I find this whole thing to be beyond silly. Oh no the ending to a game wasn't exactly like they wanted, the sky is falling.... I ask you how is this even remotely a big deal?

I hope the email is fake. Yet I would not be surprised if it wasn't. Most government employees I have met are not really that intelligent. Add that to a bit of power and little to no accountability and you have an instant recipe for disa

I don't agree entirely with this line of thinking. The concept of protecting workers from abuses by corporations is not in and of itself undesirable. As we have seen all throughout human history those who wield power usually abuse it. The

Why is everyone so fixated on just Apple? I am sure these type of conditions and issues exist for the majority of companies manufacturing in China. I believe that we should be just as outraged with everyone who is, in essence, supporting t

One point of the article that rankled me was his concept of a G.I. Bill so that everyone had access to higher education. That seems very misguided in my opinion. Instead of focusing on "higher education" should we not attempt to remake ou

How did this article provide great insight? He gave no data points what so ever. I can't even say he gave anecdotal evidence as all that was presented was a point of view, one that wasn't backed up by anything substantial. As a developer

I am surprised that this was not put forth by more people as a way to protest actions of the MPAA. This is not only reasonable but something more people should be doing as well. Personally I have been boycotting movies since November.

And? Lots of people hunt big game, it is not illegal. I understand lots of people are against hunting but there is nothing immoral about doing what he did. I would love to be able to afford a true African safari and try to get 3 of the bi

The U.S. is one of the few countries where you can not give up your citizenship. Combine that with the fact that the U.S. has extradition treaties with all but Brazil and China you really have nowhere to run...

Scary, very scary. Since 9/11 civil liberties have all but been decimated by the state. I sadly recall many of my peers clamoring for Homeland Security as they wanted someone to protect them. Yet I am ever hopeful this proposal will be de

Hmmm.....I can't disagree with the contents of the post. Yet I think it is a piece written to distract from the issues facing our own nation by doing an implicit juxtaposition between China and the U.S. I am of the opinion that we should sp

This is something we all should pay attention to. For if we, as a society, are quite they will not have to ram it down our throats for we will simply swallow it unknowingly.

The issue I have with that is as it stands right now how would any know if this is true or not? The NSA and FBI can effectively keep things secret as they don't have to disclose all that they are doing.

Sounds eerily similar to the Spanish Inquisition and the Salem Witch hunts.

I can't be the only one who finds this disturbing. I have no issue with the tracking devices or their use. What I find very concerning is that they do not require a warrant and there is no oversight as to their usage.

I agree it would be much more useful if there were ratings and comments. Overall though it does seem like it has the potential to be quite useful.

I prefer the American Express Gold card. Service is excellent, only downside is some small companies and websites do not take it.

Unless you are currently making really good money I wouldn't leave for 1/2 of what you are making and less then 1% in equity.
