  Re: right and wrong

  People are still required to report the sales tax on their income, but nobody does. Having Amazon and other online companies collect the sales tax is the best, and right solution.
  
  At the end of the day, Amazon may not have a foot in my state, but if they are selling products to my state, then need to be collecting sales tax in my state

  If you don't like the prices offered, after taxes and shipping, don't buy it online. However if you think the convience of buying from home, a vast supply of products, and delivery to your door is worth the difference in price, buy online.

  Re: Re: The Freedom to "Steal"

  How do you expect there to be more competition in the cellular market? There is a HUGE cost of entry to the cell provider business, not to mention it would take 10 years to build out a network to compete with what the current providers have today, let alone what they'll have in 10 years. This isn't a government caused problem.
  
  At the end of the day, corporations will throw their users under a bus if it means higher profits. Net neutrality protects consumers from this.

  Haha, that post makes me laugh.
  
  The only 'sense of entitlement' I have is the entitlement to the things I paid for. I am not being given anything, I am receiving the services that I pay for.
  
  So yeah, if you call that a sense of entitlement, then guilty as charged; I have a sense of entitlement about everything I pay for

  No see, lets use some definitions her, shall we?
  
  From merriam-webster: (ironically enough, they won't let me copy and paste the definitions)
  
  Theft: the act of stealing; specifically; the felonious taking and removing of personal property with intent to deprive the rightful owner of it
  
  Share: to divide and distribute in shares
  
  
  Now, one of those definitions fits, and one doesn't. Lets see if you can figure it out

  Re: UBC actually bans routers! READ THIS!

  The router is a computer, and it is the only thing 'connected' to the 'resnet port' (never heard of THAT connector).
  
  Or you could tell them to kiss your ass. I told my university, "I pay $20,000 a year to go here, and you are not going to tell me what I can and cannot do with the internet connection I PAY FOR"

  While these states do require 2 party knowledge, an officer should not be considered someone with privacy rights. The officer is doing their job; a service to the public, and as such, should have no right to privacy on the job

  Re: Re:

  PS2 compatibility is totally different, my friend.
  
  The PS3 emulated PS2 (and PS1) like the PS2 did: The PS2 had a PS1 chipset inside of it to provide physical emulation, instead of a software emulation. Since the PS3 was selling at a big loss, they cut PS2 (and PS1) emulation out because it saved them the money from shoving a PS2 and PS1 into it. That didn't have anything to do with piracy

  kryptonianjorel ( profile ), 21 Feb, 2011 @ 09:31am

  I disagree

  "there's a big difference between an idea and executing on the idea"
  
  This guy apparently did try to execute the idea, but Disney and Dreamworks wouldn't work with him. So "Kung fu Panda Power" wasn't produced due to a lack ambition, but a lack of resources.
  
  There are too many connections between Gordon and Eisner and Katzenberg to brush this off as a coincidence.
  
  This about it this way; 'Jeff' pitch a story idea to DW, they decline, and 2 years later, they produce a movie similar to your idea. So, by Mike's argument, since Jeff didn't execute on his idea whereas DW did, he has no leg to stand on.
