This is how a corporation goes to heaven: First a hedge fund manager takes out a short term high interest loan from a bank through a shell corporation, then approaches the corporation's executive management and proposes [...insert references to stuff that sounds illegal but still boring as hell...] ... and since he's the first in line to get paid, he takes his management fees out and walks away with 10% of the initial loan value after the corporation has laid everyone off and entered the afterlife.

Were slaveowners ashamed of themselves for getting free labor? Probably not, but being "ashamed of yourself" isn't really a relevant question to pose to people who are proud of what they did.

Because Keith Moon is dead.

Your stuff's cargo container was not heated during shipping. If it was stacked below the deck line, where it was not exposed to the sun, it didn't reach 55C during the journey.

Arthur Anderson was primarily an accounting and auditing firm. The entire reason that firm existed was to be trustworthy. If people can't trust the auditors, they blame it on instructions coming down from the top that said "anything for a buck comes before an accurate audit." So there was no way to trust the rest of the firm wasn't uninfected with the same corruption that led to Enron.

At Green Mountain, the decision to put DRM into coffee came from the top. While it doesn't translate the same way to the line workers, the trust in the company was similarly lost by their clients.

And yes, people might lose their retirement savings. Employees often have a lot invested in company stock. And if Green Mountain has a pension plan, those employees are at risk as well.

What would be ironic is if Green Mountain collapsed, but other players in the marketplace continued to thrive while using the K-cup (1.0, of course) as a de facto standard.

> They were also able to precisely track a virtual reality headset with the same precision.

One does not "precisely track" a VR headset with two centimeter resolution. I'll guess that they continued to use the IMU tracking that is built into the Samsung Gear VR, and they used it to display the tracking of external objects that were measured with two centimeter resolution.

FOIA requests can be used for targeted denial of service attacks, yes. Look at what this chick is doing to a public library: http://dc.uwm.edu/cgi/viewcont... She's just a dumb blonde (look at her kooky museum tour videos) but she's still managed to deluge the library with hundreds of FOIA requests (demanding shit like "all the data produced on all employees' computers over the past year", etc.) She's a lone kook not even employed by a major industry, and the library has to hire two full time employees just to respond to her FOIA requests. If they are legally required to respond to them, most small research teams would easily be shut down by a torrent of FOIA requests coming from deep-pocketed industries.

Well, one specific reason is that the legislation has been designed to allow any nutjob out there to shut down any government-funded research they don't like by harassing scientists with thousands of FIOA requests.

Carly spouted off on Saturday about net neutrality, and claimed that it was forced down our throats by lobbyists from Verizon and Comcast.

And she says this as a former CEO of HP. I hope her campaign fails soon because her voice gives me faceslapping injuries.

This is what Carly Fiorina said about net neutrality two days ago:

I think my grandmother could have done a better job running HP.

She beamed down to the Lord of the Flies planet and almost died.

Scotty was killed in an episode, but then brought back to life.

They were going to play off the sexual tension between her and Kirk and have this simmering but never acted upon kind of thing between them. I wonder if she had remained in the series would Kirk have become the space-slut he's famous for?

A carload of Christians must have pulled up and busted some down-mods into this post. The guy uses British spelling but he's absolutely correct. Organizing a "Jesus sodomizing Mary" contest in Texas would be a suicide attempt.

Tell me about it! I live in Utah.
