I'm getting older, and after about 15 years playing around with config files, I just want something that's stable and consistent[.] .. Windows is leaps and bounds better than when I heavily used it last. This is why we use Windows. When

In Android, you can submit reviews written via a browser, just not via the Yelp app. Via the app, you can write and submit "quick tips" (which are often short reviews) and draft regular reviews with a star rating on your mobile device, but

They may not go anywhere productive in your eyes, which I would imagine means they do not reach a definitive and world-changing conclusion in the course of the thread, but they do increase awareness, particularly in male-dominated arenas li

Best response so far right here. Added comments: - DIET: consume as little in the way of simple carbohydrate as possible. Eliminate sugar/HFCS, refined flour; up your intake of whole natural foods, healthy protein, healthy fats. Try taki

This reminds me of a Fredric Brown short story I can't remember the name of in which an entity travelling through the galaxies encounters a planet upon which consciousnesses are, surprisingly, encased in finite bits of matter. There is mat

I have two general ideas. Steal them. I don't have time to implement. 1) Find innovative ways to reduce production costs. Production is expensive. Unimaginably so. This can be things like: a) Redesign physical set equipment. Ex: Set

I'm not saying that I want CAA and SAG taken down - SAG in particular was formed to protect performers from exploitation - but rather giving examples of monolithic, nigh unto impenetrable structures on the internal side of the current Holly

This post nails it. You're talking about disrupting two things, neither of which are entertainment: distribution of finished goods (external), and the system within that's been in place since the fall of the studio system in the '60s (int

I have no experience with any of the rest of their ripoff sites, but Wimdu sucks. I mean, hard. Read just their front page copy, never mind digging deeper. We got calls from idiots perpetually asking us to sign up with them - through many,

The world wide web is not the internet. And he probably means graphical browsing of the world wide web, the beginnings of the web as we understand it and interact with it today, which didn't appreciably exist until 1993.

And if they have considered it, what are they doing about it? I'll bet you a thousand dollars if the suggested scenario happens, there is no mechanism in place to alert anyone, stop it, or deal with it, no matter how big the tracks left.

VRBO sucks no matter who you are. We don't use that site. (We do use HomeAway, who bought them out, but they're being maintained separately.) VRBO's sucktitude is summed up quite nicely by clicking on any state: New Feature Alert! You ca

I hate to glom onto just this example, but I've ever so gently suggested to a fellow who wishes to advance in his endeavors that maybe he might find it worth his while to pay more than $10 for a haircut. The response was a pretty miffed re

I'm going to follow your anecdote with my own, for whatever it's worth. For decades, my family has considered various members to have been "ripped apart" by drug and alcohol abuse. As it turns out, some were self-medicating, such as the sc
