Ok... That makes no sense.

the answer fits the question accurately. it makes sense.

Why? Do you want to slow down the advancement of microcomputing? Yes their marketing strategies aren't exactly favored, but they are one of the leaders in research for new ways to transmit data.

that wasn't the question. the question was, "if you could bring one company down which company would it be and why?", and the answer was "intel". the answer makes sense.

seconded

Neither the RIAA or MPAA are a company.

:confused:

they are trade associations so I would assume that they have a legal corporate status.

Yeah..well...maybe since they're funded by corporations, this thread would apply to them as well.

What's wrong with Americans fighting for their freedom?

They fight more for your freedom than the ACLU ever will.

Molon Labe!

If that is an acceptable suggestion for this thread, then I vote for taking down the Brady Campaign. Their goal is to destroy the principles this country was founded on, therefore they and all of their supporters need to be destroyed.

I don't like the way they are driving the wage mentality of the retail world, the cheap crap they market, the way they treat their employees (wage and benefit issues), nor their huge negative impact on private sector retailers. Many businesses die once a Wal-Mart springs up.

ditto for me.

nVidia and ATi. These graphic cards only fuel kids with the ability to play violent games, causing school shootings.

Seconded. A friend of mine is a department manager at Walmart pulling a bit under $40K salary, and his family health premiums are over $700/mo for only 80% coverage. That is bullshit. I've told him he should just go for private coverage, as it would probably be cheaper.

Disney.

a long, long time ago, back in the 90's, Disney bought my favorite website ever (wbs) and turned it into a steaming pile of crap (go.com)... ever since then, I've been rooting for their downfall.

No way this thread should have gone 5 pages without a mention of the entity that's doing its best to kill music as an art form.

which company would it be and why?

They all own the U.S. Government.

It is the duty of everyone to bring them all down or kiss the U.S. goodbye.

It is The United Corporations of America Vs the people.

The Corporations are winning big time.

Why? First, because it'd be easy to do and I'm not an overachiever. Second, because I'm sick of everyone telling me how awesome they are when they haven't made a reasonable chip in the past how many? years.
