   This would absolutely help many companies. I saw this first hand at a company that I worked for. For accounting, you take the receipt and file an expense report. That goes into quickbooks. Then you get the credit card statement and have to

   What does it mean to be mobile? Do projectionists hop into a car and drive from theatre to theatre kicking off movies?

   Junk bonds are not a pyramid scheme. Junk bonds are really high yield bonds, and they were perfectly useful and successful in unwinding the strange corporate conglomerations made during the 60's and 70's. Even if they were a pyramid scheme,

   I'm just saying that his idea here should not be evaluated by a comparison to a group of people that he isn't even a member of. I do like the two axis chart though.

    I'm not sure why you are writing about the Heritage Foundation or "Conservatism": Milton Friedman is a classic liberal ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_liberalism ), so it's a strange vicarious ad hominem attack. His laissez-faire i

    Amazon seems to charge sales tax based on where the goods are shipped to, not where they are shipped from: "Items sold by Amazon.com LLC, or its subsidiaries, and shipped to destinations in the states of Kansas, Kentucky, New York, North Da

    I am having trouble picturing an agile legal methodology. Release early and release often is pretty much the exact opposite of what I would want in legal services...

    There is a middle ground between bailout and a liquidation - a bankruptcy reorganization. It would probably wipe out the shareholders and the debt holders, and some jobs and factories, but a lot of GM and its brands and factories would live

    In fact rediscovery can be indicative of utility of the patent, which is a requirement too.

    There are lots of patents on car parts, for example intermittent wipers or a way of connecting the door to the frame of the car. I'm pretty sure Lamborghini has a few patents like that around.

    I'm not sure that this is a great example, because it muddies the difference between trademarks, copyrights, and patents (i.e. there may be issues with all three here, and maybe the biggest issue is on the trademark side).

    I agree that the numbers reflect the model. But there is no way that the model can fit reality that well. So it is a misleading number.

    I'm still going to use electoral-vote.com to track the election, because it is so much easier to see who is going to win and to check out the map. The stats are of course interesting, but isn't it insane to have a "win percentage" down to t
