Aside from its strategic military position, the island is famous for its massive annual crab migration, where over 100 million of red crabs make their way across the island to spawn in the ocean. That's notable because the tech giant has applied for environmental approvals to build a subsea cable connecting the 135-square-kilometer island to Darwin, where US Marines are stationed for six months each year.


What does that have to do with the price of tea in China? Also, TIL that US Marines are stationed in Darwin, Australia 6-months out of the year...

Thank you. I had heard that on the "Titans of Nuclear" podcast and was fascinated. Reading the derivation was even or fascinating.

Don't you get sick of hearing this? These people have never read a Supreme Court decision. They're rarely about what the headlines state. I believe they didn't hear the case because there doesn't seem to be any contention in the Federal Circuit (yet). It's a single Circuit (1st) that basically had a tie vote. This needs to be heard by the lower courts again and in a different circuit.

FINALLY...someone gets it! BIG DONUT (not to be confused with BIG DOUGHNUT and DONUT HOLE) is ruining this country. Who is going to stop them?

I'm in Germany...financial services company...3 months minimum notice period. From Officer through VP. MD and above...not sure. It's similar across all of Europe. I just hired in Poland in November. Start date had to be February because they had to give 3 months notice as well.

I was shocked at the price of that CPU - then again I haven't purchased a CPU since I bought a PIII back in 2000/2001 to build my own machine.

Thank you for a comment with content. Unlike mine, but you know what, I don't care because yours was actually informative.

It's a lot like D&D - character sheets, parties, etc...

In Italy it's called calcio. AC Milan stands for Associazione Calcio Milan. Italy, 4x World Cup Winner and probably one of the most fanatical soccer countries, doesn't call it football. Soccer is a British English word, BTW.

I've seen these UPS trikes in Munich, Germany as well. While we're not quite as gray and wet as Seattle, we're still not the sunniest place. Granted, there are a metric ass load of bike lanes for these to use and being able to get right up to the building makes it a lot easier.

Well, their QA caught it -- but why did it take so long. One would think that once the line has been re-tooled and the units are going through assembly that each station is checked for spec.

I wonder if they're being sent to the crusher as is, or if they're being stripped down and parts (seats, radio, stuff like that) are being reused?

It's not like this would've been a high priority for Qualcomm and over those 5 years i'm quite certain these weren't daily Thomas Crowne-intense meetings.

Wasn't there a section of preferences called "esoteric settings" which gave you some really focused control on mailbox behavior and the like.

Thank you. I noticed that immediately when I read the synopsis - surprised that it took this long before someone commented on it!
