Developers receive 70% of the money from purchases in the app store and in the market. The other 30% of revenues in the app store goes to Apple. The other 30% of revenues in the market does not go to Google - it goes to the carriers. I don't know why. I can't imagine steam paying a percentage to ISPs for games bought through their system -- or google paying ISPs a cut of the revenues of their various products delivered via ISPs. Perhaps it is an incentive to carriers to sell android phones by catering to their greed for nickel and diming?
I love that one point of the system was to eliminate the age-old abuse of city workers punching clocks for their friends and save up to $60 million a year. A project to prevent the city from overpaying people for doing nothing is being overpaid to do nothing.
The video was very well done, too. I thought I was watching an episode of "How It's Made." It almost made me want to turn off adblock to give him some revenue... almost.;)
Both Patent Attorneys and Patent Agents are generally required to have a technical degree (such as engineering, chemistry or physics) and must take and pass the Examination for Registration to Practice in Patent Cases Before the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

A candidate must also possess "good moral character and reputation" (37 CFR 11.7)
People "share" a lot more than they realize, though. My gf was perplexed and a little frightened when she received an e-mail inviting her to facebook which included a section entitled something like "People you know" and it included half a dozen people she does know and most of which do not know each other or the person that sent the invitation. She never joined facebook so she was frightened that facebook had so much information about people she knows. My theory is that those people had separately sent her invitations in the past several years which facebook kept a record of tied to her name or e-mail address and used that information to build a list of associations for someone who never signed up for their service. That's just one example of how a simple bit of data mining and analysis can result in a big corporation knowing a lot about you despite never even having signed up for their service. I'm sure/. can think of many more examples.

This reminds of when the guy running freshmeat had a hissyfit and blocked access to the site content for everyone for a while. On the other hand,/. and freshmeat get almost all of their content from the public while ars seems more like an online magazine with paid writers creating their content. (ah, yes, ars is actually owned by a magazine company: Condé Nast and they do have subscriptions.)
This works great for the olympics. I speed up the between race silliness then drop down to normal speed for the race/event.:)

He's not talking about all contractors; just contractors that actually start a corporation. Which I didn't do either and am now thinking perhaps I should.:) Although it's not really more taxes. When you are full time employee, it's really a polite fiction to say that the employer is paying half of FICA. In reality your salary is higher and you are paying it. It just made it easier to get away with that tax increase by pretending employers are paying it. That's also one reason why contractors get paid more than full-time employees, too.
Or you could fund your failures with your successful porn-advertising-ring business like Wales did.:) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bomis But if you have a higher moral code then at least there are bankruptcy laws to help you survive failure a little easier.:)
Only fields that aren't really science add the word science to their name to sound more respectable.:)
Compare physics, chemistry, and biology to political science, computer science, mortuary science, christian science, etc.:D
But seriously, that petition is obviously flawed. They put way too much effort into flaunting that their signers are "trained scientists" and its about the signing of the Kyoto treaty which is a political issue anyway.
You could more easily just uncheck kdawson in the list of authors in your/. preferences. But the problem is that not all of his posts are ignorable. Some selections of a submission to post are obvious even to someone of his, shall we say, limited compatibilities with the community.
Jon Katz was the only author I blocked here because he only posted his own stuff and didn't approve submissions.:) hah. I was verifying it was Jon and not John and noticed he was criticized just as much by the dog folks for his lack of knowledge in that field as he was by we geeks for his lack of tech knowledge. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Katz#Controversy

Astute correlation to silica. However, silica gel adsorbs water which is why it is used in those little desiccant packets to keep stuff dry. This material allegedly does not.
Another factor supporting your theory is that Google gives 30% of all Android Marketplace sales to the carrier (as opposed to keeping the 30% like Apple/MS). It seems like this cut of the action is a bribe to the carriers to encourage Android devices on their networks.
I recently watched the movie 2010 in honor of it actually being 2010. There was a scene with Dr. Floyd sitting at the beach using a laptop with an OMNI magazine next to him that I think was supposed to show what an intellectual he was.:)
It also allows them to scale *their* resources for things like cyber monday by bumping these low priority jobs off the cluster and using it to run their own dynamic site.
The EC2 systems are completely separate from the systems that run amazon.com. (According to a seminar on EC2 by Amazon folks I attended at an NYLUG meeting in October.)
