1.) Immediately investigate Jerry Yang's connection with the "advisors".
2.) Ensure that the current CEO understands that any future "advisment" of this nature will come out of her pension.
That's $215K per day for a whole year !
Do you expect me to believe that the 100 top flight lawyers and accountants were working every day of the year on this ? Or did they just hire Accenture ?
There is no way to be fully redundant unless you have independent power sources, which usually requires your backup systems to be geographically separated. In my experience, loss of power is the single most common reason for a system failure in a well designed system (after human error that is).
My point is that the EULA for the beta was little different from the eula for previous release products. The fact that the eula denies permissions to perform comparative tests is therefore inadmissable as a reason that the comparative tests results are somehow invalid. If the eula restrictions magically invalidate test results, no comparitive tests would ever be valid even on release products.
I'm sorry, I don't have the figures, but I'd rather live in a country where the police are rarely seen, and when they are they act with (relative) prudence, instead of like drunken cowboys.
Nobody 'forced' the lenders to make bad loans, they only needed the least little bit of encouragement to do so. It was not coersion, it may well have been entrapment though.
Don't get me wrong, the greedy bastards should have acted more professionally, (and certainly should have received bailout money for their supid business practices) but there is a case to be made for entrapment as a defense for criminal negligence.
All in favour of their new strategy of luring hardened criminals to the local golf course for a few rounds ? Oh perhaps a ski weekend in Morzine ? That would be "doing something" too, but I think they'd have a bit more opposition to those plans (even if they might be more effective)

...A positive note for the US: China and Russia are even more hobbled by Microsoft-created productivity losses. I'd suspect a CIA plot if they weren't as screwed up as Microsoft.

Although the former is actually really just passing a pointer too...
No, it's not.
A reference is an alias, not a pointer.
Well, at least plumbers have a skill. I chose delivery man becuase it's unskilled labour.

Sorry, I'm new to this meme.

Hands up, how many people guess at the existence of such a word ?
Yeah, I'm lost too. I thought perhaps it was a reference to a T.V. show.
Please review the economic/finance definition for intrinsic value
Where are most of the city of London's finance houses DR sites ?
They're all in the same building, just outside the city of London !
There's no intrinsic value in any website with millions of daily visitors.
There, fixed that for you too

...the real problem. Doctors won't use the best course of treatment as long as they are encouraged by big pharma and HMOs to do otherwise
Because nobody wants to watch you shit, Shoot up, or go down on George Michael
Addendum:
I'm sorry, I don't have the figures, but I'd rather live in a country where the police are rarely seen, and when they are they act with (relative) prudence, instead of like drunken cowboys.
I'd also prefer to live in a country where they don't incarcerate 1/8 of all black males under the age of 30, or detain people without charge indefinitely.
Those topics are far more important to me than some cameras placed in public places.
Repeat after me...
There is no right to privacy in a public place.
...I'm tired of having to search in hundreds of different locations for little scraps of information that should be freely available from one portal.
Like it or not, Windows 7 had a EULA with which you specifically agreed not to do this upon downloading and installing it.
No different than previous versions of MS products which tried to outlaw benchmarking. These were final release products too, you know.
Windows 2000 doesn't handle graphics intensive applications at all well compared to Windows XP.
Besides, if you're a large corporation, there are compelling reasons to be running a supported product.
let me be the first to say.........woosh !
Sense of humor failure ?
1.) Why is this guy paying ANYTHING?
2.) How could a few hours of international data service cost that much ?
