I'm inclined to agree here -- the energy inefficiency of meat is really quite astonishing when you look into it [1]. Not to mention the global environmental benefits, etc. [1] http://news.cornell.edu/stories/1997&#

I think they mean that there were 209 items sold, made up of some number of salads (x) and some number of drinks (y) such that X + Y = 209, and that $6.50 X + $2.00 Y = $836.50 The question is horribly worded, but I hope that helps clear

I think that the only data driven conclusion we can derive from "holistic" admissions that consider every factor stems from what happened in California. Most California public colleges (UC Berkeley, etc.) subscribed to the same sc

It's a single right click to unpin them. I personally found it useful to have a link to the store to download Netflix, etc. Should they have displayed a totally empty start menu to start? I think people are getting way too upset about

Looks like it was a stripe issue.

I can't seem to complete the stripe checkout either. I would love to make use of this service!

I develop for Android using Xamarin/C# with Visual Studio. I don't have any of the IDE related issues you have, but there are a whole host of problems with Xamarin too, so the grass isn't necessarily greener on this side. Plu

HoloLens has been seen and used outside of the company, however. They have been touring several cities and showing off Hololens units to developers. I am not an MS employee, but I did get to try it out and do some Q+A with Hololens develope

Amazon's customer support tends to be pretty awesome and forgiving. I would definitely try giving them a call and see if you can get some of your cash back.

Hi Sam, I'm a graduating college senior, and I've accepted a job at a very big company in the tech industry. Right now, it makes the most financial sense for me to join a big company and pay off my debt quickly, but at some point

This is absolutely fear mongering. The solitaire that used to ship with every version of windows is still absolutely 100% free in Windows 10. Some extra social based features are the only things that are unlocked by paying the subscription

I wonder if this is poised to take on the ubiquitous smartboard found in high schools all across the country. Seems like a better mousetrap in that regard. That being said, I don't know anything about cost of either smartboards or the

I think that is a moot point since you would have to pay the full price of your phone with the Google Fi plan anyway. It seems like the AT&T Next plans are actually a credit line with 0% interest as well; if you multiply out the costs,

I'm pretty sure you can negotiate this with HR at Google. I've seen it done for internships at Microsoft, so I don't see why Google would be any different. Most companies hire interns based on personal projects, so they'

I use Xamarin for personal projects, and it's been working quite well so far. They're pretty good about exposing native UIs so you get native looking applications instead of the ugly (in my opinion) PhoneGap like apps. Plus, C# fe
