The general idea in the United States is that you can appeal the judges decision on the law and procedure but not the facts. For the majority of criminal cases, it's irrelevant - the law is straightforward and the judge applies it in standard ways. Where you get appeals is when new laws need to be interpreted. For example, in the last few days the California Court of Appeals has ruled on several cases involving interpretation of the "three strikes rule" (basically, additional punishment for repeat offenders, but the law's a complete mess as to when it should be applied), a case where the judge asked the prosecution questions about what evidence was linked with which charges, and then clarified what happened with the jury, and a case about a change in wording on the "lying in wait" clause of the Penal Code.
Also, most people think that it's common for the defense to appeal and win. It's not - in California, at least, it's a percent or two of cases at most.
CodeTEST had a trace capability that was pretty nice (disclaimer - I worked on that project), and I believe the price point was more like $20k rather than 80. Applied Microsytems went under late last year, but it looks like Metrowerks picked up the CodeTEST product line.
I don't know what the pricing was on the software version of CodeTEST, but it could do trace as well.
You're about as likely to get a share of the gross as my kid sister was likely to get a pony for Christmas.
People negotiating these deals know what they're getting into. If you're not Tom Cruise, you're not getting a piece of the pie before "expenses" are deducted.
Unfortunately, Thor is in no way unbreakable. On the contrary, Thor comes complete with built-in scheduled obsolescence, as Thor along with the rest of his buddies in Asgard is destined to go down fighting at Ragnarok (aka the end of the world as we know it).
What this ignores, though, is that the majority of fiml projection equipment (and the film itself) is cared for, tuned and maintained by barely trained and mostly apathetic staff and ends up looking lousy. When's the last time you saw a perfectly projected film without scraches? I'm perfectly willing to believe that the quality of analog equipment can beat digital, but in the real world it doesn't matter very much.
Yes, happens constantly at just about every company in the US (and France, in my brief experience). Normally you do things like charge travel expenses on a personal (or "company" card, but usually company cards are really personal cards) credit card and then submit an expense report for reimbursement. If the company goes under, you may not get your money back and there's not much you can do about it. Essentially you're one of the company's creditors during bankruptcy proceedings, and if you're talking about a software company there probably are no significant assets to distribute to the creditors.
It's Vivendi Universal these days.
According to Fortune,
Vivendi Universal is #91 with $38,628.3 million in annual revenue. Royal Philips Electronics is #107 with $34,990.8 million.
When you want water in North America (at least the bits I've lived in), you go through years and years of vicious political and legal battles (and in the not-to-distant past, you used live ammunition) to get that water. Maybe there are parts of the world where that's not true, but I've never lived in a place where water rights and use weren't some of the absolute hottest, most contentious issues around. And you certainly can't transfer meaningful quantities of the stuff without even more battles, since different users are charged different rates and have different access rights. Just because something is a commodity doesn't mean it's conflict-free.
Every public company I've ever worked for forbids their employees from trading options in the company stock. No puts, no calls, no nothing. It's part of the insider trading policies.
It does make a lot of sense under some circumstances. If a system is just ticking along not doing much, it doesn't really matter how well it performs (assuming some reasonable level of average performance). Think of a low-end Toyota and the best BMW available. Both of them perform superbly at 50kph. There's virutally no difference between the two systems. You buy the BMW because it's peak performance is superior, even though you only use that peak performance occasionally. In the server world, if you're only asking for a few X per second, performance is frequently meaningless - buy whatever is cheapest, taking into account things like maintenence. It's only when you're looking at high load that performance matters.
And note that for the purposes of obtaining Irish citizenship grandparents from Northern Ireland count. Or at least they did until the recent election to drop the territorial claims to NI passed as part of the peace process in the North. Anyone know for sure?
The exchange rate between currencies isn't all that interesting. What you care about is the number of currency bits that you'll be receiving. Would you rather have $1,000,000 NZ dollars or $100,000 US dollars?

It's only easy to replicate your MP3 collection if it's very small. Ripping hundreds of CDs is a very time-consuming process.
"Story arc" isn't a phrase that was invented for B5. It's a common term used in storytelling of all sorts - television, theater, movies, whatever.
The inexpensive version isn't the wireless model. It's just a router/firewall. Useful, but probably not what you want.
Find a new accountant and have them refile your return. Taxes aren't set in stone after you file. Your new return should show the loss on the short.
