Personally, I think the fine should be ALL of the ill-gotten profits. If they benefit by ten million, take that ten million, plus a punitive fine. If they profit by 100 million, take that 100 million, plus a punitive fine.
For that to be fair you can't just take the money from the companies bank accounts now. The current owners of the company are not entirely the same people as those who owned it when the fraud was perpetrated. Countless investors have bought and sold over the years and the investors who own the company today may not have benefitted from the fraud at all. If I bought dell shares two weeks ago why should I pay a fine while investors who profited and sold years ago are laughing to the bank?
No, s/he (or it from now on) just can't read very well. It thought that astronaut's name was 'Jonathan Clark'. Rather than Jonathan being the husbands name. And with Jonathan being a transitionally male name it's was confused and posted above...
And you pedestrians, don't act so smug. A few weeks ago I saw a walkin' talkin' fool step out in front of a bus without looking (lucky for him, a conscious observer yanked him back from the clutches of death).
I have coined a new word for types of people: Zombestrians. I see zombestrians everywhere now days, either on talking phones, texting or listening to iPods.
One major reason for the corn subsidies being so high and so untouchable is because IOWA and other corn producing states have their primaries scheduled first. As a result they have a proportionate amount of power. Any candidate who wants to win the White House must have a good showing in the very first presidential primary – the Iowa caucuses.
If you can figure out how I can support my lifestyle
Your missing the point, that is a lifestyle. It sounds like you are working too hard to support your "lifestyle" and as a result have no lifestyle. I assume that by "lifestyle" you mean stuff. Maybe you should just buy less stuff and then you would have some extra time.
For me as a website operator the best solution would be to have this as a DNS option. Some flag that is returned with the DNS request that says to the browser "Connect to IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously if IPv6 works within X milliseconds of IPv4 note that in the DNS cache and use IPv6 for all subsequent connections otherwise use the IPv4 connection and drop IPv6". If that was an option I would add IPv6 support today. Otherwise it's just a waste of time. It would also be nice if, during the transition period, the OS could figure out if the ISP supports IPv6 and, if not, auto disable it but I can't think of a non hacky way of doing that.
Well, there is an entire page devoted to privacy for "Apps" with every option I can think of. (I've unchecked them all).
Also, I can pick my friends and customize what they can see. Some friends I can limit. I suppose trusted friends can be hacked but I don't see what facebook can do about that. That's an intrinsic risk one takes when sharing information with another party. My bank can be hacked. Anyone I give information to can be hacked. I suppose the age old adage "Choose your friends wisely" applies.
"Friends of Friends" is an option in the privacy settings as well. It's pretty easy to set everything to "Friends Only" if you want.
When they added "Instant personalization" a dialogue showed up the first time I logged in explaining it and I unchecked the related box. It's also on the privacy page.
So again what privacy settings are missing? It seems I can control everything I can think of pretty easily...
Seriously? Every pump I've been to has the grade shown in 2 inch high letters directly on the button with the price shown directly above. When you press the button it lights up and the price is displayed at the top. How could you possibly cock this up?
More worrisome is the recent revelation that many gas pumps to under dispense fuel by 2 - 3%. The government here (BC) did a random test and found a lot of cheating...
I've been using facebook for a long time now. I know all about zukerberg's questionable past and general sliminess. But tell me this, what lack privacy settings is everybody complaining about? I checked the privacy page just now and it seems I have control over everything I can think of. And the interface is pretty straight forward. Is there something I'm missing? Or are people just having a knee jerk reaction here?
This is a serious question, if there is a important privacy setting missing from facebook I want to know because I use it everyday.
In a poor country not having a job/money is a death sentence (unless you have family members to take care of you). Family is much more important as they are your safety net. There is no welfare. There is no social security. There are no homeless shelters. There is just starvation and death.
Agreed, a spell check engine could easily be seen as bloat but I wouldn't use a browser without one.. same goes for tabs, an easily accessible search box, plug ins, full screen mode, auto complete, java-script debugger, and I'm sure the list is different for everybody.
The difference between Indian and china is that India is a democracy and the lower castes represent votes. Votes keep the government in power... see where I am going with this?
Canada had to do this in response to the US. The US required everyone entering to have a passport. If Canada didn't do the same they'd be stuck with a bunch Americans who came over the border with their drivers licenses and couldn't easily pass back into the US for lack of the required passport.
the government got $58 with which it then generally spends servicing a huge debt it should never, ever have gotten into,
The debt is not as bad as it seems, it depends upon who is holding this debt. If it is domestic American institutions and citizens then the interest money stays in country and is likely spent in the country. What can be bad is if it's foreign held debt. Then the money leaves the country and is sent abroad.
I never see this distinction made in the main stream media and I think it's an important one.
I don't know which rock you (and the mods who modded you up) have been living under for the past few years but this has already happened. Ethanol induced food shortages were front page news in 2008 when oil prices skyrocketed and ethanol production increased. I know it's easy to forget these things when they doesn't affect you but the billions of people world wide who went hungry (and the many who died) definitely haven't forgotten. This all occurred very quickly in response to a rather small increase in ethanol production.
Here are a few articles I found for your reference...
What don't you just print then directly to TIFF or PDF. I'm sure there is a driver available that emulates a printer and just prints to a TIFF or PDF file instead of paper. The way you are doing it seems like a huge waste of paper! (and time)
Just a heads up, there are other tools that can upload to facebook.... I use iPhoto on my Mac; just select the album I want to upload and click "upload to facebook". It's been a year since I've used the facebook uploader and you're right it's terrible.
Along a long enough timeline, everything gets commoditized, and IT workers are no exception.
Not true. Some groups form professional organizations and rake in the big bucks by making it difficult for others to join and compete. Lawyers, Doctors, Nurses, Pharmacists, Engineers are a few that have to certified by various professional organizations before one is allowed to practice.

How does an app maintain a network connection? or listen of incoming messages? Or is this not possible?
And you pedestrians, don't act so smug. A few weeks ago I saw a walkin' talkin' fool step out in front of a bus without looking (lucky for him, a conscious observer yanked him back from the clutches of death).

then you can easily predict a stock's movement and make some easy income;
If it's that easy why aren't you a billionare? (or are you?)

What happens when all that China has left, is China?
... and Wal-mart. I don't think Wal-mart can stop selling Chinese made goods without largely destroying itself.
The Indian government has instituted a lot of affirmative action policies to address this
