NAND Flash is probably not seen as a reliable technology for use in a satellite, so they went with the much lower density but higher reliability of NOR Flash
What about the mega-giant-corp that employs people specifically to help their low paid works to claim food stamps/vouchers. Now the low paid are ineligible for those vouchers these people will be laid off, thus increasing the unemployment.
One benefit to these higher wages is the local/national government can use the money allocated for these vouchers to reduces taxes, improve infrastructure (repairing/replacing bridges before they collapse etc.) , There is also the benefit that these higher paid people will also contribute to an increased tax intake, through income and sales taxes.
Large families have declined along with the reduction in infant mortality, also people stop having kids in "educated" countries because they are no longer seen as a pension/health plan required to look after them in their old age.
It is understandable that sometimes we may be need to work more than 40 hours a week to get a job done to satisfy an import customer and that is OK.
But my view is that if I am contracted to work 40 hours a week, then that is what I will work. If the contract says 40 hours a week and I am expected to work 45 hours a week then I would have asked for an extra 12.5% in salary when negotiating for the job, I would not want to work 40 hours a week and feel I am getting paid for 45 hours.
hhawk, thanks for your reply, and yes I was being flippant.
You should be very careful when applying words like terrorism as the power of terrorism is not just the actual harm/damage it causes but also in the fear it instills in the rest of the targeted population and this is what makes it such a heinous crime and therefore subject to the 25 years of incarceration you have identified. I do not agree with what FTDI have done but I believe this might be covered by willful destruction of property and is likely covered by other statutes with a shorter prison sentence.
One last thing, companies making products that may have an impact on the safety of people while the device is in operation should have specific processes in place to guarantee the provenance of the parts they are using and not using cheap gray market parts off of Alibaba. There is no way FTDI should be held liable for some cheapskate company's purchasing policy, since in my opinion what they are doing is far worse than what FTDI have done.
People may want a pre-assembled computer that has been factory tested and shipped as a working product with compatible parts, e.g. the correct memory for the motherboard. Some people don't want to have to work these things out for themselves.
My daughter's school uses LibreOffice for writing up homework assignments, so she has this running on a PC with WinXP. She only plays games on a Wii and a PS3 and uses a Nexus 7 tablet for all her casual internet usage like facebook, youtube etc.
The PC is never turned on except to do homework, so I could probably replace WinXP with Linux, now when the PC fails I could attempt to repair it, or go out and buy her a new one paying the Microsoft tax and then install Firefox, Thunderbird and LibreOffice. Java and an antivirus programme. What I cannot do is go into a local store buy a PC with no OS (or at least a $0 OS installed) but has been factory tested with some form of hardware warranty and install my own OS which would meet the limited requirements of my daughter for homework. Yes, I could probably order one over the internet from a company that will probably build to order and take a couple of weeks but that is not convenient for me when I can walk into a store and see 30 different models for sale.
I don't see how it isn't not only illegal, but also terroristic -- and if any device that fails results in loss of life, limb or just economic damages I would think they would be culpable as well.
Not only is it terroristic it also paedophilic and communistic!
No, the guidelines were updated after the failed prosecution, as mentioned in a previous post, regarding Robin Hood Airport. So the DPP is not making the rules he is giving guidance to other public prosecutors on the strength of evidence required to convince a judge that a crime has been committed.
I am no lawyer but my understanding (I am in the UK) is this is how common law works in the UK. So any future actions brought before a judge with similarities to this trial are likely to use the outcome of the Robin Hood Airport appeal result as a test of the evidence for future trials.

Wouldn't the reduction in the number of ground frosts lead to an increase in the number of insects and vermin?
