Well, all of the tests are multiple choice. Switching away from the format would certainly encourage a better understanding of material. Given that the format of the 4 choices is general: 1 correct answer, 1 or 2 close but not correct answe

Actually, by the time I put in my creamer and sugar it tastes damned good. The thing is, taste is completely subjective. I couldn't give a rat's about all the subtleties of coffee. Same for wine. I want something that tastes fine

And for the rest of us that are not coffee snobs, the Keurig is a great way to get a consistently good cup of coffee without wasting time and effort that could be better spent doing something else.

From the comments, she is a woman from Pakistan. Thought it appears she is currently studying in Spain, she would probably wind up back in Pakistan. Now I'm guessing she is from a more affluent family, but Pakistan isn't entirely

For what it's worth, I've had the same type of issues with my Roku on Comcast. I have multiple Roku boxes in my house and all have the same issue. For the past two or three months I've had buffering issues out of the blue.

Yes, but I think somewhat inadvertently. My mother bought a computer for the house. She made sure to show me how to use the basics of the computer but I really think I just used it for playing video games. Sooner or later my mother decided

I've got three Roku boxes in my house as well and I have to agree with all of your points. I got a Chromecast as a gift at Christmas and played with it but I really just don't see it as being better than the Roku with the exceptio

Where there is a will there is a way. It's easier for an attacker for find a way in than it is for you to secure everything. The point is the attacker has the edge when the name of the game is, for lack of a better word, terrorism.

Let's not confuse digital "property" with physical property. It's disingenuous at best, flat out wrong at worst. On top of that, you don't own a Twitter handle, or for that matter a domain, you rent it.

Except the incident occurred in New York state and they consulted someone about California state law? I'd guess most states have similar laws so it is a bit of a moot point.

The law states that a site may collect information with the consent of the child's parents. That is fairly innocuous. The problem is that Google scuttles the account and thus the Chromebook.
