It's not longstanding at all. I'm a conservative fellow, there isn't an originalist case for corporate personhood. It doesn't exist. Anyone that says so is selling you bs.
Maybe it makes great policy sense to treat corporations as people, but it's quite another thing to say it's constitutional.
I got it not knowing it had a number pad. I don't know why it has one or on what basis Dell chooses to put it on some and not others. The keyboard and trackpad being shifted off center is bothersome.
It makes me curious what the dimensions of Dell's other 15in laptops are that don't include the number pad. Is the screen smaller? Is the keyboard larger? In the future I'm going to avoid buying the Inspiron line. You never know what you're gonna get.
Anything you go for will take time and put you into debt. What are the odds you will make enough money so that the degree pays for itself? It's something I've thought of myself. I'd rather plug along and slowly build or maintain what I have rather than incur a great deal of debt. Maybe a cert here and there, but that's it.
Your employer has veto power over what your health insurance covers, but asking for your Facebook password is too far? I'd love to hear what the Republicans in Congress say on this.
About 50 people so far have given some variation of, "Well, if it's all legal then it must be ok." It's not troubling to anyone that they worked within the law to create a fiction, which is that they don't really operate or exist in the UK? It's wrong because it isn't true. Like in the USA we had Reagan redefine ketchup as a vegetable or something. I say this almost ever time this topic comes up, but it really seems to me that libertarians are nothing more than the useful idiots of big business. Sure, they like to think they support business in general, but it's always big business they rise to defend. As if Amazon needs defenders.
Yes, but is marketing speech harmless? Marketing is done to influence people's behavior. It's successful and makes marketing firms lots of money. Certainly these marketing firms will take credit for selling 12% more jeans this quarter or whatever. But what about the negative consequences that result from this marketing? Will they take credit for that? Should they? Can we at least say that these marketing firms are morally culpable when they influence people in a negative way?
The problem with that is time. Over time other people will expound on what was said. They will find deeper meaning, hidden meaning, and maybe even turn the whole sentiment upside down.
I try to buy clothes in an actual store. Lately, I've found that the stores simply choose not to carry my pant size anymore. Sears actually puts up a sign telling customers which sizes are online only. Hey Sears, if you are telling me to go online then why would I get it from your online store and not one of the others that has it cheaper? No wonder some of these places are hurting so bad.
In the days since the encounter with five Iranian patrol boats in the Strait of Hormuz, American officers have acknowledged that they have been studying anew the lessons from a startling simulation conducted in August 2002. In that war game, the Blue Team navy, representing the United States, lost 16 major warships — an aircraft carrier, cruisers and amphibious vessels — when they were sunk to the bottom of the Persian Gulf in an attack that included swarming tactics by enemy speedboats.
“The sheer numbers involved overloaded their ability, both mentally and electronically, to handle the attack,” said Lt. Gen. Paul K. Van Riper, a retired Marine Corps officer who served in the war game as commander of a Red Team force representing an unnamed Persian Gulf military. “The whole thing was over in 5, maybe 10 minutes.”
Assuming the FDIC doesn't go bankrupt, how long can a person expect to wait for their funds to be returned to them? How long can any of you be without your savings?
I'm not seeing why you would need the same number of guards you had patrolling the halls when robots are patrolling the halls instead. Some of the guards will still be needed, but not nearly as many as were needed before.
The way I feel right now they seem to do something every few months to try to get more money from me. I don't enjoy having to watch like a hawk for term changes. Don't like it when my bank does it, don't like it when Netflix does it. Paying for the year to get Amazon is attractive to me because I get to pay for the year with the full understanding that I know exactly what I get. Although not attractive enough to switch from Netflix, at this time...

Are shell corporations people too?
Not a programmer. Did gcc do that back in the Q3 days or does it do it now?

It's someone using an exploit for gain. Isn't that the distinction between black hat and white hat? Amazon being black hat in this case.

I've always wondered how much the 10 years or so of foot dragging is figured into the Cape Wind rate. Anyone have an idea?

Also, thou shalt worship an angry and vengeful God and maybe for your slavish devotion he will take pity on you in this life but more likely the next.
Every time I go into a Staples they have more and more computer stuff. They seem to be doing ok.

Google killed DejaNews deader than Julius Caesar.
I went there and looked at their other courses. Only 3? The Bloomberg thing is advertising for something that isn't there.

How happy will they be when someone realizes they aren't needed anymore?
Haven't read much of this book yet, but it appears to be relevant. And it is a free download.

I think I noticed it a bit. Just a tad.
Crab fishing? Ice road trucking? Paranormal investigation?
Unfortunate their manufacturing is in a place where stuff like that can happen. Oh well.

When you say Blockbuster, do you mean their actual stores? They are all gone around me unfortunately.
