use of advertising in game.
Why dont gun manufacturers jump on the bandwagon, "I didnt kill that guy with an gun, I shot him in the kneck with a Desert Eagle Point 5 0"
Actually no they are not. it has become fairly obvious they are using a shotgun approach and hitting an aweful lot of people that clearly did not download anything. The dead person for instance, the person without a computer, the computer that cant even run the software at all etc.
The fact they managed to file a suit against a single person that was found invalid should put their entire methodology into question and all lawsuits should be dismissed until they have a proven method of verifying the wrongs they claim.
Sueing people that in no way, under any circumstance actually did the thing you claim should make you instantly liable to the tune of the victim winning the lottery instantly.
Kids dont need better computers at school, i would go as far to say, they need less computers because they are largely unused as it is. A computer in every classroom was the greatest scam of the 90's
The stats were done, a very insignificant portion of the people that voted fro nader would have actually voted for Gore. The rest would have voted for someone else or not voted.
There honestly isnt a product advertised on TV that I care about, even when I buy one I pick one at random. If advertisers took a chance and advertised new products I haven ever even heard of, then I wouldnt mind and their advertising would be effective.
But they want the mass market bullshit for crappy products where consumers dont care about or have brand loyalty anyways.
I jsut bought a new car, I wish I could basically opt out of all car ads for the next 5 years because every single one of them is going to be irrelevant, but thousands of dollars spent on just me to see them over that time will be wasted.
the Euro is starting to be bigger, but 9 out of 10, 100dollar bills is outside of the US. It is a global currency. so I guess a lot of other people (like the entire global economy) has a lot of faith in the US economy. Many parts of the world, the dollar is prefered over the local currency.
the massive US debt, yes yes, we have been hearing about it for like 50 years, when is it going to actually make a difference?
Well in my area a verbal contract is only valid for amounts up to 1000 dollars.
And if an agent around here was relying on verbal contracts, they wouldnt ever make a deal because that is just plain stupid. Paperwork is necessary in that industry because it is the largest investment the average person ever makes. I dont want to rely on what someone remembers about an agreement, I want it on paper.
Um verbal contracts are absolutely NOT valid in real estate. That would be the absolute last place they would be valid in. That is why offers are not valid when there is an accepted offer, and hell they can still fall apart even then.
I dont know where you got your info from, but verbal contracts are valid in man circumstances, real estate is not one of them
Cost for instance? ie the cost of energy to produce a solar cell...
if it costs more in terms of energy to produce the cell than will ever be produced by the cell, there is no point. Maybe things have gotten better but that was were solar was a few years ago
your understanding of currency is stunningly idiotic. the dollar is universal irregardless of oil.
Well a bunch of people in ATI just lost their jobs and that will basically cover a good portion of the buyout so it is not like AMD is suddenly at zero dollars.
Man if my school system wasted that kind of money on a debit system for lunch I think every school board member would be recalled and kicked the hell out.

The MPAA business model is based on lieing to investors and the MPAA.
By their books the movie Birth of a Nation still hasnt made a profit.

Tony Hawk uses extensive advertising in the game, however it fits the game 100%
The stats were done, a very insignificant portion of the people that voted fro nader would have actually voted for Gore. The rest would have voted for someone else or not voted.
Spot on.

some geeks tend to forget that the vast majority of companies simply dont need a $40K router, they need a 10K router and that is it.

Next time I fly I will make sure I am doing something just a bit suspicious so I can be in a government document. I think it would be cool actually.
Cause then I will be a part of history, when the government has to open these records (or more likely they are forced open during the next revolution)
Only 4 pages?
unless it is about 10,000 words, it should be 1-2 pages.
Contracts are simple, they only become complicated when people employ their "lessons" in those semester long classes.
Never ever beleive what the service rep tells you, talk to a commision based sales agent, they will push through anything if it means money for them.
They will go against every policy. If one guy says no, go to the hungry looking one that is too weak to oversell you.
Make sure you are doing business with the real cell company and not a reseller, they constantly hose you.

That only applies in the court of law.
In the real world things work differently.
The coporate world already operates under a "its ready when its ready" system, they just dont realize it.
They either get the first version that is grossly inadequate, or they wait till the real version is finally released (after being delayed 4-5 times)
The time frame is the same, the facts are just spun a bit differently.
Well a bunch of people in ATI just lost their jobs and that will basically cover a good portion of the buyout so it is not like AMD is suddenly at zero dollars.
and the fact that your actual job duties will entail far more than what your job description said.
Seriously, someone managed to write an article about this concept?
If a couple major studios just simply rated every game they make as AO, walmart would sell it.
They would not forgo the massive profits a game like GTA gives them morality or not
EDM is always my preference
Get some techno/trance. Something uplifting and lacking vocals.
It keeps you energized and not distracted.
Man if my school system wasted that kind of money on a debit system for lunch I think every school board member would be recalled and kicked the hell out.
Protect americans hardly.
They are going directly against the protection of people from their government.
THey are going directly against the spirit and literal writing of the constitution to gain more power.
That is treasonous of the American PEOPLE (you know, those unimportant people that give the government their power)
and then execute those responsible for the program for treason.
