Traditional insurance assumes a payout of around 1% of people filing claims per year. The idea is you pay for decades and file one huge claim in that time that would bankrupt you otherwise
Only health insurance is structured for you to use as much or more of what you pay in premiums
lucy koh didn't award a cent. in fact she reduced an award that a jury of 12 people awarded apple
if you're a corporate lawyer or judge presiding over corporate law lawsuits then you deal with so many companies that it would be impossible for you to get a job in your area if you had rules like this
looks bad but in reality a judge like this will probably preside over cases with most companies in a given countries and lots of other large organizations. even if you institute a 2-3 year rule of not taking a job with a party to a lawsuit you preside over that is a lot of potential work and probably infringes on non-compete laws
Not a scam, just a crappy business model Most group one I see are over priced and from places I would never give my business to. The good deals are long gone because any good business will have repeat customers
this is war. when you capture the other side's soldiers you try to find out what they know. if they don't talk, you're supposed to try to make them talk.
at some point the older aircraft become too expensive to maintain, rebuild, retrofit, etc. and airframe and everything else wears out. electronics die. less parts means it costs more per part.
i don't see google committing the $100 or $140 BILLION its estimated to cost to roll out fiber nationwide
when google announces a plan to sell bonds at 7% or whatever the prevailing rate is to build out a nationwide gigabit or higher to the home network call me
because TWC is right. most people don't care to pay more $$$ for the higher speeds. i have time warner 20/1 service for $50 a month. i would like a faster upload but don't want to pay for it. FIOS is coming in a few months to where i like for $70 for 15/5 and i don't plan on switching
in the USA all the tiny hick towns make the carriers build them yarn museums and other crap in town as a sign of gratitude of being allowed to sell their services in the town
MS Office is too featured and too expensive for most users. Most home and small business users will be just fine with quickoffice or one of the free ones.
MS screwed up by not having a cheap version. they used to have Works but never pushed it to the point of people knowing about it. only idiots spent $200 for MS Office at home
and a cooler climate means colder winters and more oil is burned to keep warm. and in NYC there are lots of decades old boilers that spew toxic fumes into the air after burning the oil. no one wants to replace them until they break due to cost i'll take AC's and slightly warmer outside air any day over toxic smoke
then when the east river in NYC freezes during winter and the temps are so bitter cold that the hipster idiots will go crazy and blame it on global warming
and then the intelligent people can point out that this is completely normal. it used to happen in the 1800's all the time before global warming screwed things up with a warmer winter
last decade when active X came out and the promise of applications in IE, i thought it was cool. for years nothing happened except for flash
i'm perfectly happy with chrome now and web apps like feedly, evernote and others. IE is still in the stone age of the internet where you have to visit a web site to read the content

i'm sure a 3 person start up is going to pay $200,000 to a retired federal judge to run their legal team

the graphics are a lot better
imagine the reaction if sony showed a PS4 game with awesome gameplay but crappy graphics
all the dev money today is going into art and pretty pictures

go get a girlfriend. WTF is the point of sitting around messing with all this stuff?
maybe 50 years ago, but tech is going so fast that most new investments are in the consumer field now

to something not in the dictionary?
after that i would just ignore the failed attempts. after a while the perp will stop and move on to easier prey
that's hot fixes and patches, just like MS
who is writing new software for 10 year old Linux kernels or distros?
