Most Favoured Customer clauses are well known in economics to be a sign of a cartel.
Most-Favored-Customer Pricing and Tacit Collusion Thomas E. Cooper The RAND Journal of Economics, Vol. 17, No. 3 (Autumn, 1986), pp. 377-388
Abstract:
This article examines the role of the most-favored-customer pricing policy as a practice facilitating coordination in a dynamic model of price-setting duopoly. This policy is a promise by a firm that if it later lowers price, it will rebate to current customers the difference between the price they pay now and the lower future price. by reducing each firm's incentive to reduce price, the policy enables both firms to offer higher prices and to enjoy higher profits. Consequently, at least one firm offers the policy in equilibrium. We illustrate these general results in an example.
I'm afraid you're the troll here, intentionally or not.
A dyslexic is a person with dyslexia. For over ten years, dyslexic students in the UK have been given laptops because it has been shown that it improves their results.
This is why the Lisbon Treaty is a Good Thing. The power of the unelected commissioners has been reduced and the EP can start to be useful. If they can only stop the ridiculous moves to and from Strasbourg, then the future looks bright (for the moment)
By selling AC2 in Germany, Ubisoft has to adhere to German law there. So no matter what they put in the licence, where it conflicts with national law, Ubisoft loses.
The problem with high temperature operation of combustion engines is that you generate lots of NOx, which you don't want unless you like smog. If you can carry out the reaction at high temperatures and prevent oxidation of nitrogen, then you've got a significant improvement.
Individually, Google's projects are mostly very interesting. But they don't work together. I have to set pictures separately for Picasa Web Albums, and a google profile, for example. Some settings must be configured in each project, while others are common across all of them, but it's hard to know which is which, and indeed where to find out where to make changes.
Before trying to go for something as ambitious as rivalling Facebook, they should improve integration and consistency between their projects. Not saying that it is too ambitious - if anyone has the skills to do it, Google has.
Try learning transfer processes, fluid mechanics or thermodynamics by not taking notes and just watching the professor. You may manage to remember 1D, but 2D or 3D will not be possible.
I've taken a look and I've realised that I got my replies mixed up a bit:-) There is still some regulation on EU-8 workers in Switzerland for the next 16 months.
The Swiss government has got a large document available explaining the rules.
My mum works full time in Spain. If you're just popping over for a few days at a time, you'll be okay, but if it's for any extended period you need the equivalent of an NI number to ensure that the correct tax is being paid. But even with typically slow Spanish bureaucracy this wasn't a major problem.
You can't just appear in country X one day and start the next, but you can move anywhere without needing permission.
The local government can only insist that you get the same paperwork as a local person. Obviously this doesn't apply equally to the new EU countries such as Romania.
I'm British and my parents moved to Spain three years ago so I know their experience. They had to get a residence permit and an social security number, but they couldn't be refused them.
The bilateral agreement on the free movement of persons between Switzerland and the EU entered into force on 1 June 2002 and facilitates entry, residence and employment in Switzerland for EU-nationals as well as citizens from Norway, Iceland (EFTA members) and - conditionally - Liechtenstein.
EU-citizens have complete freedom of movement within Switzerland and Swiss citizens within EU-countries. Since the 12th of December 2008 the Swiss Confederation is a full member of Shengen.

I'd say that Hubble is still more than "pretty nice" now, 20 years after it was launched.
Molecular weight of ammonia = 17
Molecular weight of R12 = 121
In Germany it is seen as a totalitarian anti-democratic organization
If only somebody in Germany had the guts to say the same thing about Catholicism, or for that matter Islam.
They did, 500 years ago, and it led to the Reformation.

I was looking for this too. NOx formation is a big issue and it restricts the efficiency of industrial processes too, not just car engines.

Having to worry about short tons vs long tons mean that the US system is bizarre.
If you register your domain through Dreamhost then you don't need to pay for privacy.
Sorry, did you seriously just claim that it's ok for Israel to attack the ICRC and the UN because Hamas doesn't follow the rules either?

Because he became abusive after she had his email address in her contacts? And she didn't foresee needing to delete because of google's innovation?
Up there? It's not in the wilds of the arctic. My office is about 4 miles away from the place, and there is a very nice pub next to it.

Why were you taking courses that you already understood?

If as an author you can't write, then you should be in a different job.
Has there been any increase in Quebecois students studying at Waterloo?

Very true, but that doesn't apply to Germans.
Both are in Europe.
Wrong.
