I don't understand the "communication" issue. Email, telephone, and web conferencing are OS agnostic. You need to handle Word, Excel, Visio, and probably MS Project documents though.
Our tax laws are designed around a wage earning husband supporting a stay-at-home wife. There are advantages to society in having children raised in a stable two parent family, and in my experience it is also beneficial to have the mother there raising the children rather than shuttling them around to various proxies. Of course that doesn't mean a homosexual couple shouldn't have the same tax breaks when it comes to raising children.
Unfortunately there's no good way to define practicing versus non-practicing. Is a law firm that employs some pimply-faced script kiddie who writes phone apps now a practicing entity? I think the real solution is to eliminate software and business process patents, they're like an architect patenting the idea of putting a window in an office at a specific location. Big deal.
It's obvious this is home versus work usage. What's interesting is the Firefox doesn't show the same peaks and valleys as Chrome, IE and Safari. Maybe it's already used more in corporate computers? That's certainly the case where I work.
That's the unknown part, but one thing we do know is that Zimmerman got out of his car and followed Martin on foot for some distance before the 911 operator told him he didn't need to. Somehow both men ended up back at Zimmerman's car where the altercation took place. It's not clear how or why Martin was there but it sure sounds like he went after Zimmerman.
Not likely. In order to separate the zinc from the oxygen it has to be heated to something like 3000 degrees F. This whole operation is being called "green" because they speculate solar energy can be used as the heat source; but you're not going to harness that much heat from a backyard solar or wind collector. It's an interesting way to separate water molecules, but tossing in that heat source is more politics that science.
Businesses get tax breaks for producing their product. You can be sure that producers of "Green" energy get plenty of tax breaks. The difference is that oil is profitable so the tax breaks are just that, tax breaks.
While I agree that many of the special breaks oil companies get should be stopped, there's a big difference between taxing profits and subsidizing construction above and beyond the usual depreciation all businesses get.
And of course all that money going to protect oil production in places like Afghanistan and South Korea is clearly a subsidy.
The VAST majority of the gaming market depends on being able to play a game and then turn it in to lessen the cost of the next game, specially when you can run through the majority of the games on the market in under, what? -- 20 hours per game?
Very good point. Perhaps the best strategy would be for the game makers to DROP the price to where $new - $used is today. Maybe $20 instead of $75 would be far more profitable. Then people wouldn't fret about not being able to sell used games.
The more likely aspect is to load the court with more members that are pawns; the president has used that threat before.
Which is why an appointee has to be approved by the Senate. And getting pawns appointed is very difficult even when the President's party has a super majority (as we have seen recently). Just adding more justices is not an option, FDR tried that and got slapped down.
It seems the surgeons were wrong in their claim — the Da Vinci surgical system, which also operates in 3D, has existed for at least 10 years. Maybe the UK surgeons are talking about a different kind of 3D
Apparently "innovation in a country with socialized medicine" means reinventing a wheel that was approved by the FDA in the US ten years ago.
You think it's absurd to ask if our system of education is effective? Okay.
Botched election? If it was botched the Supreme Court would've thrown it out. Oh wait, our resident constitutional scholar says they don't have the authority to make decisions since they weren't elected. Speaking of idiots.
Find me any public speaker who doesn't stumble on a line occasionally.

Of course that's not what he actually said, but why be honest? The speech he was reading was poorly worded, he was supposed to say: "The question to ask is 'Are our children learning?'". But he muffed the delivery of the rhetorical question.
The difference isn't whether you have the facts. The difference is whether you need to look up the calorie content of a serving of popcorn versus requiring the vendor of popcorn to post the calorie content. If you care you could probably get a pretty good idea with about 10 seconds of searching. Nothing prevents you from getting the facts.
President Obama’s chief health adviser, thought the requirement was unnecessary and would probably be lampooned on Fox News...
They're afraid of what Fox and Limbaugh will say? Actually this is a valid concern; would a person who went up to the snack bar in a theater really be influenced to not buy a box because a sign says it contains 300 calories? Maybe there are more important things for the FDA to do.
Yes, through differential equations and a couple of semesters of statistics and logic.
If you can ascribe the difference to other means, then piracy hasn't had an effect.
But he never showed that. What he showed is that total revenue has dropped from $14.6b to $6.8b, and that there are now 3 tracks sold per lost album sale. That seems to show that 2010 spending has shifted from albums to single tracks, but what 2010 total sales would be without piracy is unknown. Could be $6.8b, could be $14.6b, could be somewhere in between.
"They" are not one big entity; there are multiple telcos competing for customers. The carriers have to support new phones as they are brought to market by Apple, Samsung, etc. whether they want to or not.

Probably assumed ethanol production will consume a lot of grain to replace expensive oil. Bad assumption if that's what it is.

He chose to go after this kid

Sounds like they did think of them, as a main course.

A great new game. It sends out updates all day long "Yahoo just sued Facebook"..."Facebook just sued Yahoo"..."Apple just sued itself"...
If a judge (or group of judges in appeal or supreme courts) thinks the law says ABC, then he should rule ABC
Nope. If the law should never have been passed in the first place the court should strike it down. Checks and balances, you can look it up.

Japanese fishing trawlers? Search and Rescue is probably the most obvious. Pirates also come to mind.

They were discovered by Italian astronauts, who are also known as specimens
why are they...
"They" are not one big entity; there are multiple telcos competing for customers. The carriers have to support new phones as they are brought to market by Apple, Samsung, etc. whether they want to or not.
So why should operators want to increase capacity and drive demand down and therefore prices?
WTF? He's mixed supply and demand throughout the blog entry, the entire thing makes no sense.
