The difference is that you are choosing the documents to put on your site. Scribd does not choose the documents to put on their site, users upload them. So if you ended up with pirated material on your site, you would be completely responsi

I would not say that it is silly crap, just that I don't see any need for it in my life. I have realized that I am probably not going to be an early adopter unless it solves a specific problem in my life. For example, I don't use Twitter ri

Yeah, it sounds like it is explicitly giving busywork it's own grade. Teacher to Parent: "Well Johnny has a 4/4 math comprehension right now, so he knows everything we plan on teaching this year. But his math engagement has really gone down

I see nothing good about this. The only good purpose I can see this much information having is to split the class into many different sections by ability. And that will take a lot more resources than the new grading scheme is taking, so spl

The biggest change I see is that the numbers are based on year long benchmarks, while report cards are received multiple times a year. So basically, if a report card were handed out in the first week of school, nearly everyone would receive

Yeah, a lot of sites got slipped in. There are gambling sites, porn sites other than child porn sites, fringe religious websites (like a satanist website and some Christian websites), youtube links, and even a dentist's website. And there a

I really like the game design. It is simple and really fits a board game. That said I don't know what I'm supposed to do. And I only got pieces to move once. Now I only get error messages.

According to the article, only wikileaks was mentioned during the raid, police asked for passwords to the wikileaks.de domain, and police asked him to shut wikileaks.de down. So while there isn't much information available right now, the ra

I see your point. But assuming he had nothing to do with the derivative crisis, he is just basically cleaning up a mess made by someone else. And he has now effectively been paid nothing for his work. Sure, he can afford it, and he was a se

I really respect his decision to donate all the bonus payment to charity. I really think that the a lot of employees at AIG are ethical, and did not have much to do with the collapse. I was very surprised to learn that some of the senior ma

I agree with you. This is a "fish out of water" story. Career aspirations are influenced by several factors; including socioeconomic status,race, parental expectation, parental occupations, and parental education level. I'm sure nearly all

"I don't know why they're singling out Stanford." Probably because they are one of the most selective universities in the area. Stanford accepts less than 10% of applicants a year. That is in the same range of any ivy league school. So Stan

I wouldn't say that it feels like I have more protection. I trust my bank. I bank with USAA and I have never had any problems. I ended up filing an insurance claim on an item my dad bought me, and I'm pleased with how it turned out. So basi

How is this different from any other VPN? I am assuming that VPNs normally don't keep logs or destroy them quickly. So I really don't see any major benefit, other than the price and the fact that it is being run by TPB.

I haven't played this game, but it just looks like a variant of drug wars. Drug Wars pretty much about trading stock (drugs) in the market. You travel around New York and buy and sell different drugs. Sometimes you get busted, and the price

It looks like no data was lost, which is really fortunate. And Carbonite may have been defrauded. But it is not reassuring to no that Carbonite was surprised by the equipment's failure. Their business depends on the reliability of their har

The scam uses email, so there is a very low cost to send. Newspapers have estimated that good scammers can get a response rate of .1% to .2%, which is pretty low. And some people have this expectation that they can get rich quickly with lit

I agree with you. I would be extremely uncomfortable knowing that I might be enabling access to child porn. But you might have problems legally if you take any responsibility for the kind of traffic that goes through your node. If you try t

You might be able to get a debt collection agency involved. I don't think debt collectors charge a lot in up front fees, and they probably work fast. It sounds like you are really thinking about just forgetting about it. That might be a go

Would it help to be entirely open about it? What would happen if you published every small piece of research that journals would accept, and blogged or self published the rest? You might not be the first one to publish results, but you coul

I don't have a problem with what she wrote. She acknowledged that Google was successful in terms of market share. She was just questioning their refusal to run certain ads. Adwords had been implemented, but Google was making more money off

Personally, I have noticed that watching tv and using the computer late at night keeps me up later. There have been studies that link tv watching and reduced melatonin levels. So don't use either before you want to go to bed. Steve Pavlina
