Unless this is the only airline servicing an area, I say it's time for them to suddenly find out how quickly their bottom line would drop if they just suddenly disappeared from said sites.
Their bottom line is already negative. This will give them fewer (but profitable) flights, because they will not have to compete with loss-leaders from competitors (don't match their price, no results in the search window). They do not want to be forced to take a loss every time a competitor drops their price below profitability. Making passengers deal with them directly lets them capitalize on their reputation as always being the cheapest, while creating barriers for direct price comparisons.
It is a well known fact that the amount you spend on expensive, extravagant, utterly useless
stuff is inversely proportionate to the size of your penis.
I think the GP was talking about Type I; you're talking about Type II. Believe it or not, managing to get through life without any major health liabilities is not a virtue -- it's luck.
That's not to say that some manage what life throws at them better than others, but don't think you're healthy because you deserve it. There are tons of illnesses with both hereditary and environmental causes that you have no control over. By spreading the costs of these illnesses over large pools, we as a society get maximum productivity out of people who would otherwise not be able to contribute to our progress (Stephen Hawking for example).
It would only be of limited PR value to pay the developers to keep their code and it would encourage other people to make programs based off of Hasbro's games.
It's not about PR. It's about buying large, established user-bases.
Why would they put all the time and effort into building facebook versions of their games without knowing which ones will take off, when developers can do it for them?
They can just sit back and pick off the most successful ones for guaranteed profit.
Agreed. Some companies have figured out when stop and decide "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em." Look at the Postal Service.
After facing unexpected backlash from hitting the band with a cease and desist, they came up with a mutually beneficial branding agreement: they gave the the band licensing rights to their name in exchange for the rights to sell the band's single on the USPS site and having the band play a concert at one of their conferences.
... or they notice that: their computer does not grind to a halt after being online for a week, they don't have to install anything to get a peripheral to work, it's much easier to add your entertainment center to your network, they like quicksilver, etc...
Your example is from 1982 - this was not written for egg-heads in a dark room. This was written so AT&T can record and store ALL communications going overseas and give it to the CIA/NSA/whomever to mine it or retrieve it later. That means you can end up on a target list based on what you say or type -- whether or not you are a serious threat. All electronic communication going overseas will now be recorded to generate leads, not to monitor known terrorists or criminals.
You need to weigh more than just telecom immunity when considering this vote. I'm not saying he made the right vote
Perhaps the 4th Amendment?
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Time is relative. If he made the Earth in 7 days, he was moving pretty fast. No faked evidence required.
Sorry. I meant *work* visa. You can come over for 3 months at a time on a visitor's visa.
Is a visa necessary if you have an unpaid internship?
some people might say that a "list" is not the "property" of anyone.
These people never spent years and money building and updating their customer lists.
Now it's definitely art, because we are debating whether or not it's art.

Clearly, you've never heard of the preemptive doctrine which has been official US foreign policy for the last 6 years
Fixed that for you.
It was their assigned duty, and if they acted according to objectives and training, they should not feel personally responsible.
Is that you, Dr. Milgram?
Yawn. Marcel Duchamp and Andy Warhol thought of it first. Same concept, different medium.
It is a well known fact that the amount you spend on expensive, extravagant, utterly useless stuff is inversely proportionate to the size of your penis.
Ah-ha! So THAT's why women buy so many shoes...

They simply cannot step onto the private property without permission.
I thought the issue here was that Google employees drove up a private driveway -- on to their private property -- to get the pictures...
How is this a Troll? Apple follows the steps in the GP to a tee.
Jobs was very involved with the design and UI of the iPod.
Here is my plan that I wish every corporation would adopt for near perfect design...
Try applying at Apple.

New flash: Steve Jobs will not live forever. Invest accordingly.
His Addison's disease diagnosis was nationally televised? Live?
I rather like In Rainbows, it's quite a lot more accessible than Kid A / Amnesiac / Hail to the Thief.
Too bad their audience hates accessible music.

He already has. He was against it before he was for it.
Why not vote against it?

Sure glad i'm european ... gah
. Why, because you don't have any privacy rights to give up in the first place?
