What do you mean it was proven wrong? It never was, and it hasn't been yet. It probably can't be. (Well, except in the sense that Newtonian Mechanics was wrong.)
Sure it was. We now understand the laws of gravity (to within a marginal percent, anyway). Orbiting bodies have orbital periods corresponding with their distance from the center body and the weight of the center body. The planets all orbit the sun, and the moon orbits the earth.
Apple was a pioneer of an accounting technique known as the “Double Irish With a Dutch Sandwich,” which reduces taxes by routing profits through Irish subsidiaries and the Netherlands and then to the Caribbean. Today, that tactic is used by hundreds of other corporations — some of which directly imitated Apple’s methods, say accountants at those companies.
Apple literally invented the technique. Others followed to compete.
Personally, I support any and all means of tax avoidance, so I don't count it against them. But I love bursting Apple Fanboys bubbles.
Oddly enough, that usually involves saying Apple didn't invent something.
Reality is that cars are far heavier now than a few decades ago due to improved safety standards: http://www.economist.com/blogs/graphicdetail/2012/08/daily-chart
Sure, race cars are both lighter and more survivable. They also cost far more. When you care about improving safety, but cost is also a constraint, weight is pretty easy to sacrifice. After all, you can always stuff a bigger engine in there so the car won't be slower than last year's model.
The tests are too easy. 5-star isn't safe, just better than pinto. The real tests should be reset so that the S gets 3 stars. Then watch everyone else get 1 star for the next 10 years. Eventually, people will build to the new 5-star, and we'll all be safer.
Also, cars will then weigh about 6500 lbs for a coupe, up to 8000 for an SUV.
Huh, funny that, the REAL voter fraud was only switching votes from Dem to Pub, but the claims of switching votes from Pub to Dem have no such evidence, only spurious claims. My guess it that some fucktard racist white assholes decided to lie and stir up some shit; the alternative explanation is that they were too stupid to press a button.
Remember Florida?
Stop being such a frightened coward. Be a man and accept that there are risks in life. You simply cannot stop suicide bombers. Most of them don't have a Facebook page for your friends to monitor. They may not have an internet connection at all and certainly don't have a smartphone.
Some of us value liberty, value not being watched by law enforcement agents every second of our lives to see if we might be breaking some law or might secretly be planning to blow up the white house. Do you have no understanding of the sort of freedom this country was founded on?
Pff, shows what you know! The NSA/TSA/DHS have already stopped hundreds of thousands of terrorist plots based on monitoring our communication!
In all fairness, Google was in favor of net neutrality before they became evil. Things are different on the dark side.
As John Kerry might say, they actually were for it before they were against it.
If by 10 seconds,
to say a car is "a 10 second car" means it takes 10 seconds to go from 0 KPH to 100 KPH. If you have trouble with that measurement, please stop talking about cars now.
Eh, there's plenty of people that use it to refer to the quarter mile. E.g.: 2013 Nissan GT-R is a 10 Second Car! refers to the quarter mile, as the car takes 2.7 seconds to get to 60 MPH. Nevertheless, it was pretty obvious from context what your reference was.
'Whom' is archaic. Only pedants use it, and that has been true for a couple hundred years at least. Do you also insist on "thou" as a second-person pronoun? Do you complain that "curse" and "horse" are unacceptable bastardizations of "cuss" and "hoss"?
As a grammar nazi myself, I advise you to let this one go. The language is better without 'whom', and speakers have long since left it behind.
ur right also we shud get rid of of speling punctionn an gramer as there not needed in modern languag
I believe the authors should get exactly the same type of protection I do on their livelihood. I get paid hourly, once I have completed an hour of work I will never be paid for that same hour again. Why should it be different for someone who makes something copyrighted? I am not able to obtain any future royalties on the ethernet cables I install today, and the end customer gets full control of them to do whatever they want. They will never have to compensate me further if they want to move them, re-terminate them, sell them, or put data signals accross them. Once I've installed them, and they've paid me, we're done and I no longer have any say whatsoever in what they do. Authors created work for thousands of years before copyright was invented. I don't see them stopping even if copyright were to vanish altogether.
Under your scenario, the author would not be paid while not working on a book. Seems fair. But who exactly pays the author while he's working on a book? The consumer, who doesn't get anything until it's completed, or a publisher? A publisher certainly wouldn't have any incentive, since anyone else could publish the book without paying the author a cent once it's finished. That leaves the consumers, who may not want to spend money until they can have a product in hand, by which time in your scenario they would not have any obligation to pay the author, anyway.
Ok, 30 minutes go by - they have screened all their crap and finally the splash screen for the feature presentation.
30 minutes after the scheduled start time? Over exaggerate much? What the hell theater do you go to? Every movie I've gone to it's maybe 7 minutes after the start time. Sure there are ads before the start time but it's not like you're strapped in your seat with your eyes pinned open all Robot Chicken style being forced to watch them. Also they aren't that loud.
I just watched Pacific Rim at a Regal theater this weekend. Scheduled start time was 7:40. That's when they started showing previews instead of general ads. The movie started at 8:00.
