That's the 'benefit' of patents - you don't need to sell your own products in order to profit. What percentage of Android devices sold do Microsoft get patent royalties for? Less so for iOS, but there's still some degree of licencing - ActiveSync for example.
Thought about it - it's not a particularly useful genetic marker. While most violent criminals are male, the majority of males aren't violent criminals.
I know exactly what a median is - the middle value of an ordered set. I guess you aren't actually reading the linked Wiki page, but for your given set the median would be 1. Here's Wolfram Alpha if you don't believe me. Again, by definition, exactly the same number of people earn above the median wage as earn below the median wage. The mean would be skewed by an unbalanced income distribution as it's calculated based on the values, but the median is based on the position of the values within the set and so outliers have a negligible impact.
You talk about the median but then compare using the mean for some reason. The median of the numbers you gave is 5, which is by definition representative of those numbers.
My idea is to split personal income taxes into two categories - earned and unearned. Earned is salaries, piece work, etc... IE you 'did' something to earn that money. Unearned is capital gains, interest, dividends, and such, money earned from the simple fact that you 'owned' something. Your first ~$10k of income in either category is taxed at 0%, after that it's tiered in parallel like the current system. Assuming an average return rate of 5%, that's $200k in investments before you start having to pay taxes on the return, which is a good amount for emergencies, college, early retirement, and what not.
That's pretty much what the UK has already. A certain amount of your annual income is tax free (about £8000 this year) after which income above that is taxed at 20% up to the next tier, above which income is taxed at 40%.
Capital gains are taxed at 18% or 28% depending on your total income, with the first £10000 in a financial year tax free. Dividend income is taxed at at the income tax rate, with a deduction to account for corporation tax (so you'd only pay income tax on the dividend if you're taxed at 40%). Bank interest is also taxed at your income tax rate (20% automatically witheld, if you're a higher rate taxpayer you declare the remaining tax on your tax return). Stock held within a tax-free account (pension, ISA) attracts no capital gains tax and no additional tax on dividends.
Obviously, if the corporation tax is abolished somebody is going to have to make up that tax revenue, which ends up being the tax-paying citizens, so the tax rate for us is only going to go up. And bear in mind that similarly to large corporations, many high net worth individuals take advantage of loopholes in the tax code to minimize their tax bill. It's not a sense of injustice that makes people go into the 'shady' areas of the law to avoid tax, it's greed.
Why would they do that? They're not charities, employing people for the fun of it. Unless there's a need for more employees, nobody else is going to be employed, and those that are employed aren't going to earn any more than the companies can get away with paying them based on the job market. And even then, those employees (and everyone else) are going to have to pay more in tax to make up for the loss of corporation tax.
Are Facebook, Google, et al. who are paying miniscule amounts of tax in Europe and elsewhere demonstrating your theory? By the relative unemployment levels between there and the US, I'm guessing not.
Because as humans, we tend to hold ourselves above inanimate objects that wouldn't exist if it were not for us creating them.
Candlesticks wouldn't exist if it weren't for a supplier making them, whereas if every company signs an exclusive contract with a union, you're forcing people to join a union to get work.
You do realise your example is still theft, right? If there is a contract or an understanding that the car is for testing, by keeping it you've stolen it.
At the very least this should be an optional default.
At least in Word 2007, it is. Second section in the advanced options is 'Cut, copy and paste', where you can set the formatting to match the document you're pasting it into.
OSX 10.4 is an antique - it's coming up to 8 years old. In any case, Ubuntu probably isn't the best distro for older hardware and the PowerPC version is only community release, not 'official' Ubuntu.
Also, Apple doesn't sell upgrades, they sell the actual OS for $20. So if you don't want to pay three times as much, you can skip as many upgrades as you want and the cost to get the latest version remains the same.
Apple's OS releases are by definition upgrades - (according to the licence) you can only install them on Apple hardware, and all Apple hardware is sold with a version of OS X preinstalled, so there is no real distinction between upgrades and full releases.
And that's a task that 95%+ of people will never use. The point of the ribbon is to give easier access the most commonly used options within the current context.
99% of users have the OS bundled with their PC and don't see the cost of Windows, so it isn't a factor for them. Even if they did, the cost of an OEM licence to HP/Dell/etc is less than $50, not $120.
I pay the BBC licence fee for my mother (she is still in England, but I'm resident in the USA), so technically I am allowed to view content over iPlayer
Accept you're not. The licence is per household, so you're paying for your mother's licence for her house, if you live seperately from her then you'd still need your own licence.

They sold off HERE at the end of last year to Volkswagen/BMW

DDG shows no results. Bing's only result is this post. Google has this post and and OpenQNX forum post... so, Google, I guess?
In the UK I'm presuming that'd already be covered under driving without due care and attention or dangerous driving.
Is that 1%/10% based on population distribution or wealth distribution?
It's a good thing he's no longer the CEO then - Larry Page has held that position for two years.
Google's stock is structured so that the founders are majority owners, one of who is the CEO. Google is being run exactly how they want it to be run.

It's also £200 more than an identically configured Macbook Air.

£1.35/L (the average price here) is pretty much EUR 1.70/L
You're funny. In the UK, the absolute least you'll be paying is EUR 0.15/kWh, and the cost of electricity has increased 25% in 4 years.
