Then care to explain why NYC was hit by regular cat 3 hurricanes all the way through the little ice age? Since the killer 1938 hurricane we haven't had a single strong storm
Sandy was barely a cat 1 storm. It hit at high tide And with the full moon which is what caused the flooding.
Here in NYC the flooding didn't start until it made landfall and the wind died down
not collusion but more like why spend all this money to rebuild a factory or bring a flooded factory to 100% of pre-flood capacity if the prices will only drop?
they rebuilt enough capacity to just meet demand and that's it
These are scumbags going to Home Depot buying up all the generators and reselling them to people too busy cleaning out the ruins of their homes or trying to feed their kids
Legit businesses will try to increase their supply with msrp prices at the most in times like this
did that ever happen? will it every happen? most likely not
people in every state have different beliefs on different issues which is the point behind the electoral college. Its supposed to make it hard to win an election by pandering and populism
we're a block from the hudson river and i don't think we have ever had 5 foot deep water in the streets. most of this was laid out almost 10 years ago and it's luck. i can see predicting a foot or two of flooding, but 5 feet in NYC is insane. i checked out the history of past hurricanes and didn't read anything about this kind of flooding here
if you look at the history of NYC area hurricanes Sandy was pretty weak. Category 1 with only 15mph forward velocity. we have had a lot of more powerful hurricanes hit NYC in the past. the 1938 storm was Cat 3 when it struck NYC and had a 70mph forward speed.
what happened was the it made landfall in southern NJ at high tide and a full moon and the winds pushed the water into NYC and land in general. This is what caused all the flooding. on the west side we had 5 foot deep flooding. on the east side there was white foam waves. it was almost like a mini-tsunami hit NYC
our data center was lucky because someone put the fuel pumps higher than the tanks in the basement and the flood waters didn't reach them. lots of other people had their DR plans flooded out.
and didn't your parents pay any attention to you. all the kids these days seem to be attention whores posting look what i did crap on the internet for their friends to comment on and to show the world how important they are
seriously, i learned about this in social studies. up to the early 1900's before the secret ballot everyone sold their vote. Boss Tweed and Tammany Hall were big in NYC.
for all you dumb kids who think movies are like real life go check out an oldie called Gangs of New York. the main character votes 5 or 6 times.
i'll get modded down but the way FRAND works is the rates are usually a few cents per device and you cross license any FRAND patents that you have as well. you don't have to license non-FRAND patents.
apple doesn't have much FRAND patents but they have a lot of non-FRAND patents that others want. everyone else has lots of FRAND but not much non-FRAND that is wanted now. so its a game that lasts years
in the end apple will write a huge check for back royalties and come to some kind of agreement on everything else
since you have a lot more money in your pocket with a slightly lower salary but with the ability to telecommute or flexible schedule if you have small kids. and lower salary = less taxes and more deductions
my mom spent the hurricane and flood in an ocean facing condo with a dumb phone. she's now going to get an iphone or Galaxy S3
the voice service was crap but the texting and data mostly stayed up even in the worst hit areas. texting i'm OK is good enough and there are lots of other features she will get
and payphones would have been useless as well since the water was high enough to destroy them
Union jobs are set in contract you sign a contract to work for X number of days per year, you have to work that number of days. in the office. you sign a contract to arrive at a specific time? you arrive.
if your kids get sick a lot during the year? too bad, hire a baby sitter or take vacation day. no working from home. contract says in the office. hurricane hit NYC? too bad, get in the office. kids' school schedule changes? too bad, hire a sitter.
the union negotiated a low copay health plan but the doctors suck or no one takes it? too bad. most people only care what they see in front of them so no good doctor for you. people don't like paying copays
i much prefer a lower pay job with the luxury of telecommuting if my kids get sick or when i have to pick them up at 3PM from school. and i like my kids doctor who just happens to be chief of pediatrics at the local hospital and calls in to the ER to hurry the process up

Coke makes you a fat and disgusting lardass and will destroy your teeth
And we still have patent pools for almost everything that is made today
In most cases a patent pool is created before the product

Buying up stuff at retail after a disaster and reselling it at huge markups is not free enterprise
did that ever happen?
will it every happen? most likely not

i understand you live in flyover country, but there is a reason cows, chickens and corn can't vote
Baseball Prospectus had the Yankees and Nationals as PECOTA favorites to win almost every game they lost. even after the Yankees lost Jeter.
Giants vs Tigers you didn't need PECOTA to predict that SF would crush the kitties
i was actually expecting Romney to win
