We all got our return up front. They did more with it, by knowing how to use the system/infrastructure, and that's a good thing not just for them but also for the people they can employ. So, stop making it sound like any jackass could do it, because that's clearly not the case.
Reminds me of ~2000 when I worked a project that was overdue, and our PM came in and handed each engineering team lead a binder with cost information. She was expecting us to manage our teams financials. I spoke up, saying we all went to engineering school, and wouldn't it be less expensive to pay a business analyst to track all of us. The famous quote from our CEO was "Cash is king". We evolved from a fun engineering company to one that worried about quarterly results.
Okay, I've gotta ask. I've been seeing Captcha stuff from you and wondering why? And why anyone would give a shit about them, yet you post them all the time. Do you find it interesting, or funny? Am I missing something?
It's not the first time Gates laid an egg, or got some on his face. If he wasn't so cooped up and henpecked, maybe him and Buffet could figure out a better plan...birds of a feather and all that.
You seem to have a reading comprehension problem. I never said I lived in Ontario, though some of my family does, and I've spent a significant amount of time there. I also never said higher speeds couldn't be an issue for wind turbines, but the claim of 35-50km/h is utter bullshit.
Well let's see, depending on the site they can stop producing power here between 35-50km/h, how often do that happen?
I'm not an expert, but knew immediately your numbers were bullshit...
Wikipedia entry... A wind turbine is designed to produce power over a range of wind speeds. All wind turbines are designed for a maximum wind speed, called the survival speed, above which they will be damaged. The survival speed of commercial wind turbines is in the range of 40 m/s (144 km/h, 89 MPH) to 72 m/s (259 km/h, 161 MPH). The most common survival speed is 60 m/s (216 km/h, 134 MPH).
Who has jurisdiction over a company with a presence in their country? Well, quite simply if it's a company in the U.S., then the U.S. can easily prosecute, as could any other country with a presence. It's NOT rocket science. The U.S. already does this with regards to U.S. based companies dealings outside of the U.S. Simple example, it's illegal for a U.S. based company to be involved in bribing foreign officials in other countries, even if it's not illegal within that country. As for Martian courts, that's a long way down the road.
If the chimp population is in any danger or if the chances of the mission being a catastrophic failure are too high, you could send a bunch of niggers instead.
Did they sign contracts? What court would uphold a contract such as that? How many additional volunteers for Mars would sign up after the shitstorm hit the media?
You are getting carried away judging some one you don't know for no reason...
No, you're getting carried away, making assumptions about my opinions. I chose to use the words "alleged", and "reports", and "red flags", and "TBD" for the very reason that it hasn't yet been determined if he was mentally ill or not. These are ONLY indicators that someone should have, or still should investigate the accuracy of those...they're clues, not conclusions.
I'm all for background checks, and some sensible gun control (even required training and licensing). But the argument about watch lists is that some bureaucrat can put anybody on a watch list, and they have no recourse, no trial, and would be stripped of their rights. I've had coworkers with middle eastern names put on no-fly lists, simply because their names matched those of people who actually should have been on them, but those coworkers held security clearances. The U.S. government has been incompetent in this and many so other areas. So, how much can I trust them to get this right?
You don't have to be dangerous to be mentally ill.
Reports have alleged that he beat his former wife. And, coworkers indicated that he wouldn't even acknowledge a hello from them. Just a couple of red flags that mental illness may have played a role, but that's TBD from what I've read so far.

Creatively speaking. Old people should get off the internet. NOW!
Creatively speaking, you can kiss my ass, and get the hell off my lawn. NOW!
Not disagreeing, but how would that eliminate greed? I'm fine with launching everyone from the same starting gate, but would greed disappear?

I don't think he said what you think he said. In fact, it appears that you're the one with the jerked knee.
You really want to pick at this for some stupid reason.

My neighbor pollinates her garden by hand (actually I think a qtip). Doesn't take very long and is effective.
QTips were on the third fleet.
You underestimate the interest in ancestry.
I'm not a scfi fan, I'm an electrical engineer who loves code so not completely useless :). Can't argue the delusions bit though.
Code can be written remotely, and by less expensive drones than you.

Ah, so you're a volunteer then.

The terrorist was an American citizen. Therefore, domestic terrorism.
Is it really when he pledged allegiance to ISIS?

So, are you arguing that Obama, Hillary and Trump are all mentally ill? They all mentioned that they're praying.

You don't exhale or pass gas?
Yur know goud two.
Which means you know exactly nothing...as if you even have half.
You do know that seven states don't allow write-in candidates? So much for civics.
