I simply believe that we already have laws that address the poor driving habits of others. We simply disagree, and that's ok. But, keep in mind some of us live in states with less than 5M people that are quite large; I don't have a commute,

Personally, I am against rules like this at the federal level, and it scares me how much of a nanny-state the US is becoming. This nation was founded on keeping as many freedoms as possible, from my perspective. It is already punishable by

I just heard this on NPR this morning, so I may not have the specifics: Apparently, FB will provide a link that somebody can click if one of their friends writes something that friend thinks indicates their friend may be having suicidal tho

You seem to have jumped from the GP's statement that, "[we should] Reduce the power and programs run by the federal government, and radically simplify the tax code, and you'll dry up the opportunities for corruption." to an assumption that

Looks good. Just a couple questions: From a quick look over the documentation I could see this is built with postgres and python/django, but I didn't notice which versions (nor a roadmap to see if there would be a future transition to pytho

Hmm. Most of the multifunction, networked printers I've had to deal with in small business offices run NetBSD. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen one that runs Windows. Of course, my experience is limited to only ~9 offices, but I just a

Without explaining how Dart is,"such an atrocious, bad joke of a language" this comment simply adds nothing to the discussion. I would, however, be interested to read your critique.

About 5 years ago, we were told that the carriers were very concerned about simply introducing NFC technology on their phones, and that the impasse was due to the carriers and credit card companies being unable to agree on a revenue split.

Your anecdote about adoption of chip+PIN+stored_value in the EU is interesting, and we still don't really have chip+PIN (ISO 7816) in the US. However, you might be surprised that in the US we do have contactless POS devices (NFC-ISO 18092,

While the U.S. doesn't have a form of direct democracy at the federal level, many states (mostly western) do have voter-led referendums and/or initiatives[1]. I believe the states with medicinal marijuana laws have them _because_ these proc

To be fair, I've seen Cutts jump in on "no-name" threads where there is an issue with Googlebot or some search-related thing. It does not appear to be favoritism, beyond choice of forums in which to participate.

I'm not sure what a "DNS name" is exactly. DNS stands for Domain Name Service, and I can't figure out for the life of me what it is you are referring to. The burden of proof for these seizures was far less than a judge-issued warrant, which

Perhaps reading RFC 3092 - Etymology of "Foo"[1] might be helpful. Personally, I was familiar with the acronym FUBAR first, so it comes as natural to me as most mainstream, American acronyms. [1] http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3092.html

Are people who buy pirated movies or pirated books guilty of the same crime? I think it's important to remember that non-commercial distribution is a civil matter, _not_ criminal. That is no small distinction as it determines who will bar

Perhaps if you named it something else and had people vote on more frivolous topics like hottest celebrity, best band, best city, etc.? Don't even mention politics at all.

Thanks for the breakdown. It looks like you've put some significant time into getting those numbers and I'm going to keep them for future reference. Our approaches aren't all that different as I cook all my meals at home now, but because I'

I have no idea what my calorie intake is, but I eat lots of fresh fruit, vegetables and meat, and I spend $200/ week. So, I'm curious what one's diet looks like when spending $20/ week. I'm not sure what else one could eat other than Ramen

I think roles such as these (i.e. 3rd party ratings) are best left to non-profit entities. Not that there isn't any potential for conflict of interest simply because the org is non-profit, but it seems to minimize the possibility. Also, bec

Prior to Netflix offering any streaming, there was no 28-day window. The window came out of negotiations for streaming rights. So, not only is it true, the streaming piece of the business impacted the DVD-by-mail business.

You pay $200/ month? Maybe you meant $20? I would be interested in what you find as a good replacement because I might consider a switch if it were good enough. I just killed my cable and that was costing me ~$70/ month.

I noted this elsewhere, but I believe it has to do with Netlfix relationships and negotiations with the content creators, and how it differs from the Qwikster model of buying discs. Qwikster requires zero relationships and negotiations with

I think it's important to realize the difference between these businesses. Qwikster won't have to negotiate with the content providers because they can purchase the DVDs and games and rent them without the content companies having a say. Ne
