Carnegie died on August 11, 1919, in Lenox, Massachusetts of bronchial pneumonia. He had already given away $350,695,653 (approximately $4.3 billion, adjusted to 2005 figures) of his wealth.[27] At his death, his last $30,000,000 was given to foundations, charities, and to pensioners
Rockefeller's fourth main philanthropy, the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial Foundation, was created in 1918.[80] Through this, he supported work in the social studies; this was later absorbed into the Rockefeller Foundation. In total Rockefeller donated about $550 million.
Currently, there's a $7,500 tax credit for buying one, which Obama wants to bump to $10,000. The average income of a volt buyer is $170,000, higher than any other line (except mercedes at $174,000)
The thing about drunk driving is, it's based not on whether you can safely drive but an arbitrary blood alcohol level. Some people drive better with a quart of booze in them, some people are terrible drivers all by themselves. If you're a dangerous driver, you're a dangerous driver and it doesn't matter to me (or whoever you kill) if it's because you're drunk, tired, texting, or chinese.
In foreign countries, I have seen breathalyzers in bars -- put in a quarter, get your reading. It's right next to the condom machine. I've never seen one in the US, probably fear of lawsuits if it's wrong and people trying to see who can get the drunkest.
Anyhow, the story said the law mandates breathalyzers as part of a car safety kit that you're required to have (and should already have), so it's not just a drunk driving thing.
Nope, he wrote his paper and declared it feature complete and bug free. Which means he ignores any bug reports and others have taken over and tried to fix his mistakes. Why not just use fetch mail?
Intel doesn't want you to spend hundreds of dollars on office software, they want you to spend hundreds of dollars on new processors because your FREE software is slow as fuck and requires new hardware.
There was also V-Mail (WWII)/Airgraphs (1930s) which involved taking a picture of a letters, sending just the film, then reprinting on the other end of the ocean. Wikipedia claims this was also used in the Franco-Prussian war (1870s) with carrier pigeons sending microfilm.
The 1976 copyright laws were in place at the time which did not require registration. However, the 1976 Copyright Act did not include copyright protection for computer software. In August, 1983 (Apple Computer vs Franklin), computer software was declared eligible for copyright protection.
Just as bad, he claims everything afterwards is EMAIL (uppercase -- his copyrighted program) despite having nothing to do his system. It is impressive that he wrote an email system at ages 13-16, but as far as the history and timeline of email, it's a footnote for the EMAIL copyright.
The first GUI email claim seems a little questionable to me. The Xerox Alto (1973) had a GUI, WYSIWYG, mice, ethernet, and email (Laurel and Hardy). I can't find a date reference for Laurel and Hardy, but Steve Jobs visited them in December of 1979 and later said:
And they showed me really three things. But I was so blinded by the first one I didn't even really see the other two. One of the things they showed me was object orienting programming they showed me that but I didn't even see that. The other one they showed me was a networked computer system...they had over a hundred Alto computers all networked using email etc., etc., I didn't even see that. I was so blinded by the first thing they showed me which was the graphical user interface. I thought it was the best thing I'd ever seen in my life. Now remember it was very flawed, what we saw was incomplete, they'd done a bunch of things wrong. But we didn't know that at the time but still though they had the germ of the idea was there and they'd done it very well and within you know ten minutes it was obvious to me that all computers would work like this some day.
Consider an in-state flight. Do you remember airline deregulation? Probably not, but prior to 1978, the federal government regulated domestic intra-state flights (setting fare prices, routes, and disallowing new airlines). They did not regulate in-state flights (though states did).
SQL = Structured Query Language. NoSQL = key/value stores. With SQL, you have a query, the database parses, plans, and executes it. With NoSQL, you have a key (string, number, etc). The database hashes it and finds the previously stored value.
It's dbm or perl tied hashes, updated for the cloud.
Given the shitty performance of, well, all of Adobe's software, I don't want their programmers anywhere near WebKit. "I come to bury HTML5, not to praise it."
That's not true once you get to a certain size. If your company considers IT and storage to be a cost, then yes, a third party (where storage is their revenue source) will do it better. If your company considers IT and storage to be an investment, then they can do it just as good (if not better) than a third party.
Oracle could have filed lawsuits against the manufacturers on day 1. Example: Microsoft, which gets royalty payments from Samsung, HTC, LG, etc but hasn't gone after Google (except indirectly via Motorola).
It would probably be easier to hit the manufacturers directly since blocking imports isn't good for revenue. That's a pretty strong incentive to license up.

Andrew Carnegie?
John D. Rockefeller?
True. GM suspended production. Consumers suspending buying.

In that case, it should be "Douchebag Dodd."

Brazilians use Orkut, Chinese use Google+. Good for them, but great for everybody else -- we just continue not using Orkut or Google+.
Preferred shares. MLPs. REITs.
Option 5: buy a stock with a dividend stream. Stock goes up, you get paid. Stock goes down, you get paid.

This isn't a DRM problem, it's an upgrade removed previous functionality problem.

your appeal to authority is negated by usage of Facebook.
Don't forget the road apples. Even the most hardcore, anti-car, enviro-whacko ought to be glad that our streets aren't 3 feet thick with horse shit.
I suggest it look like a used butt plug.
