Probably because they have fixed expenses of their own which they have to pay no matter how much income they receive.
You realize there is insurance for that kind of thing, right? Why the hell should citizens be forced to cover the gap because a power company decided that paying insurance premiums was too expensive?
Some teams consist of up to 20 people, Sleight said.
“Gabriel is so advanced with math he basically just took over the project and did everything,” Sleight said. “It really was like a one-man team.”
No, you just read the first paragraph of the first google hit.
Anyway from what I've read, the guy is a pretentious little git who can't stand working with mere mortals anyway and ends up finishing projects on his own. Maybe one day he'll grow up and realize that even he has very real limitations.
I believe the argument goes that the people who will assault you are going to assault you no matter what. Making a law against it has not eliminated crime. In fact laws do absolutely nothing to deter crime - changing the socioeconomic conditions of society has a far greater effect on crime. However if there is no law, then you are also free to defend yourself as you please without having to worry if a court will take your self defense argument seriously or not.
It all makes sense now. Somewhere in the future they lost control of the monkeys. He came back to get some specific hardware to be able to talk some sense into them.
Considering Apple's 70+ billion dollar CASH reserve, it's not sold anywhere near a loss. They could probably manufacture it in the US and still make a profit. But of course people love them because they outsourced everything to China to make even more profit. Greed is good.
You really don't understand how corruption works, do you? It would not be a false conviction at all. It would be a very real conviction, documented, with a valid chain of evidence and everything. The reasons can be many - from the "guy they think is the criminal but can't actually arrest him for anything because he hasn't done anything they can prove" situation - like Al Capone; to the "rival gang member needs to be taken out quickly because gang A just paid me $100k to lock up the leader of gang B so I will just upload this stuff onto his computer and call in an "anonymous tip"" situation. It even includes the "pay me $100k or you get thrown in jail" situation where the corrupt law enforcement/government agent decides to put the squeeze on someone.
Maybe it's because I live in the third world and am used to dealing with corruption like this almost on a daily basis that I am so cynical. However if anyone (police or otherwise) can clandestinely install a program on your machine/cell phone/whatever and have it upload/execute programs, then all machines/cell phones/whatever can be compromised and such "evidence" shouldn't be admissible in court anymore.
Can this trojan upload child pornography (or any other incriminating files/images) to the suspects computer, to be collected as "evidence" at a later date? I suspect it can. And if this program can uninstall itself at a later date, then this is a perfect tool for "bring him in, boys". Oh George Orwell, how foresighted you were.
Yes and Kimberly Clark has 100% of the Kleenex market. Wtf is wrong with you? An iPad is a tablet computer, and there are plenty of other tablet computers that are not iPads.
Why? The patent office long ago figured out that they get more money from approving patents than from rejecting them. They don't care if patents later get overturned - the consequences are zero.
Mozilla is a third party from Windows, and I can buy apps through my browser. I can also wear Levi's Jeans and go to a store and buy software through my jeans. I even carry my money in a pocket of said jeans. Apple is pretty damned evil and I wonder if Jobs was a moderating force and we can expect to see even more of this in the future, or if he was a driving force and they are going to start calming down soon.
Reminds me of that 80's comedy, "Head Office", when the CEO of a large corp is taking the CEO of another corp on a helicopter tour of the city: "When I came to this town I only had 50 million dollars in my pocket. Now I own all this!"

Oh, how do you read it? He only got second place, btw.

If I can google it, so can you. Yeah, I can be pretentious too.
Not trying to fit a square peg in a round hole?

Now I challenge the monkeys to create a grand unified theory. You have 2 weeks. Go! What do you mean it only works backwards?

Clearly sarcasm is wasted on you.

Where is the document? I call BS.
How about you work it out for yourself.
Of course you could always change your DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and avoid DNS blocking entirely...
Because 20 years of getting raped over the internet is just not enough.

I am a patent attorney.
I wouldn't say that too loudly around here, doc. We hang boys like you in this town...
PS - the above was an attempt at humor. If you find it offensive, well, too bad.
Nah they still have to work on that other 60% market share.
