Ja,
We will have to switch from importing cheap rice from poor farmers in China and selling BMWs to successful capitalists in USA - to importing cheap rice form poor American farmers and selling BMWs to successful capitalists in China
This will mean changing TWO sets of shipping labels
Then change the law.
There was a fuss when companies were advertising holidays to Thailand where you could fuck X-year olds because it was legal there.
A media fuss, and a new law banning you from doing something illegal here but legal there
> because if doctors simply succumbed to the whim of every patient
They do that's the problem
It would be easier to just give this women with a cold an antibiotic, it won't do any good but it will get rid of her
10years later - antibiotics are useless because everyone handed them out like sweeties
Then you were badly advised.
When you submit a patent you swear that it doesn't violate any other patent that you know of.
Trying to claim in court that you didn't know it violated a patent because you deliberately didn't search is like a doctor claiming they knew of no side effects to a drug because they deliberately didn't read the label.
Good luck with that one.
Engineers being told not to read patents is the exact opposite argument. They aren't expected to be experts in the field of the invention and what is prior art - but you are.
But postal ballots mean that the $Bn spent on TV attack ads in the last week of campaigning is wasted.
Whats the point of both candidates flying around the country being photographed filing hurricane sandbags and kissing babies if selfish people have already voted based on "the issues"?
Don't you care about the poor starving TV executives?
I would love our next software product to be written in the cloud by collaboration rather than locking programmers in a room. Where do I click to do this ?
Do I need to do anything to make the result FDA approved like our other software or is that just part of the cloudy-goodness? I need it to talk to our scanner hardware, can I get a cloud CT scanner?
ps Can I have a pony aswell? Or do you just get unicorns with the cloud?
We are switching from AES to this supersecret algorithm
Is it any good?
Well it must be because the makers won't tell us how it works!
Still it must make the staff meetings at Foxcon interesting: Listen up glorious chinese workers, the iPhones we are making this week on this line are all going to be used by the American military
And the subway doesn't care either
There were a lot more rats living in the NY subway and many of those would have drowned - but did the Port Authority and Dept Sanitation do anything to try and rescue all the rats from the sewers and subway before this hit ?
The Rebel, The one decent thing Tony Hancock ever did:
waitress - what can I get you
hancock - cup of coffee no froth
waitress- no froth!!
hancock - that's right -no froth
waitress - I don't know why you come in here -you can get a coffee with no froth anywhere
hancock - look, i want one cup of coffee with NO FROTH! - I want to drink it not wash me clothes in it
No and we don't mind ordering a Hamburger.
But we do object to asking for a McBurger and McFries with a McCola to McGo.
The same way we would object to being forced to order a medialion of ground aberdeen angus lightly broiled on a gas grill and served with a focciacia en-sliced avec garnish du gherkin
>30 years later and the only thing that's changed is it's faster, more comfortable and the hardware is a damn >side more reliable.
But now the operating system, programming language and frameworks are
"Cheap, nasty, frustrating and ultimately, a whole lot of blood, sweat tears and eventually, fun."
How do oil wells work then?
You can pressurize the tanks and have the pumps wherever you like providing the pressure to push the fuel up. You can also have hydraulic pumps where the motor and hydraulic pump part are high up and the drive pump is in the sump.
The reason not so suck diesel (and other fuels) with a vacuum pump is that you would evaporate off all the volatiles, leaving you with tar in the tank and a motor full up fumes.,
You can, just become self-employed, register your company in the channel islands/bermuda/etc get your current boss to pay that company rather than you.
This used to be very popular because you paid yourself in dividends which are/were taxed at 10% and no NI. But the government caught onto this and decided you are no longer self-employed and you get to pay both employer and employee NI.
The Jimmy Carr method is never to pay yourself at all - just have your offshore company lend you money every month which one day you might have to pay back - so no tax. This is what rock bands used to do in the 70s with supertax.
