Treasuries and real estate. That is where the money is going. That is why governments in Europe can get away with charging negative interest on bonds and why the cost of land has exploded. The amount of savings out there is huge, and it is locked up in non-productive assets because when you are a trillionaire there is simply no point in trying to get more money, especially when you are old and will probably be dead in 15 years. So you buy real estate and treasuries, because you can always sell those.
The studios have never ever understood how to market and produce Star Trek, except for a very brief period when Berman was around. Instead of crying over this dead horse, the fans need to gather round and make something to replace it. Completely. That means no Klingon language. Who knows, it might be far superior to the original. Then you won't have to worry about legal encumbrances and what their executives will let you do.
I lived in Louisiana during David Duke's gubernatorial campaign. I remember the cross burnings in my own neighborhood. I don't need SPLC to tell me what he was.
Basically, they're still figuring out the hacking thing, and made some amateurish mistakes. In their attempt to secure a conviction, they're trying to retcon some of the stupid things they did into an established law enforcement practice.
The government made several absurd arguments in that particular case, of which the "altering" argument was only one. It's sad, because Playpen deserved to be destroyed, not used as a civil liberties test case.
Petraeus isn't the bar. He's the other recent exception to the recent draconian upswing in classified material prosecutions. They made an exception for him for precisely the same reason; he was connected and part of the "team". Holder intervened specifically in his sentencing. As I understand, he even retained his security clearance. The only reason they charged him at all is likely because he had something the administration wanted, but couldn't get without legal pressure.
It's heartbreaking she won't admit that domestic workers training H1B replacements essentially proves their visa applications are falsified, which is a crime.
The solution is to give all current H1B's permanent green cards. When companies realize they can't use their visa status to extort lower wages the demand for immigrant labor will evaporate.
He just killed 5 people and wounded others. The five he killed were armed and trained. Of course he was an imminent threat. Would you walk into a building some fuknut was likely trying to lure you into after all that? I'll admit that the remote control drones have encouraged a casual attitude toward killing in other theaters, but there was nothing casual about this particular event. They absolutely made the right call to not risk any more lives trying to take that guy. If I was going to debate against use of drones I wouldn't start with the incident where it was unquestionably the best decision.
Quitting without notice is unprofessional. So is laying off employees without notice. Most employers would give notice in the event of layoffs or provide severance, so I think it's only fair that employees at companies which do that observe the same courtesy. However, you have to acknowledge there are exceptional cases and exceptionally bad companies, like in anything.
You can't build upon a patent. It's not a technical description of the invention, but a contrived legal one. If all I gave you was the patent application, you would not be able to build what the patent actually described.
He said a lot of things back then, like how the Tiananmen Square massacre was a good thing because it showed the world how tough China was. He's gotten better at hiding what he is since he started doing TV.
That would be always, since a single patent or small group of parents is of no use whatsoever, as an established company would swat you like a fly with a countersuit on 1000+ patents of theirs you infringed. Only by accumulating a very large number of patents and cross-licensing them can you really be safe from that.
People go out of their way to make excuses for Apple design decisions. If Microsoft had done something similar I would be looking a at Bill Gates borg icon on the article, and people would be calling for antitrust lawsuits.
Apple is more closed and controlling than Microsoft ever was, it's just that the goal of their control is selling hardware instead of software.
My problem with Holder (and I think most people's), is that the softness of his tone can be directly correlated to the political influence of who he is addressing. That's why we don't have bank CEOs in prison for securities law violations after the 2008 mortgage credit crisis. Holder now perceives that there is some political support (particularly abroad) for Snowden, so he is now hedging against that with this fence sitting. I don't think for a moment his personal feelings have changed at all.

I think they're terrified the show might succeed, at which point they will feel obligated to make more of a show they frankly hate.

He's not a Constitutionalist, he just plays one on TV.

They would use him to trade for Snowden. I'm surprised you would even ask that.

I'll pardon you in 10 years.
Then companies would just file the same patent over and over and slightly change the wording.

I actually couldn't tell if this article was a joke or not.
Grocery stores have had Thank You cards here for over a decade. They are indeed a loyalty program as you describe.

Assuming it's even legal for a lawyer to represent him without being charged with offering "materiel support".
You forgot the Inspector General's office selling out whistleblowers to the people they blew the whistle on.
Too bad he didn't take that perspective with the investment banks.
No wonder our system is dysfunctional.
