When you are under a court order to turn something over to them in its current format you better keep the old one even if you replace the drive. Until noted by the courts with a summons you are free to delete files willy nilly (until windows stops working, I guess).
It's the reproduction that is illegal, the creation of a second copy. It's far, far easier to find people who are distributing rather than recieving the content though.
In order to prevent a crime you must make the penalty equal or greater than the gain divided by the chance of getting caught. The retail value of the songs may have been $500 or so, but since everyone knows the chances of being caught are nil piracy occurs frequently.
It wasn't just a run of the mill hedge fund. Essentially the creditors believed they were really smart (and earning that sort of credibility isn't easy) so they were willing to essentially extend them as much leverage as they want. Even with the fairly loose rules in prime brokerage, I'd be surprised if anyone is offered the same size and leverage ratio as LTCM had.
This is pretty old news, it really began in the 70s. Wall St has long been one of the largest customers of big iron and they've been hiring lots of bright programmers and mathmaticians for at least 10 years (and they pay really well). Search Monster for quant some time (better yet beg borrow or steal your way onto a Bloomberg and do the same search).
A decent amout of power could be saved with much less expensive insulation and better building techniques, but you don't see people do that even when it pays off for the individual, too.
They should make friends with Isreal and obtain some of their drip technology that reduce evaporative losses substantially. Center pivots are pretty cool things though, the US uses them out west quite a bit too. Most of the reason for them is a substitute of electrical power for labor (moving other types of irrigation devices).
It depends on how you got the boulders up the mountain. If you take advantage of them already being there, it's essentially the same arguement as Geothermal (net energy deposits at the formation of the Earth) if anything else it's stored solar.

I can tell you that I never worked as hard as friends on many subjects. Sure when I found something interesting I put substantially more work and thought into it, but for most school subjects I'd pull A test grades just from memorizing a few lectures and good test taking skills (many tests until you reach college level math are written in a way that allows a taker with good logic skills to have a decent chance of deducing the correct answer simply by reading the whole test).
Having been stuck in Denver overnight while my bag was on it's way to Washington, I learned it's always a good idea to keep a change of clothes and anything necessary for looking professional the next day in your carry on. Most of the time I pack very lightly and just take a carry on for a short trip. Before you whine, it always fits under the seat in front of me--I check my roller bag if it goes.
How different is WL Gore from other intellectual property firms (not how they run their business which is unique, but their basic underlying business)? All sorts of organizational methods work when economic rents flow in unchecked by competition. Pirates used to operate their boats that way as well. Doesn't mean that it would work for say an oil tanker firm to have the crew vote on which charter to take.
Makes sense that they would want to destroy the competing loyalty units to the state, which was intended to operate as a very large family does (with each sharing resources effectivly). I didn't mean the family thrived under communism (it didn't no institution other than the party did). I meant that families operate in a manner very similarly to how most communists hope to operate most families don't charge the children rent for example and everyone pitches in on jobs even if some are more productive than others. Usually the fridge isn't sectioned off into zones of personal property rights but food in there is owned in common with all. But that doesn't work at all once the size of the group gets to be much larger than most families.
Yep, the cost was in putting up the poles (the cost to deliver power down them once constructed is minimal). I've always paid more for distribution than the cost of the actual power. (Power's usually 2c of my usually 6-11 bills).
It's not so much the corporate charters, as the ambivolence of most shareholders of their holdings. Most mutual fund holders have no idea what companies they hold and as a result don't even realize that they (collectivly) could have substantial influence on management. Happily in a market based society, everything usually works like a pendulum so you'll likely see an era similar to the 1980s where corporate raiders send poor management teams packing. Ironic that the bad boys of the 80s were usually doing good things.
The approving of management's proposals sounds an awful lot like what stockholders of privately held companies do too. Communism is great, if (and only if) all the members have a strong sense of loyalty to the unit. Families, some religious organizations, and a few small corporations operate very successfully in a communistic environment. Scaling it up to anything larger usually results in chaos and loss.
Open source works mostly because the distribution costs are very low relative to the initial costs of creating software. Very few other industries work that way (power generation and distribution are one).
That seems to fit with most of the processes of the human body if you use something more it toughens and becomes more efficient (while age deteriorates both overall efficiency and the rate of efficiency increase) it generally doesn't push the latter into the negative levels.
Well you see the internet is this series of tubes, filled with little dancing hampsters who pass packets of data over to a dump truck and when the dumptruck gets full the whole thing crashes until it's dumped. The dump truck is called "core" for some reason, thus creating the term core.
For all senate interns reading this, I'd be happy to show you the cute little hampsters dancing. Just send your phone number. Perhaps we could get your boss in for a great PR shoot!
That's too funny the part that I sucked at wasn't supposed to be in the game. I really enjoyed the later parts (that I'd played at a friends house.
MGS was a blast and was what really sucked me into the game in the first place. Never played Snake's Revenge and am now glad I didn't.
I got a used copy with no instructions tips or anything. It took me forever to get past that screen. You had to run beside the truck into the gate (I think it was easiest if you iced the dogs before the truck got on the screen). It's been a very long time. All I really remember was running around in the forest smoking the cigs.
Wow, I was under the impression that real estate prices there were some of the highest in Europe (similar to London). While it could put you in a home, $600/mo for a $200,000 loan probably isn't paying down any principle (you might as well rent). Thanks for the info from street level.
In Amsterdam? It was my understanding that while rent might be cheap home prices were very expensive there (something to do with your a home being a better tax shelter there). A $600 mortgage would only buy a $120,000 home which sounds very low for anywhere in any major cities in North America or Western Europe.
There are some rent controlled buildings in both NYC and San Francisco but unless you know someone, I'm not sure how easy they are to get a unit in them. They tend to attract permanant rentors who rarely leave.

Try $5-$10 for manufacture, retail, and distribution. The publisher still makes something on those bargain bin games.

Yep and then you get to fill up your bottle of the combined mystery goop. It's soylant yellow!
