I don't remember the exact details, but I recall that if you define say 20 parameters for measuring an object, there is a high probability that one of the parameters will be several sigma removed from the mean. So if you take a brain you already know is Einstein's, you can eventually find a property of that brain which is far from average. Does that mean he was a genius because of that property? Probably not.
Really? Artificial wombs, FFS? Look around you, Dr. Fertility. The natural wombs are pumping out product at a terrifyingly prodigious rate with no help from you. Maybe you can work on some other organ that we maybe need to stay alive or something?
1. Why didn't Samsung's lawyers know every detail about every potential juror? Is that not allowed in this court? Did each side not get to ask questions of each potential juror?
2. How much of the jury's actions are protected and how much are not?
3. Are Apple's lawyers required to share everything they find out about the case in their own digging with the opposition?
The situation is not that simple. Google water rights in the Walker River and Tahoe basins. You have claims on the water by several parties, not to mention the specter of a very thirsty Las Vegas keeping an eye on the upstate water.
According to the Argonne National Laboratory, it takes two barrels of water to produce one barrel of oil shale liquid. A lot of the shale rock is out where water is already being fought over between farmers, cities, and Native Americans.
I seem to recall any criticism of Bush met with "Love it or leave it". Now that the tables have turned, we see what little pussies these rednecks really are. Like middle school bullies who can't take a punch without going bawling to the principal.
One wonders if it is possible to draw the conclusion that the because his model was so accurate then the majority of voter suppression efforts must have been ineffective?
In a close election such as most of the last few have been, you don't need a lot of voter suppression to win - you just need a tad in the right places.
And yet, if everyone respect the spirit of the law instead of finding holes in the letter of it....
If a corporation chooses not to take advantage of a legal way to increase its profits, then it leaves itself open to legal action by shareholders. The corporation has a fiduciary responsibility to find the holes.
There's no such thing as the spirit of a law. There is only the words which define the law.
It's been nine months since that incident, I did not hire his Jesus bud, and no ill will has come of that.
Not two months ago I was selected for a raise as well.
This might be hard for some to grasp, but what I said was true, it does not at all matter if the person is religious, what matters is how they act and what they do.
I still stand firmly by that.
You were lucky and found an outlier. I would not encourage others to follow your example.
Recently I spoke with him about hiring another person for my department. He took my requirements list and went to make a posting on a job site.
The next day he came back with a resume, saying this was a friend from church he's known for some time who he wanted me to consider.
This was the first time religion was ever discussed between us, and then it was only to state flat out that I shouldn't base my hiring decisions on the fact this is his friend, or that he is from his church. I should base it on nothing but his qualifications just as with any other resume sent in.
Yeah, sure - here's a tip. Get your own resume in order if you don't hire his Jesus bud.
I often see this same thought, that we have to blow up this corrupt system and start afresh. But the new system would be build by those with money and therefore power and will contain few if any of the features - designed to help the system be righted by the people - which the designers of the current system codified.
Will the new system have checks and balances? Will the new system let anyone access a court system with their grievance? Will the new system guarantee freedom of speech, etc.?
Really - you want to discard a system designed by Adams and Jefferson and their peers for one designed by the Koch brothers and theirs?

Minnesota allows you to do this. And we have winter and wolves. What could be more fun than wolf hunting in the snow?
Making the wolves write your name in the snow at gunpoint.
We know it can happen. Rome fell, Greece fell, Angkor Wat fell, Easter Island collapsed. Societies die just like we do.
It would be a shame to lose all of the knowledge, art, and literature that we have accumulated during our tenure so far.

We need some real answers, not AC speculation.

Wasn't that blind girl Anne Frank from Swaziland?

"I'm moving to Australia, because their president is a Christian and actually supports what he says."
"And it's right next door to Switzerland."
Why didn't Samsung know? You could ask the same question too Apple and then the follow up question, if Apple knew, why didn't they say anything?
Maybe Apple's lawyers knew and thought the fact favored their case. They have no responsibility to do the other side's job.
With billions at stake, why didn't Samsung's lawyers know the background of every potential juror down to the name of their first cat?

Did he just say they were trying to introduce "market dynamics" by artificially tinkering with tuitions?
Now does anyone have data on whether the forecasting of a win discourages the supporters or opponents of the projected winner from actually voting?
Are you sure Nokia and Samsung are doing (unreasonable) tax avoidance? I have not heard that accusation before.
Define unreasonable.

Coppedge said. "Imagine if employees were told, stop pushing your gay agenda or stop pushing your feminist agenda, your civil rights agenda,
OK - and my imagination said they would be fired as well if they were being assholes about it.

Say farewell forever to even the concept of posse comitatus, limited as it was. Now it is just a Latin phrase you never heard of.
