Blackburn received $10,000 from the National Cable & Telecommunications Association this year and last year, according to OpenSecrets.org. She received $12,500 in contributions from Verizon, $10,000 from AT&T, $7,500 from Comcast, and $7,000 from representatives of Time Warner Cable. (These donations come from the companies' political action committees, employees, or owners.)
here's why ... simple economics. Homeland security makes this "surplus" military hardware available for cheap. When a small town police force has the choice of spending $56K on a new SUV it's tactical response team or $8K on a surplussed APC it's kind of a no-brainer which one they'll buy.

That is a TROLL!!

No ... that's a good question ... perhaps Tim was being figurative ?
and Valve isn't going to send jackbooted goons to you door no matter what they find ...
I'm just saying that those who want the deal to succeed (whether you're paid to take that position or not) might just want to dial back the bullshit just a tad this time around.
Frankly Karl ... I'd prefer you don't help them with you're editorial suggestions. The fuller of bullshit they are, the easier it is for the dumbasses to smell them and reject their "logic".

But yeah their sound is dissonant and disturbing to say the least ... not surprised it's been used to torture people.
Hollywood will catch onto this idea of "good movies make people go to the theaters".
You Sir, are an optimist...
When that happens, you'll see nothing but Adam Sandler movies flooding the silver screens across America.
or possibly a pessimist...
I can't think of a better way to ensure a poor box office year
who is cruel! (truthful, but cruel!) otoh there is always the possibility of them releasing nothing
