I thought it was all about regulatory reasons and anti trust so factories couldn't undercut indy dealers then go all Standard Oil afterward.-TaoPhoenix (December 20, 2012, 11:53 PM)
But if a factory has no independent dealers for its product, how can it undercut them?-4wd (December 21, 2012, 12:42 AM)
The 5000 post cody shotglass idea is a great one. And now that we have some new Cody images from Hally, we've got some choices.
Ok, so all 5000 post count posters will get a special 5000-post shotglass at new years.-mouser (December 20, 2012, 04:04 PM)
Not to be a killjoy, but wouldn't that be an incentive to make a lot of useless BS post?-Tinman57 (December 20, 2012, 08:49 PM)

“Over the years, other manufacturers have tried operating their own retail networks, but have concluded that the franchised new-car dealer system is the best method of serving the public for its vehicle transportation needs,” he says.
You are all wrong. Haven't you seen the X-Files?
(see attachment in previous post)The aliens were forced to abandon the planet during the last ice age as their viral lifeforce is deactivated by extreme cold. Upon their departure, they left behind underground deposits of the black oil virus, in preparation for their return. The virus apparently contains the aliens' genetic blueprints, awaiting reconstitution until the master species returns to Earth. Whilst away from Earth, the Colonists evidently sought out life throughout the universe in an effort to subdue other species and take over the universe.[3] Purportedly, the Colonists planned on returning to Earth in the year 2012, as The Smoking Man (William B. Davis) later remarks to Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) that the ancient Mayans were so terrified that they stopped their calendar on the exact date of colonization: December 22, 2012.[4]

And just in time for the end of the world, we have this story:The Wreckage of the Deepwater Horizon is Emitting a Mysterious Substance Into the Gulf of Mexico
Ever since it exploded on April 20, 2010 — killing 11 crew members — BP's Deepwater Horizon oil rig has been a rotting carcass submerged in the Gulf of Mexico. In related news, the Coast Guard announced tonight that a mysterious substance is leaking from the wreckage and nobody knows what it is:An "unidentified substance inconsistent with oil" is emitting from several areas of BP's Deepwater Horizon rig wreckage, but no sources of leaking oil were identified. That's according to the Coast Guard, which oversaw BP's recent week-long mission to inspect the undersea wells and wreckage from the 2010 explosion.

Unless the Mayans took into account the fairly recent useless phenomena of daylight saving there's still another ~25 minutes to go.-4wd (December 20, 2012, 07:37 AM)

U.S. Office Rejects 2nd Apple PatentThe United States Patent and Trademark Office has dealt a blow to Apple in its legal battle with Samsung Electronics over smartphone patents, declaring that a patent that helped Apple win $1.05 billion in damages against Samsung in a jury trial should not have been granted.

Of the six patents that were the basis of the ruling against Samsung, this is the second that the patent office has concluded, on re-examination, should not have been granted.

Ha. Ha. Just laugh it up as you drown in a tsunami, trying to dodge energy bolts fired by alien assassins while a zombie chews at your feet and a Great Old One flays the skin off your face and you realize you're going to burn in Hell~!-Renegade (December 19, 2012, 08:36 PM)-PhilB66 (December 19, 2012, 10:05 PM)
How did you decide on what resizing algorithm to use?

Wrong. It's a pole shift. The world will have 1000 tsunamis all at the same time. All life will be extinguished, except for the zombies. Oh, forgot - a zombie apocalypse will start in the morning. The pole shift is at noon. Alien invasion in the late afternoon, and the rapture in the evening.-Renegade (December 19, 2012, 06:27 PM)
You're completely wrong, this morning I found the Necronomicon, (my wife had hidden it under the bed - I'll be having words with her after all this apocalypse thing is over).
So be prepared for Giant Evil Gods!-4wd (December 19, 2012, 06:43 PM)
