Running your own small business from home is far different from telecommuting into an established business. Like you, I am lucky enough to be working from home running my own business. That means I get to work in my pajamas every morning, be home when my son gets home from HS and spend time with him. I get to nap in the middle of the day if I feel like it or work late into the night if that is what I want. But do not think that what we have is what most people here have.
I am like you. I roll out of bed (8-ish), make coffee, get into my recliner, grab my laptop and get almost all of the "real" work done that needs to be. Then around 12:30, I have lunch then jump into the shower and get dressed. Any calls or appointments happen in the afternoon and when my son comes home at 2:30 I spend an hour with him before he starts his activities, at which point I go back to work until my wife gets home at 5:30 or I meet her at the gym at 4:30 (alternating days).
What is right for someone else is not going to be right for you. Find out what works best for you by changing it up every week for the first few months. I also find that my winter and summer schedules are far different. In the summer I can roll out of bed at 6:15 and head to the gym, no way I can do that in the winter.
The problem with that is that without patent protection the company has to keep the formula and process to make it secret, which means no peer review because you cannot review something that you cannot look at. That makes drugs far more dangerous.
Since India is a signatory to the Berne convention, they could be sued in an international court, or even in a national court in Germany (I think Bayer is from Germany) and then the Indian government and/or the generic house could owe Bayer ALL of the money they would have made on every pill sold by this generic house plus potentially other damages.
If that was really true, don't you think that pharma companies would give their money to companies that would do this for them at 5x the return per dollar?
As a taxpayer, all I can say is that firing this guy was a bad idea. There was already a discrimination lawsuit in place, now it will get even more complex and since NASA is a Federal agency, we the taxpayers have to pay for the lawyers on the NASA side. This was a government job, so there is a property right in question here. There is a freedom of religion question as well (whether you agree with him or not). The guy is having his side paid for by a Defense fund, so he is not going ot run out of cash.
So there are 2 probable outcomes: (1) This guy wins and we the taxpayers have to give him a ton of money. or (2) He loses and the case gets appealed, and appealed and appealed. This will be in the 9th Circuit eventually which means they will side with NASA based on their track record then it goes to the Supreme Court who is likely to hear it since there are a few Constitutional questions here, and whether he wins and gets a ton of money or loses and does not get any money, we taxpayers still have to waste all kinds of taxpayer money funding government lawyers.
Truckers often have to go coast to coast. To go from Northeastern Maine (Madawasaka) to Southwestern CA (Imperial Beach near San Diego) is almost 3,300 miles and the more-standard NY to LA is about 2,800 miles - not an everyday occurrence, but I know many people who have done it, me included.
Here in Metro NY I live one hour from Penn Station (NYC) by express train. Property taxes are high and so are housing prices, but when compared to owning an apartment in a decent building in NYC it is a bargain. But because we are in suburbia we have to have two cars and drive everywhere. The nearest supermarket is not walking distance. The train costs $300/month, but to drive would cost a hell of a lot more, so it works out to be a combination of mass transit and cars, but the cars are definitely needed. You also do not want to live walking distance from a train station - not particularly safe for the kids.
As an IT worker I have always documented. As a manager, an internal wiki was always set up by me during week one where one did not already exist. As a CTO that is one of the questions I ask of prospective managers. 15% of any project is given to documenting it. I have left positions where I left on the best of terms and gave tem my cell number with instructions to call if there is anything they need to know. Usually I get 1-2 calls just to clear up something that seemed obvious to me but to an outsider was a bit ambiguous. To me this is SOP - to do otherwise means you are not doing your job.
"The legal system should not be considering thoughts but only actions."
Really? So manslaughter = murder? You might want to rethink this. The whole idea of "Mens Rea", or what the person is thinking is integral to the entire criminal justice system in the US. If I hit you with my car and you die, it should not make a difference if I was trying to mow you down or you jumped out from behind a car and there was no way for me to see you? Without considering thoughts those two actions are the same.
Lots of people on here are giving answers that to a techie makes perfect sense, but in the real world do not.
Assuming you live in the US, are you in a Community Property state? In that case you might both own all of it. If not then other things come into play, but "who took the picture" and "who owns the copyright" and "in whose name is the domain registered" are stupid questions on their own.
You need to consult a matrimonial lawyer and not get advise from people who are giving "common sense" answers which are likely neither.

Wrong approach. People will walk off your tablets. Instead, have the users bring their own. Set up an open wireless connection that supplies the users with a captive DNS directing everything to your internal service that only serves up your content.
Don't provide any other open connection. Then your crap shows up on everybody's ipad and android phone. Be prepared to fend off angry customers.
But at least you save the cost and headache of managing all those tablets and don't have to.replace.them every week.
Right, because that disables the 3G connection so well.
That is a great suggestion - play armchair lawyer. Then when the company sues you and claims that the code does fall under one of the parts,you find yourself on the receiving end of a lawsuit and have to hire a lawyer.
Discuss this with your employer ahead of time. If the employer does not give you an exception, either find a new job or expect to fight a lawsuit and but several thousand dollars aside for legal expenses.
Here is the problem you are about to face...
Next time you work under someone, you are going to second-guess everything they do. What you need to do it to ask your company to send you for management training, my guess is that based on how you phrased things you have never had any. After that you need to take the time to figure out how to explain to your subordinates how you want something done and let them do it.
You may think you are the best person to do something, but if you can teach 5 or 10 (or more) people to do it the same way, that makes you far more valuable to the company and will get a you a larger paycheck as well. You just need to figure out how to do it all in a way that does not stress you to the point of snapping and eventually it will become easy and natural.
All that being said there is nothing to stop you from trying to teach the occasional night class at a local college.
But it is wrong. There are cars from the 1980s that get great gas mileage. The difference is the mandated changes for safety, which has made cars heavier. It takes more steel to make a car crumple the right way. I am not saying this is a bad thing - I am a fan of living through car crashes, but that is where the major mileage decrease happened.
It does not matter. They each got 7 representatives to the electoral college so regardless of what the popular vote was, where it truly counts, they tied.
oops - deleted the second half as I posted...
This is an appeals court for Florida so the precedent here is only for that portion of Florida that the appeals court covers, or maybe even all of FLorida, but to the rest of the country it means nothing at all.

Panera. Decent coffee and good wifi.

Perhaps on the West coast. Here on the East Coast it will be Microcenter.
If you borrow the money and do not pay it back, then the bank forecloses on the stock, do taxes get paid? I am not sure, but I do not think so.
Chicken is $2/lb not $2/kg. Also your housing is off by a factor of AT LEAST 10 for the US - at least in an area where you would want to live.
All you have to do is "say" that you are member of the trade. Half of the people at CES are the public.
