I may be biased, having taken part in operations to restore some wetland along the Klamath in the past [0], but I quite look forward to seeing the river return, eventually, to a more natural state. I say eventually because there is undoubte

There's healthy skepticism and then there's tin-foil hattery. Have there been any third party teardowns, reverse engineering efforts, or other investigations to determine that apple's claim is a bald faced lie?

I'd be loathe to give up the extra bits of protection that a CC gives me against fraudulent charges over a straight debit account, myself.

I fully expect a robot with a badge to get classified as a police officer rather than property, allowing the SWAT guy behind the joystick to gleefully blast away with impunity whenever the perp acts squirrely.

What is driving the increases in fees from the credit card companies? Greed? Using the fees to fund ever more enticing rewards programs to attract customers?

In fact its all a long con to bring the Penny Farthing back into style so drivers of modern land barges can see your child on his bicycle over their own 1.5m high hood/grille.

To claim that any one device won the war is reductive and narrows the focus too tightly when considering a global war. Each item on its own contributed to the war effort, absolutely. The cavity magnetron and the RADAR it enabled saved lives

The pre-expansion event for Lich King taking inspiration from the corrupted blood saga was pretty neat, I thought. And it, too, split the playerbase into two groups: the righteous that fought the ghouls and the spread of the plague to the b

My experience with t-mobile service is that it has the worst coverage (western states) out of all the big players. I'll routinely have no signal on my t mobile work phone while my verizon personal phone is just fine.
