The majority cost in every product is labour. You are stating that there are more labor costs in solar and wind than in other. Then saying it is cheaper. It can't be cheaper and require more labour. That is why its a terrible idea. Indeed even Obama said it would cost more when he famously said that your electric bill would go up under his plan.
If code isn't speech then it doesn't qualify for copyright protections; It would only be protectable with patents. Ironically this would further push code into the "trade secrets" category and would be even more protected in the current case.
And that is why its so important to Apple not to do anything else to help here. IF it looses its place as one of the best physically secured commodity devices, then Apple loses a lot of value as a company.
They'll use the Supreme Court case you're mentioning which held that as long as there was an expiration of the copyright in the new statute that congress could extend it because it is still for a "limited time."
I'm tired of morons thinking they understand traffic engineering. The speed limit should be set at around the 80th percentile of car speed on the road. If the 80th percentile is 20mph faster than the speed limit, the speed limit is broken; hell if its 10mph slower than average its being set at about the 30th percentile likely; so 70 percent of people are speeding on that road. Time and again studies show that most people drive a safe speed for the road and conditions regardless of the speed limit, whether faster or slower.
You on the other hand think that the speed limit is set by some omniscient being that knows whats best for the road and sets it and then the majority of people, being sheep, break it and lead to evil consequences. Because hey OBEY the limit, its not a retarded limit that needs fixed, because YOUR BETTERS SET IT.
I'm sure you'd prefer your cars designed by some randomdood since you prefer your roads and speed limits not designed by a qualified engineer either.
They didn't try; they succeeded. That was the change meant to be found and fixed. Now after its ratified you get to find the changes that weren't meant to be found but are far more odious.
Well its obvious that you at least haven't so its likely they haven't either. Do you even know what sparked the Battles of Lexington and Concord? The British troops were sent to confiscate the American's guns.
Software people are much closer to architects than engineers. The work falls much closer to the creative artistic than the applied physics that is the hallmark of engineering. But like traditional architects they work in a medium that requires consideration of human factors and laws of nature, just mathematical laws in the software case more than physical. Unfortunately the Software Architect title usually only falls to the person in charge of the top level overall design, when in fact the developers are also architecting their individual pieces. I think that the current industrial goal is to move those people actually doing the coding to the position that a civil engineer working with an architect has, but I think that is misguided.
get some asshole who has one of those tool large to actually carry on, carry on bags that too many people have and fill that thing with explosives and detonate it in the security line.
Strangely enough; unionization could actually facilitate this in a better way. If the trade union and not labour union model was used.
In a trade union, you contact the union and request a number of qualified skilled workers for the job; they do the job on contract and leave. So if you were renovating a building you might contact the Electrician union and get 3 Master Electricians and 5 Journeymen to do a job. They'll come and do the wiring, and you pay their union rate and when the job is over they're employment ends. The union takes care of benefits. If Jack shows up and you hate him you fire him and get a different person from the union. The union polices the skill of their members, and provides benefits from their dues.
So you would call the IT union and get your certified IT workers to complete the job and you pay the union rates. Of course, to square this analogy we might have to get licensed architects for the design to start with too. Maybe we take this further and the designs have to be signed of on by a PE and filed for reference too, so no more do you have confidential system architecture; for the public good needs to be regulated for safety. And then the system inspectors have to approve in test as well.
The more I think about this the more I expect that there will be a trade union for these type jobs; it solves many issues; at least as many for the companies as for the workers.
They maybe should set their sites on trying to match Home Depot. They are doing the model that Walmart purports to be going after. The difference being that when I do a buy and pickup at store; it actually gets picked and is waiting for me at Home Depot, but not so at Walmart. The online and in store stock db matches on Home Depot, but not at Walmart.
I guess it comes down to; Walmart's business plan could work and be successful; however to be able to execute they have to have store managers that are competent, and that seems to be against their policy.
The government required so many vegetable servings be given at meals to kids or the school lost its meal funding so to prevent the poor schools who weren't able to get enough vegetables from losing their funding they declared ketchup a vegetable. I suppose you'd rather the poor have gone hungry because the democratic congress wouldn't change the law?

And this is why its malinvestment. That productivity should be going elsewhere. This is a terrible idea even by your admission.
Which is far less than any airline crew get per year.

I like that Idea; Permanently hold the Summer Olympics in Liberia!
Now where to permanently place the winter games....
Be grateful there is no smell-a-vision! Imagine the coverage if there was.

I/O tends to be the system bottlenecks. Someone's trying to sell something.
You misunderstand me; I'm explaining things as they are, not as they should be. You're explaining how you think things should be.
They'll use the Supreme Court case you're mentioning which held that as long as there was an expiration of the copyright in the new statute that congress could extend it because it is still for a "limited time."
The problem is they're programmed to be dead right. The thing about being dead right in traffic; you're still dead.

You have to get the document to find it. The side agreements aren't public, now are they?
They didn't try; they succeeded. That was the change meant to be found and fixed. Now after its ratified you get to find the changes that weren't meant to be found but are far more odious.

Okay, now put his face on the Turing Award website

Its been done, and it doesn't even have to be in the security checkpoint line.
Which also is a major contributing factor to a certain airline suicide crash in Europe.

In that time frame Walmart entered the Grocery retain business. Their Revenue is $486B but their margins dropped drastically.

Rules say has to be "Mainly Water" and nothing "that might harm the environment"
I wonder if you have to charge it with air, or if you can charge it with hydrogen or helium gas to pressurize it?
Seems the team in the fine article did as well. Carbon Fiber is not ductile plastic.
