The "stolen formula" was sold and resold among several companies. The end-product (the caps) weren't exactly fake, but the recipe the makers bought to manufacture them was fake.
My theory is that the missing ingredients were deliberate... that it was a honeypot by a company that wanted to find out which of (or if) its employees was stealing secrets.
You must not have been around for the Great Motherboard Capacitor Rupturing of 1998, when just about every major motherboard manufacturing company fell victim to the hordes of fake caps being sold around Asia. Well, not fake exactly, but fake in that they were not as specified and only worked for a few months before bursting.
Sure, but a nautical mile is specifically defined as one minute of longitude as measured along the equator. As the Earth is an oblate spheroid, defining it as one minute of latitude yields very slightly (though virtually insignificant) different distances depending on where you happen to measure it.
To clarify, a nautical mile is one minute of arc measured at the equator.
One minute of arc at Greenland is a considerably shorter distance than one nautical mile.:)

I use MSE on my gaming machine at home. One of the reasons is because I'm fairly certain that it will never declare key Windows files to be malware and disable them.
If HR does not have a good list of criteria for the position, that's the fault of who is creating or filling the position.
If HR is disregarding a good list of criteria, that should be taken above their level.
You get 100+ qualified applicants for every job. Of course statistics are going to be used to narrow down the pool. If you share a characteristic with others that have a higher than average chance of being problematic, that is going to be a factor of whether or not you get considered for the position. If they do find another qualified candidate without any of those factors, it doesn't matter to them that you are also qualified. If they don't find another one, you're going to get a call anyway.
They simply do not have the time, opportunity, or justification to hold a magnifying glass up to every candidate that applies for a position. It's up to you to ensure that there are no silly reasons for them to discard you out of hand.
Because the only cool names in the military are on the unit patches the soldiers wear. Everything else is an acronym for something that sounds like a Terminator T-1000 accessory.
Why are people still buying EA titles? They go as far as possible out of their way to prevent paying customers from using their products as possible. Stop giving them money and they will stop screwing you over.
Just wait for the next piece of junk mail to come with a pre-paid return postage card. Stick the card to the phonebook and drop it in the mail. This results in:
1) The idiots forcing you to receive worthless phone book have wasted money.
2) The idiots sending you other worthless junk have wasted money.
3) The Post Office gets money.
Come on folks, this are very easy issues to resolve.
Don't buy one.
You, the consumer, will be deciding whether MS succeeds or fails in this attempt to convert you from owners to renters.

Thank your child labor laws and overprotective nanny state.
Either way, you'll be labeled "pretentious" by everyone who sees you in it.

What happened to Demonoid - the Search for More Money?

Yeah, that's the point. You actually said the point he made while simultaneously missing that he'd said it.

That said, though... this one is a little silly on their part.

Clinton only lost the launch codes for a few months.

You mean like HMS Cockchafer?

Phones are the modern pocketwatch.
Maybe the pythons will get them and be poisoned.
That's great advice. "Commit a felony to find out who's trying to leach off your WiFi." I think there are better solutions.

Sorry, my mistake. :)
So, why even bother suggesting it if you feel it's a waste of time?
