| None of their IPs is worth any money. Certainly not the good will for the prices they're asking. Far easier to do an original IP that's an homage. |

Who the hell would hire someone like that? It never ceases to amaze me. Fucking suits basically destroy a company while getting paid an obscene amount, walk out with a golden parachute, and move on to do it somewhere else. Meanwhile, most people are lucky if they can hold on to their job for the slightest infraction. Tell me again how we're free?

There are much more promising deep foundation structures but the prohibitive factor is always cost and implementation which are practically insurmountable.
Try thinking outside the box for once. Domes are far more aesthetically pleasing, far cheaper and easier to build and maintain, and hold many advantages that standard dwellings do not. Your options are keep building the same stuff to get destroyed repeatedly or housing that people can't afford when far cheaper alternatives already exist? You're the one being ridiculous here.

A dwelling sized geodesic dome would be obliterated by the debris, if not ripped apart by the tornado itself. The idea is humorous but it would be totally ineffective, not to mention a ridiculous waste of money.
I don't know of any that have been put to the tornado test but more than one have survived the hurricane test, that much I know. And if you're doing lightweight materials at least you can strike your home before the event hits and thus, save it. More solid materials? Depends on a lot of factors really. So no, there's nothing ridiculous about it. Plonking down the same old boxes over and over and over again only to be destroyed is what's ridiculous. But hey, if you like footing the bill for it as a taxpayer that's your perogrative though I'm sure most of your fellow taxpayers would disagree.

Uh, they have never built them to withstand an EF5 tornado...
Geodisic domes do, that's why I pointed it out yesterday. They survive hurricanes too. No flat sides means nothing for the wind to catch. So in those zones that style of housing would be infinitely wiser to build. Same as having stilt houses for people who live in flood prone areas. That would all make sense though.

It's not like Sony has been clear or comprehensive on their plans either so it may be they've both screwed the pooch this time around.

That clown shouldn't even be permitted to run.
And it's too bad that elephant didn't trample those pricks, but then they would have killed it, right? I hope all those assholes go to prison over there.

I hope you were being sarcastic. While I am somewhat sympathetic to the idea that "most companies don't pay enough taxes", to say Apple isn't paying their fair share when they are the single largest corporate tax payer, seems disingenuous.
But they aren't, it's all spin, this is why they're going after Apple.
And as much as I hate to admit it, my conservative friends are probably right. Effectively, no corporation ever really pays taxes. Even if you made corporate tax a simple, flat percentage of revenue, with no deductions or exemptions, they aren't paying it. Their customers are paying it. When Apple says they paid $6B in corporate taxes, where do you think the money came from? Collected from a corporate money-tree farm? No, it was all those people buying iPhones and iPods who paid it.
Don't be absurd. Of course they pay taxes otherwise that money would just go back into the company in the form of bonuses and reserves. Why is America's basic infrastructure falling apart and services constantly slashed? Because of corps like Apple and those asinine tax codes that allow them to play these ridiculous corporate shell games. Congress could fix it overnight but they don't because you know who they're beholden to. This gives them the appearance that they're actually doing something without really doing anything. Make it mandatory that in order to to business they have to pay the standard tax rate and at least employ X percentage of people at home or they're not permitted to do business here and that'll nip it in the bud too. They most certainly will not be going anywhere else as they can't afford to pass up any market segment.
