I'd say we split middle class into groups, and the meat processor might be something like 'lower middle', while a professional would be 'upper middle'.

Super cool. Wondering if the prices are the same for original art as for the artist generated works.

Linus is probably a brilliant engineer, but he could learn some lessons in leadership from Mr. Hoare.

In a former life, projects were paid for either from 'expense' or 'capital expenditure' buckets. Investors like expenses to be low as possible, but capital expenditure is investment in the future. Managers were always tr

I'd love to continue this but I have garbage collection to attend to.

Interesting question -- googled this which answers it pretty well: Additionally, unless the slogan is in itself inherently distinctive and qualifies as a mark in itself, the USPTO requires that the slogan be identified with the product or s

Wrong. If you owned 10% your voting power: 100% - big shots share: 37.6 + directors share: 61.4% == 1%. So your 10% share = .1% voting power. They said as much in the IPO: >> New investors will fully share in Google's long term ec

Did miss something? I thought Oracle was claiming copyright infringement on Java code related to APIs and for patent infringement on specific techniques. Are they seriously claiming that use of the Java language itself is subject to copyri

I'm calling false dichotomy on this. Continue to lobby the government AND influence the influencers.

Agreed, but this is a major building-block in that it allows evildoers to make multiple trips through security to deliver small amounts of items without detection.
