No paycheck in it for people who would conspire to cause 9/11?

Do you not realize that as General Smedley Butler said "War is a racket", and that 9/11 ultimately led to two extremely profitable wars. Cheney's Halliburton profiteering netted him a sweet $36 million up to his election, and after it gained $8 million in stock options (but the spotlight on that profiteering in an election year forced him to give it to charity for public image reasons).

War is mighty profitable and the only way to guarantee you can get a war started is to stage an attack or goad an enemy to attack you.

Was this a plug for Nationwide insurance? Or do people hope that by pretending like it's a big deal that other insurers will follow suit?

I definitely am happy to hear that insurers are going to cover it, but since when did people have to pay to download the same thing twice? Do the music companies really have such a death grip on us? Or are the american people willing to spend more and more on their grotesquely pathetic stars.

We should have never allowed music companies to stretch this information boundary.

Gone are the days when music stars had to actually work for a living. As if it's that hard. U2 pulled in $140 million and Rolling Stones pulled $160 million in 2005.

Besides, charging other people to play your music is unheard of. Beethoven didn't have the police go around and take money from minstrels! If he wanted to earn money he played in a concert!

Not sure about the price choi, but I remember LaCie came out with a terabyte external drive a year or so ago. So maybe they are cheaper now.

The 1 TB external drive was $1,200 back then. So maybe just six or seven hundred now.

As for this nice 640GB, I think I might switch to a Mac now. Microsoft had me holding on for Vista, but if Vista never comes out.... I'm tired of MS-BS.

Nice PVR. Like the auto-update features.

Yeah I read lying box at first too. What does lyng mean? I looked it up and can only find it to be the name of a British town...

That will never sell in the US.

What is it with these big name products trying to be something they're not (quite literally) I thought they have an I-pod phone (disaster as I predicted), now a Sony PSP phone? Who on EARTH would use that as their cell phone?

The only good use for an voice feature would be for PSP wireless games. Maaaybe. Not worth a price hike to hear a bunch of 7 year olds.

I'll fork out the extra $15 for a USB extension cable.

Been a while since I've played Sonic... I dunno if it's just me, but I enjoy the old-school games more than MOST games these days. I just played duck hunt y-day with the gun, haha good times.

Wow. Never been called a leftie. I donate to the GOP, and run a conservative blogs, I live in Dixie and fly the confederate flag.

China will go to war for 3 primary objectives to avoid economic collapse.

1. China will nationalize our holdings and will probably dump its holdings of US Treasury bonds and switch to gold and euros.

2. China will most likely attack Taiwan to finish their war that goes back 60 years as a tool of appeasement to old Communist sentiments, to hide their fascist face. They will nationalize all infrastructure in Taiwan.

3. Less likely but possible: Myanmar. A majority of their oil comes from the region. They would stand to benefit strongly from invading.

But I added this: "Just gotta hope their population loves us enough by then." I hope the powers of capitalism and freedom have changed their Han nationalistic, Tibetan-torturing, Mongolian-genociding ways, and their "foreign-devil" attitudes toward the West.

Or else, by Jingo, we have a war ahead of us.

Though I think we might have an extra ace. I don't think the korean test just "failed" 35 seconds into launch.

Oh and in Pakistan when Nike and Reebok were fored to shut down their factories because of world opinion, tens of thousands of Pakistanis were again unemployed.

According to UPI, mean family income in Pakistan fell by more than 20%.

It's not like people in third world countries can get a cushy office job.

In a study, A MAJORITY of the 50,000 laid-off sweatshop child workers (because of foreign intervention) in Bangladesh later became prostitutes, turned to crime, or starved to death.

The path to hell is paved with good intentions.

This is a winner. Another oscar?

I mean, it shows both sides in a way that is respectful to both, and yet peaks the curiousity.

I know I'll wath Flags of our Fathers, and instantly want to see Red Sun, Black Sand. I wonder if they will time the releases together.

This is smart marketing, AND saves on budget, AND gets two seperate target audiences, who might even in turn watch both films!
