OK, I'll try it out. iCal is definitely too much of a pain and riddled with numerous serious bugs. In addition to normal language entry and bug fixes, I also need cell phone sync with phones other than iPhone.

So this is yet another scheme where bankers grab ownership of fledgling companies at a massive discount because the visionary founders don't yet realize their company is worth far more than is being offered. Meanwhile press releases go out

Bill is right that MIT is a great school. His statement "almost half (48 percent) of MIT’s undergraduates are minorities" is a bit misleading. According to MIT: "The class of 2014 is 36% Caucasian, 30% Asian, 14% Hispanic, 9% African-Americ

"The message you requested is temporarily unavailable because this group has exceeded its download limit. Please try again later." kind of blows my mind. This is yahoo, not some weird server running on a 4.77MHz processor in Turkmenistan.

It seems to me it's a very flawed metric since one person in San Diego has a far greater influence on the center than someone in Oklahoma due to the leverage calculation.

That law says that parental consent is needed to collect info from kids under 13. The article references a case where clearly the parent gives consent to have an account.

Looking at it just item #2 you cite now, it alone is over 15,000 words long. The standard pagination formula used for paying for articles is 250 words per page. Therefore, a standard legal definition of the length of this contract is that i

In real life, cost-benefit analysis typically works similar to business plans. First you decide what you want to do. Then you write up a case supporting that. In doing so, you make lots of wild guesses and make sure that + ones use the high

I'm skeptical of such articles, but this one had a lot of good advice. I so hate country selection popups that have 200 countries in them, and United States is near the bottom even though 95% of their customers are in the US, or perhaps the

Wow, um, not sure now if you're trolling. The example you give is a non-sequitor not an ad-hominem. An ad-hominem is a name-calling attack. A non-sequitor is where the conclusion does not follow from the premise. But none of this addresses

Why shouldn't people express their opinion if they are uninformed? Since the greatest experts in each field publish their best results with a less than 50% accuracy rate, it seems clear that uninformed people randomly guessing things can do

If you say so. I also stayed at a place on the beach in Montezuma, have you been there? That place was $1.50 a night. I wouldn't call it nice, but many of the people going there aren't looking for fancy digs at night. > a good deal for

Er, OK, so the idea here is that it's a bunch of different guys working on random ideas of their own and afterwards they each go their separate ways? If that's the case, it's not so clear from the web site.
