  Someone once said that any publicity is better than no publicity. The more the better.
  By doing this, it guarantees Mr. Trump will add to the scope of his publicity. Just look at the impact here. Mr. Trump is not a typical point of discussion at techdirt.

• On the post: How The CIA's Torture Program Is Destroying The Key Foreign Power The US Had: The Moral High Ground

  

  Coach George ( profile ), 25 Dec, 2014 @ 06:17pm

  Hmmmm Lets See

  The Moral High Ground, lets see how we could really lose it:
  1-Nuke anyone that attacks us
  2-Execute anyone that disagrees with us.
  3-Make sites like this disappear, truly eliminate "Free Speech"
  4-Jail or Execute dissenters
  5-Eliminate the "Rule of Law"
  6-Dissolve a government that can be changed by people that actually give a dam. We can vote change.
  7-Eliminate the freedom of religion or the Freedom to have no religion.
  8-Permanently occupy countries that we are forced to go to war with.
  9-Don't forgive debt to the countries that we bailed out.
  10-Shut our boarders and don't give a S&*t about the rest of the world.
  11-Finally, when we are forced to go to war, leave the losing country in the destroyed state.
  The comments in this piece are funny/sad.

  The CIA's network is private, I can't get to it. So did they lie or do spin?

  Pull Their Software Licenses!

  Microsoft and Google should suspend what ever licenses the DOJ is using, immediately and keep them suspended until open access to the court documents are made available!

  Surprised? Really???

  With all of the negative press and govt. conversation, not to mention the lobbying by Verizon and Sprint are you really surprised?
  
  IMHO, a good decision.

• On the post: How Many Times Will Skype Be Acquired For Too Much Money By Big Tech Companies With Little Strategic Synergies?

  

  Coach George ( profile ), 10 May, 2011 @ 06:57am

  Consider this

  Consider this:
  Skype to be integrated into every windows PC in the world with a service pack update. This now grows Skype's accessibility and awareness virtually over night. Because it is there, it will be used. Keep it as a cross platform service while having it as a "standard" feature in Windows.
  
  Just a thought.

• On the post: 'Economics In One Lesson' Apparently Doesn't Include Pricing; Kindle Version Most Expensive

  

  Coach George ( profile ), 25 Apr, 2011 @ 05:37am

  Re:

  Pricing is very rarely about the cost of production. It is always about the cost the market will bear. Kindle users are paying a premium for a gadget to read books with. Typically they have money and are younger, so charge more.

• On the post: Metered Bandwidth Isn't About Stopping The Bandwidth Hogs; It's About Preserving Old Media Business Models

  

  Coach George ( profile ), 01 Feb, 2011 @ 10:02am

  Re: I hope metered plans don't last

  You miss the point. Income is flat. This is not acceptable in business. It would not be acceptable to you or I either. Consider if we never received raise's, cost of living or otherwise.
  There are two solutions:
  1-Innovation
  2-Regulation
  
  Regulation is easier and guaranteed until a competitor bucks the system.

• On the post: Man Acquitted In Lawsuit Over Filming The TSA And Not Showing ID

  

  Coach George ( profile ), 24 Jan, 2011 @ 03:17pm

  you do not, in fact, need ID to fly

  "Mocek had no ID on him and noted (correctly) that you do not, in fact, need ID to fly"
  Really????
  
  Is the ID requirement a regulation and not a law???

  Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: The REAL danger

  Do what Labor Unions Do, BOYCOTT!!
  Boycott the airlines!
  If you have to travel, try the bus or train.
  If you have to fly, Boycott the scanners.
  Blog it up, spread the word.
  With enough peaceful dissent, the airlines will force a change.
  This is one way we can effect change.

  We, the US Citizens are Too LAZY to organize and give a DAMM and the politicians know this. WE, the US Citizens, have given control to the politicians. If We, the US Citizens, cared enough WE, the US Citizens, can take it back.
  
  I hope my point is clear now.

  Look at the statistics of how few American's vote in each general election.
  "American usage
  
  In U.S. politics, some parallels can be drawn between the general election in parliamentary systems and the biennial elections determining all House seats"

  Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: The REAL danger

  You, WE, control Congress by our Votes.
  Plain and Simple. Congressmen are up for re-election every two years, the Senators have 6 year terms.
  Build coalitions on line, the beauty of the internet.

  Re: Re: We DO Control Our GOVT

  "Capitol Hill trivia for you: Did you know that often times the actual Congresspersons don't even READ the bills they're scheduled to vote on? They're quite often foisted down to one of their ASSISTANTS to condense and give them some sort of "Reader's Digest version", which don't necessarily include discreetly slipped-in trinkets that are written in such a way that they are MEANT to be overlooked, and signed into law anyway..."
  This is one reason I stopped watching C-Span. It was obvious the Senators and Congressmen didn't read the bills and amendments. Another other reason is that it was blatantly obvious that they want power and the only way for junior representatives to get it is to blindly Kiss the A$$'s of their leadership.
  I live inside the beltway and it makes me sick.

  WE, US Citizens.
  The Electoral college aside, one person one vote, regardless of wealth.
  We, the US Citizens are however Too LAZY to give a DAMM and the politicians know this. WE, the US Citizens, have given control to the politicians. If We, the US Citizens, cared enough WE, the US Citizens, can take it back.
