Imagine this headline:
DC Comics donates statue for murdered boy's grave site.

That statue would cost less than the lawyer's fees for this fiasco and a hell of a lot less than a full page ad in the New York Times, but would get them 10x the goodwill.

Uzi Nissan, of Nissan computer fame has been paying the price for years for daring to be born with a name that was later copyrighted.

For the record, they use a hosting provider called SourceDNS, or so the internets claim... (though I cannot find such a provider). If Nissan.com computer is still up, your theotherjohnsmith.totallynotmelgibson.disneyisthenameofadifferentcompany.biz.info is totally safe

The truth is, "Management" has a job which is largely "be an employee" eg. Their job is to organize and think about and fine tune the company and team.
non-management has a job which is "Make, sell, process, or manufacture widgets." eg. write code, process loans, sell tires, whatever.

There is always an imbalance. Management naturally gravitates toward more and more of an employee's job entailing "being an employee" whereas non-management seem to universally prefer that as little as possible of their working hours be consumed with non-occupational "being an employee" tasks.

We used email so much that email is now so high-volume and meaningless... I know "High priority" flags will solve all of our problems.

Ok now 500 "high priority" emails a day are received and unanswered for each employee.

Corporate Instant messenger! Sametime, Microsoft Office Communicator, Lync... Our problems are solved! Now we can side-step email, since it always goes unanswered.

I know! people love checking facebook, lets set up a corporate newsfeed that is totally the same!

because most Ikea furniture is incompatible with optical mice (even higher-end high DPI ones). at least that is why I still use them.

oh gotcha, yeah MAME will do MvC2 if you spend a weekend matching versions and fiddling with configs, depending on your hardware, but good luck with MvC3. I vastly prefer Steam ports to MAME, since they are so much more polished, and hassle free, but yeah... they don't want your money, apparently.

MvC2 is on xbox live arcade and playstation store, I have it on dreamcast (as well as a proper port of Xmen vs Street fighter the reason I bought dreamcast), MvC3 has two different Editions on PS3 and XBox360

"It wanted plastic"

The only way to stop Koch brothers and various BribeLaunderingPacs from throwng hundreds of millions of dollars at elections is for it to cease to be cost-effective to do so. The first time money doesn't make a difference, it will no longer be an issue. Free flow of information is a significant step.

300 million "average" people each donating as much as they possibly can afford, cannot even hope to match the BribePac power of a single Walton or Koch.

It is 100% fruitless to attempt to fight them on this arena, the only thing we can hope to do is defeat them with unlimited free press (via the internet)... which is a huge longshot, but at least it isn't mathematically impossible,

The fact that they had a high rate of conversion (i.e. they digested the plant instead of passing it) it is reasonable to assume that they were ADAPTED to eating veggies, which means it was part of the reason they survived/evolved.

Finding veggies in stool is no big deal, wild cats poop out grass all the time, it doesn't make them true omnivores.

They found DIGESTED vegetable matter, that is the true find, and one that easily extrapolates across the entire species.

More like "Are you a boy? Great, enjoy the 900,000 year head-start.

Use Acid-free paper and just print it out. If you want to be more clandestine and secure, then print out the information about the accounts and the credentials in two separate places. Like for instance:
Fed-ex the unlabeled passwords
USPS the un-passworded accounts list

The truth is, if you put it on a thumb drive, it might fail. If you put it on a CD it might fail (or 3 years from now, your grandma's iBookPro won't be able to read a CD).

As humans, we read paper documents that were created 100 years ago. It is a reliable data mechanism that is predictable and will out-live you for sure.

Plus it doesn't require that your executor be a cryptography nerd in order to make sure your wishes are followed.

Not to mention consumer confidence. If Google/MS has consumers convinced that their phone is *safe* people will trust it with more and more stuff. It is the same reason the best antivirus out there for windows is free from microsoft, they realized consumer confidence is very very powerful.

If your phone is also your credit card and your medical records, and your financial planner, etc etc, well that is just more data for them to monetize.

not to mention, converting so much electricity to heat also increases the power consumption of the #1 current draw, the A/C.

2014 Corolla - Edmunds.com TCO = $35,728
2014 Prius - Edmunds.com TCO = $35,727

(Edmunds TCO includes gasoline, repairs, financing, taxes, insurance, maintenance, etc for 5 years)

With savings like that, why the heck aren't people lining up out the door for the Prius?? I mean, 1 dollar over 5 years... that is like 20 cents a year, IN YOUR POCKET. Cash money, man.

**To be fair, there is almost a 3800 dollar TCO advantage for camry hybrid vs camry base model... but 760 dollars a year isn't exactly going to drop a lot of panties.
