It's nice of her to look at the individual and be able to see past his awful disability of being a Lakers fan :P Getting back on topic, this brings up a weird thing to me: While not raised with the internet, it has been around for a

I've been buying exclusively from Domai.nr for the last five years now, and I only ever login to buy a new one, or change payment details--which ends up with me rarely having to login. Years ago when I was with GoDaddy and starting my

full control over notes isn't something I would consider a priority personally. They're flat note files. Taking the effort to migrate them isn't really enough of a deal breaker for me to futz about with hosting my own platfo

I really like the simplicity and even the UI of Keep, but I can't help the fact that with this being a really useful and lovable Google product comes a clock in the back of my mind slowly counting down.

I'm torn between being stunned at the parent who wrote this and at the WaPo editor, who after reading it, still published it .

Not a person. Literally incapable of practicing medicine. Or anything beyond the quenching of thirst. Now if there were a graduate degree for that , I'd audit a class or two.

Hear hear. I grew up in one of those "children are meant to be seen, not heard" households, so attempts to be helpful and part of things was always rebuffed with "no you'll just getting in the way and break something&quo

Some airports also have public phone numbers to get weather information, could come in handy to know if you're-for example, living in tornado alley and a system rolls through that knocks out power and cellular service. If you have a wo

No assumptions being made here, just stating matters of fact as to what requirements CTL has for transmitting 911 service, the E911 edit was implied to be supplemental.

How many rural county boards have people who actually understand any of this stuff? Not enough, I would wager. It's something I spend a lot of time thinking about, living in one of the largest cities in the country now, with parents

No, but if you are providing voice and telephony services that connect to the public switching network, as CenturyLink does, you absolutely have certain reliability requirements for 911 calls being relayed to local answering points. I awa

Why the county won't permit everyone to interconnect with them directly befuddles me, as all they're doing is adding a single point of failure by forcing all calls to go through Centurylink. I've consulted with a few rural

The only problem with the near-daily school shootings and other mass shootings is that those are a choice that we, as a society, have decided we want to tolerate and have in our lives. I'm getting a little more than annoyed with the

I didn't post that to suggest it was something remarkable or novel in game development, but it certainly wasn't a waste of time as the commenter I replied to was suggesting. As you said, OCS was a needed optimization at the time i

Licenses should be about public safety. It seems though in some industries (not all), as you allude to in the floral industry, that licensing is just another manifestation of rent seeking and ever encroaching regulatory capture. Would you

It's really unfortunate the amount of FUD and cruft being spread about Star citizen, because it's an amazing experience that straddles the line between Simulator and MMORPG incredibly well for the state the game is at currently in

I'm also not planning to pay $27,000 for a starter pack. Well the good news is a Star Citizen starter pack these days runs about the same cost as your average AAA game these days, give or take a few bucks.

However the product itself lacks...everything. I don't know if I, a frequent Star Citizen player and Day 1 backer would say it lacks "everything", and am unsure if your hyperbole was just for dramatic effect but from the fi
