It also depends on the gearing. If you sit at 2.5k RPMs at 55, and shift up to the next gear at 62, so you're at 2.2k, you're going to do better in terms of efficiency. Try and feel out where the gear shifts, there's almost definitely one in there.
That's a possible, theorized function, not something concrete. We know that a foreskin isn't a necessary part of the body, in absolutely certain terms.
There's a problem if they close down the store entirely though, it makes their product far less appealing as a whole. I really do know people who got in to Apple, and think they're a great product with some flaws, but the real thing keeping them locked in are all of the apps they already purchased. The lure of Apple for new customers is the App Store as well. You can call it an insignificant contributor to their bottom line, but that's just like saying an ERP doesn't contribute to the bottom line - it's directly true, but the indirect effect is far greater.
Just because it's not a direct moneymaker doesn't mean it's not an indirect moneymaker. People use iPhones because of the variety of apps and perception of higher quality. If you take away one of these, Android will surge past them.
Handicap space laws usually apply to any lot with over a certain number of parking spots, which Apple's campus would easily fall under as a corporation. The exceptions here are only private houses and older parking lots. Even small apartment type buildings owned by an individual are not exempt.
You're missing the fact that the illegality of parking in those spots is not part of the ADA, but in California's state code. You'll never get out of that ticket by claiming ownership of the building (I'm not sure about this, but I doubt he personally owned the building complex anyway, it was likely Apple's property)
(a) It is unlawful for any person to park or leave standing any vehicle in a stall or space designated for disabled persons and disabled veterans pursuant to Section 22511.7 or 22511.8 of this code or Section 14679 of the Government Code, unless the vehicle displays either a special identification license plate issued pursuant to Section 5007 or a distinguishing placard issued pursuant to Section 22511.55 or 22511.59.
Bush took away the ability for student loans to be discharged during bankruptcy in 2005, and that move has been criticized heavily since then. Discharging student loan debt isn't some grand new concept - it's going back to the way things were before some idiot fucked it up.
Also, the sheer number is astounding, if the overlap on these requests tends to mean there' mostly unique customers on these requests. 1 out of every 100 people in the US is spied on seems to be complete overkill for their job.
It's not like there's a whole lot of choice of carrier there. You could go with T-Mobile or a more local carrier, but that's only viable in very limited areas.
It's not a matter of the people of the year 3000 - it's a matter of the people now and over the next 100 years, when technologies may become available that required this discovery to become possible, or even other basic science that is now 10 years delayed. This time-based impact isn't easily seen from the year 3000, but is quite obvious in 2050.
What's the market cap? What's the total shares outstanding over that time frame? Price/earnings ratio? There's a 2:1 stock split during that time frame, and quite a few dividends. Your very simplistic measure is outright wrong in its interpretation of facts. You can sit at a $30 stock price over 10 years, while doubling the number of total outstanding shares, but your measure and accompanying interpretation takes that as "they didn't grow at all".
"...where two or more persons are bound together for one or more common purposes by mutual undertakings, each having mutual duties and obligations, in an organization which has rules identifying in whom control of the organization and its funds are vested, and which can be joined or left at will."
...doesn't do anything to exclude corporations (these are all characteristics of a corporation), I'm failing to see your distinction.
You can't form an unincorporated company - someone technically owns everything done by that group of people in that case, at which point a single individual effectively is the company. You can join a group, but that is not a company - not by a long shot.
Anyway, this whole internet thing is clearly an interstate commerce clause matter. The ISPs that provide service to the vast majority of internet users in the US, including Verizon, are not single-state entities, and the communications taking place over the internet are very rarely geographically constrained to a single state. Even something as simple as email leaves the state during transit in a huge number of cases.
They do have far too many models, and there's a new flagship every 4-6 months at most manufacturers. Those flagships are completely different on each carrier, too.
On one hand, it promotes competition - Android phone specs are improving at a far better rate than the iPhone line. On the other, it makes the marketplace a total clusterfuck, so consumers have no idea what they're getting.
One is an extreme singular focus, the other is an extremely competitive marketplace. If anything, this is a good case study of those extremes that can likely be applied to other industries as well. Too much high profile competition clouds the market, while too little ends up removing freedom in the name of centralization.

He's also presuming that this is the cause.

Did you forget that you're on Slashdot, where the summaries are almost always incorrect in a substantial way?
For every person actually affected, there's 20 frivolous claims.
So, the area from Boston to Washington DC counts as one metro area then?

It's in both Kansas City, MO and Kansas City, KS - they're next to each other, and Google decided on both cities.

You could have just not mentioned you lived there, and included the name.
Change all of those instances of Chicago to New York City, and it's now sarcastic.

I actually wonder how Bloomberg will respond to this incident. He's reasonable enough where he may go against the cops in this case.
This is modded funny, but try it out as a way to keep very young kids busy while you work...

When it is discovered, though, can have quite an impact on history.
1 stock in 2002 != 1 stock in 2012

Considering the definition in the article...
"...where two or more persons are bound together for one or more common purposes by mutual undertakings, each having mutual duties and obligations, in an organization which has rules identifying in whom control of the organization and its funds are vested, and which can be joined or left at will."

Yerp, I should learn how to count before posting again :-P
