It happened to Apple once already -- the founders forced out, and bean counters making cuts and skipping investment in new stuff. It works, for awhile, and profits even increase, but eventually they start lagging behind. By that time, the first few bean counter CEOs have ridden off into the sunset with millions in reward for doing a "good job" on the profits.
Unions try to bloat their membership by requiring separate workers for different job classifications, even if that work type isn't full time.
You must hire extra sweepers rather than have, say, machinists clean their own area at the end of the day, even on company time. Also, when Hostess went bankrupt, one of the things they got rid of was unions forcing two different delivery trucks, one for bread, one for sweets, even if they were going to the same delivery places. And at one point in the 1970s, the auto unions had something like 1 full-time, company-paid-for shop steward for every 6 employees, in stead of 30 or 100.
Whatever good they do (which is always trotted out as a defense) they are the opposite of increasing efficiency and productivity trends.
Their concern about another layer of government growing was a valid concern. If there's one conclusion from history, that is it. For better or for worse, Europe's new federal government is growing in power much faster than Washington did.
One would think "somebody" does it. People who know the latest of each kind of crypto work on it as a hobby or professionally. I also assume people have hardware monitors on Windows (and other OS machines) at their router level and understand every single packet going out from the computer, and their contents, of the base OS. Does MS really only phone home for things they say in their EULA?
Such tracking is exactly the kind of thing the King of England would have used against the Founding Fathers, and would have been banned by them after the Revolution, which would have been very much less likely with "metadata" gathering and tracking of who called whom, whether it be gun shops or other supporting people.
Saying "metadata" isn't protected is the biggest fraud in recent history. We must continue backing the government away from building the tools of tyranny. It makes no difference that they "use it wisely" currently. Don't let it get started at all.
This is for the weak-minded who get upset over "absolutism". Go read the Bill of Rights.
Anti-competitive behavior is only bad insofar as it retards advancement. You have forgotten this and treat it as a bad value all by itself, which it is not.
Patents stop "competition" from people who did not think up the great idea from stealing it, without paying for any of the work that it took to develop that idea. It is akin to government protecting a farmer's field from raiding, so he can be secure in growing a crop and selling it.
In this, it enhances advancement, which is the real goal, and a good value.
Now is your chance, Australia. Do the world a favor and show them, at this election, in no uncertain terms what you think of politicians who want to censor.
On another note, the prosecutors also tried to prevent the defense from attempting to examine test data replicating the Google Maps search that was created by investigators by claiming national security!
That sounds completely like a load of hooey. What would local prosecutors be doing with such detailed research? This completely skips the issue that they get to present such detailed info without the defense getting to examine how they determined its detailed value.
If I were the judge, at a minimum now, I would demand they show their contacts in the NSA who "helped" them to make sure such a connection even exists. It isn't their job to just decide what they are doing somehow has national security importance.
Well, that's true except they independently developed this feature, meaning the common split point didn't have it at the genetic level.
Did these common genes develop from the same common genes, or completely different ones? As things break and re-arrange, some paths would be more common than others by the very mechanisms of reproduction.
It may be more like fin vs. arm, the "same stuff", where that is defined as the same genes with alteration, except in this case, the common ancestor genes had nothing to do with echolocation.
Perhaps collisions of stars with other things big enough to have an effect (i.e. other stars) is much rarer than planets being knocked around by other planets (and planetoids) and even non-collision stars passing by.
I wonder if gas balls will re-orient to surrounding rotations a lot more easily than rocky planets.
An enormous $230 million+ chunk of Howard Hughes' estate took decades just to settle which area had jurisdiction over it, and was finally settled in 2010.
Article mentions it's nicknamed the Senate Launch System, and in any case, they can cut it and lose fewer votes, not to mention later politicians love to cancel earlier one's big projects.
Few remember the previous big launch system was cancelled by Obama when he came into office. It's all a cynical game.
Dictators would love for masses with clownlike minds like yours, who are ready to jump on the meme that those who dislike gigantic government are morally bad or evil.
Did you even read anything? The clown of the OP's subject is brazenly suggesting people simply doubting the greatness of gigantic government are inherently being immoral.
Your blathers seem to suggest you are on the same boat.

I'm sure Congress will ignore Syria and ever-mounting spending problems and jump right on this pressing issue!

Aren't spy drones mainly involved in people undressing?

Accidental vs. deliberate. One side feels bad about what they did, the other has a party. A danceless party, but a party.
From a Decision Theory partitioning point of view, "assuming the husband/boyfriend did it" gets a stellar 90% success rate! :-/
Speaking of which, doesn't the NSA record every browser transaction? They should just go look up this, and the VOIP thing, too, in the NSA's database.
It can be both -- he does the murder and prosecution plants the evidence. They feel like good guys getting someone they "know" did it.

OH THANK GOD, they're normal human beings.

You forgot "a corporation guided by people chronically on 3 hours' sleep."

3,000 lost lives have caused us to spend trillions on wars. A fraction of that invested in additional medical research would have saved far more.
A death in front of the cameras is worse more than a million deaths on a hospital bed...to a politician.

There is nothing absolutist about it.
