I, too, wrote my first programs on a trash-80, sitting in the store and saving the things to a high-performance cassette drive ;) But I no longer think that's the thing...the point back then was, to me at least, "here is something

I never meant to imply the guy wasn't driven and had serious business skils...that much is beyond obvious. Just his ability to cold call so many people and secure a $40k angel investment over the phone shows he is miles above most when

I'm not an expert, but I do know paying off your total credit card debt every month does nothing to help your credit score and, in fact, may even kinda hurt it. You would be far better off to get 2-3 cards, ring up some debt on each of

Creating a new compatible hub now sounds like an ideal Kickstarter project, no? Also, I can't help but wonder if UL issues may have influenced the decision too...just look at the current hoverboard fire issues with cheap Chinese manufa

It seems, to me at least, that a rather obvious driver of this rising mortality could be something that occurred long ago, when many of these at-risk white men were young and careless teenagers and 20-somethings. And what could that be, in
