What planet do you live on? Certainly not one with nation states. While the current tax structure is bizarre,the one you are proposing has as a founding premise that world goverment is going to be more efficient than a local one. How does that work again?
Borders approached the problem of how to avoid to paying sales tax in CA - an area where they have a substantial physical presence. Essentially this ruling will be largely limited to entities that have a physical presence in a state but want to try to dodge paying sales tax. Essentially the Appellate court side this is one entity masquarading as two.
Sorry but making a new drug is not the same as making an operating system. An operating system can be developed by a single brilliant programer. Given the expense of FDA trials no drug can be developed that way. The R&D expense of bringing a new drug to market is roughly $750 million. Granted with a patent you will be looking at a 20 year monopoly which will allow you to get your investment back.
To argue that natural medicines are being forced out of the market is silly. You clearly know nothing about drug companies. Yes they spend a lot of money on marketing. They also spend three times that much on R&D. What companies are you exactly talking about?
The emulation from transitive is more than fast enough. Additionally why is emulation now a needed feature in Macs. They don't have them now and it's fine. Fat binaries? If that were a problem the entire computer industry would have ground to a halt over the last five years.
OS/X has performance issues on the server side? Why is this a problem? No one buying it now so switching the CPU is not going to impact revenue.
So why would moving the CPU platform that everyone else uses kill the Mac? It seems to me to continue to run an CPU that no one else does in the maarket and cannot compete on performance is a way to kill the Mac.
Given the cost of a patent, $127,000 will not buy you a single one. I just completed patent and there is no way I would sell it for that little. Nor would any other patent holder with a lick of sense.
Sorry but your friend working on Longhorn is hardly unbiased isn't he? So there are things that MS won't budge on heh? Well they are about to get the lesson in sovereign nations. I doubt very much that MS will take their ball and go home and right off a market of 400 million people.
Fair use is indeed a right - It's related the first Amendment - The part about free speech, remember that? I suggest you give the US Constitution a re-read.
1. A slight exaggeration. It was meant to be a long time ago. It's called poetic license. 2.At the end of the battle between Obi and Ani, Obi Wan picks up Anakin's light saber and walks off with it. As far as passing to his son, that once again poetic license on the part of Obi Wan (See 1. Keep in mind, he also glossed over the fact that Darth Vader was Luke's father) 3. Padme probably knew. She was also unconscious at the time. 4. R2D2 memory wasn't wiped. Which is why he referred to Obi Wan as his master. R2 is clearly the more trustworthy of the two druids.
Sorry to disappoint you but the gallery shots as they are used here are almost certainly fair use. They are certainly being used in both a news item and discussion. The person who posted them in reference to a news article is a well known journalist. Copyright laws in Germany are actually quite draconian - Thank you BMG!
The difference being that you are not lifting a submarine out of the earth's gravity well. As far Venus being a "time capsule," the surface of Venus has been scoured by rains of acid for millions of years. Very little has survived from the original formation of the solar system. The atmosphere in the early formation of the earth was nothing like the current atmosphere of venus. I would much rather seed the atmosphere with hyperthermophiles in an attempt to reverse the green house effect.
Because the runaway greenhouse effect on Venus has heated the surface temperature to a toasty 758 K (900 F). It's not just the atmosphere. There is very likely no life on the surface at that temperature. There might well be life above the lowest cloud layer. To give Venus CPR we would need to reverse the runaway greenhouse effect. Oh it also rains sulphuric acid there, hindering your exploration efforts
It looks like he has sold almost all his shares. I stand corrected and Forbes should probably change their article which still states the bulk of his wealth is MS stock. It wouldn't be so bad except that's a 2005 article. I went fishing for the information too and it's pretty hard to find as he is no longer a company insider. Here's an article from 2000 covering it.
Paul Allen is the second largest shareholder of Microsoft. He own roughly 9% of the company. Additionally he still sits on the board of Microsoft. But he doesn't have anything to do with MS as he stopped working there. He stopped working there because he doesn't have to work. That frigging ship of his is right out of a fucking Bond movie.
I wasn't talking about billing practices. I was talking about telcos efforts to slow down the growth of new features and development. When a telco talks about gracefully introducing a new feature, it how many years can we delay it.
Why would competing products simply go under? Are you seriously suggesting that large telcos would "go under" because small town USA has a crappy free muni wifi? That's illogical. Don't like the free service? Try something else. I would to see ONE example of a telco being forced out of business by muni wifi.
It also puts a real lie to the idea that the current Republican party is the party of the individual. This administration is one of the most corporate controlled administrations in recent memory.
Telcos really fear the competition. They really want to keep their current architectures intact so they can gracefully and marginally make changes in service.
Both Gore & Kerry advocated a "pay as you go" approach. In other words, unless you had money for it, you couldn't not spend money on a program. This may strike you as strange but it's the reason we stopped running deficits and started running surpluses. George Bush has just over seen the largest expansion of Medicare in 35 years. He has never vetoed a single spending bill. Never. The Medicare expansion also forbid Medicare to negotiate a volume discount on drugs. In other words in a total sell out to big pharma, the government will be purchasing billions of dollars worth of drugs AT FULL RETAIL. Simply saying Kerry would have wasted more money simply isn't true, nor does it justify the HUGE expansion of the deficit under George Bush. He may be many things but he is NO small government conservative.
I meet Ray at a conference about five years ago. Seems like a nice enough guy but Groove unless it sold for 1 Billion dollars was a total loss for the investors. A total of 155 Million dollars of VC went into the company. That's Right 155 MILLION. They had a FIFTH round of investment in 2003 of 38 Million. That's an insane amount of capital just to sell to MS for a few hundred million in stock. The investors would have been better off just buying MS stock. I cannot seem to find the terms of the deal online.
I recently installed a new Flash player and when I had to fire up IE for a compatibility test - there was the dang Yahoo Toolbar. I was pretty distracted when I did the install and Macromedia had, I repeat HAD, a very high trust factor with me. I don't use IE very often so I didn't notice it for a while. I thought to myself "that's very short sighted thinking Macromedia." They then moved from the high trust level to the do not trust level.

8.6% profit on HARDWARE is spectacular. Hardware is a very low margin business.

What definition of insurgency are you using? An insurgency, by definition would be occurring, "smack dab in the middle o fthe country."
BTW insurging isn't a word.

Patents usually expire after 20 years - Not 17. It also may have gotten extended. Patent expiration has no impact on past violations.
