It's not a 1.0000 pie. It's more like TotalRevenueInDollars / NumberOfSongsStreamed. I don't know the exact numbers of course, but I'm pretty sure that Spotify is not earning $1.00 per song streamed.

If a person agrees to work for a company for a certain wage and continues to work for that company, how is that person "underpaid"?

It's a pretty small sample size, but virtually everyone I know that doesn't work in IT fits this description. Tablets and phones are perfect for checking e-mail and Facebook and playing a few games, and in my experience that's all the majority of people care about. It's certainly helped with my free time lately as no one call me any longer with, "Why won't my computer boot up?" questions.

"(1) No pilot may take off a U.S.-registered civil aircraft (except a free balloon that incorporates a basket or gondola, or an airship type certificated before November 2, 1987) unless the pilot in command of that aircraft ensures that each person on board is briefed on how to fasten and unfasten that person's safety belt and, if installed, shoulder harness."

This includes all PICs, including those that are private pilots.

I think it was on the Weekend Update segment.

Tweaked my nose? What are you talking about? Dexter is a show that had some good moments and even seasons, but overall it was a a bad show - the horrible far outweighed the great.

I "have no basis to judge anything related to it"?!? I watch TV, and have a reasonable critical mind, so that gives me all the "basis" I need. However, I read the first Dexter novel, which was decent, but the show obviously didn't follow the novel exactly. No show should follow it's source material to the letter. Look at The Walking Dead, which does follow major plot points of the graphic novel, but takes liberties where they think it's necessary. It remains to be seen if The Walking Dead falls into the same trap that Dexter did, but for now, it's at least as good as the first three season of Dexter.

I have the kind of sophistication that makes me realize that it had three good seasons (1, 2, and 4), and a few very good episodes early in season 7, but otherwise was pretty much crap. I assume that you're talking about a different kind of sophistication.

Or the writer of a decent show to watch Dexter.

Back to the Future

The excuse for "bad physics becoming a pivotal plot point" is always story. If it serves the story, do it. I'd much rather watch a hugely entertaining film like Gravity with a few inaccuracies than one that gets the physics absolutely correct but suffers because of it. Whenever I watch a film that is not a pure documentary and set on/above Earth, I just imagine it's in a universe similar to ours, but has differences that just happen to help the plot. It is just entertainment, after all.

You can always disable that key, or as at least one of my friends has done, remove the physical key from they keyboard.

He just verified the statement with the NSA.

Because they can charge $4 for the 32 oz. "Small" soda. The actual soda costs pennies, so it doesn't matter much if they serve you 20 oz or 32 oz, they just want you to pay $4 for a soda. It's the same reason restaurants charge $20 for a meal that no average person could finish. They have a minimum they want you to spend, and as long as people keep paying for it, you end up with more soda/popcorn/food than is consumable.

Like it or not, studios are out to make money, not great movies. For all they're concerned, every movie could be a Chipmunks sequel.

That's my point. The movie is attempting to tackle a societal issue using futuristic technology - the premise at least is not "explosion porn". Whether or not is succeeds at tackling that is irrelevant to my statement.
