Why can't they just list the prices? Does anyone still get their phone under a 2 year contract anymore? I have no clue what "From $199" means.

Wow. They actually helped out and increased the storage on each plan along with that. Now I get 50GB for the same $.99 I used to pay for 20GB.

"Live Photos" They must really want more people to start paying for iCloud Drive every month. That sounds like a big data hog compared to a single photo every time I hit the shutter button.

The "right to repair" really only means that the government shouldn't be allowed to create laws stopping you from making these repairs. You may not technically have that, but I am also not aware of any laws that prevent you f

I occasionally see @aol.com addresses and cringe to think that people might still be paying $20/month for it. Is a compuserve account free at least?

Furthermore they focus on per student numbers when a lot of the work done at private universities is graduate education and research work. Comparing based solely on the tax advantage / # of undergrads doesn't capture the differenc

>yet only 20% of Harvard's undergraduate class pays no fees Unfortunately I think this is mostly an issue of exposure. It is probably harder for most Andover Academy students to get into an Ivy than it would be for a similar student

People give these elite colleges and universities a hard time, but I think it is mostly sensational stories with no meat. Do you know how many US schools are need blind and meet full need for all students? 6. [1] I also have no clue where t

His suggestion about seals is the most valid point. None of the locks are really locks. A TSA compliant lock that records the time when it was opened might be useful, but otherwise a seal provides a lot more value. The zip tie idea is fine

Have you contacted anyone at National Geographic? There is a good chance they made a mistake and this could be easily fixed.

I thought I put together a decent game, but I didn't have any knowledge of how to market, and no real desire to put the time in on that aspect. It made a sale a week for the first 2 years and is tapering off to a few sales per year. I

Emergency vehicles rushing around may or may not be good overall. They have a few advantages over your average crazy driver though such as lights and sirens to get the other vehicles attention so they can move out of the way. Police often h

Even in your made up thought experiment that accounts for << 1% of all aggressive driving miles I still think this is the correct approach to take. Speeding to the hospital is only superficially different than speeding and weaving thr

The GIF below the video clearly shows that the flight path is not as smooth as the product. It looks like they overshoot and correct every spot.

I don't see how this can be a direct replacement. This is a much better vehicle for the HMMWV's combat role, but most of the time you actually use a HMMWV as a pickup truck with 8 soldiers sitting in the back driving around post.

There is a connection between Google (or is it Alphabet) and Bandwidth.com (the Republic Wireless parent company) that I can't quite figure out. Google Voice is mostly based on Bandwidth.com technology, and Republic Wireless and Google

I recently learned about copy on write the hard way: We had a buggy dll from a hardware vendor that was editing our input, so the obvious solution was to keep a copy of the data we sent it. To our surprise, even the copy we made changed unl

The start is a little slow. I had a friend get board and turn it off before getting to the best part. Maybe you just found someone with a short attention span.

Anyone interested in Banksy but doesn't know much about him? Check out "Exit Through the Gift Shop". About half way through it turns into the most hilarious documentary I have ever seen.

Is that expected to be sufficient? Typical automotive electrical components are rated over -40C to 85 or 105C. I think the engine compartment is typically hotter than 50C when a car is running. This might be more suitable to a car that moun

And will I have to reset all of my radio stations every time I leave the dome light on? With a manual I would almost rather run the battery until it is nearly dead.

The same funding applies to international students, but the admissions criteria is a little steeper for foreigners. You also need very good GRE/ english proficiency test scores to get in as an international student.

This may be true but I don't think the pupil distance is a required part of the prescription. This measurement is often made at the glasses shop. Since it doesn't require any special knowledge or equipment to make the measurement

As a Massachusetts resident with solar panels I can tell you that this is a useful service. In this state you do not get paid for the over production and instead it just accumulates in your account. I currently have a $500 credit with the e
