Perhaps they could check with colleagues from older agencies that used to do the same kind of work.

I wonder what the Stasi and the Gestapo did to bolster employee morale.

"Researchers" were contacted by.. uh.. well.. the Museum... developed a "methodology" for the "experiment" after the fact, then based their definitions and metrics on an assessment program developed in conjunction with ... another museum.

Solid!. No way this is just another case of confirmation bias.

There were 24 works. 24 * 80k = 1.92m.

How is $1.2m the maximum penalty available under the law for this case, when back in 2009, Capitol vs Thomas, a jury awarded $1.92m to Capitol?

Even at $1.92m, that was NOT the highest they could have gone either, the judge established that each infringement would be penalized at $80k, down from a maximum of $150k per instance!

That would have worked out to $3.6m.

Why weren't AFP et al penalized per infraction, vs having a cap for the whole incident?

Their "new", great iPhone has been out for less than a month, with their latest super high tech, hyper hyped "secure" technology and a relatively trivial hack has already been published. We'll have teens with chewing gum hacking TouchID next, and yet, Apple fan bois will still continue to hype and buy Apple substandard, over priced technology.

I have worked out an elegant solution that can be collapsed to only 88 dimensions, where infinitesimally small unbound super strings made of pure dark energy are curled up in tiny unobservable sub-plank scale vibrating loops that create immeasurable gravity-like dark froth along the alignment axis.

- we did assassinate people, directly or through proxies, just a few high profile targets there for you:

- we did torture people, it was done so routinely that we even had a handbook:

- our normal state *is* war. i could not find a 40 year gap when we were at peace since the 1800s:

i laugh when any of my fellow 'murikans asks tear eyed "why do they hate us?".

we have been busy exerting violence, exporting torture, destabilizing democracies, sponsoring terror and exploitation
through brutal dictatorships, forcing our corporate interests by military means on everyone, on every continent.

we, as a people, are compassionate, inventive, giving and law abiding, our governing class is amoral, tyrannical and malevolent.

While they're at it, could they also do some work on hypergamy?
Maybe *gasp* come up with a cure or at least some treatment?

This condition afflicts the great majority of woemn in the U.S.
Some you know suffers from it..

What a wonderful compliant, obedient little boy the Scouts helped you become!

I'd prefer my kid to be more defiant and incredulous of authority and status quo,
and to consider that sometimes great corruption demands extreme measures to
correct it and sometimes one must disobey and rebel in a disorderly manner.

Washington, Revere and Franklin would probably make awful little scouts.

Why Ubuntu would even care to target mobile phones makes a lot of sense now. This could give Ubuntu an unfair advantage over Android.
