   There is a theory that falconry developed in part because birds of prey will first eat the nutritious parts of prey (i.e. the spinal cords, marrow, organs, etc.) leaving the muscle for the very last. Since humans largely prefer the muscle,

   Acidification is not "purposely alarmist", it is the accurate scientific description of what is happening. pH is logarithmic, so "slightly moving towards neutral" is actually a huge relative change. If anything, the &qu

    Respectfully, unless you have a letter from Delta legal, I find it very hard to believe that they wouldn't bring action. Even assuming, arguendo, that your right, it's a waste of investor dollars to prove that in court. This would

    I look forward to the day that the tech industry realizes not everyone is on (or can get access to) an unlimited broadband connection. The modern ad-filled web is devistating if you're not on broadband. A site like iMore (I think Grube

    Respectfully, while this is true in some areas, it is absolutely not true across the US that they are null and void, nor is it necessarily true that the inclusion of a non-compete will have a bearing on severability.
