    You're thinking of trademarks, Mickey cartoons are copyrighted, Mickey is a trademarked character. Even if the copyrights ever expire, the trademark will remain. So long as it's worth buying out of the eventual bankruptcy(s).

    110 F 100% humidity. Joy! Water condensing on the outside of the windshield above the AC vents at stoplights, in December.

    Miami people are more like SF people than you want to admit. I'm not pro-SF, I'm anti-Miami.

    Google image 'florida county voting map 2016'.

    Not to worry. We'll just make it up with unpaid overtime.

    Or perhaps not.

    Isle of wight, Luxemburg and Monaco are all Euro tax havens. The queen of England _owns_ the Isle of wight and gets a % of all the tax evasion money stashed there.

    Counterfeit notes, to a bank? No. That's not how that works.

    Unless you posit they are 'perfect forgeries'. But even then the bank will have good cameras all over the public space.

  9. Optical diffraction grating encoders. Good to about a thou.

  10. Think of the savings!

    They should steer the boat with another controller. Run the reactor with a third.

    But you're the kind of guy that writes his own framework....

    It's not how fast you code, it's how well you design (to be modified later), it's how well you execute that design, it's how well you split the work with the rest of the team.

    Team friendly? Building the team is the key skill, sometimes that requires you NOT be friendly. If someone has got to go, that's it. If you're handed a well functioning team, you are lucky indeed. Most teams suck.

    The black community does have a bitch, they aren't getting their fair share of police protection. It really should be about 40% of those shot by police, but they are getting shorted.

    Libertarianism won't be implemented, just like Socialism won't.

    But principles of libertarianism will continue to be part of the United States government. It might take bankruptcy to get the government to 'mind it's business', but it will, one way or another.

  24. You don't understand markets, just obviously.

    The rules are just costs associated with each place, the person/company gets to choose, based on imperfect knowledge. Free enough.
