I am by no means an expert on prostitution, but I don't think it's the illegality of prostitution that keeps many women from entering the market.

"At trial, the government argued that Salinas had committed the murder based in part on his response to the question about the shotgun shells. The prosecutor argued to the jury that an innocent person would have said, “What are you tal

This reminds me of Kurtz's hideaway in Apocalypse Now. That film really made me appreciate how bizarre and eery the collision of cultures was. US imperialists/interventionists fighting the descendants of a culture thousands of yea

I feel like having a position with security clearances and all of that good stuff may preclude a young and single person from doing many things he or she might like to do.

"I'd like to be careful with the science I do, always remember to follow directions, and be aware of peer pressure." - Kiera How uncomfortably scripted is that?! It's a really bizarre nod to the allegations that she was being reckless.

That's cool, as long as the professor isn't a scumbag. A lot of my friends have been stuck with some dude who requires students to buy new editions of his book each year (he makes just enough changes to get away with it).

I wish the the "About" page gave the faintest of technical details about its implementation... A couple different Markov chains for varying generic topics, with buzzwords inserted to give the text a shred of focus?

Would it be possible for someone to remotely interfere with the sensors on this car, causing a malfunction or collision?

This is a cool initiative, but when happens after the poachers are "exposed"?

Svbtle describes itself as an "invite-only network of people who strive to produce great content." This post is hardly the product of any such striving. Sure, it's a nice little tidbit, but Michael Waxman could have easily conveyed the same

Minor nitpick: the FEC deals with federal elections, not state legislature races like the one in question [1]. You do raise an interesting point, though. I'm not terribly familiar with the mechanics of Bitcoin transfers, but this seems to t

One could scan the .class file for string literals with relative ease. Obfuscation would be an improvement, but still not completely secure.

It's true that the US hasn't changed its Middle-East policies (although I'd argue that's the only way to eradicate Islamic terrorism), but it's important to note that bin Laden did not target the US due to its secularism, but for its foreig

> Imagine negative resisters [sic], for example. That seems like a remarkably nonchalant statement. How should one imagine a "negative resistor"? disclaimer: just got my AP Physics C Elec/Mag score back and it wasn't too pretty.

I agree that some of the crooks should be prosecuted and sent to prison (of course the Department of Justice has bigger fish to fry, like adulterer John Edwards), but that would have little or no effect on short-term economic recovery.

1. Facebook would probably need to somehow indicate that a post has been "highlighted", lest they lose legitimacy and breed distrust. 2. Users probably wouldn't want their friends to know they paid to highlight a post. I'm not sure how thos

It amazes me that people freak out when they see "Muslim-looking" people on flights. The politically-correct response is along the lines of "OMG That is highly prejudicial!", but that's irrelevant. From a purely practical perspective, why w

This legislation would certainly aid responsible and trust-worthy law enforcement officers in catching criminals. Bush's (and now Obama's) policy of warrantless wiretapping may have also been effective against terrorism. Perhaps torturing i

Merely by becoming a programmer, you have alienated yourself in a sense. The most successful people in the world have alienated themselves. They are outliers. Superlative compliments can be alienating in a positive sense. Comments like "Dud

Perhaps you mean "ironic"? If so, absolutely. Irony and hypocrisy are seldom divorced from US foreign policy.
