Van Halen used to have a clause in their performance contracts that they must be provided with a bowl of MM's with the brown ones picked out. What does 'fairness' have to do with a legal civil contract?
Why should a gun manufacturers profit imperative be different than any other company? Can you name a single company that doesn't try to maintain a public image (public relations).
I think this is totally wrong... you have to think like a manager or executive to understand their market. Until laptops were commiditized (sp) the Thinkpad had a certain caché that said "I am busy and important, don't f with me". Now that technical focus is on phones an executive has few options. Iphones are nice but the guy serving him latte with an earring in his nose has one, + the Apple tie ins and consumerism make the phone feel like a toy. The Samsung is nice, but his gamer nephew and the smelly guys down in IT have them.
Which leaves us with the Blackberry, but with it's tiny screen and dated interface it looks like a fancy pager. The new BB addresses that.
You can compare specs all you want but specs aren't the reason someone picks a BMW over a mustang.
Hardly a woosh- the intent of the OP was to convert Euro directly into USD, not to speculate on what the cost would actually be. I thought the following poster's comment was useless with out an explanation of why he thought the costs were higher.... so woosh on your woosh!
Do you even know what roundup is? It is a Glycophosphate, a family of compounds with well established half lives. Once corn is a few feet tall it blots everything else out and they stop using it. Many months later when the corn is harvested it is chemically impossible for the corn to be contaminated with residue.
I guess you have drank the coolaid too? There wasn't any group work when I was growing up and more physical activities. Back then boys did quite a bit better.
Last year my son (diagnosed with mild autism) was required to spend 1/3 of his time doing group work in math class and consistently was graded poorly for these activities. In my mind doing group work in pre-algebra is of questionable value and useless for boys.

Things are a lot weirder if you try to explain the universe in terms of classical physics.
Making missiles en-mass that can go half way around the world isn't cheap.
I like the 'garden' analogy used in "The Pragmatic Programmer"

Why is this shady? If McDonalds allowed the use of their franchise in GTA, wouldn't they want a say in how it is used?
I don't understand what is shady about licensing product names, or why someone playing a FPS would care.
Thank goodness it is not a 'Library of Congress' long....

'Thinking different' helps make this make sense.
Mines that would 'expire' so they will not fire after a set time would be a step forward (pun intended).
A large panel to replace sheet music would sell pretty well.
Press and bluster aside, the two countries do quite a bit of trade. There is a lot of money at stake.

SSD for booting and apps and mechanical drive for media is the way to go
Euro is worth more than the dollar, something around 1.3
Here is one study claiming that this is false based on bone samples.... http://www.poweredbyosteons.org/2012/01/lead-poisoning-in-rome-skeletal.html

I know this was meant to be humorous but this state is a lot less litigious than most.
Mathematics major is pretty useless- applied mathematicians are called physicists.

A pretty good article on the subject... http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2006/01/29/the-trouble-with-boys.html

The number one things that helped me improve was hating the way I did things with an equal measure of laziness.
