So we should never elect politician who have had jobs outside of politics?
That is just plain stupid. We require that people diverse themselves of a company or interest in a company so that they don't benifit from thier actions and thier is not an appearance of doing something wrong. That has already been done but both President Bush and VP Cheney. As for the stock option don't comment on something you don't know about, read how stock options work and then read how he has made it so that we will not profit on any benifits that haliburton made since he has left.
It is not like they kick out everyone from a government office, and appointed thier own people who gave them kickbacks.
As for Haliburton, they are a huge company(look them up they are public, you can actualy own a part of them) and a recognized leader in the contracts they have won. Some part of them has been winning government contracts since World War II.
BTW the company I work for is in direct competion with haliburton for some of theses contracts, and I am smart enough to know that they will win a good portion of thoses because they are recognized as a world leader, they do a good job, and they are competative in thier costs.
The problem with fining him for delivered messages, is that NTT DoCoMo is not injured in that case the person who received the message had to pay. So the person injured in this case is the person who received the message and had to 1.2 yen for the message.
Now unless you have something like the USA fax law, you are probably would have hard time winning(IANAL). Also for your own sake it would take a large amount of messages before it would profitable to collect athat 1.2yen for each message.
Theses positions always filled with people with name recognition, and other members of the same business community. I would not be surprised to find people who filled it for both Sun and Microsoft. It is pure name dropping reasons.
From my law classes, IANAL but management masters degree require law classes, in most states you cannot use criminal or civil law when you were both commiting illegal acts, as in the cutting the cocaine. Or I paid him for the drugs and he did not deliver.
Now if the cocaine was cut with cyanide you get into another level where the state is bring the criminal case against the person.
As for the cable cable for all purposes this is a legal item just used illegally, excluding any DCMA things. So I would guess you could get them for false advertising. However you would have a hard time going against the laugh factor, and the only way you could say it did not work all the ways stated and implied is by admitting that you did attempt to use a legal item for a supposed illegal activity. But I guess you could attempt to get past that by saying that since the box records the information and the cable company knows the location of the box and can stop transmittion to it you were never stealing anything, but then that just says you were stupid for purchasing something you knew would never work.
It was back a few years ago when Alta Vista came up fast, had a better search, and had more pages parsed.
The fact is Google is the current boss because it is fast and gets you to want you want. If they were to become ad loaded pages, people would be switching to the next best thing.
Same way as kleenex,xerox and hormel(spam) have done.
All done for the reasons that want to keep the word for business use and don't want thier competitors to be able to use thier brand name as something else.
In the case you mentioned they had/have Google down as a synonym for search, a verb which cannot be protected. If Google did not protect their name they would have no more rights to use the word then Yahoo, or alta vista would to use the word.
IIRC, they finally solved the problem by mentioning that Google was a protected word of the Google corporation.
Thier was a similar one to this back with the Amiga. Thier were people using various variable names and making references to variables names and function that were in the chips and O/S. This lead to claims that people who had access various properitary code had released it, then it came out that all this was in a published book that anyone on the street could get.
If you are looking for a good book about real pirates and their lifestyle. Get 'The pirate hunter: The true story about Captain Kidd' great read, and interesting to boot.
A small problem, in some of thoses comparisons the microsoft sold version was released first.
Then in others microsoft is just used as the distributer, and does not own the company that wrote the game.
Thier are numerious games being developed by small or independent developers, that self sell. Look in the area of stategy turn-based war games and text adventures for alot of them.
As alot of big name game are actually produced by small independant companies, they just use a big name company for production and distribution. For example look at Galactic Civilizations,Black and White, or Rise of Nations all developed by small companies.
The one thing I would agree with is the lack of new/original things, but that happens in everything. People are going to write stuff that they think will sell, good luck trying to find a murder/mystery written totally in poetry form.
In addition once you get big name enough to do what you want, you are generally going to write software in the same. The origins of The Sims, mentioned as original, can be seen if you look back at previous Will Wright games. What would be original is if Will Wright came out with a FPS shooter based in his genre of games.
Well the criminals already know about the system. For a while they stopped using any form of cell phones and went with human messangers.
Even with this gut they reported that he was using 10+ different phones, purchased from Switzerland.
If someone had not thought that living in the UK with 17 million British Pounds was not a better lifestyle they would not of caught him.
As for why, I doubt that it was any government official that said it was the Echelon system that was used. The government said they caught him using his phones, and the reported figured based on that information that Echelon was the system used.
As for who was in charge it looks like the US got intellegice and location and provided that to the Pakistani governement who got the guy then turned him over to the US government. Personnally I think that the UK government was involed because the guy decided to relocate thier and they had no problem with him doing so. Of course with the money he has to invest most countried would welcome him.
"In a similar vein, it was never explained how Colin Powell had a transcript of Bin Laden's last taped message, before the al-Jazeera station even had the tape."
Mr. Powell had the tape before it was broadcast. Al-Jazeera gave the tape to thier local government who provided a copy to the US government.
Yep, soft drinks are a huge money maker for food places.
You can usally get the dispensers for free or a cheap price, and then purchasing large quantities of syrup and CO2 is relativly cheap. For my parents stores we paid more for the cup and lid then the soda.
That is one of the nice things about the "combo meals" you get a huge increase of the number of people who were not purchasing sodas or who where purchasing smaller sizes, So you do the combos with the large drink but give no discount(some places give a small discount, most don't check the next time at a fast food joint) and is a really nice increase in the money flow.
Havn't never seen any of the console on a HDTV I am wondering.
Is it a problem with the quality of the graphics stored on the disc, or is it a problem because of the video card used?
If it is a video card problem, then I presume they could come out with a high-def version of the PS2 that would be fully compatable.
IANAL, however reading some reading on the net and based on my own experience, the unpaid spots tend to boil down to the following:
Unpaid intern, but you are working for a volunteer non-profit organization so you are a just another volunteer.
Unpaid student, the company goes through a school or offers positions people only to thoses enrolled in an approprieate school.
Beyond that they are probably breaking the law, if they are not paying some amount.
Except in this current age something too good to be true could be true.
A vehicle that gives off water as its waste product. true
Food that can sit of the self for years, you then mix some water with it and it heats up 80 degress C. true
Even with the mention Cold Fusion claim, a university in Texas said they had duplicated it.
Moo3 reviews have been rather mixed, some like, some say it needs another 2+ months of development for AI, tweaking so stuff etc.
So far everyone agrees that you can expect to play 5-10 hours before you will understand the game.
If between the two I would go with MOO3 as it currently is for multiplayer play, and wait to see what happens to GalCiv for single player play.

Been tried unfortunatly it just didn't work.
Will not happen since the DVD release is just a few weeks away.
The thing to see is if the they play up the release of the DVD any.
Well except for the last item all of thoses are features for Star Wars Galaxies.

Not sure which is funnier; the original message or that people would mark it up as informative.
