Well, that's not a hard connection to make, when you know about the role of the First Minister of Scotland in the prosecution of her predecessor, Alex Salmond. If you were also to know the identity of one of the accusers, which cannot

What is it that you think he did? He was accused of 'jigsaw identification' but, to my knowledge, no-offending words have been produced. In contrast, several newspapers have reported information which revealed the identity of one

It is exactly what is happening.

No, 'printing money' does not mean physically printing banknotes.

'Printing money' has nothing to do with printing bank notes.

It's not hard to get a doctor's attention when he knows you will provide him with golf days and holidays, if he plays his cards right.

Agree with you on that.

He struck me as completely oblivious to what was likely to have been a complete lack of interest. His approach was never going to work, as doctors do not spend their time evaluating drugs in the way that he imagined.

He had not the slightest idea of how doctors prescribe drugs. The typical doctor has minimal training in evaluating medicines - that is not their job. They defer to so-called opinion-leaders, who are the experts on particular diseases. Thes

So, the question is how much margin they needed for the position - long the future, short TAS.

Not a lawyer - think the main issue will be whether the companies are shown to have manipulated safety testing. If not, then it will be a case of bad rules allowing a bad product to have been used.

Strange country where the media says who won the election. Elsewhere, there is an official announcement.

I see - you want the CPI to reflect your personal situation.

When there is a sudden change, there are winners and losers. The losers will complain and try to reverse the change. That is all.

Yes - there seems to be an assumption that they have jobs until the money runs out.

You don't need to be a lawyer to understand what this is all about and it certainly isn't hindsight, as you have suggested. The reason why the IRS are challenging FB is that Apple's Irish tax arrangements became public and we

Maybe I am wrong on this, but I doubt that you have studied economics or have any idea what economists think. The people that you are talking about are effectively lobbyists - policy entrepreneurs is the phrase, who appear in the media advo

I read this story and found it interesting to notice how the author seemed not to have any perspective other than his own. He seemed to regard himself as central to the company, when in reality he was just one of many employees, who had bee

That's not much of a rejection, why not reject it more than a tad? Instead you have accepted that you were some kind of idiot and are inviting me to demonstrate my own superior levels of idiocy, which is completely idiotic, isn't

Listen to me, Mr Sad. Once you have rights to your code (and use a lawyer), you should use it for the benefit of yourself. Open sourcing it is your decision, based on what's good for you.

by james1071 7y ago
Of course you are clueless. Only a complete idiot would accept code, of no obvious value, that he had himself written as payment for two years of work. Not only that, but you are now going to waste further time and, possibly money, while yo

The answer to your question is almost certainly no. This is because credit ratings are not based on payment history, or anything as simple as that. Instead, credit analysts have to understand how what can be complicated legal structures wor

It does not matter whether the Russian economy was booming or in deep trouble - the issue that is being discussed is the looting of assets owned by the state.

Oil companies in the UK are subject to: Ring Fenced Corporation Tax Supplementary Charge Petroleum Revenue Tax. They are much more heavily taxed than other companies.

It would cost billions to test the various drugs that you mentioned.

What Americans call 'the free market' is a system where there are few restrictions on what a person can buy or sell. It extends to their political system, where politicans sell policies in return for campaign contributions.

What you said about the water companies is not correct. They are regulated on the basis of price - the regulator sets a pricing formula for the industry RPI + X (i.e. X is the annual price increase above inflation). There are no caps on pr

I haven't read beyond the first page, but do know a bit about the US drug industry. Briefly, since the late 1980s, the market for prescription drugs has evolved from one where pricing was close to list price, to one where pretty much e
