It's not the government's mandate nor responsibility to provide higher education in the United States. It infuriates me when citizens are so conceited they think the government should provide everything for them as if they have n

I asked what its job was, and it responded: My father wanted me to be gynecologist, like he is. My mom dreams of my career on TV. But I am very shy with girls and stammer a bit - so, I don't have any idea which one of the two professio

The union contracts are really out of control. For those that aren't aware, research "rubber rooms". Hundreds of teachers in NYC are literally paid to come and sit in empty rooms and do nothing while they wait years to be r

I love the pay to remove ads business model as well. I've often wondered why the internet culturally seems so against it. I read somewhere that the CPM for YouTube video ads is $7.60. I doubt I struggle through a couple thousand ads

I believe the answer is no, but that's irrelevant. You could grant permission on the dummy account and then share the folder with your real account so it would show up.

Yes the potential for abuse in any of these sensitive systems is why I think it's understandable we're moving slowly. We don't want to fuck up. The Hacker Way of “Move fast and break things” isn't always realistic.

At times like this, I'm reminded of the Mars Curiosity's tech specs which are something like 200MHz, 256MB of RAM, 2GB hd,and 2MP camera and all the posts about how my iPhone is so much better. Well it was good enough to get to M

I don't mean to defend in-app purchases, but this isn't the first time the game industry has tried to nickel and dime you. How is it that different from the 90s when the game industry put out incredibly difficult games and charge

I've read similar stories of teenagers with cancer turning to online games, because everyone treats them differently in real life once they're diagnosed. In games though, they'll get yelled at and raged at like everyone else

I guess time will tell, but I think this is a pretty slam dunk trademark infringement case (like it or not). Also it isn't a function of them taking the bait or not, trademarks have to be actively defended if the owner wishes to retai
