Partnering with office was defensive. It wasn't going to make Microsoft money but it would prevent the killer doc application starting on Apple. Look at graphic editing for example in which softie didn't preempt competition well.

it has round corners now.

This isn't a party issue its far more fundamental.

So some low level employees flagged several organizations for ... What checks are in place to make sure this did not happen and who is ultimately responsible for these checks? Are those people still there?

Not more to say. But thats a good thing

Most genes are on the order of a thousand base pairs. While not insignificant in number, why not just patent all combinations? Whats preventing an organization from patenting all possible 100 base pair combinations? If someone adds a thousand basepairs onto one of your sequences, you can claim they violate your rights.

There was a time when a post like this would get 800 fish on the hook.

Thing is, people don't care as much about the desktop - especially the younger readers.

Objects in Mirror are closer than they appear.

Since this agreement transcends corporations, can a class action suite be filed when not if abuse of citizens legally using paid for services is exposed in this cabal?

Who is liable?

Why are Leukemia, prostrate and ovary cancer happening at a significantly (measurable) higher rate in Colorado? It's not a fair question just as the original post's strawman is invalid. The level in Colorado isn't safe because it's natural. Given the slightly better lifestyles measurable in lower obesity rates, one would 'expect' Colorado to be slightly better than average except for melanoma because of the thinner atmosphere/UV radiation.

Would media covering bad places to live ever of that nature be tolerated excluding political motivation or a disaster event? There is a consistency in how information is filtered. There is a natural tendency for the media to keep a wet finger in the air to know which way the wind is blowing. The blowback from standing against the wind and being wrong is far riskier than standing with the wind and the wind being wrong.

It sometimes help to substitute the word 'music' which people assumes means the $1 paid for concept on their ipad presorted by large corporations with the word 'culture' which is a part of the fabric of their community.

If you really look at it, that's what is at stake.

Sextus Empiricus could have told us that 1750 years sooner if he had a mouse, a rat, a spare horse and a thousand-yard mine shaft.

Wow, two launches in one day. That's amaz..

Nevermind.

US pennies made before 1982 are mostly copper with a current melt down (illegal) value of $0.02 each. Post 1982, the content is 95+% zinc.

My family has had a ranch in the mountains for about 100 years within line of sight of a military airport in more recent years.

The B17 and other wreckage there was horrible, uncommon and yet eventual.

You won't see those pictures on the Internet.

That's why you have the manager sign off on the requirements and functional specification. He can change his mind (and often does as a company better understands the market) but the cost is then his responsibility which he can balance with the potential reward in his decision and communicate a justification to stake holders. If you just make the box, the responsibility is then fairly yours. How was the manager to know the cost of his decision?
