Apple doesn’t spend to increase market share. It spends to increase profit. People have a hard time understanding this.

Doubtful. The cost of land here is crazy high and shipping costs affect us too. The double whammy is that it is expensive to get equipment and parts out to us. And don’t forget about labor costs.

The people that really need to know how to insert a 500mb string will actually explain why they need to do so (beyond the typical “it doesn’t work”). The ones that can’t explain why are almost always unaware of the actual problem they need

It really isn't though. What happened after this incident has no bearing on what happened before the incident. Does his status provide a motive for a false accusation? Sure, but that is different from evidence.

While that’s probably true, does that justify his actions?

In the best (and rarest) examples of SO, those comments percolate into the accepted answer as edits (and marked as such).

How is lobbying pay-to-play?
524.
by sosborn 9y ago
It might not be called lobbying, but I assure you equivalents exist. The thing is that most people think that lobbying = bribery. It simply isn’t true. The process can be corrupted, but that is true regardless of the vehicle.

> they can't compete against billions of dollars funded by well funded corporations. How would getting rid of lobbying change that equation? If lobbying was gone, what mechanism would be used to discuss issues with legislators?

My point is that if they can catch a significant other cheating, the divorce settlement equation can change significantly.

I get what you are saying, but there can be legal/financial concerns attached to these things.

It’s lowest common denominator because it is so common. If there were only a handful of Starbucks it would still be highly sought after. Now, you can’t turn a corner without seeing Starbucks. Same thing happened to Godiva.

I don’t really disagree with you, but my point was that the original assertion that they made out because the OP pirated the content is false.

You know you are talking about tv shows and movies right?

by sosborn 9y ago
Financially they lost. They can’t sell advertising based on the number of people who pirate the show. Yeah, the advertisers made out (assuming you didn’t skip the ads) but the content producer did not.
