I doubt MS will extend this deal if they are successful in the market whereas Google would find it hard charging for Android.

I think everyone did get your point, but you've not addressed the problems that people have mentioned. Just hand-waving and saying 'transparency' is not convincing.

Maybe your observation holds true for the majority, but in my case my PhD taught me how to be self-reliant, work autonomously, plan ahead and cope with a high workload. Now that I've switched to industry, I've found these qualities are serv

You need to suggest to us at what level you're at. Are you familiar with HTML/CSS? Are you competent with any other languages at all? Guessing that your familiar with HTML, I'll mention that you'll probably find it easier if you set a targe

I agree entirely. In many cases it's reinforcing a prisoner's connection with society that reduces their chances of re-offending. A recent study in the UK showed that simply ensuring inmates in a prison had a bank account cut re-offending r

Think of the index fund as reducing the risk of depending on any one stock for your gains. I don't know what the distribution of gains is like on an index fund but an answer to your question would likely come from an examination of one.

I think your point of view is compelling, it's just that I'm choosing to be optimistic, for all that's worth. I hope that the nature of the coalition makes them think through some better thought-out economic policies by virtue of having to

I don't what the article is trying to say either but I wouldn't say that the economy is on the brink of collapse. It's healthy in some parts, and in dire need of direction and help in others. That's from someone working across a lot of indu

It can be quite hard without a social circle. When you quit being so macho about this, why not think there are people in circumstances different to your own and try empathising with them?

My parents both can speak a little of the language though they're not turkish at all. The overcharging of tourists there is ridiculous (in Istanbul at least). You pay a much higher price as a foreigner than any local. So it's possible you g

I know a few guys who worked as escorts for female clients. The clients were usually aged late 30s onwards, some lonely, some just looking for sex. Mostly they were affluent, busy professionals. Women seem to like paying for instant sex too

I can't tell if that's sarcasm or not. I hope it it is. I thought downvoting was reserved for the most egregious of comments. For me, that one by mikeryan doesn't count.

It depends on what part of the BBC you're talking about. Radio 4's (and BBC World radio's) interviews with politicans on the Today programme in the lead up to the election have been excellent, with the interviewers really challenging the po

Good idea. I'd have loved someone to have taken it and turned into a story-based episodic webcomic poking fun at hipsters looking for love and their place in society.That takes real talent and hardwork though so I guess it's best to direct
