The only good Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were the original B&W comics.
Unfortunately I am old enough to have read them when they first appeared, but they were good.
There is no difference in this regard between big business and small business. If you are the sole owner of a small business, then every year you have a choice of whether to reinvest all of your profits in the business or take some out for your personal use. Either can be a valid choice depending on the circumstances.
It looks like this will cost Apple about $10 Billion a year, but their cash position has been growing faster than that recently. So, I'm guessing all it will do is slow down the rate of growth of their cash.
I might have increased my carbon footprint a little bit by doing that, but I offset it by using a gas grill instead of charcoal, so i'm carbon neutral.
That's what I thought too, but when I asked the plumber to install two separate wastewater systems in my house he looked at me funny and insisted that they would both end up in the same sanitary sewer as he wasn't allowed to connect either to the storm sewer.
I told him I didn't care, and I don't mind spending the extra money, so now my shower water is separate from my toilet water all the way up until they exit my house.
We are going to experience, I think, one of the greatest surges of artistic intent in human history, and I believe that the majority of it will come through video games,'
It's true. Duke Nukem is so... so... beautiful! *snif*
Van Rossum: Python Not Much Worse Than Ruby
"Python creator Guido van Rossum discusses the prospects and criticisms of Python, noting that critics of Python should supplement with Ruby rather than re-engineering Python apps into a better language."
Perhaps this comment will be lost and unread, and I'm too lazy to go find the video now,
but there is an interview with Steve Jobs from the early 90s in which he says (paraphrased): "I can save Apple. I know what to do. I wouldn't mind helping them, but they're not interested in what I have to say." and then when asked what he would do hey says: "Milk the Macintosh for all its worth to keep going while you're working on the products of the future."
And then consider the statement Jobs made when the announcement of Microsoft's investment in Apple was made: "We have to get past the idea that for Apple to win, Microsoft has to lose."
I think it's pretty clear from interviews and statements by Jobs both before he returned to Apple and immediately after he returned, that he was focused on the post-PC world right from the start. He recognized that he could never break the market power of the Windows PC, but he saw that improvements in technology would ultimately obsolete the PC as a central, all-encompassing computing platform for most people, and so when he returned, he spent a few years getting the Mac in shape so the company didn't die, and then moved on to the post-PC strategy.

It seems like you think Apple has zero value apart from it's cash.
I think you're wrong.

It comes with the territory.
Man, it's like shooting fish in a barrel today.

I feel sad when I am forced to point out to others that my feelings are more important than reality.
Well I couldn't afford to install separate systems for everyone in my neighborhood, so I just did what I could.
Everyone's got to do their own part.
Apparently you're not into environmentally friendly lifestyles.
I consider that a character flaw.
Facts don't matter. It's the feeling that matters.
Other articles have reported that Google built a primary treatment plant to supply the data center as well. For example: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2012/03/google-flushes-heat-from-data-center-with-toilet-water.ars
It makes me feel like I've done something for the environment.
Correct, but the somewhat interesting part is that Google built their own wastewater treatment plant to supply the data center with coolant.
That's what I thought too, but when I asked the plumber to install two separate wastewater systems in my house he looked at me funny and insisted that they would both end up in the same sanitary sewer as he wasn't allowed to connect either to the storm sewer.

Obviously it doesn't change. That's why it's called Planck's Constant!

Yes. The magnets hold it up.
Yeah we'll see about that.
Let's hope that when Israel attacks Iran, the U.S. just stands back and lets them work things out.
but I'm not that optimistic.
They don't speak arabic in Iran.
