From the perspective of a pharmaceutical firm, the ideal drug is one that works well, is cheap to make, can be sold for a lot, and has to be taken for the rest of the patient's life.
The guide adds in another username, but that isn't strictly necessary. I expect they had it come up into commandline mode by default to avoid starting X if it's not needed.
Health care costs, unlike the costs for lawyers, grow substantially over time. No matter how large the economy of a country is, the cost will eventually break the state or lead to significant rationing schemes
Why should health care costs increase over time? What makes it different from computer hardware, or legal fees? Just because a company wants to charge hundreds of thousands of dollars for a fancy new drug doesn't mean we need to actually pay it. Yes, it might mean that some drugs don't get invented, but it might also mean far better care for the average person.
Also, we'd probably be much better off overall if we did some preventative medicine rather than just treating problems as they show up.
If airlines have security incidents, their insurance rates will increase. Eventually they will arrive at a balance between insurance costs, security costs, and revenues.
Conceivably you could have an airline that advertised low security requirements, providing the benefits of reduced groping and security wait times but slightly increased risks. They would then bet on higher market share offsetting the increased insurance costs.
The question as to whether or not they copied the API is not at issue, Google has admitted to copying a subset of the API. The question the jury is deciding is whether or not this is fair use under copyright law, or whether it falls into the other areas where copying is allowed.
I work from home but my team is on the other side of the country. VPN sessions open constantly, I timeshift TV shows via the net, etc. Normally I'm below 60GB.
As long as they apply the same rules to everyone, it could be considered neutral to not count "internal" traffic towards the cap. My own ISP has said that their upstream internet costs are significant and growing so this isn't so far-fetched.
The logical solution is for Sony to install a local caching server inside the Comcast network--if Comcast were to prevent that, then it would violate net neutrality.
Even if they copied, it may be considered fair use. The judge ruled that all 166 APIs need to be considered as the work in question, and as I understand it Google only implemented 37. There are other issues to consider as well (read the whole thing at groklaw if you are interested).
"Thus, pressure to update regulations may build, as awareness grows of the five-to-tenfold disparity between the risk estimates per unit dose recommended by scientists today and the older values still used by regulators in cost–benefit calculations for determining allowable doses."
Guiness is generally served at cellar temperature, or around 10C (50F). I don't know if it's still around, but when I was in a pub in England a while back it was available as "cold" and "extra cold".
My mom is a midwife and is forever complaining about the electronic medical record system they use here. At her previous practice they used OSCAR, which is an open-source EMR system that actually seemed to be okay.
The current system is web-based, and it works okay on a 1920x1200 screen but when you downsize to a 1366x768 laptop or 1024x768 tablet it sucks royally to the point where some fields are effectively unreadable. It's so bad that my mom refuses to use it for reasons of patient safety. (There has already been an incident directly attributable to the EMR shortcomings.)
I find it easy to understand. The laws they have lobbied for have punishments that are *way* out of proportion to the harm. Steal a single DVD, you're charged with petty theft. Download a bittorrent of the same movie (and leave it seeding for a while) and you can be charged with 1000 counts of distribution and owe many tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Allcaps works fine for emphasis as far as I'm concerned. It's a webforum...manual markup is so last decade. If you want people to use formatting, give us a WYSIWYG edit box.

That 1GHz PIII is faster than a 1GHz Arm chip out now. It would *fly* with any of the smartphone/tablet OS's.
Remember, these things are not normally running full-blown general-purpose linux distros.

admittedly it does have a power supply and case and more memory...but no hardware floating point and no display adapter

A Chevy Volt battery pack is 16KWh.
Once you specify "a", the "d" is redundant.
Thus, if you don't consume that product, you don't pay those taxes.
Basically it's another form of sales tax.

The judge may be working in parallel with the jury.

Do you really think that George Washington or Thomas Jefferson couldn't have had someone quietly disappeared if they wanted to?
We have a sample size of one. We cannot generalize from this. We have never created actual "life" in the lab...only the precursors.
Basically we have no idea how likely it is that life arises given the right conditions.
Anyone dealing with device drivers, early bringup code, or exception handlers needs to be able to read datasheets. Generally not so much VHDL though.
How much space does that take exactly? Or were you talking about using a _subset_ of C++?
They protect an implementation of an idea. If someone else can implement the idea in a way that doesn't infringe on the patent, you're good.
