About a year ago I bought some cheap surgical implements through them. When asked for feedback I mentioned that they were suitable for hobbiest use but were made in Pakistan and were not reliable for their intended purpose. <br /><br />About six months later I got an notice from Amazon that my feedback was expunged as it violated some terms of use. In fact there was no written definition covering my violation. Clearly, mentioning the shortcomings of Pakistani products set off some of Amazons many subcontinent and sub-competent employees.

"But by the same token, you don't want it to appear that's the reason he's being signed."<br /><br />Having Collins on the roster could also enhance a team's community credentials.<br /><br />"His career might be extended because a team — and particularly the NBA — might see it as an opportunity to demonstrate that this announcement is a non-issue for them," said professor Stephen McDaniel, who specializes in sports and entertainment marketing at the University of Maryland.<br /><br />"Not that he is in the same strata as an athlete, but maybe you could argue that a team or league could see this symbolic of being inclusive in the same way we view the Dodgers and Jackie Robinson in baseball."<br /><br /><b>It could even put more bodies in the seats</b>, but the real benefit will be for Collins, who is now on the radar of sponsors.<br /><br />His only current endorsement deal is with Nike, which said in a statement that it's proud of his "courage." Experts say if he has a jersey to wear next season, Nike could raise his profile and other brands will likely consider him.<br /><br />"I don't think you'll see him on a Wheaties box," said Robert Tuchman, former president of TSE Sports & Entertainment, who noted that big mainstream brands may be more cautious in embracing an athlete whose name is so closely associated with a hot-button social issue.<br /><br />"But there are going to be brands that want to get behind him," he added. <b>"I think you'll see brands that are more hip and cool and really in touch with 18-25 [year-old demographic]."</b>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-72830092680454569092013-05-01T13:14:32.310-07:002013-05-01T13:14:32.310-07:00Have you tried "Collins su"?Have you tried "Collins su"?Davidhttp://david-passingparade2.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-25212492046698947692013-05-01T10:36:29.645-07:002013-05-01T10:36:29.645-07:00google also won't suggest piratebay.google also won't suggest piratebay.Jerrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-26517335974219559132013-05-01T08:27:40.524-07:002013-05-01T08:27:40.524-07:00Terminology question.

For those who don't ...<em>Google big-brother-think</em><br /><br />For those who don't know, the way these auto-complete things work is that they keep track of what searches people do and how often, and then they use that data to try to guess what you might be trying to type. So if it completes "Steve Sailer" with " racist," that's because a lot of people have searched for that. Which isn't surprising, since Steve gets called that a lot.<br /><br />The point is, Google drones aren't sitting there typing in all these search phrases. They don't have nearly enough drones for that. The phrases are in there because ordinary people are searching for them. So if "Tom Cruise gay" comes up high, as I assume it used to, that's because a lot of people are interested in his gayness.<br /><br />What Google <em>does</em> have enough drones for is filtering out certain words or phrases, and that's what it sounds like they're doing here. That's not to say someone couldn't slip this into the code:<br /><br /> if( $query eq 'Steve Sailer' ){<br /> $query->append('racist');<br /> }<br /><br />But it's not likely, because that would only work for that one specific search. It's far more likely that they're doing stuff like this:<br /><br /> if( $query->contains_celebrity() and<br /> $query->contains_hateword() ){<br /> $query->discard();<br /> }<br /><br />Taking out the stuff they consider hateful, in other words, while letting hateful stuff they agree with stay in the database and even move up to take the empty spots.Cail Corishevhttp://cailcorishev.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-9598809655446938112013-05-01T06:37:10.473-07:002013-05-01T06:37:10.473-07:00The Undernews is a Mickey Kaus coinage.The Undernews is a Mickey Kaus coinage.Christopher Paulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-89716830748274376142013-05-01T05:41:06.424-07:002013-05-01T05:41:06.424-07:00Seriously, what possible competition does he have ...<i> Seriously, what possible competition does he have for that title? </i><br /><br />George Wallace, obviously. <br /><br /><i> "If the Vietnam War was not winnable within 90 days of his taking office, Wallace pledged an immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops ...
