I'm not sure what a "regular university" is. That might be the cost of a relatively cheap community college - i.e. the lowest-end choice in many areas. My uneducated guess is it's about 5-10 times that at private U.S co

The Yelp data looks a bit coarse-grained to work with. I think the ethnic background of the reviewers only matters if you A: share that immediate background and B: are looking for eating with the flavor of nostalgia. I don't like that

I've had a Senegal Parrot for about 5 years. He has his own 'names' for each person in the family, and sounds to indicate if he wants some of your food, or to be picked up, or to go take a nap, etc. Some of them are English

I've never seen or expected to see "limit yourself to one processor for better security" as actual advice. Maybe this is sarcasm that I'm misreading?

You can buy a MHL adapter and a Bluetooth keyboard for $lessmoney, if you are looking to hook an Android phone, though it won't have that laptop form factor. I've done that, and the Android interface doesn't translate well.

All of those links recommend grains as part of a healthy diet. Usually as the second-biggest source of food after fruits and vegetables. I really think the success people have (when they have success) with low-carb dieting is because they

From what I've seen, it doesn't seem that carbohydrates are necessarily bad; it's that they are so calorically dense that cutting them out and replacing with something else less intense (like lean meat or relatively healthy f

For what it's worth, just because they can live very long doesn't mean they always live very long. If you buy a cockatoo when you are 70 years old, it will probably outlive you, for instance, but inheriting birds is not a usual t

This bit about replacement of the business is exactly true; most people don't realize Kodak was making digital cameras the whole time film was being replaced. As a purely off-the-cuff guess, I'd bet the entire digital camera indu

Your comment makes it sound like the documentary is an expose of mismanagement. It's not; it was put together on purpose by Double Fine to show how difficult game development can be, and to show what happens with the money people pl

The same goes for better keyboards or chairs for employees. I'll have a coworker say "this keyboard is uncomfortable" or "I'm squinting a lot at this monitor", and when I offer to order something different, th

The BakeWise book is excellent for the listing of principles - the ratios that work for higher-fat/sugar cakes, and so on. The recipes tend to be very sweet, and very wet - i.e. Southern U.S. desserts. However, the book is poorly edit
