The US government has no claim over this money unless the companies bring it in (repatriation). Won't other nations take offence at the idea of the US government taking billions out of their banks?
And since the massive tax hit is the reason why they are keeping those funds overseas, what's to stop them from moving their corporate headquarters overseas to continue avoiding it?
Shouldn't the driver be responsible for making sure that "slower" data ends up in that half gig? Something besides the frame buffer or textures. I bet that better memory management could completely hide the problem.
I think you found the nail, but nothing actually needs to be bought or sold. You find a politician who is already ideologically predisposed to support your position, and you just go to them to shore up that support. That may mean campaign help, or simply being friendly.
Bribes can be expensive, but they are always risky. Finding someone who already agrees with you is safe, easy and cheap. The GOP is traditionally pro-business, so send them all a form letter to pass on to the FCC and say it's to fight burdensome regulations. Just like when any PAC provides a form letter with a good argument for its position for citizens to then sign and send in to their representatives.
When I see cops along the interstate, they're pulling over people traveling in dangerous excess of the speed limit. Which usually means 15+ mph over the limit.
I know there's a thin line between traffic control and BS speed traps for corrupt municipalities, but without the threat of getting caught, speed limits are pointless.
Are you sure? Because it sounds like they're trying to move forward, while you are demanding they go back to where they started.
Don't get me wrong, I'm neither happy nor entirely comfortable with what they did to the timelines, but you can't go back and move forward at the same time.
Legislators are elected for their position on issues by voters who share them (in theory), and want those positions reflected in Congress. The job of a Judge is to be unbiased, whereas Legislators are expected to be.
First off, how did you get a hold of confidential studio communications?
Secondly, it wasn't going to be a chihuahua it was going to be a red shirt's cat until Pegg came on board and pointed out that it had already been done.
that they won't disclose to us? I don't know if any of you have ever tried to get this info from Apple, but they really don't make it easy. Or possible.
I don't think we are all that far apart on this. I too am distressed by how the commerce clause has been used and abused to regulate virtually anything a congressperson with a bug up their but may desire. I'm with Justice Thomas on the matter - in California's first medical marijuana case, he was the lone dissenter who pointed out that if the commerce clause was being applied to commerce entirely within one State, it could be used to give the Federal government the power to regulate anything.
I do want to make a slightly pedantic point and say that it wasn't intended to make interstate commerce open and unrestricted, rather to ensure only one body could regulate such trade. Including the creation of restrictions.
However, a State saying who can or cannot form an ISP sounds to me like an attempt to regulate interstate commerce. Still, it's a very complex issue when a municipality does it, as you could argue that creating an ISP is akin to a municipality creating it's own post office. I'd have to leave it to the Court to figure it all out.
Wow! Which state is it that has no 'products or services' from other states moving over its wires?
If that were the relevant criterion, there would effectively be no limits no the power of the federal government at all and we didn't need a Constitution or any enumerated powers. Obviously, that is not what the commerce clause means.
How exactly are you making that leap? That the federal government has the sole authority to regulate interstate commerce doesn't mean it can ignore the rest of the Constitution.
I share your opinion of Wickard (I almost choked in con-law when I read the opinion), but the lines in your town make global commerce possible. Even something as banal or annoying as an out-of-State telemarketer calling you at dinner time is interstate commerce. That puts the means under federal authority.

Yeah, Comcast.

Wouldn't it be easier to use YouTube videos to train robot cats?
Why not a C-5A? You could put a pool and basketball court in that sucker!
I'm confused and frightened!

How do you separate that from legitimate law enforcement?
Ah, I see! Why not just say then, "This stinks, how about a new series instead ya lazy jerks!?!"

...yes!
which due to tachyon flux has evolved into a catch-phrase spewing mascot with the power to float just out of reach.
How many tabs did you take?
Haven't you ever seen Red Dwarf?

He is a big fan. And a very talented writer to boot! At least when it comes to comedy... I wonder how those skills will translate.
But, isn't that an entirely backwards-looking statement?
Nick Frost will play a comically bumbling Klingon with a funny name.
Thank you for making Elite: Dangerous possible.
Ah, if only the waveform had collapsed into the universe populated with loads of sexy, triple-breasted space babes.

Not that Gibson will see a dime. He might, like Heinlein (Waldo), get it named after the story though.
