Same, my real estate lawyer charged $350 flat fee. He used standard documents, private sale. He probably spent about 1 hour on it in total, and that was about it.

I and almost everyone I know have had the exact same experience. Buyer agents seems to basically set you up on some auto-email service for a search filter (which you can do yourself on many real estate websites), and occasionally take you t

I think people are just parroting soundbites they hear like "the number of administrators keep growing and are causing the tuition increases." In reality, what's happening is way too complex to be described in a single or eve

The incentive is that they're academics and want to do the right thing. Maybe more pessemistically, they don't want to be called out by other academics doing the right thing. If we go back to the original topic, which is that deid

Do you not think that people who are doing this professionally as their career, spending their entire lives working, reviewing, and discussing this type of research, do not realize that there is a potential bias and do everything they can t

I agree that 20 rejections is significant. But I think it's a bit naive to think that 20 journals (about 60 peers reviewers) were fools who rejected because they were uncomfortable with the results. Are we really to believe these scien

I see no evidence that the problem is that people were unwilling to fund uncomfortable results, but that they didn't see the point of funding a calculation that as the article notes, could be done on the back of the envelope, and witho

I clicked on a few of the paper titles and they led me to a direct download link off google scholar. Maybe not every paper is free this way but it was for the papers I clicked on.

Doesn't Yahoo have an entire team called "The Paranoids" to deal with security? Were they not involved in setting up this service?

It requires you to pay for service until the end of July first. And then you may get the credit (if you were fast enough). Seems like a so-so deal to me.

This doesn't seem to be anything new. bit.ly and other shorteners have had this before. Not sure why this is front page material, except that there's been a bunch of refer.ly front page posts recently.

I'm finding that everywhere I go, free wifi is harder and harder to find. Many of the open wifi hotspots don't work or redirect to a payscreen. People are getting savvier about securing their wifi, and I can go around the city days without

What I want to know is whether there is a subset of passwords that will be valid against almost all password rules. Like if I make a password that has 12 characters, one symbol and one number, will that fit in 99.9% of cases?

They could at least run the PNG through a png compressor and shave 91kb off the size (tested on pngout) and without any loss in quality. Would save a lot of bytes over time...

I tried 6 numbers of friends and only one returned a result. Are many numbers not callerid-able, or is the api just bogged down?

Another pseudo-scientific source of CS school rankings is best paper awards at academic conferences. The list tightly matches the U.S. news rankings but not the Google rankings in the article. 1) Carnegie Mellon University 2) University of

It's probably be worthwhile as a paper (journal article or peer-reviewed conference paper), but it doesn't seem enough for a competitive PhD dissertation.

Photoshop has become such bloatware that I fear to install it now. I would love Photoshop to go back to its roots, and become a fast slim tool for retouching photos. Get rid of CS Live, that update program that pops up every day, the 3D men

Sure, but why not use any other domain registrar? i.e. any consumer registrar.

Can someone give some insight why so many high-profile companies use MarkMonitor? What exactly is so compelling about their domain registration services? Why is that even Internet juggernauts are unable to take care of domain name registrat

Which cpu is it? A lot of computers are still on LGA 775 (socket T), like the Pentium D. So it could easily be a drop-in replacement for some older CPU. I would gladly take it off your hands if you lived near me.
