The fools at Monster Cable sued Disney/Pixar over the "Monsters Inc." film and got their butt kicked. Officially it was "settled", which really meant Monster went away empty handed and probably paid Disney's legal expenses to boot!
Occam's Razor: don't presume a conspiracy is responsible for crappy behavior. The simplest explanation for crappy behavior is that the person or persons doing it are just @$$#0[3$.
I actually subscribe to HBO but I pirate Game of Thrones anyway because I prefer the freedom of watching it on my computer to having to go to the room where I have a cable box and watch it on the tv.
Chicago was declared the most politically corrupt city in the nation by the Univ of Illinois. Illinois the third most corrupt state. You would expect its leaders to try to hide from the people. Note Obama is Chicago's ranking politician ;-)
You mean, beyond providing CDs for free, employ 500 people including many Debian developpers, bringing Linux for the masses, create an easy to use distro, certify hardware that works out of the box, have deals with HP, Asus, Acer, Dell, Lenovo, etc to provide Ubuntu pre-installed, invest in server and cloud technologies you can download and use for free, provide repositories, packages and upgrades for free, etc? Yeah, they do so little...
What the police are saying is that warning oncoming traffic of anything that might effect they way they are driving is illegal. For instance there is a 10 car pileup around the corner or the bridge is out, tell anyone in an attempt to create a safer passage. your asking for a fine.
Of course I understand that way of thinking and so should everyone.
It is legal to follow you everywhere you go. Thus, determining the location of someone is trivial. What is wrong with following someone's tracks? If you ride your horse into the forest, anyone can track you because you left tracks. Today's tracks are electronic! That's progress. If you carry electronics it can be tracked any number of ways. If you don't want to be tracked, turn your stuff off and don't ride horses!
They used of the logo and the film maker's name without his permission.
those people were not able to light their water on fire before the fracking started, and now they can.
citing studies in other parts of the world, at other times in history is complete BS and a ridiculous tactic.
The clown asking questions is a buffoon and an idiot.
He is using non-sequiturs, taking things out of context, and it will be interesting to follow the money on him.
The documentary is scientifically sound and the guy is not lying. If you have to do your -own- research, then do it.. but the fact is the fact..
Besides, what the hell is wrong with you people? do you really want those chemicals pumped into the ground and contaminating your water? seriously.. are you stupid?
well, you don't have to answer that.. but I can tell you this.. if you try that "drill baby drill" s***t and that fracking in the great lakes region of the upper midwest.. you're going to learn about second amendment solutions really quick.. so good luck.. we like our water here, and we are only trying to protect your water supply, so quit your whining and convert to a free competition economy so we can have new energy sources.
There never has been probable cause required when entering any country. The recent case was if they could take it to another location for a search. Usually searches have to be done right there. General advice for all international travel is don't take contraband with you.
Actually, this is just a simple case of truth terrorism. The army of news journalists have been trained in liberal institutions without any sense of ethics or morality. Journalists are now at the same level as Osama bin Laden.
Sorry kiddies, the days of all you can eat Internet are coming to an end. 98% of mobile users are consuming 200mb or less a month and that is static across all the carriers. They know this. The other 2% are tech nerds or people who want to stream movies or music and they are using services that the carriers want to provide and monetize for themselves. The studios are also pushing them to clamp down on large volume data usage as another way to close down torrent freaks and downloaders.
So what if you break the contract and go somewhere else? Think it's going to be any different? Not for very long. Eventually, ALL carriers will be like this.
If you go the sim route, you will still end up paying for what you use. No one is going to sell you a sim with 50gb of data transfer in a month. No one.
It will happen, get used to it or stop using the Internet. Go outside. Take walks. Unplug. Sing to yourself and play scrabble.
Obama appointed the progressives to high positions in his administration. He has approved the TSA's actions. Your child is being sexually assaulted on Obama's orders. Obama is the lead pedophile! the lead pervert attacking your spouse! Go after Obama if you object to sexual perversion. Demand that his kids be put in a foster home! Have him charged as a pedophile! He is the leader. He approved the sex. He is responsible for the result.
These stupid lawsuits costs the consumer millions of dollars. The company doesn't pay for the legal fees, you do! Your can of beer is some number of pennies or nickles more because of lawyers and screwed up tort law.
This whole incident has very little to do with Google's map. And, while on a recent visit to CR, I heard several comments disparaging Nicaraguans. The two countries have different economic positions, which produces a constant clash.
CR has loads of tourism income (and they're milking it for every dime they can demand!), Nicaragua appears to have much less, and consequently, more to gain in coming up with a new scheme.
The Salahis are broke dead beats who have multiple unpaid judgments against them in multiple courts. It looks like their creditors are catching on that they are getting $50K per episode so the summons are gonna start flying.f They already got hit with one at their premier party. Michaele has been trying to be famous for years. She lies constantly about her background. She says she was a redskins cheerleader although the redskins deny any connection. She says she was a make-up artist...well if you count the makeup counter at Nordstrums. She says she is an international and "national" (yes her words) model. Her big international modeling gig was a Japanese Mattress ad.
She is lying about being invited to the White House. They were Begging Michelle Jones from the Pentagon starting 3 days before the event. The only reason she asked for their information to be vetted was in case she got them tickets which Ms. Jones has stated she never got.
Public emails show they went to the WH not knowing if they were invited. Michaele said recently she would not go to the White House chancing it but their emails totally contradict that. Compare her statements she is making now and read the emails and you will see she was not invited. You are only famous for crashing the WH party and nothing more. No one cares about your style or clothes you wear. Get over yourselves!
