In theory they are right. Basing your decision on counting these comments is as scientific as online polls. My guess is that they're obligated to accept comments; lobbyists from both sides have already made all the points and the deci

"...or about $36,000 at current exchange rates" Not enough to make up for having every spy agency on your back. Is there a realistic way to get the funds free and clear even if NSA /FBI /CIA / et al are on your tr

Everybody’s got their own priorities. In terms of improving the state of humanity, I don’t see the direct connection. I guess it’s fun, because you shoot rockets up in the air. But it’s not an area that I’ll be putting money into That&#x2

None of that matters. China is spending hundreds of billions to "support" several countries. In reality to own those countries and to bring business back to China. In corrupt countries about 10-20% of the total is going to the eli

Non competes should be: Upon leaving you cannot work for a competitor BUT, only if we offer to pay you the salary you had when you left. And only for a max of 1-3 years. Otherwise they should be illegal.

IMHO, major wars will only happen somewhere in Asia...between China, Russia, India and Pakistan (all nuclear powers). They all have border issues are relatively large countries and China and India have potential to be local superpowers. Chi

Maybe, but I doubt the next major war will involve tens of millions of soldiers occupying and then rebuilding a country, ala WWII.

They'd be no incentive to upgrade otherwise. XP is 16 years old! Microsoft is in a tough spot, this was a worldwide problem so they had no choice. They should make the support contracts for old version quadruple in price for every year

the victims could still use pirated Windows to run their native Windows applications. I doubt there would be any legal repercussions. When...a month after ? Too late. Damage's done. War's over.

NHS in England hit by 'cyber-attack' with ransomware demanding $300 in Bitcoin Excuse us but we just found out that you're NHS. Please make it $300,000 or else. Asking for just a little is a pretty good tactic, used by thes

Jail for hundreds of millions of dollars..if I got to keep it? I'd do it. Nope, never been to jail and I know it's dangerous, but then no doubt it's navigable, with that type of crime and money. Not if I already had $120 mil

Nope, even $3 mil would be FU money for me. No private jet but it's not like I have one now.

That's Part A. Part B is going after his money. I'd go to jail for hundreds of millions, which he has /had.

Looks like Uber isn't hurting for lawyers. After a few tens of millions, spending 10x more doesn't get 10x more chances in court or better arguments. Uber might even be able to pay them with stock...

I have a feeling that as soon as the case against Uber is done, Google is going to go after Lewandowski...try to teach him a lesson and send a message to other Googlers thinking about doing the same. For strategic reasons they might have ch

I wish people could sell their organs after their death. Putting grandkids through college or paying for the mortgage etc. could make it easier for people to talk about death. We're not ready to accept that money means life or death

In x years we will all get undressed and proceed to board wrapped in the airline issued sheets. If this is what it takes to defeat terrorists, I'm all for it...and more :)

So Harvard paid the 35% share but didn't allocate it properly--if the lawsuit is telling the truth. Looks like there are a lot of ways to screw people, or ways where people feel like they're getting screwed. Joining patents is one

If there was a way to really do it, I would not mind a x% tax on items that use plastic. Plastics make our life easier, much easier, so we can afford to pa x% more to safely recycle it. The money would be going to getting rid of it...not

I don't have a "concern," I merely stated what most people think of anything Google. I don't know enough about this project (the article didn't either) and I don't have a dog in this race. However, I do remembe

They can't just flip a switch and make it happen. If I were Toronto I'd make them put a decent amount of money in an escrow account so the project is finished no matter what. But then this is Google's tech, so if they leave n

"Sidewalk Labs has discussed creating an entire micro-city or district that could showcase the company’s ideas for urban planning...." all great, until Google decides to stop funding /working on the project.

Half joking. No, jeans don't need to be washed after every time. Nor do sweaters or jackets. Underwear, t-shirts and socks are different. This is my rule anyway

Nah, just companies that profit from Wikipedia (hello Google!) and non-profits should pony up. Why shouldn't a person doing great work to make sure Wikipedia runs smoothly get paid when there's so much money going around? Google s

Is IBM losing money to need a bond infusion? They are paying nearly 4% in dividends.

That would be great and totally possible. Disease changes your body and your kidneys, among other organs, will know it.

How expensive would it be to make a machine that can smell if you or your clothes stink? Wash them at least twice a year :) . Bad breath I can understand, you can't tell at times but clothes? Just wash them...

The idea is not just her election...it's the wave. If people like her ideas, they might give her the parliament that mirrors her ideas.
