But that's you. You're a geek like me. We put products on our hate list and refuse to buy them because we don't want to be treated that way again.
But the average Joe (like my dad) doesn't think that way. Citibank bought his mortgage with 5 months left on it and tried to swindle him out of his house by no longer sending bills to the address. (They claimed they had the wrong address on file. On a mortgage?!?). They made them go to the projects in LA for their payoff, to a really shady neighborhood where old people wouldn't feel safe.
Eventually they paid it off and a year or two later, they retired, sold it and moved. My Dad needed some accounts to put the money in, so where did he put it? The local CITIBANK BRANCH. I'm like, "Dad, they tried to steal your house! Why would you do business with them?"
"They're a good company."
This is why annoying advertising is constant. It may not work on you or me, but it works on the rest of the bell curve.
Answer: Because there is more to education than the measures used to tell us that Japan and England keep kicking our butts. The reality is that there is education for education's sake and there is education for the real world. And Japan and England are failing miserably at the latter.
Google could aggressively market "Google Consultants" that replace your Oracle environment with a PostgresSQL environment for the cost of consulting labor (after all, the tools are free). They could take out Oracle easily with a move like this.
Really? I beat Contra with a friend about the 2nd or 3rd time I played (using all the Continues). It wasn't THAT hard. Try Batman or Fester's Quest. Now THOSE were hard.
Seriously, who's going to give me better value for that money. Google gives me more things that make my life better than the government does these days.
But you can. This is not like the kids in Netherlands who are getting shafted for writing a better stock robot.
Set up corporation overseas.
Make money overseas.
Transfer money to account in island country.
???
Profit.
Note how in all of that, the money was never on US soil. Therefore, why should the US government get any of it?
Moral of the story: If you are going to set up a huge advertising network business on top of your successful US-based search engine, make sure that you set it up in a country with favorable tax laws, and that the money from THAT corporation never hits US soil.

Microsoft should just offer this appliance for $29/seat or something. They would make a killing.
Yes. Apparently they are very fat in Australia: http://idle.slashdot.org/story/10/10/28/170207/School-Children-Are-Now-Too-Fat-to-Fit-In-Class-Chairs?from=rss.
That was just today, man! Try to keep up.
If all of these countries supposedly keep eating our lunch in math and sciences, then why do we (the USA) keep winning all the Nobel prizes?

Maybe she was nervous because, you know, her companion was carrying drugs through an Israeli checkpoint.
Is the US really going to take down a jet full of British passengers (many of which would be returning American citizens)?
Have you ever watched hockey? If you had, you would know it is the Europeans that have no balls.

That's for the typical TV viewing distance of at least 5-6 feet. It has nothing to do with small, handheld screens.
Really? I had to plug wires into panels and pull dead flies out of the works.
Hah, silly man. How cute to think that would give you anonymity on Facebook...

Exactly, they're ignorant because they refused to watch The Phantom Menace.
C'mon, it's not his fault. If he lives in the US, he doesn't know the rest of the world exists.

Yes. When you ask your ISP for a new IPv4 address, they'll say, "We don't have any."
Jesus was a saint. Look at what happened to him. Heck, look at the saints...
The reality is, anytime you challenge the current power brokers, expect to be fried.
And whether we really even need a sun blotter since there is no global warming, only climate change...
Whereas in the Bible they are ALL true.
Ah, those were the days. But you needed to do a full format on them first or they would lose the data.
