Yes, mainly because it pays really, really well compaired to other jobs in the IT industry for the same level of work. Granted the hours are usually horrible (12 on/12 off for months at a time).
Sadly that amendment is not really enforcable. The Supreme Court has basically said there is not a person in the country who would have standing to bring a suit to overturn a pay raise, so if Congress raises it's pay there is nothing that can be done to stop it.
The reason people want simple laws is for the same reason you want simple code. The more complex it is the harder it is to actually spot loopholes/bugs and to understand what is going on.
A lot of the legalese exists solely to obfuscate what the law is actually doing.
The restraining order actually prevents the police from removing the protestors again until it can be properly litigated. It will likely be weeks until this is settled.
My guess is that they're breaking even on basketball and making all the money on football. If basketball was a profit center the college realignment would be working differently than we've seen.
The thing with basketball is that the biggest payday is from the tournament instead of the regular season. But the NCAA controls that and not the individual schools or conferences. It's one of the big hang-ups on a FBS playoff since it would be either big money for the NCAA (if it was run through them) or the conference would see that they don't need the NCAA and break away (if they ran it without the NCAA). Either scenario is too scary for those involved to think about.
Now a days law school is really no better than a MA in music. The number of new lawyers being produced outstrips the number of lawyers needed, meaning most people who go to law school and pass the bar wind up with nothing but student loans to show for it.
Digital has the disadvantage though if you forget the file format it was stored in your out of luck. With film all you need is a spool and a flash light.
No, they are different markets and require entirelly different product lines, responses, etc. Trying to do both will doom a company, pick one or the other.
No one tells the Congress what to do, but that's not the point of the Internet sales tax. It's to give cover to Amazon for their aggressive tax avoidance schemes. They keep saying that it will stop that nonsense if there was only an Internet sales tax, knowing full well there will never be such a thing. It let's them act like a good corporate citizen without actually being one.
I don't know why they fight taxes on all levels so much. Likely some sort of psychosis.
Amazon would collect and remit the payment to State B. Sales tax is collected against where the customer is at. This has be the law of the land for decades. It was settled when the Amazon was a Sears and Roebucks catalog.
They're not against LightSquared, but the frequencies that were assigned for Lightsquare for their LTE to Satellite system. The assigned frequencies for the Satellite links were right next to the frequencies used for GPS and they want to be quite agressive in using those frequencies. This causes bleed over into the neighboring frequncies, which can normally be filtered out, but GPS works differently than most other comms systems and the signals it recieves are weak.
If Sprint is having LightSquared installed equipment on the telecom frequencies that they already own for land based communication (which it sounds like they are), it would have no effect ont he DoD\FAA complaints about their other system.
No one is forcing them to destroy their originals and replace them with the new and allegedly inferior mix.
This is what I don't understand about the Star Wars complainers. If they stop buying the new copies and just keep watching the old ones, he'll stop making changes. He's only releasing a new edition every year or two because everyone and their cousin goes out and buys it.
ow many people would be up in arms if some stupid studio "creative" executive started adding cgi to Forbidden Planet, War of the Worlds, or The Day the Earth Stood Still just to please a modern audience ?
They redid the "The Day the Earth Stood Still's" CGI not too long ago. But for some reason they made Michael Rennie look like Keanu Reeves. I wasn't up in arms, but was a definite why did they waste money on this? Seemed like a lot of work for very little benefit. They should of just left it like it was.
Most of the time cities with multiple airports are all run by the same authority so the company at one location is likely to be at all locations. (i.e. the NY-NJ Port Authority run JFK, LGA, and EWR, for a different company you'd need to go to Trenton or White Plains.)
The thing is since there is no real way to "shop around", market forces won't work and privatization only will lead to increased costs and even crapper service since the companies that bid will want to make a profit and there really is no way to vote with your dollar to go somewhere else.
The the story comment should of said this "That this is the first non-bird, non-mammal amniota ever sequenced". It didn't say that, it explicitly moved all warm-blooded birds in to the cold-blooded reptile category.
The grandparent comment then compounded that mistake by trying to say everyone else was wrong because they may have shared the same parentage sometime in the past. If that was true then we're all protozoa, all the other categories won't exist since we all same the same parent species from sometime in the past.
If dinosaurs are birds that means dinosaurs are not reptiles. Sorry dude reptiles and birds share as much in common as mammals and birds. The statement above is total nonsense.
EDS was fading before HP bought them. They basically got into a multibillion dollar fixed-price contract with the government (NMCI) that they completely underestimated the costs for and wound up losing a fortune. HP acquired them in the death spiral when they were ridiculously cheap.
If anything HP slowed EDS's decline rather than causing them to lose their luster.
My guess is that Square will sue not the gamers. They likely have contracts on what can be done to their product while it is in the hands of Gamestop before it's sold to the end customer.
The other thing is there are no mountians to dampen the quake so people feel it from St Louis to Miami to Maine. So more people get wind it happened sooner.

Is it common to request work in a warzone?
Yes, mainly because it pays really, really well compaired to other jobs in the IT industry for the same level of work. Granted the hours are usually horrible (12 on/12 off for months at a time).

And actually cheaper. A big part of the cost increase is financing the costs over a longer period of time than was originally planned.

Same is true of film actually.

Yes, but Walmart.com does deal with the thousands without a lick of trouble.
Which is why income tax has the 16th Amendment. No commerce clause needed.

You're right, T-Mobile USA has 42,000 employees.

Umm, this is GameStop. They don't sell Factory sealed items, even on things marked "new".
My guess is that Square will sue not the gamers. They likely have contracts on what can be done to their product while it is in the hands of Gamestop before it's sold to the end customer.

iPads and iPod touches use iOS, but they are not smartphones. Including them into the marketshare of smartphones makes no sense.
