>if he sacrificed so much for his kids, they went to private schools and elite universities, why would he have trouble asking them for $400 for an emergency? Uhm, it's right in the article that he had to ask them to pay for heating.

In the age of global terrorism, local nuclear is a no-go from the start. Dirty bombs hardly make sense in terms of headcount, but their psychological effects would be tremendous. Therefore, security around nuclear installations will remain

Actually, North Korea bought subway train carriages that were in use in western berlin as well. I recognize those in the pictures - during my time in university, I used them all the time - in west berlin.

And the best feature of TextWrangler: if it crashes, or the computer shuts down, it remembers unsaved changes in files. Start it up and it restores everything to the last keystroke. Not sure if other editors do this too.

I do think he has a point though. Wherever people are wealthy enough to spend money on vacations and other activities, they seem to value leisure time over reproduction. Currently, the world population is still growing, but that's most

>Within twenty, maybe forty, years most people in developed countries will stop having sex for the purpose of reproduction. That's a load of hyperbole. First, the time-line is completely unrealistic. The ethical frameworks in a lot

Actually I am very happy Safari Mobile does not support autoplay. I have disabled it on my desktop Firefox as well. In a perfect world, it would be a valuable feature. In a world governed by the attention economy, it invites abuse. If I wan

It's only a gradual difference. A Nexus has no SD-Slot anymore, so one important aspect of modularity has been axed there.

No one has ever been fired for recommending Oracle. And if you can't code, the horror-show that is Oracle Apex seems like a good idea.

One would hope that in this case, the US had enough restraint and humanity to not nuke a city in retaliation but launch a decapitation strike against the leadership and the military - perhaps nuking a couple of the larger bases and military

Works for me with Firefox 46 and no ad-blocker/script-blocker except uBlock. However, navigating the page is confusing as hell, I stumbled through it by using the little arrows on my scrollbar. Everything else would catapult me to seem

Medium is banking on the other alternative: most sites die off and a natural monopoly emerges because no one wants to pay for access to more than say three sites. They want to be the facebook of long form comment.

None, ever. Unless you count the Chinese capsules that are heavily influenced by the Soyuz design and of course land in China.

Oh how I wish Mozilla would just slap basic browser chrome on and ship the thing. Firefox used to be a fast browser, nowadays after a couple hours it takes 30s to open a new window on my 32GB machine and 10s to register a link click and sta

NATO has just warned off Turkey, telling them in no uncertain terms that if they start a war with Russia, they are on their own. So I think the reality is the other way round.

So a libertarian helps the FBI to break into a device (instead of rallying to Apple's defense) to prevent big bad government from passing law that would make any device breakable? Makes total sense.
