Due diligence is impossible when being lied to, isn't it? I don't think you know what Predatory lending really means. A lot of people saying, "well they should have looked into it" etc... haven't met anyone who&#x

There are quite a lot of reasons, but these come to mind first: There's a shockingly large number of projects out there that use "borrowed" code. This is in the sense that they may use code from open source projects (and didn

I don't do drugs (except coffee). It's 3:43AM. I tried sleeping for the last 3 hours. Phone rang twice in that time and I'm tired.

I'm sure it does in some aspect. A little too friendly and attempting to be helpful in terms of being "human-like", but approaching "not really" in terms of having no emotional feedback and constant repetition (we d

It is a weird paradox, isn't it? Almost as if you don't feel as upset (depending on severity) if a dog bites you than if a squirrel did. Well, dogs just bite; that's what they do. But squirrels pretend to be all cute and vuln

We can condense that all really. We're all living as a series of tubes (biologically and metaphorically applicable).

Same reason people write things in Var'aq : http://www.reocities.com/connorbd/varaq/index.html The more "close to the metal" you can get and more awkward and painful it is to program in, the more cr

No, it's not just you. But is a collage considered not art because it contains cut bits from previous works? I guess it's all down to just how derivative it all is. I don't think "Get Lucky" is all too original, b

I was able to in FF. The highlight color is black (very poor contrast choice), so maybe it looked like the text wasn't copied? Try Ctrl+A with Ctrl+C. That usually works.

Multiple columns still make sense for certain types of content. There's a reason news papers still use them centuries later. Single column only works on a single page/article/concept being shared. Beyond that, it gets a bit s

Then it's a case of do as I say, not as I do. It's not just him who has a problem with, I did as well. And so did a bunch of others who had half their devices covered in landscape and almost 1/4 on their tablets in landscape.

Let's look at it from another perspective. Why are 20 somethings without jobs, with minimal face-to-face social skills, average to poor grades and therefore minimal career prospects, confined to their homes when a hyper-competitive, yo

There's still a way around that. The NSA was able to do what they do by and large with the cooperation of very powerful businesses. Now it may not be as easy to do without some of these as opposed to, say ESPN, but it can be done if pe

The only winning move is not to play. And before you complain this is impossible, for the record, Stallman has been doing the same for years. He doesn't own a cellphone. Think about that for a moment; mull over the implications. He&#x2

Not if you're left handed. Edit: You have carpal tunnel likely because you're holding the pen/pencil incorrectly and exerting far too much pressure. Drummers have this problem too when they use the tiny muscles in their hand

When I was around 3-4, there was a teacher's assistant at the Montessori school I went to that insisted I write with the right hand. Every time I took the pencil to my left hand, she would grab it from me and stick in in the right hand

If they really did come up with the Karaoke web standard, my opinion of them will likely soften. Until, of course, developers only start developing with the Non Participant variant, in which case, they can all die in a fire! http:/&#x
