Being a "closely held" corporation has nothing to do with the actual number of shareholders. A "closely held" corporation is a corporation in which the majority ie. > 50% of the value of the outstanding shares is owned by five or fewer individuals. In other words, as long as the majority of the shares is held by five or fewer people, there can be many other shareholders and the corporation would still be regarded as being "closely held".
There is one real reason why these alternatives will never be considered an option by the US military (and therefore by a couple of other NATO countries). All these planes lack the capability to deliver a US designed nuclear warhead, and the US industrial/military complex is not likely to give away their USP in selling overpriced jets by licencing the technology to non-US manufacturers.
But Twitter most definitely does have business interests in England and Wales!! They have a business-model in which they make money of their subscribers and they have subscribers from England and Wales using their services.
But it's not. Even making a business of modding consoles so that people can import games or use homebrew, I think, would be tolerated. But advertising that you make a business of modding consoles to play pirated games, I understand that won't be tolerated.
As far as I understand the DMCA it is not. Converting a console is considered circumventing a protection system and is as such illegal. That's one reason why the DMCA is such a crap piece of law.
I second that! The worst part is they no longer define science as the search for for natural explanations of phenomena.
Personaly I think the Evolution Theory offers a very nice explanation for the origins and development of life on earth. Then again, it is only a theory! Theories can chance after scientific evaluation of new data. But when you start tinkering with the definition of science, you will never ever be able reach a conclusion and formulate an acceptable theoretic explanation.
The virus is dangerous to humans! It is the same H5N1 string of flu virus that has infected humans in South East Asia, claiming 60 lives. For now the virus can not spread from human to human. It could pose a serious threat if this virus infects someone who is also infected with a 'normal' flu virus. Exchange of genetic material between the human flu virus and the bird flu virus could form a new pathogenic flu virus and cause a pandemic.

Making all the ingredients in your food traceble is a good idea, because sometimes things go wrong. Contaminated ingredients do enter the food chain. Or somewhere in the process of assembling your food, just somewhere in the whole supply chain, a manufacturer finds out the products he supplied were not up to par. Being able to trace where the ingredients come from or where your products have gone to means less chance of bad food products being sold and consumed. Now, the funny thing is that you do not need RFID's for this. Just a solid system to administer which ingredients go into which batch of the product you make, where you get the ingredients from and where you ship your product to.
That's an old discussion. In AD&D 1st ed. there were a large number of devils, demons, daemons and other nasty creatures from the lower planes. When TSR released 2nd ed. AD&D they removed all these 'non-christian' creatures from the game.
Why? Because of all the Flak they were getting over these ungodly concepts. The focus from the game shifted from 'role-play whatever you like' to 'good vs. evil' with the players being the good guys. And the monsters... Well all lower plane denizens had to go to make the game 'sociably acceptable'.
I must say that I'm flabbergasted. A graffiti artist who defiles NY metro cars for the sake of what? Making a name for himself? Wanting to be noticed? And when he succeeds, and people copy his work, he sues them! He should be happy he is finaly being credited for all the hard work he has done in making the city a less pleasurable place to live in. Fair is fair. If it is his work they are using, they should have asked him beforehand. And they have to compensate him in some way.
Making "plans" for using nuclear weapons has been an everyday part of having nuclear weapons for every country since the 40's. Making plans to do something is a long way away from actually doing it. But having the weapon and the ability to use it is what has kept this planet safe and stable for 50 years.
No there is a huge difference this time. For the first time, the US goverment is drafting plans to deploy nuclear weapons against countries without any nuclear capability of their own. That is a long way from the madness of nuclear detterence during the cold war era.

Dollar comes from the Dutch "daalder", an old coin with the value of one and a half guilder (thats EUR 0.68).
Some posters dismiss this story as right-wing propagandism. They might be right. And next thing we know, these so called 'compasionate conservatives' blame the 'lefty liberal OpenSource advocates' for giving Saddam Hussain the means to threaten western civilisation once again.
I can think of at least one corporation who would not mind these points of view....

Nope. The 'Firefox button' is available on XP as well.

Yeah, great idea. And where do you think mininova gets the majority of its torrents from? Right, the piratebay!
