This would make total sense if the entire world were under one tax system. Taxing corporations is a way of of taxing the dividends of shareholders outside your country, whose income you can't tax individually.

It doesn't really "prove" either one, but it is a step in the right direction.
I think we should be encouraging companies to address their issues. Being cynical about it doesn't really help.
That said, I agree with you that if they think their hands are now clean, they've sort of missed the point.

To be fair, this isn't a new story. It looks like a positive development to me: they're obviously taking the investigation seriously.

I think it's oddly worded - it's wrong as of CS6, meaning at the time of CS6 it is wrong, and it got fixed after that?

Having just driven from Dallas to LA, I can speak for this concept. You simply can't avoid traffic waves, from an individual perspective.
Autonomous cars will solve this someday, but this simple idea seems like it could work. I'd like to see how it works when some drivers have the tool and others don't.

If this water evaporates so quickly, there must be a ton of it. Or else wouldn't it have run out by now?

So what he can do in the video is not exactly revolutionary. But none of those techs can live up to their potential without this kind of experimentation and integration with each other.
It's not the next Tesla, but I'm glad to see someone taking these technologies seriously, even when they have some work ahead of them.

Re:Is LinkedIn Cheating Employers and Job Seekers Alike?

"It’s a unique combination of breaking rules and being smart that helps you become an entrepreneur"
This seems like the key point - you have to be experimental, non-risk-averse, and a little stubborn. Plus both activities are tons of fun!

This is also using a fairly new engine, the Merlin 1-D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merlin_1D#Merlin_1D. It is designed for mass production, using nearly 50% fewer components than the 1-C, and it seems to be flying great! Can't wait for the next launch!
