The price is just so unbeleivably high for Mojang. It's like having a winning lottery ticket, and some one offering to buy it off you for 20x its value. $2B pays for alot of fine scotch to wipe away the taste of crow.
What Mom should be doing: - Mom disables all Google Play purchases without a password prompt. Doing their bit to ensure their child cant rack up $$$ of purchases.
The Result:
And Goggle wasn't allowing that as an option, hense the lawsuit. Glad to see you agree with the decision.
Annex Central America (the same way we annexed the midwest), and we won't have to import it either. Less tounge in cheek, let's not make our coffee supply dependant on a near depleted aquifur. We already use it for our inferior subistutes for dead dinosuaurs and sugar.
Stuarticus, I think you really don't smell what I'm stepping in. Of course there are coerced, either by propaganda or force, suicide troops. That doesn't discount that there are those who would willingly do so. With Asymetric warfare bound by rules of engagement, there are more opportunities for those individuals to elicit significant impacts that don't require high tech weapons. I agree with you that it isn't a new animal, and the media and powers that be will always exadurate it and spin it to their own ends. If you never had to pick through the chum left behind after a suicide attack, maybe it isn't real to you. Could a few speed boats packed with HME cripple a super-carrier? Sure, if the occupants weren't affraid to die, and the stars aligned. It doesn't take may suicide troops to pull off that attack.
Now does that have any bearing on hypersonic missle development, not really. As always, we are preparing to refight a previous war not the next.
God is great, but good try. The point being that there are always causes that people will happily sacrifice them self for. In many ways that is what war is on an individual level.
Worker productivity per hour has increased 400% (Fixed for Inflation) and wages have increased 200% (Fixed for Inflation). So, yes it is great that women and minorities can have opportunities, but that doesn't encapsulate the entire problem.
I get the pro-business shills, really I do. Every business must cover their cost in order to operate, and that is going to be passed to consumers. I understand that some of the people spouting this even think of themselves as “Free Market Capitalists.” Of course you aren’t, by Adam Smith’s definition of a free-market. What they are doing is anti-competitive. By obscuring what is being charged for they make it more difficult for the consumer to act with full knowledge of the market place, a basic and defining characteristic of a free market. There isn't a problem with them charging for fixed costs, or incorporating those costs into what they charge, the problem is deceptively marketing that charge. If your cost per GB is X with Vendor X and 1.10X with Vendor Y, but Vendor X add 15% overhead to their count of GB's they are more expensive then Vendor Y. This is a market inefficacy, and this is why Adam Smith called for regulation. The Neo-Con, and Tea-Party version of Free Market diverge from the classical meaning of a Free Market. If you just let everyone lie, cheat and steal, then the market’s get confused. If you regulate against anti-competitive actions, and enforce adherence you get better outcomes.
Wait a sec. You two are fighting over which outcome from the same root problem is worse? Are you are you both that shortsighted? You are on the same side. Solve the excess CO2 problem, and both out your issues resolve.
I hope he absolutely crushes Sony. And the 2.1 Million (not-well-varified number) class of people who purchased the game get some non-single-digit payout. It was a selling point for the P4, also made by Sony. They don't really have any wiggle room on any misstatement. Should he get 5MegaBucks, probably not.
Your looking at the wrong side of the encryption issue. The hardening of systems, the seperation of information and the certainty that it will fail safe (without intervention) if compromised (in the air, on the ground or after certain types of crash, but not from combat damage.) are significant issues.
I beleive they should have been, but delaying a weapon system by 2 years during a time of war was not a tenable choice for those who got to decide.
If every drug failed on the final steps of approval, and the triple net profits weren't about 7 times higher then average, maybe. Sometimes there is a moral impartive that any person (read as Corporation in this context) should take a non-maximal position in-order to limit the pain and suffering of others.
Provided they have the capital, can find appropriate unsigned talent, negotiate around any contracts put into force with the backing of monopoly power on other bussiness that support the industry, and survive the assult on all fronts by the incumbant.
It is important to note that base pay for that major is probably less then half of their total monetary compensation, and a large portion of that compensation is tax-free. BAH could be several thousand a month all by it's self.
A quick google search showed average compensation is about $101K/year
I feel the 0-4 is certainly worth it, in many respects.

Take the money and run. There is nothing in Mojang worth $2B

We have had sub $300 4TB drives for years. HDD have really stopped moving in both capacity and price.
Then only security, responsibility and privacy remain an issue.
Comcast has about 22.5 million subscribers. So if they only steal a penny a day from each one, that is $81M per anum.
To be a bit more fair, it is a streaming video service / Internet / and VOIP.
That amazes you? In a country that elected Bush 2 twice, and Obama twice? You seriously think we have an over abundance of rational people?

How about computer code that sends an encrypted "able to turn on" signal to the affected systems?
They are already paying for the premium package.
Was your encryption device strapped to the side of a transmitter?

Until there is some external pressure. Ice Age, Gamma Ray Burst, Super Bug.
it is trivially easy

Because you can employ that million dollars to receive a larger return.
