Corporations love big government instating a bunch of rules to freeze out their competitors. Corporations aren't Marxist entities. But they don't have problems with leftist governments. Or right. It really just depends.
Corporations compete and aren't in agreement about anything.
First, last I checked, governments were awash in revenue. They just have spent even more. You are essentially arguing that the gambling addict has too much debt so we should give him more money. No thanks.
And what exactly is their "fair share"? There is none that can be objectively ascertained.
Btw, did you overpay your taxes? You're allowed to and not take your deduction.
How something impacts Android is completely dependent on how it would affect you? There may be a few people out there who decided to go with Android because they didn't want to switch to AT&T.
If you want money out of politics, I would suggest getting the politics out of money.
You have an over-active government that meddles in absolutely everything. Wouldn't anyone want to influence a government which can ruin them with one line of regulation out of a 2000 page law?
I live near Philly. We've seen, first hand, unions try to impose insane work rules. It's almost as if they were hell bent on bring down our region.
It's not just that they are more expensive, but their work rules and protection of ineffective workers hurt businesses.
Killing the goose that lays the golden eggs is just not a concern to them.
At least that perception I have (and others) is the reason why we have an anti-Union attitude. Seeing constant strikes for relatively sane reforms in France doesn't lend support to the perception either.
All I really wanted was an Unix I didn't have to meddle with. So I wasn't interested in Linux (at the time). I just wanted to move away from Windows. That left OSX as the default option for me, and I've been very pleased.
Vertica can handle lots of data in a very fast manner (at least for data warehousing). They use a MPP architecture. Commodity hardware in a cluster running Linux.
No need for big machines. You can use lots of little ones.
I used to work at Lockheed Martin and I worked with a tremendous amount of talented people. The people tended to be a little more risk-averse, career-wise.
The likelihood of working 60 hour weeks is less, which is an attractions. Benefits used to be good. So it just attracts different people.
I was recently let go, so I'm now a contractor by necessity. I love it.
My previous work situation was crazy. Stereotypical stuff. Managers gave you a ton of stuff. We were working on horribly undermanned projects with very poor processes. And if something went wrong you were on the hot seat.
Contracting seems, so far to me, to keep the b.s. at a minimum.
The only problem is the benefits. Right now, if I get sick, I'm sorta screwed.

Sun basically made a Java implementation (partial implementation, whatever) but didn't call it Java. So they may be in breech of Sun's licenses.

I'm glad you recognize the error of George Lucas's logic has led you astray.

Imagine how much better our economy would be if our tax system encouraged corporations instead of discouraged them to move capital to our country.
Unless you believe that all money ultimately belongs to the government, I fail to see how this is evil.
I look for every deduction I can grab as well. So does almost everyone else. This isn't wrong.
Is this true or is this like when my Italian friends insist that Saint Patrick was Italian?

See some nice examples on the left of creepy cult of personality.
You've haven't been watching enough Looney Tunes. You get rid of the elephant with a mouse and the cycle repeats.
Imagine going through this crap.
Chuck in Fargo needs help building his barn.
Mary in New York needs to borrow some fertilizer.
Some data miner for Farmville hates his life.
Well, you have to get developers to develop for it. After RIM, iOS, and Android, I can't envision a new entry making too much headway.
If I'm wrong, so be it.
Maybe true. Probably a case of too little too late. They had numerous years to get it together.
They can only follow, which is fine. But they had plenty of chances to lead.

The U.N. is corrupt and they most likely wanted to give some individual a job where they didn't have to do anything.

It's the sugar lobby who caused this whole mess.
I believe Coke was one of the first to make the switch. In a free market, sugar would be much cheaper and that's what would be used.
I'm also pretty sure this causes problems for candy and other food manufacturers. It makes their products more expensive.

I also meant to say "set amount of pages". This applies to all mediums.
Anytime you have a set amount of time you have to fill or a set amount of time on-air, you'll get a bunch of "news" that isn't newsworthy.
I think the thing that was most impressive, at the time, was how they got JavaScript to do all that in a browser. Now, that was impressive.
Is it my impression or did AJAX really take off after people saw Google Maps?

Stonebreaker started an open source database to implement the concepts he talks about.
