And Xerox got quite a bit from Apple for their PARC visit. Options on 100,000 shares at $10 per share. Given the stock splits between then and now (7x, 2x, 2x, and 2x), and today's share price ($170/share) that's $956 million dollars, if they held it until today.
No patent protection in this case. The article says
Mulye also noted that rival pharmaceutical company Casper Pharma raised the price of its brand-name version of nitrofurantoin, called Furadantin. Casper hiked the price by 182 percent over three years—between 2015 and 2018—bringing a bottle’s list price to $2,800.
The company is raising its price of a generic from $474.75 to $2,392. And the FDA told it that it had to alter its production to meet new impurity requirements.
For a solution to the Electoral College issue, check out the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Popular_Vote_Interstate_Compact. It turns out that the constitution leaves allocating electors up to the states. If enough states (representing the majority of the Electoral College votes) decide to all allocate their votes to the national popular vote winner, then that's the way it works.
lol,when has a Republican administration ever been "deficit hawks"? If there's one pattern in politics it's that deficits shrink under the Dems and blow out under the GOP.
Your iPhone 6 is what, coming up on 3 years old? Sounds like you're willing to live with a 4 or 5 year upgrade cycle. Your choice. I'm with you, pretty much.
Spare batteries can be had inexpensively and carried. I have two; they're a pain. But they can provide a charge-up when you need it.
I finally upgraded my iPhone 5 to an iPhone 7. Touch ID, water resistance, the improved camera, and bigger size made the upgrade compelling for me (even though the 5 I traded in was only a year and a half old; my original one got thick, and Apple replaced it free. Out of warranty, no AppleCare, and I walked out with a brand new phone at no cost to me but my time.)
I currently control two iPhones: my personal phone and a work phone. This is my fourth personal iPhone, and my second work phone. Fate of personal phones: iPhone 5 replaced by Apple due to battery expansion iPhone 5 traded in at Apple Store for iPhone 7 iPhone 7 lost while travelling (I was just informed that it has been found by local police; trying to get it back) iPhone 7 currently in use My work phone (iPhone 5S) was replaced once because it was having trouble, and restarting. Two are definitely no longer used, one is probably in use (the 5 that I traded in), and one I hope to use again once I get it back.
The Electoral College is part of the constitution, so cannot be unconstitutional by itself.
The best you could do is argue that the 14th Amendment and the Electoral College are in conflict with each other, and that the 14th Amendment is more important than the Electoral College and therefore must win. Good luck with that.
I actually do have a circa 2001 split keyboard with no brand name on it anywhere and PS2 connectors plugged into a PS2-USB Dongle and then the KVM Switch Port 2 on the KVM is connected to the OWC Thunderbolt 2 dock and a 2013 Macbook Pro.
At launch (in 1983), an Apple//e with 68 Kilobytes of RAM, a single 140 Kilobyte floppy drive, and a monochrome 560x192 monitor was $2,000 (discounted from MSRP of $2,200). That's 4,832.27 in today's dollars.
Roadways are also hugely subsidized. Fuel taxes and tolls only pay about a quarter of the cost of driving. Roads never break even. All of them subsidize their costs with taxes. Many of them even take money from federal and state programs because communities cannot afford to build them without money from the federal and state governments.
Why do you insist that mass transit not be subsidized while roadways are?
The Republicans held the Senate long enough in 2001 (with a 50-50 tie broken by war criminal Dick Cheney) to ram through their tax cuts on simple majority votes. Then Jim Jeffords switched his affiliation from Republican to Independent, and began caucusing with the Democrats.
There may be proportionally more Anti-Vaxers who are liberal than are conservatives. But the anti-vaxers are nearly unrepresented in the ranks of Liberal/Democratic elected leaders. As opposed to the anti-global-warming-ists or anti-evolutionists who are leading the Republican party in the US.
Flu is dangerous. 20 to 40 million deaths in 1918-1919. annual deaths 250,000-500,000, more in pandemic years. US deaths averaged 40,000/year from 1979 to 2001 (by one measure).
It is true that immunity from the flu vaccine is not 100%. But reducing ones chance of contracting the disease after exposure by 2/3rds is worth it. I've gotten a flu shot every year since I last had the flu (1994).
I own a mac, and have three obsolete macs in my "museum". I own a Pentium IV computer, but it runs Linux. Work provides me with a PC. But that's only for work.
Microsoft is a corporation that knew exactly how far across the legal line it could go before it would be punished. How many times were investigations into its business practices settled with "we promise we won't do it again", which they then did?
I was in High School when Star Wars came out. The first one, before it got retitled "A New Hope" and "Episode 4".
Joseph Campbell's _The_Hero_With_a_Thousand_Faces_ or the PBS Series (with its accompanying book) The Power of Myth both talk about the archtype Epic. Read wikipedia for more.
I saw the Dune movie before I read the book. It worked for me.
I am quite fond of Roger Zelazny's short story "The Game of Blood and Dust". It didn't resonate at all with my daughter, who never really lived under the threat of nuclear annihilation. It's included in _The_Last_Defender_of_Camelot_, and only 5 pages long.
I don't believe you can run an.exe file on Linux or MacOSX. You can only do that in Windows.
MacOSX tells me whenever I ask it to run a file downloaded from the net for the first time. The OS needs to get in the user's face a little, because downloaded executables carry risks that executables installed from local media do not.

Eisenhower.
That would get in the way of the very important tax cuts.

The standard is 1.5 x 3.5. Home Depot and Menards are selling 1.437 x 3.437 and calling that standard when it's not. That's what the suit is about.
5 courses/term * 2 terms/year * 1 book / course * $100/book = $1000/year. Simple Stoichiometry.

iPod was a FireWire device, back when PC's used PS/2, serial, and parallel ports.

The problem is the bankers already received their golden payouts. It's a big "Oh, well! Better luck next time" to them.
Trickle Down/Supply Side as a 20th and 21st century record of failure. Keynesian Economics, not so much.
