I see the parallel, but I don't think it's all that parallel. I'm in a similar situation right now with a motorcycle battery. My bike stopped working last Friday - 8 days and counting now. It took 2 days before I had time to

It's a funny joke if you pick the right audience. The woman in this story wasn't the right audience, so he had the sense to contain himself. Doesn't seem that bad.

That website is awful. Is it yours? A bunch of links are dead and the auto-playing video made me seasick. I was trying to figure out whether there's a model with a double bed or you're just supposed to stay single forever, but gav

This essay reads like FUD. Gloomy statements are presented without context. > Public education is under attack around the world, and in response, student protests have recently been held in Britain, Canada, Chile, Taiwan and elsewhere. W

I was once on a train for 30 hours. I had a book with me that was two inches thick, fine pages, small print, an anthology of 50's science fiction. I was rationing it carefully toward the end of the trip, because after the train ride th

That's not quite true. The profitability comes from increased density. Instead of one business with a huge parking lot generating 1,000,000/year in revenue, you get three businesses with sidewalk traffic and street parking only ge

More women and people of color will pursue the necessary education under their own power when it becomes obvious that they can get jobs with it without having to worry about unemployment due to discrimination. At the moment computer science

No, it isn't. White and asian men are likely to be more qualified because they have had more opportunities to gain experience. The race and gender gap won't close without concerted effort to give similar opportunities to women and

Hi, I could use more technical information about these. The description area on product pages has a lot of info about feeding homeless people, not so much about the total weight of the package (hammock+biners+pouch_strap), how much space it

Please bear in mind that there's no actual information in this piece. The author clearly decided what the story was going to be before they had any details about it. If you want to build your own house, go ahead and do it - and researc

It's not just the hardware either, it's the drivers. Try using bootcamp on a macbook pro. The previously-perfect trackpad becomes unusable. There is an apple-recommended driver you can install that helps, but not much.
