I read years ago about a 'trust meter' or a something similar (sorry I've forgotten the exact name for it). The basic idea is that all relationships (business, personal etc) starts at zero and depending on the things they do

I see a Ferrari is a status symbol, as likely their internal brand and sales teams would too. To me it would function as a piece of fashionable jewellery to signal 'I'm filthy rich'. From that point of view they could sell an

I used to dwell on things like that also. Everyone has done or said things throughout their life that are embarrassing, make you cringe or are stupid. Thats part of you growing as a person, and being able to acknowledge them shows that you

I don't play piano, but my seven year old daughter does. She's doing her grade 2 exam soon enough. I would also second that advice too! My wife taught her some basics but we got a private teacher for her about a year ago, that has

Glad to have helped! I often get asked to explain things by family and friends so I've got a knack for 'dumbing things down'.

Pinterest is filled with ads. I wonder if it's for data on what people are interested in and perhaps have an opportunity to finance a customers purchase.

A lot of the people I work with have personal laptops and I think it comes down to convenience and nothing more. I have a desktop, it takes up space but it's faster and I've a very large screen. There have been several times I&#x2

Nothing new here. If I remember correctly they were doing similar 15 years ago when I was in university. There was a way around it, although I can't remember the details. I was doing a project on counterfeiting for a printing assignmen

Apologies, I was agreeing with your point. Reading over my short comment it can be read as criticism! I wholeheartedly believe sources need to be provided for everything online, it's web a lies and deception without.

I read a year or so ago they were looking at some new video compression tricks. I can't remember the detail but I remember being impressed. I'm sure there is plenty research going to to make the picture quality better.

For anyone else, my suggestion: 1. Open google maps 2. Turn on 'live traffic' congestion layer. 3. Identify your local petrol stations. 4. Find one with low congestion, avoid the ones with high congestion. 5. Click on the marker o
