The lease (read aid to Boeing) is near death. It is a waste of taxpayer money. Here was the deal. The US goverment leases some 767's for Boeing, pays to convert them to tankers, uses them for 10? years, pays to convert them back to 767's, then gives them back to Boeing. Sounds like a good idea, except for the fact that it cost more then just buying the planes out right.
Yes, you do get more from supporting Red Hat. Red Hat pays quite a few of the kernel devs, they are also mounting a big push to get Linux in large companies.
What else does "I took the initiative in creating the Internet" mean? Please do tell.
"GORE: Well, I will be offering - I'll be offering my vision when my campaign begins. And it will be comprehensive and sweeping. And I hope that it will be compelling enough to draw people toward it. I feel that it will be.
But it will emerge from my dialogue with the American people. I've traveled to every part of this country during the last six years. During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system.

Why is it that stating a FACT can get people so upset? So much for debate, just put them on your foes list so you do not have to be exposed to ideas you do not like.
Mexico did not lose control of Texas to the USA. Mexico lost control of Texas to the future Nation of Texas. Then the Nation of Texas entered into a treaty with the Goverment of the USA.
Mexico lost control of Texas because they lost to an Independence movement.
It sure looks like Intel is going to have a dev center in China. I can not wait till China decides they hate us again and nationalize all the western investments in China. What are we going to do then?
They why does the Mexican goverment provide text books to Mexican that say that Mexico should have the Southern USA as part of Mexico?
"Fox's five-year plan calls for building a larger consular presence in the United States, and this is already in operation. In U.S. areas with large Hispanic (including illegal) populations, the Mexican consul donates to the local public schools the same textbooks that are used in every elementary school in Mexico, grades 1 through 6.
The books, written in Spanish and including all academic subjects, teach that America "stole" the southwest from Mexico and that Mexico is entitled to take it back. The Mexican government considers these textbooks a symbol of Mexican national pride, guarantees a set to every Mexican child, and makes it a crime for anyone to sell them. "
Except for maybe AMD and Apple all the companies you listed are moving as much work as they can in Support/Design/Dev to India/China/Russia because the only have to pay $500 USD per month per worker.
You have no idea what the hell you are talking about.
GW makes about 100,000,000 pounds/year in revenue and less than 10,000,00 pounds/year in profit.

According to the new Games Workshop annual report, covering the fiscal year ending June 2, 2002, the company continues to struggle with its independent retailer business in the Americas, saying of its business in that channel, "...[I]t has been hard work maintaining momentum during the year." This is the continuation of a trend that that was first noted by GW in its mid-year report six months ago, and is a reflection of dissatisfaction with the company felt by many independent retailers (see "Retailers Send Joint Statement to Games Workshop").
In response to this problem, Games Workshop appears to be stressing the opening of new stores (it opened six new stores in the Americas in its past fiscal year, bringing the total to 43) to a greater degree, "...to attract new gamers into the Hobby, and to establish a more appropriate balance between our own stores and independent retailer customer base." A second strategy is continued development of sales teams that work with independent retailers. In the UK, where its own stores account for 69% of sales, GW does "...not expect to grow significantly the number of stores...in the future," which may indicate the target mix of sales through company stores and independent retailers. But worldwide GW sales were up the same rate through independent retailers as through its own stores, indicating that with a growing pie there's enough business for both channels to grow significantly.
One channel that did not grow as quickly was the mail order/Internet sales channel, which grew at a slower 8%. The reason will come as good news to brick and mortar retailers. "The increase in direct sales was slower due in part to a deliberate reassertion of our no-discounting policy to counter some discount creep that had occurred in some territories."
Games Workshop had a great year over-all, with sales up 17% to over 100 million pounds, and after tax net profits up 49% to 8.6 million pounds.

A tax rate of around 30% is a high/heavy tax rate. It is not taxed as much as some countries, but it is still taxed highly.
One can never use the words 'efficient and corruption-free' in the article where the words IMF appear.

It's a public street. If he does not want pictures of his home taken from a public street he should plant a lot of huge shrubs.
But another major question -- the extent to which consumers should be able to record shows for their personal use -- remains unresolved.
Don't forget the DC area also has one of the highest crime rates in the USA.

You are correct. Those with the most power get to make the rules. You may not like it, but that is the way it is.
