I don't think so only because the auto manufactures are deeply ingrained in the used car industry. They use the trade in to up-sell a new car and they use the certified pre own program make money as well. Certainly they don't own 100% of the market but they own enough for it to be profitable.

$440 Million for the development environment and cost of serving the apps? I doubt it.

When I lease the line it becomes my property, the same when I lease an apartment. The landlord can't come in with out my express permission unless it is a great emergency and I expect my ISP to act the same way.

The judge isn't going after Trudeau, your ire needs to be directed to the prosecutor. It is their job to push the case forward. This judge is upset because

and this is clearly Contempt of Court.

Please let it be an early April Fools' Day joke.

Nextel was headquartered in Reston, VA and as far as I know it was Nextel who was pushing the 4G network Before the merger. That would explain why the test cities are more focused on the east coast.

You can find the 4G coverage on the sprint site, it just requires a bit more digging.

From there open "Data, Email and Multimedia" then click on Sprint Devices with 4G.

Here is the coverage info for their 4G service.

Thankfully I live near Baltimore.

The private copying levy is distributed as per the Copyright Board's allocation as: 66% to eligible authors and publishers,18.9% to eligible performers and 15.1% to eligible record companies.

I may be wrong but aren't the Record Companies the Publishers?

I think you are confusing selling pot and coke to the local HS/college kids and selling crack on the streets.

The individual selling pot and coke to HS/college kids is selling almost exclusively to friends and friends of friends. He carefully cultivates his contacts and (should) act in a business like manner. He buys from some other low level dealer and makes that kind of profit because they are the only game in town.

Selling on the street is way different. It's gang work mostly. To make one sale you have 4 to 6 people involved. 1) The person who takes the order 2) the runner who takes the order back to the safe house 3) the second runner who takes the drugs from the safe house 4) the money collector 5) the person who makes the final drop off. Each person in that chain needs to get paid along with the rest of the gang.

Then you have the risks. There are two big risks for the college kid: Cops and getting killed when he goes into the city to pick up his supply. The street dealer has many more. 1) Rival Gangs are always looking to cut into the turf, find safe houses to raid. 2) Inter gang politics 3) "Clients" killing over their next fix 4) Getting busted by the cops.

So yea if you are living the suburban dream selling pot and coke will pay the fancy bills while you get your MBA.

Hail to the Thief came out in 2003 and In Rainbows came out in 2007. So for four years they had to live off their earnings from Hail to the Thief and it would be a logical assumption that it would be four more years till they come out with their next album. There are five members to Radiohead so they made aprox 1.2 Million per person Gross. Any good business should be able to pull 30% profit. So lets guess they each made a net profit of $360,000 for four years or $90,000 a year FOR MAKING FUCKING MUSIC. This doesn't include shirts, buttons, ect or live shows. If OK GO can make even half that, I think they should feel privileged.

So if you break the contract after 120 days your cost of ownership would be $179 inital price + $200 etf for a total of $379 or a $150 discount. Not a bad deal.

Ugg I hate it when I spend all day customizing my linux kernel and those IT scumbags can't debug it for me. How many other people have trouble authenticating with the exchange server? or is having WAN latency issues? My guess, few to none. If you want to run software that the rest of the company doesn't run, expect to do your own IT support and helpdesk.

That is freaking hilarious! I bet you are a dick everyday about problems you create and they have found a way to just fuck with you.

I would have to agree. I am a PHP developer for a small Design Company and I work on these types of sites on a daily basis. Out of all the sites I have created I have only used one CMS, Wordpress, and it was a nightmare to train the end user. There were a ton of menus and the majority of options she never used. Granted Wordpress is significantly more robust but in the end do you want your $tech_inept_end_user mucking about so much. My clients love the products I develop because I make it as simple and user proof as possible. I would keep that in mind when looking at open source cms.

Wow what a testament to Google. Mark Cuban is basically saying that nobody has a product that could even hope of competing with Google and the only way to conceivably take them down is to bribe their clients with gobs of money.
