Probably? They will PROBABLY offer chase.llc to Chase? That's your whole argument, that the new owners of each and every new TLD will probably do the right thing, so we have nothing to worry about?

You realize we're going to have full character sets available, so you'll have a dozen different characters that look like the letter "a"? There will be hundreds of domain names that look like "chase" in each TLD.

And you've seen how the registrars behave right now with the existing domains? And you're still optimistic?

FTFA - "GTLDs such as .nyc, .london or .food could provide opportunities for many smaller businesses to grab names no longer available at the .com level -- like bicycles.london or indian.food.

What part of this is confusing you?

Wow, did you even read the comment you included in your reply? I am saying they will NOT buy an entire TLD. Scammers don't own the whole .com TLD - they buy _individual domains_ under existing TLDs.

Once someone registers a new .llc TLD what do you think they are going to do with it? They are going to sell domain names for $10 a year - to anyone with $10. And sooner or later someone with $10 will buy chase.llc and use it in a scam.

Again, buying an individual domain in a new TLD will not cost $185k; it will cost whatever the owner of the new TLD is charging.

But once someone DOES register .bank, will I be able to buy chase.bank from godaddy?
It's not the people registering the new TLD you have to worry about, so much as the people that they sell domain names to in the new TLD. Scammers don't need to own a whole TLD, they just need a close-enough domain in some new TLD.

We know very little about the cooling powers of the sun.

That's my new yardstick for insane figures. When someone says we spent 700 billion bailing out the financial companies, I'm going to picture 20 IBM sized companies funding 100 years of research.

WHAT FORTUNE CAN EFFECT IN HUMAN AFFAIRS AND HOW TO
WITHSTAND HER
[...]
Changes in estate also issue from this, for if, to one who governs
himself with caution and patience, times and affairs converge in such a
way that his administration is successful, his fortune is made; but if
times and affairs change, he is ruined if he does not change his course
of action. But a man is not often found sufficiently circumspect to know
how to accommodate himself to the change, both because he cannot deviate
from what nature inclines him to do, and also because, having always
prospered by acting in one way, he cannot be persuaded that it is well
to leave it; and, therefore, the cautious man, when it is time to turn
adventurous, does not know how to do it, hence he is ruined; but had he
changed his conduct with the times fortune would not have changed.

I'd assume this was a survey and data mining exercise, that they didn't assign people randomly into groups and tell them to drink specific amounts of coffee. Since the abstract doesn't mention it they may not have asked people if they drink tea or not, so the tea drinkers would be distributed among every group (some drinking coffee in different amounts as well, some drinking no coffee). It would have been interesting to see that information mined separately. I don't see how it would have muddied the water in terms of what they had set out to do originally.

Disappointing that they didn't track hot tea drinkers as well. It would be interesting to know if this was associated with generally being better hydrated, or something specific to coffee. // just switched to green tea from coffee

Or charge taxes per gallon of fuel actually consumed. Seems like it perfectly rewards people for buying less fuel already.
As a side effect it subsidizes alternative fuel and electric.

If you need more tax revenue due to more efficient vehicles - raise the tax. Duh.

You need to host this server externally (ie from home, on your own domain name, using something like dyndns). You've got no business having personal equipment inside the corporate firewall.

At best buy or sam's club you'll find a PC with a distinct model number - the manufacturer produces it just for that chain. Makes price matching more difficult and lets the chains show lower prices etc.

So you make an Amazon version of your game with a different name. Maybe "Game Lite" or something similar enough to the normal name to ensure your people can find you, but different enough that you can legitimately say it's not the same game. Maybe leave out some levels or change backgrounds. Now you can set whatever list price you want - this game has never been offered before.

Bonus - your core audience will buy this one to, so they have every version.

Just wanted to point out, he mentions that the Dell windows licenses are non-transferable. Presumably he's planning to buy retail licenses for his first generation of home-built, and those retail licenses will be transferable to the second generation.
