Most of the state lotteries in the US, take about 50%.
Before the State Lottery, South Florida "numbers" games had a 90% payout.
And the voters were promised that the revenue would be added to school funding (not replacing general revenue). The lottery folks lied.
If Microsoft is so eager to die, let them.
Perhaps China should create an F-Visa for women who want to live in China.
Some would argue that rewriting the entire browser - the company's crown jewel - from scratch was a suicidal move. At least in hindsight.
You forgot to add: rewritten by outsiders who had a history of failure.
"Coders at Work", JWZ: "So basically they [Netscape] acquired this company, Collabra, and hired this whole management structure above me and Terry. Collabra has a product that they had shipped that was similar to what we had done in a lot of ways except it was Windows-only and it had utterly failed in the marketplace."
So, do you support the 2nd Amendment (US Constitution)?

With federal incentives ending on Sept. 30, 2025, the time to buy a zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) is now.

Both Pub2 (Counting Planned as Built) and Pri2 (Labelling Unshared as Shared)
I think I can remember for you: Piracy, better than streaming.
Anyone who understands VCs knows not to touch them. If anyone takes their money, they're simply ignorant, and likely to fail in business anyways.

Makes you wonder why a supposed lawyer would ask such a stupid question.
It is called a letter before action. The courts like it if you have tried to come to an agreement before going to court and, potentially, wasting their time on something that did not need to be litigated.
So what's the basis of the lawsuit against Disney? There's no damages, so equitable relief? Of what?

Those corporate homes are a result of few good investing opportunities.

While they're at it, why not re-arrange they keys on their keyboard to be Dvorak layout, since, as we all know, the the QWERTY keyboard was designed to intentionally slow-down typists, Dvorak was designed to increase typing speed.
Trolling? At your age? You should be ashamed of yourself.
Smells like manure.
Try state spending per capita. See, taxes like to be sneaky, while the spending part is much better documented.

but say no to any new installations by not allowing to dig/drill to install new cables, under the pretext of needlessly damaging the property.
