If you have a useless paper, and you sell it to someone else, it's still a useless paper... They are more of an inconvenience, and if they have deep pockets (like in this case), they can keep trying to fight legal battles, over and over for

As sethg pointed out, there's a difference between privete companies and sovereign countries. When you lend money to a company and that company can't pay you back, bankruptcy law gets in the game. But when you lend money to a state, you kno

No problem, glad to be of help. Most of them are from Spanish origin, "familias patricias" - "patrician families" that were here and were somewhat powerful at the time when we were still a colony, our independence in 1816 or in the followin

Not exactly, it's long, but here I go... Malvinas/Falklands has always been a national claim, that has been brought to every possible international forum, for decades before the war in 1982, and of course, also after the war... So, that's n

If this is true and it releases on October 17, just a few days before Windows 8 and Windows RT tablets hit the market on 10/26, some manufacturers might have just a week to adjust prices to react. I don't expect them to do it anyway, but it

That quote came to my mind, while I was writing my comment, and I think it's magnificent. I love it, because it basically tells you: Don't lay there just dreaming about the future, go out and build the future!

I think that an important distinction has to be made about this kind of people. Unlike many journalists, and 'futurists' out there, trying to predict what the future will be like, people like Jobs and Gates[1] do not make bold predictions,

I think this is not correct. Microsoft spends a lot in R&D. According to this [1] (as of d 3/21/2012): The top 10 companies and the amount they spend on R&D (in billions) in the past 12 months were, according to S&P Capi
