Flat fee legal service bids for United...
But to truly impress United Technologies, firms now have to do more than propose working off the clock. They have to explain exactly how they came up with their flat fee, and how they’ll make money, something many can’t do. “Sometimes they tell me they have no idea,” says associate general counsel Chester Paul Beach. via law.com This is interesting.

With the new processors, the Cray XT5 plowed past the Top500 competition.
