Once you get internet at your house, how that gets locked down is your problem and no longer requires government intervention. I will not be the person who mandates that the entire internet be censored because a few parents can't take the

Maybe no one else will but you have to call it like it is: this is just pandering to the extreme conservative base of the GOP. "The Obama Administration has turned a blind eye to those who wish to preserve our culture from the scourge of po

While I hadn't ever heard of Yammer, just one look at the home page makes it seem as though it's a Facebook rip-off (no other way to really say it) just for use in a corporate setting. Seems as though he's just a little worried that if Face

The 'Ivy League' is an athletic conference which includes Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Pennsylvania, Princeton, and Yale. While it tends to be associated with top-tier universities, it definitely does NOT include Stanford

Beautiful cat. I have a dilute calico female that is very sweet, but only to me and my wife. I think this might be more indicative of female cats in general. I find more than 1 female in a home is typically a problem, whereas multiple (n

If we assume that the second Death Star is built similarly to the first one, it is no stretch that the first one is quite hollow. Lando flew the Millenium Falcon inside of the second Death Star (along with Wedge, who was in an X-Wing) and

I'll give you the short answer. I did NOT play D1 football, I didn't play football at all. I did do IT work for a D1 university and talked with the athletic administration folks many times. I know a lot about the athletic scholarship pro

Sorry to be a Debbie Downer but much of what you say is completely inaccurate, some of it factually, the rest logistically. First, scholarships aren't guaranteed. They are only for 1 year and renewed at the team's discretion. A team can c

I can't imagine that one couldn't build a shipping-container sized building with wood for a lot less than $2000. Fir 2x4 and 2x6 timbers are literally dirt cheap right now. Throw in some siding, drywall, some insulation, and some roofing

I think you'd definitely want a separate space for men, although I don't think you will ever get as much traffic. Sharing the website (even though it is technically done that way right now) would be weird - most women aren't going to be in

Handbags can also be rented at bagborroworsteal.com, I think you can buy used ones there too. I find it weird that I know about rentable handbags. Handbags are one thing, women tend to take pretty good care of them. Shoes are a tougher se

This is really getting to the point of ridiculousness (if that's even a word). Here's the plain fact: if a copyright holder notifies me that their material is being shared on my servers and I do nothing about it, I can get sued by them. If

Zero sales tax where? WA has a 7.6% state sales tax and individual counties have added on top of that. WA doesn't have an income tax (if that's what you actually meant).

Snark aside, I'd say that Siri doesn't seem to work at least 50% of the time. First, it tends not to be able to connect to the network. Whether with full 3G or even over wifi a large percentage of the time you'll end up with "I'm having tr

True, the main goal wasn't necessarily getting acquired, although typically that's what you expect to happen with a lot of tech startups. To get big we would've had to change direction (which wouldn't have been a bad idea). Whether or not

This is a lot like David Letterman and his numerous speeding tickets he would get in Connecticut. He's rich and a $200 fine doesn't mean the same to him as it does to us. That's what he'd spend on an expensive NYC lunch. The same goes fo

I think the point is that it's fine to swing for the fences, just make sure you don't skip other 'lifestyle' opportunities in the mean time. You may never get your homerun pitch, nothing wrong with a base hit. You watch enough pitches go

Of course top students get screwed. It's a fundamental problem with schools in general, a flaw in design. The main problem is that we set grades by age and not skill. This causes a couple problems. Kids might be better serviced by stayin
