It's one thing to get a fiber hookup but it's another to get the bandwidth. Do you believe every little Nipponese boy and girl - all 150 million of the tykes - get 1G? Come this way, I've some prime real-estate for you down on the bayou.
And since he did it within in the military, he's lucky he's not facing a court martial for selling the software to Blueport and pulling this crap.
So if you're working for Company 'A' and in your off time at home you have a personal software project that you end up selling to Company 'B,' Company 'A' should be able to discipline you? I think not. If this was coded on official paid time, then I would whole agree with you, but there is no way to actually know. Therefore, the USAF couldn't legally touch him even if they wanted to.
Popular science had an article a couple months back in regards to a battery-style nuclear power plant. It was designed to be a tiny, self maintained, and closed system buried underground. Estimates had placed the life of one of these systems at roughly 50 years or so. They were designed to power small remote villages, thus could be adapted to powering neighborhoods as well, provided you want to live over an AI (very low quality one at that) controlled nuclear power plant.
I very much DO understand what I am talking about by making that kind of statement. Negative profits, massive debt.......AMD loses more per share than many companies make, and they haven't made profit in a long time.
No apparently you don't understand. In most cases debt financing of a company is cheaper than equity financing. With AMD trying to get back on its feet after the ATI debacle, lower Cost of Capital is the best approach. Their Debt to Equity ratio is also skewed due the drop in their stock price.
If you actually looked at their financial statements, $920 million of the loss was from divesture of their Handheld and DTV product businesses.
Between the R770 taking the lead in the graphics division with extremely competitive pricing aimed at quick market and deep market penetration and the overall server market constantly moving towards better power efficiency and integrated systems, AMD is fine and on track towards a recovery between Q3 and Q4.
While Japan's Debt to GDP ratio is a little off, they also have roughly $9 trillion dollars in private citizens savings. Their situation is far better than your calculation suggests.
AVG8 works with XP x64 too. (Just found out after my latest re-install) However after this new information, you might want to stick with Avast. Even if it does have that annoying "Virus Database has been Updated" announcement.
My Government Professor wrote the book that we used in class, and he encouraged us to buy it used. The Professors only make $.50 per copy (or so he estimated). At the final he even provided us with bagels/doughnuts and some juice to "pay back" those that had bought the book new.
First, encourage Bush, and other countries with the ability, to flood the market with oil. In the case of the US, we could release 1/3 of the oil reserves at one time. This would flood the oil commodities market and drop the price of oil. This would cause the people investing in oil commodities (who are driving up the cost) to lose their money. You sir, have no understanding of international economics supply & demand or international finance. In the old world, where the US was the primary driving force of demand for oil, that may have potentially worked. But, we now have China and India in the game with the potential to suck down more oil than we do. Sure speculation raised the price a bit, but the main increases thanks to China and India. As for oil barrel prices, those are set by the cost to produce the most recent barrel of crude, LIFO - Last In First Out Pricing method. Thus, opening the reserves really wouldn't do sh*t other than hurt us in the long run.
Then, Congressional Democrats would allow more drilling in and near the US. China is drilling off the shores of Florida!!! That should be our oil!!! Once again, check how pricing is done;)
The first item is only a short term fix, so thirdly, Congressional Democrats should encourage research and development in to new technologies and energy sources. They should encourage a bang for your buck energy policy. This means encouraging improving the percentage of energy efficiency you achieve in comparison to the lost energy potential! If something else becomes more efficient and product to produce our energy needs we will move to it. Yeah... this has already been done. The gov't has already begun investing more into renewable energy and more companies are looking at sustainable growth and development plans.
Forth, Congressional Democrats should open up trading on the commodities so that all trades are public with all parties known (i.e. the person putting up the money). I can come up with reasons for everyone to have their money in the pot...including Democrats. Most are hedge/mutual funds. This would once again accomplish NOTHING.
Make an effort to learn about how the world works (college business and economic courses might be a good start, but you really should finish your GED first) before you start spewing bullsh*t that'll mislead the uneducated masses.
While your point is valid, there really isn't a feasible alternative. The reason the corporate charter grants the corporation its legal individual 'citizenship' is for a multitude of reasons.
By keeping the corporation separate from the owners (shareholders) this eases tax issues by only having to tax one major group instead of every individual owner. (Think in terms of large corporations like McDonald's whose outstanding shares exceed a billion).
Now look at legal issues. Take the oil companies for example. Let's hypothetically say an oil spill happens off the coast of Alaska again. What would accomplish more? Suing the shareholders who were not involved but merely own the company? The crew of the ship who likely did what they could to prevent the incident much less don't have the funds to cover all the cleanup costs? Or the overall corporate entity which handles the operations and has the funds to cover cleanup costs? Obviously suing the corporate entity would have the greatest effect, and most likely the management would then reprimand the ship's crew as well.
While it is easy to criticize the current system's flaws, there is currently no viable solution at this time.
Another way to view the corporation is like a family. The CEO is like the family's Patriarch or Matriarch with the other officers being older or high-status individuals within the family. Now like the mortgage crisis (which was caused by lower-level employees engaging in ill-advised methods of financing debt), if a younger family member were to commit a crime or be arrested the whole family takes a hit to their credibility. One could argue that it's the own individual's fault, or that other family members didn't raise them properly, but who is really to blame? While the legal system can arrest and prosecute the individual, the family can only disown (think terminate in corporate terminology). But outside of the said individual, who else should be held accountable? Generally it's the head of the family and in business the CEO because they 'allowed' (whether knowingly or not) this behavior to occur.
It's not just x64 Linux that has issues with flash. x64 Windows XP/Vista can't do it either (provided you're using IE x64 or even Firefox--Minefield x64). This is neither Microsoft nor the Linux community's fault, rather that of Adobe for being completely lazy and worthless.
On the contrary, the blind have perfect access to flash pages, provided they are once again designed properly according to w3 standards. Back in high school I took a website design/admin course and we had a flash unit, it's incredibly easy to add an extra property to a flash object (much like the img tag's alt="") that describes the object when moused over. And all that was back with the Macromedia MX '04 suite.
Hiroshima wouldn't see a drop of water. It's relatively shielded by the island Shikoku. Tokyo on the other hand might be saved only if Godzilla intervenes.
I, for one, am shocked and appalled that a monopoly would abuse its position. Shame on you Bell Canada!
I'm sorry, that's a lie. I just can't get too excited about this type of thing. The only users who are really inconvenienced by traffic shaping are the system abusers. All others use a paltry amount of bandwidth which is not throttled.
The tumult over this neutrality business is boring. The only way to solve this is to enact and enforce draconian laws and heavy oversight to make sure that net neutrality is maintained. The cure is more expensive than the disease.
Makes me sleepy... zedzedzed... It's more a matter of principle. If I pay over priced rates for X-Level of service, I expect that said ISP meet their legally bound obligations and provide X-Level of service. e.g. If I'm paying for a 10Mb/1Mb then damn well better have a constant 10Mb/1Mb connection, not a 10Mb/1Mb in off hours and a 5Mb/.5Mb during the prime hours.
To put this is business terms, the Internet has its own Product Life Cycle (PLC) curve. And if the rate of growth is starting to decline, then we're nearing the end of the growth stage and crossing over into the maturity stage.
Sadly, this move to maturity won't affect the 13 y.o.s that constantly plague the online community.

Wouldn't it be easier to just fly "SouthWest"?
Here in the west at least most of the customers actually pay.
Nah, we go to MS Tech Launch events and get Vista for free.
Wait, with the recent market crashes he could be referring to the broke ass Americans.

You Sir apparently do not know the Japanese.
Some P2P company should sue them for defamation.
I vote the Pirate Bay ;)
Bad idea. That would mean they would have to come to the US, and I shudder to think what the MAFIAA would do to them once they're on US soil.
There was never any hope for the sheep to begin with.
Probably more of a planetesimal than a planetoid.

Apparently it will only take $350 million. Whether that's accurate or not is another story. Just what TFA says.
Right... and that $200 Billion we gave the Telecos back in the '90s was supposed to garner us a full fiber network by 2000. Oh.. wait...

Mass =/= Density Density = Masss / Volume 5x Mass =/= 5x Density, unless the planet's volume was equal. Which it probably is not.
