Unfortunately, you have to sue a business in their home location. (unless they have an office where you live as well) This would make your plan a lot more time consuming and expensive.
I've been dying to select exactly the cable channels I want for years. It seems vastly preferable - to me, anyways - to pay $40/month for 8-12 channels that I actually like, through and through. Of course the media giants are all-too aware of this; after all, they watch TV too. You can't shovel your pap in with the good stuff if people have the power to only receive the good stuff, and filter out the pap.
Actually, in the USA, you have the right to order exactly the channels you want. However, the cable companies are not required to tell you about this right.
Every commercial jet built within the past 40 years has been fly by wire.
Incorrect. The first fly-by-wire commerical jet was the Airbus A320 in 1988. I believe the first Boeing to feature fly-by-wire was the 777, introduced in 1994.
Re:Brake by wire? Sounds horrid.

10 Techno-Cool Cars

· Score: 4, Informative
Did you read the entire article? There is a manual backup braking system on this car.
If you do decide to do this though, please don't be lame like other radio stations and between every song say your station call sign letters and FM frequency. Like we didn't hear yout he first million times you said it, ok?
Um... you are actually required to do a station identification at least once an hour. also, i seriouslly doubt any radio station has 50k-100k/hour electrical bills. I work for a 26k watt volunteer station, and our total budget is under 10k a YEAR. we broadcast almost 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Actually, an expired passport is a totally VALID government ID. Those security people were morons. It actually says this inside the passport, or on the passport renewal form. That's why when you send your old passport in to get a new renewal, they mail you back the old passport as well.
Well, the point of the article was to answer why japan has the "cool stuff"... It didn't even get into the fact that their landline telephone system is an expensive monopoly. Which actually ended up driving cell phone development forward. Many people I know in Japan don't even have landline phones.
Very true. actually, I did see some cool stuff in the back alleys. vintage stuff too.. one guy was selling off a bunch of old macintosh Plus computers!
I've been to Akihabara several times. I think many geeks in the USA overhype this place. As far as computers go, there really isn't much you can get there that's not available in the USA. And the prices aren't that great either. For example, looking for MP3 players, I saw the same old 32mb, 64mb or 128mb models you can buy here... none of the small spiffy hard-drive based ones. And the prices were more or less the same. You might be able to buy a Sony Vaio laptop model 6 months before its American counterpart is released. If that's worth dealing with customs and japanese warrenty support, go for it.
The problem is most of the japanese innovation is in their cellphones these days. Now the cell phones are cool, but useless in the USA.:-(
People selling their stock would have NO effect on the $40 billion Microsoft has in the bank. Do you think that when someone sells their stock the company buys it from them? Nope, its either another stockholder or the Wall Street marketmaker. (it is true sometimes a company will buy back shares to try to change the price, but that is another matter all together)
Actually, if anything, the military is becoming less and less part of American popular culture. A smaller percentage of 'middle America' serves these days.. and we haven't exactly had a draft in quite a while.
Actually if you READ the article, some neighbouring countries in Africa have already used this technique to eliminate the fly. The fly hasn't even been around in great numbers since the 1970s. These countries haven't had the doomsday you are predicting.
Tax law doesn't work this way. Microsoft doesn't get anywhere near a $500,000 writeoff. Think about it, if they simply could write off the retail cost of any software they give away, they could give some school enough copies of whatever to reduce their taxes to zero. I don't see any company doing this with giveaways.
Boeing can retrofit the already sold planes with this new tech.. It's not limited to only new planes. This gives them work to do when the airlines stop ordering new planes.

I thought it was almost funny how the writer decided to slam a completely unreleated tax-cut in a story about telecom. SFGate.. no wonder.
In fact, ADCOs would provide a much more effective economic stimulus, particularly in Silicon Valley, than anything else now being considered, including the incredibly misguided huge corporate tax rebates recently approved by the GOP-controlled House of Representatives.
Unlike corporate tax rebates, which merely reward companies for being big, fixing the last-mile glitch would actually do something real to restore economic growth in the tech sector, especially at firms working to develop new broadband-related products, which include hardware, software and services.

And according to my economics textbook, in perfect competition, no company ever makes a profit
Profit, in the economic sense, includes opportunity costs. It's possibile for perfect competition to have the accounting type 'profits'.
