Watts = I(current)*Vrms(voltage). (Yes, I am ignoring VARS for the moment) Vrms for the states is nominally 120 V. 9 W/ 120V = 0.075 Amps. 75 mAmps isn't pulling very much at all.
You have a pretty good analogy. No one on the US side wants to kill civilians. When it does happen, it is because of a miscommunication, or other mistake.
They can cover production costs of drugs where the development costs have already been recouped. There is a reason that most drugs come to market in Canada five or more years after the US. Yes it would be great if all those other countries would remove their price controls and pay their fair share. Since they aren't going to do that, we have to cover the development costs or they won't be developed. If you want to see what happens when everybody has price controls, look at the vaccine market. There are only three companies that make flu vaccine. There have been virtually no advances in production in the last 20 years.
They spend far more marketing a single drug than they spent developing that drug, how much is their marketing when compared to the research costs of the 7-8 drugs that never made it to market.
Quote: Some amount of public subsidy and patronage is already present to support music that either can't be put on in concert, or isn't profitable to put on in concert. As it becomes increasingly less realistic for artists to expect payment for every copy made of their work, it's worth supporting public subsidy and patronage models at the same time as calling for people to buy tickets to see their favourite rock bands in concert.

If there aren't enough people that like him to cover the costs of his work, then he sucks. The whole problem with public subsidies in any and all areas is that anyone who needs one shouldn't get one, and those who could make good use of the money don't need it.
Whats even better: when your on the ground, the UAV dropped the bomb because you asked them to. You asked because you were being shot at. Then some asshat reporter shows up a week later and parrots the Taliban propaganda about some non-existent wedding party like it's the gods honest truth.
I would suggest this is more of a Teamsters, organized crime type thing. A pallet of real processor is replaced with a pallet of fakes by an employee. The pallet looks the same and weighs the same so nobody notices. A new distributor pops up for a week selling cut rate real processors and are gone before the fakes make it through the supply chain. When a box falls off a truck, people notice. When a pallet is replaced, nobody will even be able to find out which warehouse, shipping company, or even country, made the switch.
At the college level it can be very convenient. Why carry 30lbs of books when you can carry a single ebook reader that can also display professors presentations, along with student notes?
My second thought was, if they can't afford $10,000 for CES, they certainly can't afford the $10,000 a lawyer would require to convince a court that whatever contract CES has with the Venetian/Palazzo is illegal due to violations of innkeeping laws.

A vendor who rents a suite is paying for floor space. It just happens to be floor space in the suite. Could you explore this free-riding concept a little bit more. If I put a gas station across the street from a wal-mart, does that mean I owe wal-mart money for free-riding on their traffic volume? If a vendor rents a suite in the hotel next to CES are they still free riding? How about a block away? A mile? I can understand that the event organizer is upset, and they may have an exclusivity deal with the hotel. If the hotel failed to include additional restrictions into their suite rental contracts then CES has a legitimate complaint against the hotel. The vendors who got kicked out by the hotels also have a legitimate complaint against the hotel since they complied with the standard hotel usage agreements(I'm assuming the hotel failed to modify their rental agreements) and were kicked out anyway. At a minimum the vendors deserve a refund for the unused time they paid for.
The problem is the hotel may have had an agreement with CES, but did not have any such agreement with the organizations renting the suites. The hotels would be within their rights if they refunded the money for unused days when they kicked out vendors. A hotel can't legally rent you a room for a week, kick you out after two days, and keep all the money if you haven't broken your agreement with the hotel. Agreements the hotel may have with third parties have no bearing on your agreement with the hotel.
You have power as an individual. If you have an education and/or a skill others need then . Your power proportional to how much other people need any knowledge/skills you have. If your a high school dropout without any skills, your power is very small. If you have years of executive experience and a couple of masters and phds then you have quite a lot of power.
The CEO is there to make shareholders happy. If you own 51% of the shares he will do whatever makes you happy. If you own 51 shares, there are a whole of of other people more important than you he needs to make happy.
All the sexual harassment briefings I've ever gotten pretty much define all possible human interactions as possible harassment. You talk to them too much and your hitting on them. You don't talk to them enough and your shunning them. And it's all up to the "victims" perception of the "hostile" environment.
Under US laws, intent has nothing to do with it. It is all based on what the offended party perceives it to be. If a person was the victim of a pool table intercourse rumor at a previous job, and you (having no knowledge of the persons issue at another company) ask them if they would like to play pool, your still guilty of sexual harassment.
T-mobile doesn't require any contract if you provide your own equipment, or even if you buy from them at full price. The sales people will always put the contract in the stack things for you to sign. Hell if you sign it they get you hooked without having to pay for your phone. Just refuse to sign and they take it away. If you pay full price for a t-mobile phone online then you don't have to deal with the tricky salespeople. I haven't dealt with them, but I would assume that other cell providers requiring contracts without subsidized phones is just pushy salespeople.

If the environmentalists would obstructing every nuclear power plant, all this wouldn't be necessary.

That legislation to raise the damages cap will probably run into that whole "no ex- post facto" Constitution thing.

If you RTFA, it mentions a significantly higher risk of heart problems, along with some other issues I don't remember off the top of my head.

Thats why I have a Sony PRS-600. No wireless. I have complete control of what goes onto that device.

Wall Street? Ponzi scheme. Tha'ts nothing. Have you looked at Social Security? Textbook definition of a Ponzi scheme, and the largest in history.
