So am I, as a citizen, supposed to be content with a 9/11 scale terrorist attack happening "every few years?" We spend $0 a year on defense against alien invasions. Should I, as a citizen, be content with alien invasions ha

If you need to pay somebody $2 more an hour the money can come from more places. Increase a drink price, decrease tomato quality, steam clean every 3 weeks instead of 2, wash the bathroom yourself instead of hiring, call the newspaper and

Yeah, I was actually surprised at how generic those reviews were. I mean, I've been reading Amazon reviews for a long time, but this just takes things to a new level.

They're essentially giving the public what they want. Is it what the public wants, or is it what the public that still regularly watches MSM news wants?

I've interacted with Mike a few times via the Tcl newsgroup, and he seems like an alright person in general. While you may not approve of his actions, you seem to be defending them because he acted like an "alright person"

I'm in the same situation. It's starting to get pretty old, especially when I cancel a e-mail newsletter and then a few weeks later get the same one again because the person re-signed up with the wrong e-mail address.

>unless you paid them 18% less. in which case you'd be exploiting their situation. Well, yes, but the point is, ethics aside, if it was as simple as just hiring from an entire subset of potential employees who are cheaper than other

I'm surprised you would consider e-mail an effective tool to have a discussion with multiple people. In the past I've found emails for non-trivial things to be more slow and frustrating than useful.

In contrast, male performance was unaffected by using another person's name. It's right there at the end of the second-to-last paragraph of the article.

Yeah, what assholes, instead they made it so you don't have to screw around with physical media and can instead share your games with 10 of your friends around the world without having to deal with a disc. Well, to be fair, there was

But now, with billions of smartphones, which amounts to a crushing ratio of 2.x orders of magnitude over consoles, games for smart mobile devices are making a serious dent - enough so that Microsoft led with their "old people" pa

Can you get up in the morning, turn on your coffee maker, shower, eat, get in your car, drive to work, ... enjoy your free time, etc? Do you know how many safe things need to happen for any of those events to work? Think about it. From the

I think the problem I have with the article is that it makes no effort to truly analyze the issue at hand. The important questions revolve around whether such programs are important as long term investment or whether investments in Tesla co

I think it's the general sentiment that companies avoid things like paying taxes by skirting around the rules through means available to them due to their wealth and status. While a smaller company isn't going to have the resources at their

They do perform those tests, but they can't account for all potential future electronics devices. So, our defense against potentially dangerous future electronics devices is a generic safety announcement at the beginning of the flight wit

I'm sorry but your first sentence is just bad logic. I don't see a problem with the logic. If personal electronic devices could truly cause interference, then just reminding people to turn off devices seems like pretty weak protection. Ho

What are the anti-piracy people supposed to do? They trusted the web design firm and apparently were let down. Should the site owner have to vet the content again? Should Pirate Bay have to vet the content that it's users make available?

Driving through a yellow light is not illegal. Also, is shortening yellows actually making the roads safer or is it just a way to increase revenues? Seems like one likely cause of shorter yellow lights is that more people make harder stops

I made a token gesture at fixing the sqlite files, but I don't have the patience to manipulate obscure files in AppData to get a browser to work. Stuff like this is why Chrome is my primary browser.

Funnily enough, Firefox died on my system today and I haven't been able to get it working since. Just freezes after start up, even in safe mode (well, when it even booted up, which it stopped doing after a couple tries).
