Easy solution shift the research to countries where the loser pays in court. It doesn't even have to be the actual research just the fiscal headquarters of the research. Nothing like loser pays to really quieten down patent trolls.
Having worked from home it does mean you can do a lot of other things. Like taking two hours off for lunch cooking a good meal and sitting down afterwards.
Of course work starts as soon as you wake up and put on a pair of shorts, regaining that wasted shower and commute time, even preparing and eating breakfast becomes part of the work day. At the end of the day, well that's now up to you, no lost commute and you can get dinner started the second you stop.
All subject of course to the type of work your seeking to telecommute.
No, the reality is, they should not be able to claim to sell what they do not have to sell. If they sell you that bandwidth then they should provide it, not just a fraction of it but all of it. If they want to sell data blocks with no claims of bandwidth then sell data blocks with no claims of bandwidth.
Truth is they want to be able to continue to out market competitors with claims of higher speeds but not actually be able to provide the speeds or anything near those speeds at peak usage times, not total usage as misleadingly claimed but just peak usage, after school/work, after dinner and the start of the work day.
The other thing they really want to do is establish content distribution monopolies. They will simply lock self publishers out of the market by inflating the costs of their uploads and then double dip charging the end user for the download. So publish via the ISP or go out of business and guess who will buy up the major ISPs the MPA* and RIA* gang. Now tie in criminal penalties for children copying stuff and let the greed shine through.
It is all about the digital divide. The whole idea is to make the full basic range of software freely available, operating system, office suite, CAD, basic accounting, scheduling, email, email server, media suite, picture editing and animation. So that people all around the globe can access that software.
The hard fact is M$'s revenue is the rest of the world's cost. Eliminate the cost and the rest of the world can spend money on other things like food, clothing, housing and energy, especially struggling economies where any import costs do real harm to those people's future.
Any citizen of any place should be motivated to reduce imports in order to promote their own economy, whether state or country. Keeping those hundreds of billions of dollars at home, in your own economy driving localised free open source software support for example has a real logical benefit.
So sorry Redmond Tiny Limpers but not being in Seattle or Washington, there is no benefit in my community supporting billionaire lifestyles of M$ executives and all I see is money leaving the economy I am a part of, tough get over it.
In the end a simple appeal should be enough. The appeal the man's name must be unique. If the name is not unique then the man's own feeling his possible guilt and shame drive the reaction. A name is not a sufficient identifier on the internet and those auto complete merely reflect an automated history of searches, google is not responsible for those searches. Additionally google should have the right to know the name and to be able to publicly seek evidence of the validity of any accusations and thus be able to prove whether the person named is a fraudster or con man.
The negative traits are vanity and cowardice, vanity in attempting to look like someone you are not and cowardice in the fear of ridicule and derision. Self esteem is driven by your own inner strength, abandon that strength to the empty headed opinions of the juvenile and vain and you have real cause to fear your lack of human value.
More likely it is a random correlation. What they are looking at "the workforce is lagging in the percentage of younger workers with college degrees" is likely driven by other factors. The rising cost and dumbing down of the US college system, parents who can afford a college education does not mean their offspring will be successful (marrying pretty but stupid has a price). Some of the real dummies you see in public with college degrees is appalling.
Just like the current illogic of not so bright parents, that it's the teachers fault when their child fails (performance based pay for teachers is going to have a huge price, when teachers figure out it is profitable to victimise the not so bright students and get them kicked out of their class and or school. Dumb but pretty teachers sleeping with principles to get the smart kids in their class).
So motivated students who can do algebra II and have to pay for their education themselves are more likely to succeed. Now even smarter students will look at global pricing of a college education and immigration opportunities to best exploit their skills and avoid crippling debt with limited job opportunities and a developing 'the employee is the enemy of profits' attitudes.
Google is making a mistake. It simply needs to show a little patience. Companies that stray to far off the reservation, the android comparability reservation will soon find themselves punished by their customers and that punishment will likely doom their products for quite a long time.
Rather than tightening up and enforcing those rules, it simply needs to evaluate the comparability of products and publicly declare any problems with them. Google needs to make better use of the Android brand and the whole concept of 'android digital fusion' and for example bringing more end users to the android web site as part of that digital fusion.
So is the problem with the person or mass media and advertising. If your not young and pretty, you are shit, you are worthless, you are a born loser that should just die.
Perhaps a serious review of mass media and it's advertising methods needs to be tackled. A mass class action law suit for the psychological harm caused by destructive advertising.
Care to say it isn't true, this story in of itself is proof that it is true, the emphasis of the importance of hair on the top of the hair (whilst spending more money and advertising to promote it's removal from the face, armpits, groin and legs).
Perhaps it would be better to sue advertising for slander for implying that being bald or old or not sufficiently average looking or fat makes you less of a person, their profits your psychological loss, isn't about time they paid for those lies.
You left off boxing where of course violence is the intent in training and performance. Even professional fake wrestling needs to be addressed where violence is promoted as desirable and via toys targeted at children http://www.wwetoys.com.au/.
For the games of course it all depends how the violence is portrayed, as fun and desirable like professional wrestling or as harsh and undesirable, well like war use to be portrayed in the news until the US military cleansed it with 'in bed' journalists because it was having an impact on recruiting.
Then you have Fox not-News reporting war deaths and casualties like sports scores, whopping it up when they show a video of bombs killing people. Hey, how about a government actually promoting torture, from beating up protesters using extreme pain to force submission all whilst it's cheered on by mass media, to strapping 'innocent until proven guilty people' to boards and forcing water into their lungs to get false confessions.
I have always considered the news as the worst propagator of violence. Unfair to blame the messenger, well it all depends upon how the message is presented (with a complete lack of empathy for those suffering) and how many lies are wrapped up in it, specifically Fox not-News, should children even be allowed to watch it at all.
Actually the greed driven stupidity *by the rich and greedy) was a result of not being allowed to increase taxes in line with inflation which resulted in continuous struggles to pay for existing services (requires super majorities).
One solution recently tried was to legalised marijuana and tax it but apparently it was blocked by drug dealers, and the alcohol and tobacco industry.
The biggest inefficiency with US government at all levels is of course contracting everything to private industry no matter how much extra it costs. Corporations never provides any proof they are more efficient, they just continually scream it from every corner of mass media. Logic is private corporations can never be more efficient that government ie 15% disappears as profit, 10% disappears as inflated executive salaries(7 figure sums plus bonuses), and of course another 15% disappears as advertising (you know all that bullshit about how great they are no matter how crap they really are). So approximately forty cents of every dollar disappears before any of it actually pays for any services meant to be provided and that without those infamous corporate wet dream 'no bid contracts'
Nah, the biggest threat to open source has always be FUD 'fear, uncertainty, doubt', also known as scary bullshit, spread by closed source proprietary software companies who have achieved data lock in, all looking to protect their inflated profit margins.
Open source sofftware has been around for a long time now, been tested under fire from M$ 'it's a cancer', 'terrorists use it', 'software hackers prefer it' (that was a big fail ie it was more secure), 'it is communist', 'it is like a virus infecting everything it touches','it is too hard to use','it costs to much'(TCO B$) and, of course patent and copyright B$ up the wazoo.
In fact this kind of FUD has been pretty rare with regard to open source for quite some time, some big software supply contracts must be up for renewal and they are hoping mass media will run with the latest ohh scary open source software caimpagn.
Taser the electric whip, it has been used more often than not as a portable torture device to force obedience. All should it be considered assault to knock someone to the ground unconscious when they can take no actions to break their fall and often suffer from broken bones and skull fractures.
In this case executive golden parachutes for when the pay wall falls over. What really kills internet news subscriptions is that it locks you to one news provider because you either read theirs and ignore everyone else's or you are throwing your money away. Truth is different organisation are better at reporting different elements of news and being able to choose the best news source for individual stories, is what really drives news on the internet.
Now that is without fully functional artificial intelligence auto translation services, when that finally kicks in, locking yourself down to one new site when a world of news will be available, will just be so lame.
iPads are largely sold to people with iPods, iPhones and an apple computer of what ever description. Other tablet manufacturers attempting to break into this market are nuts, deluded and foolish.
The reality is the big winner will be the company who gets the price performance mix right on a netbook/tablet 12 inch screen (10 inch is just not enough screen real estate) and throws in a dockable smartphone to clinch the deal, with or without a phone contract.
As always apple's market is apple's market, those who have been sold on the idea that they are exceptional because they are willing to spend 20 to 50 percent more for the same made in China tech shiny.
It is nothing more that a publicity hound seeking more public attention. A failed Israeli Senate candidate (really US but he definitely demonstrates far greater loyalty to Israel) is trying to gain attention for another political run and to ensure future cash flows of billions of dollars from the US treasury to Israel.
He just got a bit confused in this instance about where the money is coming from a US company rather than the US government.
The main reason for Facebook to not take down the page, censorship is poison to social networking sites and has been directly involved in the disastrous loss of popularity of many of them. The reality is, troublesome content is better monitored and the participators depending upon their actual efforts, identified. Only extreme content should be deleted, other than that 'it's a trap' principles should apply.
The Union provides services for it's members, no one else and those members elect representatives democratically. The Unions only duties are to it's members any corruption of the Union by US corporate interests are purely that. The Unions only duty it to balance the greed of the employers against the benefits for the employees. Currently the biggest failing of US Unions is their inability to force the adoption of Fair Trade legislation to ensure imported product bears the full legislated costs of locally produced product. The idea of Unions bidding against each for work is totally abhorrent and totally against the principles of Unionism and only reflects weakness and cowardice on the part of US Unions.
Unions are a collective bargaining body whose leadership is voted for democratically (one person one vote). Those members must also consent to a part of their unions dues to be used to fund the election campaigns that will support the rights of workers. (covering a broad range of employment and conditions of employment).
Corporations are undemocratic by fact, one person does not equal one vote, in fact they are purely driven by wealth and greed, something they take pride in.
In this case you have a politician given public hints to a select group as to how his policy decision can be altered ie. nudge nudge wink wink, I could do with more money. This is even worse in a state like Wisconsin where the minimum wage is $2.33 per hour for people forced to be fawning grovellers in order to up the wage with tips that $4,846 per annum. Obviously this Republican idiot likes the idea of tips being part of his wage and is actively seeking some.
Don't be surprised if the idea originated in the US and they just got one of the overseas affiliates to try it out first to gage public reaction.
If they could get away with it they would encrypt all broadcasts and make you pay a licence fee for a decoder. First all public and community broadcasters would need to be shut down, hmm, defund NPR ring a bell.
Not voting for Republicans or Democrats is a foolish notion and one that is only promoted by Republicans and Democrats because they want you wasting your vote.
The reality is, not happy with Republicans and Democrats, then pay a lot more bloody attention to what is going on in the primaries. Want a Labour Democrat (one that actually supports the workers) and a Green Republican (a conservatives that actually wants to conserve things), than put them up at the primaries. It is high time to kick the corporations out of the primaries and stop them from stacking elections in their favour before they even start.
About 10% of the voters vote in the primary making it easy to win the election before it even starts by stacking both sides with candidates that actually support the people.
Beg you pardon buddy but that is other peoples money. Those junk deceitful fraudulent invest agencies of today can all be replaced by new finance agencies that mind their p's and q's with suffcient regulation and by throwing approximately 10,000 or so of the most egregiously dishonest finance corporate executives into prison, upon a global basis and of course confiscating their assets, especially those hidden in tax havens.
No, this is about companies with large number of IPv4 address space renting them out and then actively obstructing the change over to IPv6 in order to maximise their investment.
So is M$ evil for the investment, unknown. Will they end up being a bunch of arse holes by actively fucking up IPv6 in their software, well that's a wait and see. As it is, typical networking hardware with it's own software suite will override windows configurations unless of course those network hardware companies have large investments in IPv4 address space.
As it is, some will work against IPv6 and some will drive the change over, you can guess the difference between the two camps. Ahh, the benefits of corporate greed to the development of humanity, now all we need to do to make that work, is to consider extinction a benefit.
These are pretty large. So think of piled up debris from hurricanes, up rooted trees et al. Now after a hurricane the debris piles are cleaned up or at least relocated and compacted.
Not to worry with record extreme weather, perhaps after the next couple of record hurricanes and the stripping of government services to feed tax cuts for millionaires, the next bunch of debris piles will be around for long enough so you can see the ecology develop in abandoned Florida suburbs.
More accurately the whole concept is that all email leaving or entering government departments adhere to similar principles of snail mail. That it adhere to the standards set forth by each department, with regards to record keeping and content.
Bit of a miss of private email but then that is the quirk of employer supplied email versus employer supplied snail mail. With snail mail, you wrote in on company time, pilfered a stamp but you used non letter head paper and a blank envelope, nobody really cared didn't cost that much and kept worker morale up and it was clearly non-company correspondence.
Catch with email is it is very difficult to separate non company email from company email using the company servers and in government because of communications audit responsibilities just using web-based services is not quite enough separation.
Of course with smart phones and netbooks, there really is no excuse not to use your own stuff and keep your privacy unless of course you are banned from carrying those items into the work place. Then of course companies might have to consider setting themselves up as ISPs to achieve legal separation from the communications they allow their workers as part of the salary package.

I found this more informative on the reluctance motor http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/vol_2/chpt_13/4.html. Of course you would still want to incorporate solar panels on the top surfaces of the wings just to get that bit of extra free energy into the system, especially if done properly as the wing surface so no additional weight. Add to that an inflatable aircraft http://bayourenaissanceman.blogspot.com/2008/06/weekend-wings-20-inflatable-aircraft.html (using hydrogen or helium) and away you go.
