When it comes to book publishing, isn't it Hachette that is the Giant monopoly? If you want to buy a book they publish, you are a click away from bying it from http://www.barnesandnoble.com/ or from Apple if you want

The way Uber works is that they already have my credit card on file. I don't have to fumble with the card or my wallet either.

I particularly like that I don't have to deal with cash while tipsy and in the dark of night. I've never used Lyft, but I have used Uber and usually find them them be quick and very service oriented. From what I've heard Lyf

I love LastPass, and this response is one of the reasons why. There will always be issues in security, there is nothing out there that will ever be perfect. The question is how you respond when things are discovered. The one caveat I have

Good point, basically the Streisand affect.

Scary rant. I'd hate to think that accusations become so commonplace that we no longer think of such a horrible accusation as being unusual. That would give cover to those actually guilty, and leave the innocent always accused. Sadly,

Do you mean legally? I hope not. It sounds like he's feeling concerned for a person he once knew. Being confused/disturbed by the accusation didn't prevent him from being concerned. It would suck if that was used against

Got it. Disagreeing with someone is a reason to down vote.

Re-read the original article. When someone writes with such extreme language about a transaction they've apparently gotten value out of - then fail to even mention the idea of exit, then I suppose my response will let a little condesc

I hear you. But I will point out that they are often just the default option not necessarily the best available. I learnt that when they stopped supporting their news reader. It forced me to look at what had been out there all along, but

Did you find that by googling it? Just wondering.

And of course, outraged and harmed by this you proceeded to stop using Google services. They are paying for it by acting in a way you find distasteful, so of course you will show them by no longer using their services. Or ... are you using

You would think adults would be past playing with imaginary friends. But they can't even get over their imaginary enemies.

The author seems a bit dismissive of what I would call a healthy scepticism towards the current medical establishment. He refers to such sceptics as conspiracy theorists, which is a great way to ignore people without any thought. Is it tha

Chromecast has some issues - an occasional glitch in sending Youtube videos. But nothing that isn't fixed by a quick refresh of a page. Overall I've been very happy with it, for Netflix and Youtube it's very convenient. Tab

From the article: “I am sure this is the first time in my experience we have come across what was literally a caffeine overdose. " The energy mints have been around a long time, as have other high caffeine sources. And yet apparently

By "getting hands on" to be clear you are referring to his fondling her backside and front. Just to be clear, what those witness saw was molestation in progress. Thank god one of them gave her a chance to escape. Thank god there

I really don't think it's about alcohol or about men and women working in close quarters for long hours. This is about a small number of pigs that care more about their desire than any thought of consent or mutual interest. Real

by GeorgeOrr 13y ago
The part of that culture that is, IMHO, the worst is the idea that alcohol is to blame for our behaviour. Pigs are going to be pigs. They don't get to say "but I was drunk" Real men don't have it in them to treat other

The vast majority of people are good, honourable though often less vocal on the internet. We outnumber the bastards out there. We just need to learn to step up and stop evil when we see it. That's the leson I take from Zach's ac

I suppose I shouldn't be, but I am a bit surprised by how easily people seem to think they know exactly how other people have gone wrong in their lives. And how to insult them into fixing things. Are there really that many people arou

So, you aren't being a judgemental jerk, you are trying to help her. By shaming her into doing what you, in your great insight into other peoples lives, have figured out would be best for her. You are so kind.

The part you're missing is the assumptino that your pre-judgements are the bigger picture. I know you think you are being eminently reasonable, but it's really just another way of saying you intend to keep to those prejudices and
