I wish I checked the date on the Portfolio article. I didn't realize it was for the May issue. In Boeing's recent statement they said they need a few weeks to determine the length of the delay. It is not a good sign when it takes weeks to f

I honestly have no idea how complicated building a plane can be. What I designed required zero plane building knowledge. But given how long it takes and expensive it is, I think it is more difficult than it looks. There are technical diffic

I designed and built a key electrical system to this plane during late-spring of 2007. I don't know whether I can say which one. Anyway, the company I worked for was at the end of the line as far as outsourcing goes. Boeing outsourced the d

I will add another interpretation from my HS English teacher: whether anything in the book actually happened. Read the first page: "Besides, I'm not going to tell you my whole goddam [sic] autobiography or anything. I'll just tell you about

Copyrights protect original works of authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression. Copyright protection also extends to derivative works. If a new work is transformative when compared to a parent work, the child work is not conside

Accepting a purchase offer also shows bad faith. Basically it shows that the domain owner just wants to make money selling the domain to an entity that owns the trademark. [Edited: Best Course of Action? Talk to a Lawyer.]

A UDRP or ACPA dispute costs nothing, or next to nothing. These are administrative provisions used to protect against domain squatting. The so-called purchaser files a motion with the registrar, registrar reviews, and takes your domain. Thi

Bingo. Negotiating shows bad faith and the would-be purchaser gets the domain for free, almost instantly. Negotiation is the absolute worst possible thing to do in a situation like this.

That depends. Can you prove the preferential TOS terms in place when you gave the data? If you don't have something in writing you will have a tough time in court of law. And when I say writing I mean you being able to go on the stand to sa

Are you sure you are completely indemnified? There are several jurisdictions where liability from negligence cannot be contracted away. The same is true for breach of warranty and strict liability claims. Another example is if you are a web

Both summary and legalese become the contract. Courts look within the four corners of the document for the terms, wherever they may be. Other terms are implied by statute and case law. Still more terms are implied by 1) custom and usage in

Thank you for reminding me of patents. I forgot to mention those. A patent is a completely different entity compared to case law. Case law and case briefs/motions written by lawyers have to be short, concise, to the point, and logical. The

I doubt West, LexisNexis, or any other legal aggregator will sell the information to Google. Those companies make a lot of money selling it to lawyers on a monthly subscription basis. They also do some value-add to the materials. What I see

I am trying to think of a test that can be run on my West search engine and Google. West's legal resources dwarfs Google's. Google might as well be considered non-existent in the area compared to West or LexisNexis. That is just what those

1. What if there are tax credits for those earning less than $250k, while those credits are non-existent if you earn over $250k? 2. What if these people are trying to defer income to a later date when the income tax isn't as high? 3. Or the

I didn't know about all of those features. The big one I did know about is Grand Central, software that takes advantage of multi-cores. It is supposed to spread the load across the cores in your processor. That is the feature I am waiting f

I would put my money into Federally insured bank accounts until I figured out what to do. While it may be unlikely that ING will fail as a bank, there is no reason to take that risk. Divide your money among banks to stay below the maximum F

Massachusetts just decriminalized possession. $100 civil fine for possession of less than 1 ounce. You are still subject to Federal prosecution, though. There is no way around that unless the Federal Government decriminalizes marijuana.

If you sort employees by pay it is the same. But if you sort employees by power it might not be. For example, some sales people at tech companies make much more money than mid-level managers taking home a couple hundred thousand dollars per

I guess it depends on the final drafting. Drafting the cap as "top 5 highest paid people can't make more than $500k" should solve the loophole you just wrote about.

I have to use old software databases at my engineering job. The only way to get the data out of the system is to show it on the screen 1 at a time or to print it out. I would love for this new spreadsheet to pretend to be a printer and have

Maybe. But maybe the people that want the magazine will keep the subscription and the publishers will gain me as a customer. I read BusinessWeek every week. I pay for that subscription. They would not lose me as a customer if they went on
