   I don't - but I have friends who do. I found out about the earthquake through HN and was able to contact my friends and see if they were safe. I'm aware of the warning sirens. I spent a non-significant amount of time near the cost

   Over the years, the NY Times has delivered malware multiple times. In 2009 it turned your computer into a slave in the Bahama botnet and just recently it served ransomware, along with some other high-profile, high-traffic websites. Third pa

   I imagine there can be exceptions. The rules are meant for productivity - if someone is more productive on a slightly different schedule I imagine they'd be for it, assuming their actual motivations are honest with their claims. I&#x27

   Just make sure they are TED talks and not TEDx talks. TEDx talks carry the TED branding but are local events and aren't always quality controlled. They're also predictable to a fault. Case and point, Sam Hyde trolling an entire TE

   They never specified US government or US tax dollars. Merely that government and tax dollars funds science projects. You're reading into and attacking something that isn't there, then ended it on a smug and rude note. >Calm do

   For what it is worth the cost of solar is dropping - and pretty steadily at that, if I recall correctly. Japan has researched and is working on developing tidal energy [0]. But that's the only case I know of off-hand even related to ti

    How do you route the power from Antarctica to where it needs to be? That'd be an impractically large expense.

    I believe the selection is smaller but there is also Downpour [0]. DRM-free which means you should be just fine playing on your MP3 Player. The cost is comparable to Audible ($13/mo instead of $15/mo) and you get much the same dea

    Twitter is not only used in the U.S of A. White people do and have experienced oppression for being white in other countries where they are the minority. Americans have a nasty habit of pretending the entire world is the USA and that their

    This is actually really cool! I would be very interested in seeing how this would translate to other languages using the equivalent data sets. Which language would be easiest to lip read?

    I'm speechless...utterly speechless. As with all pirate sites, it's always been "just a matter of time" but WCD has been around for so long it felt like that time would never come. This is an extremely sad day for me, as

    I'm going to be a sour horse, and I apologize, because it looks like much effort went into this project. Is this meant as a romanization method, such as ローマ字ーー＞ 'romaji/roumaji' or as a way to have "more correct&quo

    Are you really comparing "nigger" to "SJW"? One started off as derogatory and still is except within it's own community. The other started off as positive and became derogatory only within a few, niche communities

    I imagine Canada is similar to America in this regard: a teacher would never in a million years think about lecturing a parent. In the U.S that would probably be a fantastic way of losing your job! The parent's word is "law"
