I would posit that the most successful CEO in history was J.D. Rockefeller, of Standard Oil. The company that gave birth to the Seven Sisters after being broken up (BP, Gulf Oil, Standard Oil of California, Chevron, Shell, Esso, Standard Oil of New York). Oh yeah, and SOCal had a very large stake in setting up Saudi Aramco.
He saw the importance of oil and pretty much monopolized it.
As part of the EU, where the largest budget item is farm subsidies Austria is just as bad as anywhere else.
However, I agree that the way farming goes on out here (I'm in NL) is far more responsible that the megacorps in the US despite crazy rules on how bent a cucumber needs to be to end up in the stores
ARGH! If you have to explain a phrase after using it, don't use it! e.g. "California Stop".
its "retarded" (ie, pertaining to an action that is performed by a persone with three standard deviations below the level of common sense or intelligence of the average population)
Agreed. Stop litigating (or at least stop granting such retardedly large compensation claims). This will encourage the businesses to stay in the US, be more innovative, an funnel resources to things like R&D.
Just a layman's idea but, could it be that due to some kind of gravitational interference, light is slowed down just a tad around Earth while some neutrino's are not thus allowing them to be measured as going faster than light?
Its another of their little statistical manipulations. If you live in one of their compounds (like 10,000 people in a compound) each highrise will have one pipe going into it. The gov't reports that as the speed the people have access to. In reality you're getting 15kb down.
I don't know where you base your statistics on, but here in The Netherlands... that's a lie.
A PhD here does not cost 400.000 euros. That's a statistic generated by taking all the costs of the educational institution dedicated to phds and dividing it amongst the students.students. Not really an accurate way to project costs per student.
In reality its only 6,4% of students in this country that are foreign... so that's not really "a lot".
Its retarded remarks liks yours that are causing problems in this country.
I'm really annoyed with articles that sensationalise scientific advancement in developing nations. They're all screaming of the downfall of western science as if its a 0 sum game and they're stealing all our discoveries.
Other countries gaining prominence in scientific fields is only a good thing. It will force the west to cooperate more fully with the rest of the world.
This just in, TSA has received the next model of magic-wand scanner device. Complete with multiple prongs for total coverage this new model will effectively prevent terrorism by submitting all passengers to the US to rape. Experts say that his device, known as the probulator, is the most effective weapon against terrorist because "muslims don't like getting things shoved up their ass". Thank God for our freedoms and liberties as we all walk bow-legged down the concourse to our next flight.
A method by which protection is granted to novel approaches and products allowing an entity to enforce and profit for a given amount of time from the effort put into the approach and/or product and any enduring benefits of said approach or product.
I remember reading a story about face recognition being built into cigarette machines to verify age. The kids just held up magazines with pictures of old people and got their cigs.
Lightroom is the best for this kind of work. you can batch-update their EXIF data (EXIF is the extended file information location for images), and organize it based on files and folders in physical locations on the drive.
Picasa is a good amateur tool but won't let you have the custom control Lightroom gives you.
After that the full video shows a few people fleeing into a nearby building which they declared abandoned, then launch 3 hellfires at it completely demolishing the place. Later it turns out there were two families living in that building - all murdered.

I don't know where you live, but I live in a big city. No garden to be had, nor roof top available to anyone except the penthouse.

For some reason I doubt Boeing would build a super secure phone on a flawed platform. Neither platform is inherently more secure than the other.

A with everything, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Very true. I've already forgotten what you just said.

Since when do we really need TV anymore?

Right and all I need to do to achieve this is is pay 52 cents of every euro I earn to those who aren't working. Sounds completely fair.

Here's an article from Tech Crunch that gives an indication of the profitability of the experiment.
Seems to me that the move was not a questionable success, but an outright success.

Reason has no place in the universe. Douglas Adams proved that.

Then I'll sue the USPTO

100% sure fire way of not getting sued for pirating movies...
move to Canada. Or most European countries. or other places where corporations don't control the government nearly as much.
