So since they can’t agree on a business model (despite the fact they are doing both ads/subs right now) they will sell? That is so moronic. Hulu is the best placed site currently to become the TV of the internet not to mention the only real competition to freaking Netflix which all the media companies seem to hate. So why in the world would they want to sell it? One should just buy out the other, preferably Disney since they support the ad model and more importantly are so powerful they could strong arm the other media corps into putting their stuff on Hulu far easier than any of the others.

That said if they sold Yahoo would be the best choice simply because Yahoo is desperate for a successes so they’d at least try hard. TW and the like just want to smother Hulu because it competes against cable which is a cash cow.

Hilarious because IT WASN"T EVEN REAL!! http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/05/16/disney-wont-alter-princess-redesign-of-braves-merida

The 2D design was just something they were going to use on some merchandise along with the metric shit ton of merchandise that has the 3D design on it already.

one definition I found, “model of excellence or perfection of a kind; one having no equal”. Generally speaking it’s a term used to describe someone who does something good/kind when they don’t have to, especially when you would expect them to do the exact opposite.

In the case of Bill Gates you’d expect him to be a personal enemy of Jobs and to hoard his wealth. Instead he was friends with Jobs and is donating almost the entirety of his fortune to charity. So he is a class act.

I think they either put together a really lazy graphical representation or a deliberately misleading one. As it stands half my state look racists until you zoom in a see it’s just two rural towns whose combined population doesn’t even equal 1% of the total state population.

I’ve heard plenty of Asians use some of these words. What do you think non-whites have to use a different dictionary to diss other people?

How exactly were people confused? AT&T and Verizon do the same thing, they give you phone for a hundred bucks and you pay them back monthly for two years. If you leave before those two years are over you have to pay the lump sum for breaking the contract. If anything the T-Mobile plan would be clearer because now the contract to own the phone and the subscription contract are two separate things instead of bundled and hidden into each like at AT&T and Verizon.

Seeing as how Iraq built those weapons for the express purpose of defending against and threatening all of it’s neighbors, yes it makes perfect sense they would then bundle them all up and move them to one of those said neighbors. A neighbor who mind you was an ally with the United States and actively participated when it went to war with Iraq the first time in 1990.

WMD = genocide, or at least a kill count high enough that nobody cares about the difference. Anyways the US has shown a remarkable ability to get involved in pointless wars (Iraq) while completely ignoring ones it would be hailed as heros for getting involved in (Rawanda). The big difference being, again, that one side is slaughtering the other, and nothing says slaughter like some good old fashion mustard gas.

But also outside of this one country it’s also an issue that if the US lets someone use chemical weapons and does nothing about it than every other two bit dictator in the world will be falling over themselves to either get them or use them. Kind of a spare the rod, spoil the child scenario.

As for the UN if you read the article the US is waiting for some sort of UN ruling because it doesn’t want to be taking care of it by itself. Not that it matters because if anything happens it will still be US military power that does it.
