Chairman Battista and Member Schaumber also adopt the judge's conclusion that the Respondent did not violate the Act by maintaining a work rule that forbids employees from fraternizing with coemployees or with the employees of Respondent's customers.
They let the decision stand. Saying they "took no action" is like saying an appeals court denying an appeal is taking no action. The reason they didn't discuss it in the Order section is that they aren't ordering the company to do anything regarding the fraternization rule.
No matter how many times you repeat your premise, it's not going to become correct.
Don't you think the press would have a field day if he'd stopped?
Asked after the speech whether he would take the subway to City Hall like Bloomberg if elected mayor, the Upper East Side resident hesitated.
Kilby would never have made those claims for himself. From the Washington Posts's obit:
"It's astonishing what human ingenuity and creativity can do," he said. "My part was pretty small, actually." Whenever people would mention that Kilby was responsible for the entire modern digital world, he liked to tell the story of the beaver and the rabbit sitting in the woods near Hoover Dam. "Did you build that one?" the rabbit asked. "No, but it was based on an idea of mine," the beaver replied.
So, what kind of scale are we talking about here? To simulate, say, a million-transistor CPU and a megabyte of RAM, how many qubits would you need? About as many as you need transistors, or radically less?
From TFA:
"In principle, quantum computers would need only 10,000 qubits to outperform today's state-of-the-art computers with billions and billions of regular bits," Lafyatis said.

The Plame case is different for a very important reason: The very act of revealing her name was, itself, a crime. A crime to which the ONLY witnesses were journalists. And because, as defined by our federal laws, that crime was in fact Treason.
Actually, nobody is claiming treason in the Plame case. The law they are using is the http://foi.missouri.edu/bushinfopolicies/protectio n.html Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982. The law in the ThinkSecret case is the http://nsi.org/Library/Espionage/usta.htm Uniform Trade Secrets Act, which California has adotped. The two cases are actually somewhat similar.
No, this is 100% about journalism and blogging. If a New York Times reporter had received the same information as the bloggers and reported it, he would not have to reveal his source. Journalists are protected in that regard.
MacOS X does a lot of really nice, small things. For example, say you're mousing around in the finder looking for a file, and then you want to access it from the command line. How do you get the path out to the shell? Easy, just drag the file onto the terminal window in which you need the filename, and bam, it types the filename in for you.
Just FYI, you can do this in WinXP, too. If you download a Power Toy, you can also right click and choose "Open Command Window here", which I find really useful.
One of the things that bugs me about the OSX finder is the lack of a "Open Command Window here", and the lack of a place to copy a full path (like Explorer's address bar). I didn't know about the drag the file onto the term window thing in OSX though. Thanks!
Maintaining a dozen or two machines is a whole different animal from maintaining a hundred or two. As the parent poster said, the value is in knowing you will be able to buy another machine with the same parts. That way your ghost image will still work.
A support contact with cheapie Dells doesn't guarantee getting something that works with your image - they change those crappy parts all the time.
My only question is: How do you tell Windows XP to use a unique computer name for each imaged machine?
If you don't care what the names are, in your answer file for computername use "auto". If you do care, you use a udf file with your unattend.txt. The MS docs on this subject are actually pretty good.
Don't Oracle and Microsoft do the same thing, looking for illegal copies of their software?
Microsoft certainly does, but not Oracle, according to this story. Their software costs a fortune, of course, but their attitude seems a lot less adversarial. That may be due in part to the difficulty of determining Oracle licensing compliance, though. Every time I purchase a license from them, something has changed.
You didn't count the employer contribution to FICA. When you do (which most economists do), you find the Soc Sec rises to 15% up to $87k. This makes the total fed tax bill 34.4% for the $1M earner and 26.5% for the $10k earner. That's only 3.2% less than the president's! It also doesn't count regressive state taxes and fees.
This also doesn't take into account the fact that much(most?) of a $1M earner's income won't come from salary. Capital gains and dividends are of course capped at 15%. Yes, I still think the rich aren't overtaxed.

First of all, the analogy sucks. But you're using it incorrectly - the game didn't get cancelled, and no one is getting a refund - the ticket prices were lowered. What's wrong with lowering the prices of the cheap seats more than those of the expensive seats?

My link supports what point? That the rich pay 92% of all taxes? I used the 1% level because that's who the story is about. I don't think you'll find many Deomcratic politcians who claim that $26k, or even $40k, is rich. Those are income levels squarely in the middle class.
As far as saying "tax the rich", you're right, I probably would fall into that group, as would all politicians, Democrat or Republican. So what? Does that mean I can't be pro-progressive tax, and anti-regressive.
Finally, you're right, income doesn't tell the whole story. It's a big country, with disparate cost of living levels. I'm having trouble thinking of a better way, though. Any ideas?

And I suspect few of them are paying anywhere near 33.7%. For example, one family with an incentive to take only 100% legit deductions: Combined, the Bushes' last three years generated adjusted gross income of just over $2.56-million and federal taxes paid of $759,263. That's a tax rate of 29.7 percent. . I'm guessing people who don't have to file the most scrutinized tax return in the US take a few more liberties.

In other words, I'm right. You are only looking at personal income taxes, which make up only 48% of federal revenues. Try looking at the whole story.
Here's mine: CBO found that the top one percent of households paid 23 percent of all federal taxes that year, including payroll, excise and other federal taxes
Here's a news flash for you bud - personal income taxes make up only 48% of federal revenue.
