Maybe they should get jobs making light-bulbs at companies that make efficient bulbs?
No thanks; I lived in China for a couple of years on an extended business assignment but I wouldn't want to live there permanently and especially not to work in one of their factories.
The power to regulate interstate commerce. You can manufacture and sell any bulb you like if it doesn't cross state or international lines
Sorry, that defense has been tried and defeated. By buying something made in-state, you affect interstate commerce by not importing. therefore the feds can tell you what to do anyway: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wickard_v._Filburn
Thus, planning is limited to FOUR YEARS. How can one run the last remaining superpower on a four year shedule?
The Chinese are rapidly overtaking with their five year plans. I therefore recommend that the main US election cycle become every 6 years with legislative elections every 3.
Except that it was his FATHER who was the curator for the musuem. If I place something belonging to my employer in the trash and my son takes it out that is THEFT.
Sorry, RTFA: the curator was "like a father to him", not "his father". If some teenage misfit hangs out with you and takes something from the trash of your employer, is it theft? Besides, this all happened in the early 70's. Everyone then thought trips to the moon colony in atomic powered rockets was going to be a typical family vacation by 2000 so what value is a moon rock except for sentiment over those old Apollo missions that started it all?
Gee, I wonder if the TSA will still claim, "our boys followed procedure, we stand behind them."
Too bad for him he was caught before they've finished unionizing. If he got away with it a little longer he would just sit in the TSA equivalent to a "rubber room".
Wallets aren't only used to carry money or credit cards.
Thanks for the important insight. Next time there's an article on an automotive topic like fuel efficiency, be sure to point out owning car != wanting to go somewhere. Not all cars are used for transportation.
marriage is a union of two people that legally binds them as one person
Well, it binds them as a legal entity and the level of binding can vary widely from state to state. Just look at a credit card application - it will say things about residents states X-Z need to include information about spouses while other states do not. In some states you can enter into lots of business/credit arrangements without a spouse even needing to know about it and other states require the spouse's signature, never mind just notification.
I've had combo analog/digital watches almost continuously since I was about 10. I source them from exotic boutiques like K-Mart where they sell obscure brands like Timex
Sorry, your 'analog' Timex is electronic. The article is about mechanical watches. The kind that need a spring to be wound up in order to run.
This is just a free market troll. Competitive mechanisms favor the group that cuts costs, reduces quality and undercuts the higher quality competitors. The end result is the dodgy group raising prices sky high once a monopoly has been achieved.
Yeah, that's why Skybus is the only airline left in business. Competition does result in reduced costs but quality can only be reduced to what the majority of customers are willing to accept.
I disagree with that, they got lucky that they weren't harmed by it. They were still defrauded, assuming that LegalZoom did as alleged.
Look, the only people being harmed in Missouri by Legalzoom are the lawyers who can't charge $200/hr (or whatever the rate is) to make a basic will or incorporation filing. I wouldn't be surprised if these defendants who weren't harmed are either lawyers themselves who want LZ to not to business in the state or they're stooges for said lawyers.
No kidding - the twits filing the suit admits they weren't harmed by the service and just wants to reclaim their fees x3. This definitely qualifies as a top ten all time frivolous class action suit.
I cut way back on Google usage a few months ago when they took over the arrow keys' normal smooth window scrolling and made it jump from one search result to another. That just makes it hard to read and track which entry is next when it jumps like that.
you do realize the US is dependent upon illegal immigration to fill low paying jobs like picking fruit, landscaping, and general cheap day labour?
Not dependent upon it, trapped by it. This is a problem in game theory. If employer A is able to undercut the price to market for a good or service by hiring under the table then employer B who hires aboveboard will go out of business. Even if employer A is caught, the fines are insignificant compared to the problems caused to competitors using legitimate labor. Thus, employer B is forced to do the same. This is a properly functioning market process because the source of the problem is political. If legal workers were not bound by a variety of political requirements (minimum wage, payroll taxes, etc) then the illegal workers would not be hired.
Closing? And here they just opened a showroom with two cars in it in my local mall. Maybe less high rent showrooms would have helped. I wonder how fancy their corporate HQ offices are.
If septuagenarian "Elizabeth Johnson" misses her flight, they wont pull her bags. But if 32yr old "Ahmet Imadinerjacket" misses his flight, the bomb squad is called and his bags are imploded.
You've got it completely backwards - TSA is scared of the ACLU screaming racism at them that they'd much rather hassle old white and black people than anyone who looks remotely mid-eastern.

This reminds me of a colleague of mine that worked at a phone company, woman called in
What are the spousal privacy laws like there in India? :/
Do they have a lot of problems with tsunamis in Germany?

The 2s and 3s must also be filtered out to have a pure digital signal.
Then how can I watch video on my qubit computer?
I thought all Apple apps "just worked" shouldn't the updated have been vetted by Apple first
Sure it did; there wasn't any problems caused to the phone or other apps. Oh, functionality within the one app? Is that Apple's care?
Did you miss that first sentence of the summary where it clearly said " private and commercial"?
I didn't miss it but apparently you missed the part about 'over the poles'. And they didn't mean poles as in Polish people.
The only prop aircraft over the poles is the (very) occasional TU95 Bear bomber.
Now now, it's not nice to call MythBuster Adam Savage a "razor-wielding crazy man."
He is every time he shaves, isn't he?

The fact that people need software to tell them this would save money is sad indeed.
Not just software but on top of +36K/yr tuition they needed additional grant money to figure it out.

Right, because all illegal immigrants commit crimes.
By definition. Which part of "illegal" != "commit crime" ?

Isn't that what we're all doing by posting to /. from work?
Totally different - the article is about the hostage *taker* doing the posting.

Must've really pissed them off when the term PC got stolen from them
For a long time all the other brands couldn't call their machines a 'PC' - they had to do it all the way out: 'IBM Compatible PC'.
