That is brilliant. But nothing says they have to stitch the video for you. Giving you access to all your clips would be enough, specially if there is some footage overlap. You might want to transition from one clip to the next in a unique w

I get what you are saying. But really, not all of your income tax goes to take care of the poor. Sure the government wastes a lot of it on bullshit but there is no reasonable scenario where 100% of your income tax could go to help the poor.

Also plenty of wealthy people that completely earned their money themselves but still ended up poor once the fat pay checks stopped coming. Athletes and musicians are probably the most obvious examples.

> And logically, if the poor as a group were good with money, they wouldn't be poor. Sorry, but that is not really logical. Many people are poor simply because they don't earn enough money. There is a difference.

Kevin Rose irked me when he was appearing on and hosting The Screen Savers . Maybe he just wasn't coming through accurately on TV but he always struck me as kind of a dick. I've never really changed my opinion of him since then.

I've seen many Kickstarters that have limits on certain rewards. I've never created one so I can't say for sure... but perhaps if you can set all your rewards with limits you could at least keep it from being a runaway. That

If you don't value "culture fit" then a company that does value "culture fit" is probably not a good fit for you. ;)

What happened to my LEGO? This is a question I ask myself from time to time... and kick myself (a little) because I know part of that answer. I'm the youngest of 3 and all the various LEGO trickled down to me. My brother and I were b

People keep talking about "power tab users" are in the minority. But you don't need to be a power tab user to want better tab management. I usually only have 10-15 tabs open but I really wish Chrome let me manage them better.

I can't imagine the air sensors working very well. Can it pin point which person is the source of what ever it sniffed? What happens when the driver is the DD to her four drunk friends? I would think the four drunks would set those sen

I was thinking the same thing. I've seen all those elements in other papers before. I guess the issue is that they used all the same elements in all the same ways. shrug

heh... I didn't even know they were tax exempt. Not sure why "professional football leagues" were specifically given the exemption by the IRS. Seems odd.

Sure everyone does it. But the rules are the rules. Just like a lot of people speed. But when you get a speeding ticket, you only have yourself to blame. The part about not entering the crosswalk after the hand starts flashing has been ther

I'm wondering if comparing one crass site to another crass site is the best defense here. The OP's comment could be just as valid for either site.

In some ways you do want to freak people out a little. There are people that are a danger to themselves because they haven't the first clue what they are doing. They don't know that they need a good cold weather sleeping bag and n

Maybe make it so that adding the package to your cart actually just adds all the items. Customization then takes place by deciding which of those items to remove from the cart. It might work as a good "upsell" as people realize th

I agree. I've seen a few places in Berkeley that have a common mirror/sink area in the middle of 4-5 uni-sex toilet closets. Great design.

Probably the same way people do it at companies that occupy several separate buildings in a complex. You walk.
