The only reason my buddy has custody now is that she turned over custody when she moved in with her "boyfriend" a year later, because the boyfriend didn't want to have kids in his house.
Wow. Anyone who would give up custody of her child because her boyfriend didn't like children doesn't deserve to be a mother. I'm glad the kid is in better hands now.
Ah yes, few things are more sincere than a forced apology, doubly so when it is a court that has mandated the apology. That's crazy, these people aren't children.
The story is missing (slashdotted?), so I can't read exactly what he said, but I can't imagine he could say anything jailworthy. What probably got him jailed was something he said to the judge, they've got a lot of leeway about when to apply Contempt of Court.
It's important because this should make you reconsider flying on American Airlines.They were the ones who disrupted the family's trip in this case (Luckily they were on their way OUT of the country. I'd hate to see the same thing happen to someone trying to come back in).
But the American Airlines official was reacting to the general fears that the TSA and the Federal Government have been instilling in us the past 10 years, so I wouldn't call them without blame
At least for the Novell lawsuit, they paid the lawyers a lump sum and go them to agree to continue with the case through all appeals without further pay. I don't remember whether that agreement applied to the IBM lawsuit as well.
And that $1.5 million is their TOTAL assets. They sold off everything but their rights to continue the lawsuit with IBM. There's nothing left to public domain.
Now that SCO has spent all its money and sold off all its assets for peanuts, now it can proceed with lawsuits where it will be found liable for additional money. All still safely behind the shield of bankruptcy court of course (A court which thinks selling off all assets and giving the finger to creditors is a plausible way to restructure a business)
Just like undersea drilling doesn't necessarily lead to massive oil spills in the gulf, but it's still something we should expect to happen and know what to do when it does.
I feel bad wasting a cashier's time for such a small sale.
The Home Despot has their screws and bolts sold in baggies of 4, so the minimum price is a little higher, but I still prefer to go through their auto-checkout for that sort of sale
That's still 4 coins though. And I have the vague impression that you end up with more quarter than dimes if you never spend your coins (can't say for sure)
At one point there was a bridge nearby that had a toll of $4, so we had the same problem of needing 4 bills, or to wait to get change. They've raised the toll to $5 now, but I'm using EZ-Pass now so get to drive through without messing with cash.
I bet we could do an experiment and prove that the penny is worth considerably less than the 1 cent printed on it. How many pennies do you have to give to someone to get them to trade a dollar for it? A quarter?
If you don't think little you always think logically about things like that, you're fooling yourself.
I've set my alarm clock ahead at various points in my life, because I know I'm bad at doing the necessary math in the morning. And the later time does tend to shock me awake a little better
I do find myself seeing $14.99 and thinking "14 dollars" not "15 dollars" sometimes. I can't say that it's ever tipped the balance and made a sale or not, but maybe it has
Even with even sales tax rates (5%) almost every sale results in fractional cents that need to be rounded. And there are many places with fractional tax rates (8.375%).
Checkout software can be modified to round to nearest 5 or 10 cents rather than the current standard of rounding to 1 cent. (Would we round Credit transactions to 5 cents? I don't know)
The farmers planted a product with known seed propagation properties. It's THEIR fault if they planted it close enough to their borders that seeds spread to other farms.
Why? Monsanto didn't contaminate any fields. Supposedly these farmers' neighbors bought some Monsanto seed and carelessly contaminated their fields with it.
Why would you Like something on Facebook if you didn't want people to know you liked it? This is like complaining that when you make a comment on a Friend's wall, Facebook shows that comment to your friend.
But the lead plaintiff spent $1000, apparently. That's a lot of fake clothes. I wonder what the numbers are like if you ignore all the users who didn't spend anything.
Don't really have anything against them requiring "improved security practices". As long as those practices aren't needlessly and pointlessly expensive and complicated. And as long as those "improved security practices" don't include providing a backdoor to the DHS.
So, what we can expect to be actually implemented in this bill is probably a bad idea.

Then we can introduce a one dollar coin that is easily distinguishable in size and/or shape from the quarter.
A vote we do one with a hole in it, so we can string them on a cord and wear them around our necks

The whole court is a fiasco and Monsanto calls the shots the Judges in the cases could care less what the defendant has to say.
I think you mean the Judges COULDN'T care less.
The farmers planted a product with known seed propagation properties. It's THEIR fault if they planted it close enough to their borders that seeds spread to other farms.
So? Organic does not and has never meant "healthy"
Why? Monsanto didn't contaminate any fields. Supposedly these farmers' neighbors bought some Monsanto seed and carelessly contaminated their fields with it.
Is that like Pi is defined as 3 in some states?

Why does that matter? The company isn't public yet, so finding out news a day early doesn't help anyone.
Which would be important if there were any laws being broken, but there aren't.
I assumed management knew what they were doing and approved all the copying. Do we really need leaked memos to prove it?
This is like "Leaked memo from BizCo CEO: We should make money!"
Nothing surprising here. Nothing incriminating
Not EVERYONE else. Morgan Stanley, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan and Barclay's Capital are all also going to make a bundle.
"no one of them no longer lives in Sweden"
So they do all still live in Sweden?
