1) Pick 12 random CEOs/other top executives (random choice weighted by company market cap) 2) Sequester them for the length of the trial, allowing no contact with their companies (a few months at a time?) 3) Only pay them standard jury pay for their time. 4) laugh as random corps become leaderless randomly.
The right to join and form a union is important; but I reject the idea of 'Union Shops', where you are required (if not literally, at least practically) to join, and pay.
It's like flag burning and gun ownership; I have no interest in them now, but if you try take away my right to do so, I will just to protest.
I got a Surface RT on launch day, and was sitting at the bus stop playing with it, and some guy ran past and grabbed it.
I was about to give chase, but as he was running he looked at it, stopped, turned around, and gave it back saying "Sorry man, I'm so sorry for you man."
"If you really wanted many people to see different things on the same screen, the various tricks used for 3D (shutter glasses, polarization) would be more effective"
I really should have followed up on patenting that when I thought of it in 1996; Initial patent search didn't come up with obvious prior art, but being unemployed at the time I didn't have money to pay a patent attorney, and no clue how to go about getting VC funding. I also dropped it because of the Pokemon seizures, I figured shutter glasses might have the same effect (and 3D movies just give me a headache anyway)
But, if it ever becomes an issue for patent trolling, I kept the documentation from the original patent search/lawyer contact.
They (initially) sold hardware at a loss, planning to make up the cost by selling games.
The homebrewers are not, as stated, interested in the games. Therefore, in Sony's view they are stealing the hardware, just as much as someone downloading Sony brand music is stealing it.
The only reason PS3s were able to make cheap clusters is because Sony subsidized the consumer hardware; otherwise it would make more sense to buy hardware designed for the purpose without the controller ports, blu-ray drives, etc. etc.
It's a result of Sony's business decision, and they were losing too much to the people who would never buy a single game or blu-ray movie, so they cut their losses by killing homebrew capabilities, protecting the price points for their profitable target market.
Any system of bodies is going to have a center of gravity. My guess (not having read TFA) is that this planet is many times further away from the binary stars than they are to each other.
I would guess the new OS would be binary compatible with the old OS; just like you can run Windows 1.0 applications on Windows 7 (subject to quirks...)
Which would also be why just using BSD wouldn't work.
The windows could be covered with LCD shutters a virtual camerathat activate the moment laser light is detected, and a camera view is projected on them; effectivly capping the brightness.
Basically, be able to fly the plane as if it were an unmanned drone.
People who roleplay 'evil' characters are much nicer than those who play 'good' characters...
Those who play 'good' (particularly Paladins) tend to think they are always right, while 'evil' (Necromancer players for example) are more open minded and accepting.

How much of China's pollution is to produce luxury goods for US/EU vs serving their own people?
Specifically, how many factories have been relocated to China, not just for cheap labor, but because of lax environmental laws?
Just had a thought, what if one on the major tech companies (Google, Apple, MS...) bought Hostess?
The problem with dealing with corrupt guards and drug smugglers like that, is they are reasonably likely to just shoot you, and keep your money.
Well, there goes another few dozen neurons to a completly useless fact.
Doesn't Motorola/Google already get royalties from the wifi chip makers?
Do they want 2.25% of the chip; plus 2.25% of the circuit board; plus 2.25% of the device; plus 2.25% of the system; plus 2.25% of ...
OK, the plan for corp-to-corp lawsuits.

I'll take pizza and a movie over $6 a gallon gas on credit at 31.99% interest, but that's just me.
If data on people under 18 can't be given to the police, what's to stop everyone from claiming to be under 18 when convenient?
Would you trust the claimed age on the user profile of someone known to be abusing the system the profile is on?
Remember, on the Internet, noone knows you are a dog.
Same reason they don't let people on Death Row commit suicide, they are not allowed to control their own lives anymore.
I agree, they should be put to death.
or did you mean their employment should be 'Terminated', as opposed to their existence?

It's basically theft-proof.

A better comparison for Anonymous is a large Corporation.
Large group of individuals acting for common interests with a lack of personal accountability and moral restraint.

If the universe is just a poor simulation, does that explain why I can't find my socks?
I believe the federal government exempts itself from patent law anyway.
They add a Loathe button.
You don't need a DNS entry to spam or even host a website (it probably helps though...)
