  1. Wolfenstein is out tonight?

     

    I think that this game may have been overshadowed by MAG.

     

    The previous versions of this WW2 FPS were some of the best games I have every played. The multiplayer on Return to Castle Wolfenstein on the PC was some of the best multiplayer a few years ago.

     

    Metacritic has a score of 81 ...

    Here is a link to the release trailer.

    I can not stress how good the multiplayer was on return to castle wolfenstein.

    and if we don't all understand by now that a monopoly in any segment of our economy is a bad thing, than the level of knowledge/intelligence in this country is very discouraging.

     

    THere are monopolies called natural monopolies. Where the fixed cost is huge. These natural monopolies are regulated by local governments.

     

    Examples include ... cable companies, power utilities, phone companies. That is why there is only generally only one company to get cable internet from.

     

    The decision has been made, in some parts of the economy, monopolies are preferred to competition. Could you imagine two companies competing to provide cable service?

     

    Is healthcare a natural monopoly?

     

     

    Me personally, I do not like these regulated monopolies ... but we do have parts of the economy where we prefer these monopolies to private competition.

     

    Who is we? I believe in complete unadulterated competition. What would be bad about having multiple companies providing you with cable service? Would the sky fall? What would be the negative outcomes?

     

    There is a large fixed cost to get in the cable business. Five cable companies would have to provide their own cable line into your residence. For power companies, each power company would need to have its own power line system. COuld you imagine five sets of power lines connected to your house? Or what about competitive sewage?

     

    I am just saying here, the decision has been made somewhere along the line that natural monopolies should not be subject to competition and need to be regulated. I live in Florida. I have one land line phone company to chose from, one power company to get my power, and one cable company for TV. The idea is that the large fixed cost to entry makes it almost impossible for new companies to compete. The barriers to entry are to high for private competition.

     

    Some make that argument for healthcare. The fixed cost is so high, it is a natural monopoly.

     

     

    I am just making the point that there are plenty of monopolies all over the country that we deal with every day. I personally support competition in these areas. I hate having no choice. There is competitive power in new england and northern virgina, I wish we had it in Florida.

    She is most definitely good looking but that is so fucked up that someone did that. Talk about a complete invasion of privacy.

     

    SHE may have done it herself as self promotion. now she is the hottest thing on the internet and everyone is talking about her.

    fox only reports the ratings when they are on top, when they get beat there is no mention ...

     

     

    if i worked in the FBI, i would be sure to send some people to infiltrate a group like this at the meeting.

     

     

     

     

    Ratings aren't reported by Fox news or any other network they are reported by independent third party companies with no ties to anyone.

     

     

     

    yes, but when bill o reilly beats keith oberman, he says something on his show about him beating keith ....\

     

     

     

     

    BTW in the next 12 months FOX will be charging money for you to access news stories on their website. it will not be free forever. they are trying to model it after the wall street journal.
