I just glanced at the google terms and conditions and can't for the life of me figure out what makes them obscene. It's a standard T&C, only shorter and clearer than most companies'.
It's a shame especially considering Harlan Ellison wrote a screenplay for it with Asimov's approval and assistance years ago. There seems to be a new printing coming out, for about the same price as a ticket to the movie. Guess which one I'm spending money on.
You know, after all these years you'd think slashdot would have tried to come up with something that wouldn't cripple the web sites they link to, and cost poor unsuspecting people hugely increased bandwidth fees. For a website that always tries to position itself as siding with the independent, pre-commercial spirit of the internet, the Slashdot editors have a really lousy sense of ethics.
I don't understand libertarians. All you guys complain about is how the judicial system interferes with capitalism blah blah blah, and that they should stay out of everything except contract enforcement. Real brings a breach of contract action and you STILL complain! This has nothing to do with the quality of Real's software (yes it sucks, and it always has), it has to do with a CONTRACT.
It's a directive, not a law, which means it mandates generally what the member states must do. The actual individual laws could look quite different, with a lot more safeguards.
The Museum had this exhibit a few years ago. It was kind of cool playing some of the older games, though the selection wasn't huge and some of them were broken. But I'd recommend it anyway, as the rest of the Museum has some really cool interactive exhibits. I'm not even a big fan of movies or TV but I still had a blast.

a) you obviously haven't read the article, and b) why on earth would you recommend CA to anyone? They're a lousy company, always have been--I'd rather deal with MS than CA.
Here's an idea; federalize both professions. Give them a capped government salary (say, 120k in most of the country, adjust depending on the cost of living in certain places), and let them both do their jobs without having to worry about insurance reimbursements or billable hours.
You can sue for malicious prosecution or abuse of process, though that generally has mixed results.
If the lawyer works on contingency, and you win the case, you don't need to do anything to them as they've already been punished by expending a great deal of time and effort and receiving nothing in return.
It's one of the reasons that some in the medical field are pushing for a Medical Court or Medical Approval Board that deems whether a malpractice case can/should be pursued.
Several states already have one. The problem is doctors, like most professions, tend to close ranks, so if the board is staffed with doctors they'll probably be more sympathetic to other doctors than to the plaintiffs.
I can't help but notice that every single person who has posted anything remotely supporting the doc's in this situation has been modded down. Nice, slashholes.
I can't help but notice that you're completely and utterly wrong. A cursory glance shows that people who support the docs on this story are getting modded up.
I'm curious as to why you'd make up a fact like this?
I don't think they'd qualify as pawn brokers. And in general under both Florida common law and statute (Brown v. Ring 450 So.2d 1245 and Florida statute 672.43 if anyone's interested) a thief cannot transfer title to a purchaser.
Or look at cars. Companies don't care much about mileage or emissions on their own, but force them to take it into account and suddenly they come up with a bunch of different ways to improve their cars.

yeah a good question indeed, what will google gain from IPO ? can any body please answer that ?
They'd become richer than god. This is how the VCs, employees, and founders cash out.

Damn, only an 84% on the hard level. I really need to reread the books again.

Most people on slashdot tend to be as far from socialist as you can get. Not me, I'm pretty socialist, but I'm definitely in a minority here.
Because this is slashdot.

He cited them fully. A google search for Harvard Medical Practices Study turns up the report itself and plenty of other information on the first page.
There needs to be some malpractice. The problem is the law doesn't distinguish between this and other more understandable mistakes.
That's just not true. The law definitely distinguishes between simple mistakes and malpractice.

In America, big business always wins in the court.
Huh? Big business is constantly getting smacked down in the court system. Look at the tobacco companies. Look at the auto manufacturers.
