With so many people out of work in the United States, it strikes me as selfishly ignorant to simply can the comments section instead of 1) using an industry standard platform, 2) moderating that platform, and 3) cultivating a culture of uti

Nor do I, but in reflection about my own youth and developmental years, I also am sensitive to the influence that others can have. No noose ties itself.

They're branching out from simply manufacturing their own criminals to catch now? I guess I'm sort of impressed. It's like a child, learning to tie their shoes, except this child has a gun and can send you to jail. http:

Single passenger, and initial versions will not be self-powered but rather towed. I already have a very close friend who pokes holes in my ideas and innovations, and I certainly don't expect most people on here to understand the short,

I'm thinking the processing power to do calculations that are corresponding to the passenger / payload (which will move somewhat while in flight and be unstable), flight control inputs, and perhaps communications ability within a

That's a pretty good correlative. Instagram is favored by a young demographic. One that's highly dependent on their parents for fiscal means. This is the group that Beats targets with their marketing - people who make poor financi

The headphone industry most definitely was not "stuck in the 1980s" unless you only shopped at Best Buy for the past 15 years. Musician's Friend runs specials on AKG headphones that are superior to Beats and for - get this -

Personally it bodes poorly for the future of consumer products, if such a marketing achievement can be labeled a success when a small amount of critical thinking would deflate the premise of the purchase. They're not headphones, they&#

Excellent, I've been waiting for Moore's Law to catch up with what I need to engineer my groundbreaking, innovative personal flight device design. Ever since I learned about the F-16's use of thrust and computing power to ena

So, taking a sub-standard product[1], slathering it with a ton of hype and celebrity endorsements, then selling it off to an even more practiced entity in a similar method of business is now heralded as genius? I've got a better idea f

It's either that way, or the old trick / saying "Wait until you've finished your piece before writing the introduction paragraph, because how else are you going to know what the whole thing is about?" Chicken or egg

This is personal experience, so I'm not trying to be intentionally glib. Maybe for one person. For distributing to two to five people, this is a terrible idea, because here's how Mr. Murphy rolls: As soon as you get edits from A,

I'd be happy to upload scans of one of my more recent short stories, "Pink Paint Rain," simply to show how much true effort goes into massaging lines and language a la code. Finished version: http://www.scribd.com&

From my personal interaction with PhDs, basically you have to leave the profession. I'm not kidding. I wish I was. Eventually you'll find a job that may be somewhat related to your interests, in "industry" as it's c
