Had a friend that was in Shanghai for about a year. Worked for Rockwell. So a US/Canana/UK based company that has a Beijing office might be your best shot.

That was my exact situation, in 1997. Unemployment had caused me to fall behind on the student loan. Needed a transcript for the new job. Called them. Funny enough "let me have a transcript so I can get the job that will result in you getting paid back" seemed reasonable to them too.

Microsoft would never use the newly acquired patents to force companies to stop using them. They would use the newly acquired patents to force companies to pay a fee to use them. Specifically, they would suggest to Google that they should license the SSL patent for use in Chrome.

Of course the NSA does NOT have the ability to do what Congress asked the general about. If they had that ability, they wouldn't need to build the Utah data center. Once the data center is complete, they'll have the ability. Just not right now.

Just wondering when Microsoft sues the NSA for patent infringement for using Android.

I'll chime in with the T-Mobile people. The biggest problem with T-Mobile is their coverage. However, you should easily be able to tell if it is going to be a problem for you. In my case, it isn't, but many coworkers that live in more rural areas have problems. I have a cheaper android phone, purchased unlocked from Newegg, with data turned off. I have the T-Mobile pay-as-you-go SIM-only plan. Buy the minutes $100 at a time, because then they don't expire for a year. Otherwise, it is generally 90 days. At home and work I have wireless access (along with most places I go). So I only miss the full data plan once or twice a year, and it certainly isn't worth the price difference to get it.

Only because their show got cancelled.

And my mod points just expired. Darn.

TFA states that they are seeking compensation from Lockheed. Hopefully, that'll happen without an actual suit.

Let us not forget that ALS is a Diagnosis of Exclusion. Rule everything else out, and it's the only thing left. Also means if doctors do find a definitive test for ALS, some patients previously diagnosed with ALS might have to be re-diagnosed.
