How would it be expensive when PwC doesn't have a legal leg to stand on?
Because that does not stop them from suing you. And just the hearings to determine that they don't have a valid case will be enough to bury a mortal in legal bills that are impossible to pay off.
I can tell you that based on this if I now found a flaw in PwC's system I would not inform them, nor would I warn them. I would just release the info as AC.
you realize you're supposed to report that on your state income taxes and report it for use tax... It's not tax free, it's that you're not following tax law and no one is enforcing it (but if they decided to you're in a world of hurt).
not really. In a small company, yes, but in a company as big as Amex you always have people on vacation/out sick/etc. your headcount is likely actually +1 or +2 of what you need in an idealized model anyway because of that (within an org level that 1-2 heads == ~8% of staff).
To wit! the Beetle, arguably the most iconic car of all times is a Nazi invention. They did many things that are absolutely horrible, and I even will concede the slippery slope of using good data that was "badly" gathered (I really don't know a harsh enough word to go in that space, so badly it is)...
But there are some things they did, some ideas they had, that can be made to do good for people. Use it.
Tagging the vulnerable that cannot help themselves in case they get lost or wander is a wonderful application of the idea of "marking people to make them easier to identify". I would argue that this would extend nicely to children too young to remember their address or parents' phone numbers. -nB
for about 17 years that was my case. I recently was laid off as my team moved to Israel (among other things) but in fact I felt like I was paid money to go play all day. I only *worked* maybe 4-8 hours a month (meetings... ick), the rest of the time I did things I found so engaging and fun that I would often forget to take breaks, go to lunch, go home... I literally had to set an alarm on my computer to remind me of such things.
Depending on where OP lives that's actually really doable. Where I live, if I want to be comfortable, I need 50K post tax/yr minimum. If I could bring in 75K post tax I'd be *set*.
no one said you'd keep your *same* job. I'd still work (in fact I do have a "win the lottery" fiscal plan, even though I only play when the pot odds are at.90 or better), but it'd be working on stuff that interests me and that would be at least break even. If possible I'd hire on a couple of my mates that are in the same line of interest and start a small company, predominately to stay busy.
well, they are expecting that you will have 2 - 4 people watching when you show it. In that light the price is consistent with the ticket price.
As to me, *if* I'm going to see the movie in the theater I will (with or without this) otherwise I'll wait for it to come out in Netflix's DVD catalog.
Make repatriating money easier and cheaper and two things will happen: 1) money will come back into the US and help our economy 2) whoever does it will be crucified for being easy on big business income taxes.
Doubtful. the code was only the key and transform function, the payload was the transparency data of the image its self. I'm sure they're going to start blocking it now, but there is no way they would have caught this in a normal screening.
in theory you could send a malformed signal to the TV. A while back there was a PNG exploit that caused an overflow of the displaying program to run code.
Since most TV streams are compressed though I'm not sure if this would be viable in the real world.

HA!
It's their first reaction to *any* news including a curious lack of news.
"Good news sir!" -> Lawyers
"Bad news..." -> Lawyers
"Jeeves! I have not seen any news lately." -"I'll dial up the legal dept. sir."

Yes, you really can. It is genuinely amazing when that all happens.
I really do miss that.

They Yakked up 3/5 of their staff.
Of course this is the first I've heard of them. That they market to college kids is likely why. I dropped out of college in 1999 to go into tech.
give the people bread and circuses... right?
saltwater whetted contact surface and a 12V DC car battery will do fine.
Ask me how I know... *ouch* (not the balls though)
yup.
I can't live off my dividends of my stock portfolio, but it buys me a modest new car or nice used car every 7 years or so.
balls of steel.
That's a common misconception. His balls were actually made from glass fibers embedded in a custom high-temperature resin.
With a Mylar skin.
Mind you, where several of said tin cans had exploded, crashed, or otherwise failed in a (fatal to the meat inside) way.

I don't drink :p strictly thinking of the black market resale value....
I'd take that deal...
Also, define "lifetime" and what is the absolute daily maximum for rum consumption.
what about room mates?
