the Russians had *nothing whatsoever* to do with the US election, other than the usual. And even the leftists admit there is exactly zero evidence of any tampering in the results. This is a bullshit meme attempting to excuse/deflect blame for the loss of one of the worst candidates in history, because the democrats cannot accept the truth.
This thread is petering out but it's not $80 million to buy out a lawsuit. They will stop the suit, but still have all the assets of Qualcomm to either continue to operate or sell off in whole or in parts. I haven't bothered to look, but if Qualcomm is profitable, then continuing to run it will just add to the Apple corporate coffers.
Holy crap. I thought my point was pretty obvious, but apparently not. This is a *business dispute*, so solving with business methods - i.e. raiding the One Infinite Loop coffee fund to buy out qualcomm in its entirety - is a pretty reasonable solution, it would seem.
In any more than trivial cases, you cannot double-check the results, they just come out. And you cannot check the calculations themselves, because they can't be listed in any useful way, nor can you make sense of them.
The problem is that there is no way to separate out the time wasted on this problem VS actual work. And, it always works for managers (which by definition, don't usually produce anything) and their secretaries (which are the first/only people they ask about it.
I have seen a bunch of those, but the speed seems to be a secondary consideration. You can't tell whether the results are correct in any more than trivial cases.
However, the cost of 3-6 months trying to get a new machine configured properly and the correct software installed is NOT trivial in terms of time wasted. And 3 months would be an optimistic estimate. The biggest time waste I see is the dreaded "refresh", where you have everything working, then someone comes around wanting to "upgrade" your machine, and then you spend weeks or months arguing with IT about which applications should be installed, finding that half your documents are corrupted because this version of WORD is incompatible with the last 5 (all of which are also incompatible with each other), and poking around the internet trying to troubleshoot because no one has any idea what to do about it.
The reason for this is to find "terrorists", but how many terrorists are dumb enough to give over their accounts that they use to actively proclaim jihad on the world with?
A lot of them, actually. ISIS is very active about it, in fact. I think both the French and Monaco truck-ramming idiots had posts on some social media about jihad. Same with the idiots who shot up the theater.
These guys are not criminal masterminds, nor are they particularly crafty or intelligent. Something this simple wouldn't stop all of them, but it would at least flag some of them.
And in any case, this blatant and documented case would result in the guy being marched off the property that afternoon at any legitimate large corporation.

When you have an administration who effectively declared war on coal and coal producers, and shoveled billions of tax dollars in to various (mostly failed) solar companies - to launder the money - it's not a shock that there are more solar jobs.
Solder with lead is *far* less prone to tin whiskers than lead-free solder - which is mostly tin. Most aerospace applications have special dispensation from the RoHS rules concerning lead because it's a critical component in eliminating tin whiskers.
It's and example of an irritating affectation from the computer-geek world, trying to sound more sophisticated or vaguely European. A bunch of idiots go around in Wikipedia changing conventional spelling to British spellings (artefact VS artifact), too.

A pure white flag would seem appropriate. Perhaps attached to the end of a rifle, and animate it to be waving wildly.

Qualcomm market capitalization = $80 billion, give or take a few. Apple cash on hand = $250 billion.
I know how this turns out. Don Quixote had a more rational approach.
In fact, it's massive MORE difficult than a real computer language. If nothing else, you can't examine the code in any useful way.

Slashdot has the same issue, of course.

Isaac Newton was a religious fanatic even by standards of the day. He invented modern science and differential calculus as a side-effect.
Rene Descartes was highly religious and formed the basis of modern philosophy, citing God as the basic element of the universe.
The vast majority of the human population believes in some sort of higher power.

Let me translate your post:
" I am a moron leftist who thinks money grows on trees, and the government has a lot of money so they should give some to me "
You're welcome.
