Marketshares. All the manufacturers not named Apple or Samsung combined don't add up to the market share of Apple or Samsung. The big guys could go after the little guys for something most likely, it's just not worth the time/money (if it hasn't already been licensed in some manner).

Are the credentials to a website property of the website? Or of the user?

Or, if you steal the complete password file/database/whatever of a site, and your password is one of the many you obtained, is that considered a stolen password still?

How do we know they are mutually exclusive of each other?

I forget, what does the D in DLC stand for?

Or you could just go here instead of searching (not that it took much to find it.)

Of the list of companies, I only recognized Amprobe, Fluke, Textronix, and Matco. But I don't really work in most of those industries where the other companies are better known.

$326k is the national ad rate. Local rate is 1/2 that if not more. There are 215 CBS affiliates (14 of which are O&O by CBS). Local ad rates go to support the station operating expenses, which does include fees that go up to the national network. But it's not as if BBT or CBS national get that ad money directly. So you really can't factor in what you computed as the $65m.

They each got .25% residuals (yes, 1/4 of 1%) of the residuals. I would presume that includes syndication among other things.

So $3m/episode for the main stars. The other stars aren't making anywhere near that, and factoring in production costs, say we double the amount to $6m. Average show has 8 minutes of commercials and presuming 30-second ads, that's $375k/commercial (or probably less)

Coincidentally, ads were $326k last fall so my $6m/episode may not be that outlandish.

This also doesn't factor in any other money they make from merchandise sales, syndication ($1.5m/episode several years ago), and "goodwill" for other shows that BBT attract viewers too.

Microsoft has the same idea for Windows 9, as well as GM for next year's model numbers. Get as much bad press as possible with the current product, and people will flock to you when the next one comes out.

That sound about right?

I had the same issue and in my case, it really didn't matter. It was budgeted that I should attend a conference, it didn't matter which one. If I didn't go, then I get dinged on my performance review for not "continuing my education through training opportunities."

US sales tax which doesn't exceed 10% anywhere.

No individual location has a state tax exceeding 10%, but depending on what is being purchased and where it's being purchased, there may be an additional tax beyond just the general sales tax that applies, driving the price up. Local governments usually can add a percent or two to the state rate. Alcohol, tobacco also get a "sin tax" added, as does lodging, transportation rentals, and restaurants pushing them well above 10%.

You're right. Who would think that they were stating facts when they say things that are clearly opinions like "Sometimes the facts are pretty scary."

I think Taiwan has airports. I actually had in mind all those islands that are in territory dispute with Japan. But regardless of which island it is and what country claims that island, they do exist.

Why are they building giant amphibious cargo planes today? Who has that need?

Locations that need cargo quickly but can't be timely serviced by road, rail, or conventional aircraft? Perhaps island communities that don't have space for a runway but need things quicker than what a cargo ship could provide.

He is simply pointing out the great difference between Indiegogo and kickstarter, where in the former if you miss project target funding, you may still keep all funding without delivering anything to funders.

Or in the latter where if you make your project target funding, you may still keep all funding without delivery anything to funders.
