I'm an avid college football fan and the BYU athletic director's response doesn't seem right. Roster depth is very important to a team for various reasons such as having players who can step in for injured players (important given the natur

I don't see the "for Hackers" angle in this article. Yes, you can think through problems while lifting but that's hardly unique to weight lifting. Ditto for books on tape. I'm not hating on weight lifting here (I've been lifting consistent

If you can create arbitrage situations for customers you can generate a decent amount of buzz in certain circles. Off the top of my head one way to do it is to offer to buy gift cards for more than 95% of their value. Some people have cre

Is there a way to view all the merchants you accept and what you percent you pay for them? I'm guessing the value depends on not just the merchant but also the value of the card and the expiration date so it may not be possible to just hav

Certainly not everyone would still need it and be able to afford it but the fact that many people would still need their car helps to explain why so few Hyundais were returned.

FatWallet Finance discussion of the article: http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/finance/981895 I think this comment really nailed it: I never understood the program. If I lost my job, I'd still need a car to drive to interviews.

Who said they didn't start their own companies? My grandparents did as did several of my aunts and uncles, as did I. And those who didn't start their own companies didn't simply throw money under a mattress. The money was indeed invested

Okay. I knew that you knew about the game as I had mentioned it before ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=764601 ) but wasn't sure if you knew about the start time as it was just announced. Thought the game's start time would be useful

With a 1:30 pm kick off time there won't be any conflict with crowds in terms of starting Startup School at 9am. I would, however, suggest a late lunch (at or after 1:30pm) to avoid fans and long lines at the local restaurants. The biggest

I know you're joking around but I thought I'd answer anyway. The key aspect of flights is that your "victim" isn't going anywhere. He's stuck in that seat and can't escape nearly as easily as he could if you approached him in a cafe, muse

Along those lines I know there is a very lucrative black (maybe more gray) market in which people will pay big money to find out flight plans of important decision makers. People paid that money so they could try to buy a ticket in the sea
