what colour is the sky in your world? First, agribusiness is dominated by a few large companies that act in a monopolistic/cartel fashion (almost all of them have been accused and convicted of fixing prices - see ADM). Second, the upfront investment needed by farmers to participate in this kind of agriculture (having to buy new seeds each year instead of keeping some from the previous crop, massive $600,000 tractors, sprayers, etc) mean that most farmers are in debt to banks for life and the only thing that sustains this type of agriculture is subsidies by protectionist governments. this type of agriculture has not been proven to reduce the price of food. Agricultural subsidies by governments keep the prices low, which suits the large agribusinesses just fine, as farmers are able to buy these expensive seeds/chemicals and the agribusinesses are able to buy the crops from farmers at low prices to feed their high-margin cabohydrate industry.
ummm....no. Creep came out in the early 90's. Radiohead is famous because OK Computer is regularly cited as one of the top 10 albums of all time. Not to mention "The Bends" is one of the great Rock Albums of all time.
i have no problems sending mp3s from my blackberry 8830 to a macbook using bluetooth although the transfer speeds are very slow even with the BB only a few inches from the laptop.
that is the most hilarious and astoundingly incorrect post i have read in ages. i don't even know where to start picking apart your "Fox Network" delusions. maybe you could start educating yourself by reading "A People's History of the United States of America" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_People's_History_of_the_United_States/
Exactly true. HMV has been by far the most expensive place to buy music in Canada since the 80's. no one buys music there, which is why they switched to selling DVD's and are now probably just lowering the prices on CD's to clear out their stock of anything that isn't Top 10.
if the artists could all put a paypal donation link on their personal websites that says: "if you downloaded our music and liked it, please donate a dollar. We promise none of it will go to RIAA or our label". of course their labels would probably dump them if they did this.
So are you saying that people wouldn't pay to see a spiderman movie if the character was in the public domain? i think Mel Gibson proved that you can make an assload of money off of a story and characters that have been in the public domain for 2,000 years.
i manage windows networks of varying sizes (20 to 120 users) and we use a package called privilegemanager http://www.beyondtrust.com/products/PrivilegeManag er.aspx/ that takes care of these problems quite nicely (works on standalone machines as well as integrates with Active Directory). no users need admin rights and all the poorly designed software out there will run correctly, no need to tweak registry settings or file/folder permissions. It also obviously helps prevent spyware and viruses.
Ontario's nuclear power record is atrocious. huge debt, huge subsidies. pretty much a boondoggle from day 1. feel free to google for "ontario nuclear power boondoggle". Ontario's taxpayers are on the hook for billions due the nuclear power clusterfuck in that province.

brega is a slang term for a whorehouse in Northeastern Brasil. fits quite nicely when discussing the RIAA.

i was going to reply with that whole poisoning scene from The Princess Bride but i am too tired.

We all wear ski masks and the snow is so deep you can't see our licence plates (and dog sleds don't need to be licenced anyways).
