  Re: Did Dish just obsolete themselves?

  no because dish has an advantage that neither the cable carriers and even in some cases internet and OTA have- the only thing you need is a clear view of the sky, and electricity.
  the US is a lot bigger then most people realize and there are parts that satellite and/or high powered AM radio are the only broadcast services you are really going to get.

  Re: Re: Re:

  yup, and what will happen is this (not exactly verbatim, but the general flow):
  
  CBS will cut a deal with AMC to include walking dead
  then a deal will be cut to include HBOs offering so you get all three (even if you dont want all three, you wont have a choice).
  and it will just continue to grow and morph until we have the exact same thing as we have now... except on the internet.
  
  and because the only thing that actually changed was the "on the internet" part, some idiots will launch "geothermal nuclear patent party" simply because the exact same thing exists but now "on the internet" and deals will be struck and prices will go up and ta-da! the only thing thats changed is the transmission medium.

  Re:

  the concerning issue is not how many have access to these documents, the possibility of them being leaked or even who specifically should or should not have access to them.
  
  the really concerning part is:
  why is the US engaging in activities so abhorrent that the mere leaking of these activities would cause such detrimental harm to the US?
  I think we really should be focusing on that and then we can worry about who has access to what and if they even should.

  Re: Re: Awful

  a serious question here:
  
  what does it say that i have no clue at all what any of these movies are and i could only tell you that stallone is apparently in them and i only know that because of an article that was on [H].
  i would have to think that if your major release movie is so bad that not one person i know has said anything to me about these movies ever, and i have not even come across so much as an add on youtube for ANY of the existing three movies... you have made some serious errors that started way back when the first person said "yes! lets do this movie!!!"

  Re: Liberal?

  you need to go back to school then.
  
  its the party who is not in the whitehouses turn to cry about slights against the citizenry. does not matter what they are crying about and sometimes they will cry about the exact same thing when the party in the whitehouse changes.
  
  anyone who believes there is really any difference between the two current political parties needs to pull their nose out of the books for a few seconds and look around the current landscape.

  you folks are missing something very key here and its the aggravated stalking charge.
  
  in florida if a death occurs as a result of aggravated stalking- that opens the door for a 1st degree murder charge.
  
  which changes the entire landscape of the thing wouldnt you agree?
