Airlines hire their pilots, train companies hire their conductors, etc.
But Uber claims that their drivers are not employees, but rather independent contractors. If this is the case, then there is price-fixing.
Actually, "counterfeit medicine" is a euphemism for "generic drugs", i.e. drugs that have been manufactured and sold without paying the patent owners anything.
Some drugs (especially for various types of cancer) cost more than $100,000 per treatment and some third-world countries produce their own local "generic" version of the drug, since they can't afford paying that much for saving just one life. The production costs for a drug sold for a six-figure sum are typically under $100.
The "big pharma" try to prevent poor consumers from first-world countries from traveling to third-world countries and buy these drugs, this is all there is to it.
There's no global shortage of fresh water. There are huge untapped lakes and rivers.
There are water shortages in some places where we need it for agriculture or human consumption.
Oregon has a low population density, so I doubt they have any water shortages.
Actually, the article does have a mistake: The Gran Sasso Mountains (where the Italian laboratory of Gran Sasso is located) are part of the Apennines, not the Alps, like the article says.
Actually, it seems that apples are a bit older:
"The genera of Maloid Rosaceae radiated an estimated 48-50 million years ago (Campbell et al. 2007)" (Source)
They entered the Chinese market in 2006, and, in less than four years, they reached to have 26% of the Chinese market, which, you should remember, is bigger (in numbers) than the US market.
I don't think it's fair to say they were beaten by Baidu.
The notability is put in there so that Wikipedia wouldn't get filled with crap made up by bored teenagers during the school break.
The notability bar is not that that even high. Basically, there must be some third-party publication ("reliable reference", so preferably a professional, a journalist or something) to talk about that subject. Every claim should, theoretically, be supported by a third-party.
Most people who complain about the impossibly high notability are spammers or people who created articles about themselves or their own activities. I agree there are instances when relatively notable articles get deleted, but that happens because the creator of the article doesn't care enough to bring sources.
The people live longer, so the average age is increasing and with the age, so do the chances of getting cancer.
Statistics for each age group remained constant.
At 32 km (107,000 feet), the atmosphere is practically inexistent (the air pressure is less than 1% of the one at sea level), but the gravity is 99% of the one at sea level.
I already voted with a few sockpuppets and I'm trying to remember the passwords for the rest of my accounts. Surprisingly, it worked to use the same IP address. (note that you need accounts with 25 edits prior to the beginning of the vote)
In addition to genetic factors, there's also stress, unhealthy food, chemicals, pollution which may lead to baldness. On the other hand, such things do not lead to homosexuality.
I remember that a few hours after the attack, CNN had a plain-text main page.
That's the only solution in case of disaster: currently, the CNN main page has 18181 bytes and a further 689153 bytes of inline elements (images,js, css, etc).

You are not pay only the actual cost of building the house, you must pay for the 200-feet yacht that the one-percenters get, too.
Everything that ran on Win7 will run on Win8 on x86 computers. Win8 will run on ARM chips, but only Metro app will work there.

The Nobel committee said that human rights are a requirement of a peaceful world.

A lot of corporations still use Windows XP or 2K as their standard OS.
It's the same percentage of the Afrian-Americans that voted for Clinton.

Federal laws, like all federal works, are public domain.
Works made by the state and city-level government are, however, copyrighted.
The altimeter was pressure-based, so it was not very accurate, hence the constant changes.
At 32 km (107,000 feet), the atmosphere is practically inexistent (the air pressure is less than 1% of the one at sea level), but the gravity is 99% of the one at sea level.
I'm very curious to learn which is their business plan. Could it be "pay us a gazillion dollars or we won't use our technology against the asteroid"?
An even better example is smallpox. It killed hundreds of millions of people before it was completely eradicated in 1979.

Well, in most of continental Europe, claiming that "The Holocaust didn't happen" will land you in jail for a few years, too.
The moon was born on 16 September, 1908, at least that's what google says.

No, the GPLv3 has clauses about using the code in a DRM system, the anti-patents clause has been for a long time.
I'm sure the London Stock Exchange also has someone who just left to be blamed.
