IANAL but I believe since Escape Media Group is incorporated they can fine the company but not the employees/owners of the company. To get anything from them they would have to pursue them separately.

That was my first thought as well. IBM Global Services was formed in 1992.

That's because most people with great ideas are bad at business. Creative types tend to shun business models for catwalk models. They can't be burdened with the task of actually running a business. There are notable exceptions but for most if they don't partner with an MBA/CPA the business is doomed.

You're the guy that tells children Santa isn't real and explains magic tricks to spoil the illusion aren't you?

I read the headline and envisioned several AA planes being slowly fed into a meat grinder.

In cases that have the potential to go sideways where two or more parties are involved the hospital/doctor/professional should be required to have the outcome spelled out, codified, and notarized. And if and when one party changes their mind...tell them tough! This was a monumental decision and once it was made it was set. Please leave your "but what if" one offs at the door because they are just that...rare occurrences. They can be addressed when they occur.

While I don't disagree with you completely I would point out a strategically placed set of healthy, mature oak or pecan trees will significantly reduce the internal temp of the house during the day. It does wonders for my house although I still wouldn't give up the HVAC. And if you live in any of the drier areas a swamp/everaporative fan can cool a house quite nicely.

Disney (they own ESPN) has always negotiated the contract such that if you want to purchase ESPN you must purchase ALL of ESPN's channels. Oh, and if you offer it on your base tier package then you must offer all of it on the base tier package.

Don't like it? Fine no Disney/ABC/ESPN channels for you! And no Marvel or Star Wars titles. And no Muppets while we're at it. You want to tell your kid he can't watch Disney because YOU wouldn't pay for ESPN Classic?

As Tomhath stated your suggestion is still not cost effective. If it were they would be using it extensively in West Texas wind farms. As it is now they routinely shunt generated electricity straight to ground because the grid cannot handle the capacity being generated. For costs to come down production and operating costs need to become more efficient. Perhaps Tesla's program will be able to do that.

You can't train an employee to care about someone else's data. If you make them take the course they will. They might even retain some of the message but when it comes time to put it into action it better not be more complex than pressing a button cause something else more important is calling their names.

I wasn't even aware the creator of QT had been incarcerated.

Cool box but really bad design. This guy was able to fix all of the heat problems for ~$15

I'm averaging less than $50 month for two lines at Ting.

My guess is the Microsoft tax is not in play here. Intel is most likely installing Windows 8.1 with Bing which is free for low end hardware. Unless you consider the need for beefier hardware than Linux part of the tax that is.
