Amortization and depreciation are relative to assets, not costs. Through it may schock, R&D is considered as a cost, and therefor may not be amortized.
It's not about the quality of education (I had the chance to compare grad school in my home country and grad school in US, I'm an alumni of Georgia Tech, and I can tell you they can compare in every point) The point is how do you find a job in the US, if you're diploma is not known outside your country/continent and you're not from US. Besides, from my point of view, having a diploma from a US grad school is just to show that I'm able to tackle issues like working in a foreign environment, being able to adapt a new culture,... And it was also an occasion to discover and visit USA. Stop thinking people are coming to US university because they are better, and try to understand it's because USA are the lead economical and cultural power in the world.
I'm wondering what happens if you talk in a non-English language. And by the way, I'm wondering if the ads are localized (meaning that I don't care of Kroger or Walmart, since I'm living in Europe)
In France, it was recently ruled that Fair Use was not a right, but an exception for, meaning that it was there only to protect the consumer against a litigation for counterfeit products, and not to allow consumers to make a backup copy, whether they bought it legally or not.
That's also why we in France must continue to pay a copy-tax on every CD, DVD, HDD, memory card,... to right holders, even if, regarding the law, each producer has the right to allow only a limited number of copy, this number being zero...
Another proven fact is that the safest place to stand in the universe, for a human being, is on the surface of the Sun (or else give me the name of someone who died or was injured there). The data doesn't lie. The sample used does.
Television and radios pay when they broadcast songs. Kazaa and the pirate bay don't. At some point, someone has to pay. When you download illegally, nobody pays.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Robert Watson is a kind of security guru for FreeBSD, isn't he ?
From his page:
Robert Watson (FreeBSD Home Page) : I'm a FreeBSD Core Team member, as well as member of the security officer and release engineering teams. I hope nobody will take it as a plot of FreeBSD to gain/keep lead over other BSDs.
You've the point. However, US, who are the only concerned by this issue, are only a part of the market of Sony. Japanese won't be affected. And Europeans, who already pay a lot for the thing, will still be able to buy them:)
Great news, isn't it ?
Do you think people discovered places like Auschwitz, Buchenwald, and so on, in 1940 ? Come on, open an history book. It was discovered when Americans went there, and clearly, nobody had ideas of what was in place at that time. Even at the trial of Nuremberg, the issue was about war crimes, and not about crimes against humanity... But you come here, 60 years later, and explain what people should have done. You're the worst kind of people. When judging people from the past, try at least to know what they knew at that time.
By the way, at that time, they were two governments for France. The "official" as you say, was official for the Germans, but for UK and USA, the official was the one in London. The leaders of the "official" were all sentenced to death.

The title is kind of misleading, since I assumed, just like you, that it was world-wide. But this is not the case here, and it's only for the US.
That's totally untrue, if you're just a bit careful.
Last years, I used to take the train a lot (like 700 kms at least during the week).
I did not experienced 8 hours of waiting the trains !
When I went to week end (in a small town in the north east of France) from Paris, it was taking me 4hours45, from my workplace to my home. (4 hours of train, 20 min of metro and 10 min of car, plus 15 min as an insurance)
Now, with the TGV, it will take me 1h30 less. That's awesome.
To add to this, you have to make a reservation to be able to use the TGV, meaning that apart from being willing to wait a long time or being really unlucky, you don't have to wait a lot, since you know exactly the departure hour and since there are no security checkpoints in stations.
As a European currently in the US, I'm also looking at the forex rates, and I wonder how European developers may teach Sony that a dollar is not worth an euro.
