In my totally unauthoritative opinion the diagnostic process has been optimized to find the most likely cause as quickly as possible. This isn't a terrible strategy on the aggregate. It increase the overall likelihood that the most peo

I've never been on a family plan. On a family plan is it possible for parents to see information about the texts their kids send (or even the texts themselves)? If so, that might be a reason for kids to use this service.

Ideally from the perspective of the inventor :) But that's an interesting idea. In that system how is the valuation of an innovation determined?

This might be naive on my part but it seems like we could help the situation quite a bit, at least for software patents, by just reducing the amount of time for which new software patents are valid. It's simple, easy to understand and

My current ride is a 1992 Volvo 740 Wagon. It only has 12 volts, 1 turbo, and 192,000 miles. In another twenty years from now maybe I'll upgrade to one of these fancy 3 turbo, 24 volts cars, but only if my current Volvo has stopped run
