How expensive was it to buy vs. to have continued the lease?

Well, proving that would be complicated than solving a NP-hard problem.

Funnily enough it was an Iraqi immigrant that was involved in that effort.

Imagine a world without nuclear weapons. We could progress so much further by combining mankind's efforts rather than limiting our potential because of "security constraints".

I'm a grad student, a shopping trip is expensive (time+cost). Walmart makes sense for me as we have a school shuttle that stops near one. None which ply along the route of a supermarket.

But isn't there an inherent cost associated with time. Time which I could otherwise spend elsewhere? This has been one of the most compelling arguments for a superfood like Soylent for me. All required nutrients, none of the hassles.

One of the key takeaways for me from this story is that we've lost serendipity thanks to the information overload. Almost all vacations, tours, travels, etc are mapped out and pre-scheduled (even prepaid if possible) before we start on

Jihad isn't obligatory, that's a perversion of the verse. The only obligations are the 5 pillars of Islam - Belief in the Oneness of God, Salah (Prayer), Hajj (Ritual Pilgrimage), Charity and Fasting during the month of Ramadan. A

Had light showers in Tampa. Thankfully it isn't expected to reach us. A natural calamity makes us realize that we aren't really in control.

Is it possible to walk to work? I've always been enamoured by Seattle thanks to Valve and Microsoft, hopefully I'll move there in the near future.

I hope there were a list of alternatives compared to the Bay Area, can't really think of many that have tech jobs.

You won't be paid as much, though. And get ready for double taxation.

I've seen a native citizen attempt the same. An anecdote doesn't make it a statistic. BTW, did you stop him, report him to the authorities or stood by as an idle observer?

Hey, I'm in Tampa Bay Area too. Mind getting in touch?

No Saudi citizen I know hates America, heck they've embraced the American culture with awe and are the 4th largest student population in the US. American Fast food, American cars, etc are cherished and many American companies have flou

While I'm not really big on "Online Bootcamps", I'd like to see metrics or even success stories from Thinkful. What real-world skills does a typical Thinkful grad possess?

Mind sharing the models and the Datamining visualization stuff used for these datasets? I'd love to know more about how you arrived at these results.

I hope the OS team starts up as a new firm. Cyanogen absorbed many players in the ROM community and there's literally no alternative unless you want to use a Chinese ROM. No offence to Xiaomi - but their quality was lacking. And they l

When you say Muslim you're ignoring other important factors as well. All attackers in France were petty criminals who had prior convictions and poor human beings with a history of spousal abuse, alcoholism, etc.[1] They most likely wer

Solution is organic development of a nation. Assad was an imposed ruler. The kept growing in power until he felt he could equate himself with God. He has killed far more than Daesh can ever hope to. The Iraq invasion was a major debacle as

I'm curious btw, what made you give up your Indian citizenship in the first place. Seems to me that an American citizenship isn't all that cracked up to be (if you already hold a GC, H1, etc).

The middle eastern migrants were a result of their colonialism. Recent immigrants (post 2008) are largely from poor European economies such as Spain, Portugal and from China. Europe and France are two separate entities. France was at one p

Out of all the titles listed on there. Split/Second suffered the worst fate. One of the best arcade racers when it released with an excellent MP (on PC at least). If managed properly, it could've ended up as popular as CoD4 or CS.

Depression I guess, I see most activities as fruitless given countless attempts to lose weight or strengthen my muscles. I recently met with an accident that destroyed my only healthy knee (ACL + Meniscus tears). Had an ACL reconstruction a
