Agree on plausibility. Also, don't forget the 20-year-old son. Bet they checked the medicine cabinet.

Or worse, some providers won't even provide care if you are a high deductible insured person paying cash. On more than one occasion after having an appointment scheduled, and mentioning to the provider that we have a high deductible, d

You would be surprised. I was shocked when well-funded competitors did this to us (and other strange smears and weird things like harassing our users on social media) with no attempt to even be stealthy about it. I don't even get why t

Yeah, looking over this again, it appears you're correct and the CISPAesqueness could be disputed. The very short time limits (some of these actually apply to the officers serving the warrant) and the contempt of court threat are worrisome,

Full-text of the bill here: ftp://ftp.legis.state.tx.us/bills/83R/billtext/html/senate_bills/SB01000_SB01099/SB01052S.htm It appears to, among other things, allow any web site owner to be charged with contempt of court for not turning over

Same here - people that I haven't worked with but know socially have endorsed me for totally unrelated programming skills that were last used in the late 90s. LinkedIn suggests something, and people click Next-Next-Next. The whole endorse

How difficult would it be, though, for Google to hide some advanced options in settings for power users to enable? Always Expand Header, Always Expand Collapsed Content, etc. When you're handling more than one or two emails in succession, e

There's a screenshot in The Verge's article ( http://www.theverge.com/2013/4/30/4286090/path-is-spamming-a... ), looks to go straight to an invite with the guy's name ( https://path.com/i/BfOPb ).

And some, like Telia in Sweden, will keep calling until you listen to a certain percentage of the message to helpfully ensure that you've gotten the message. Which is loads of fun if, for example, someone sends you a link with a UUID--you b

No kidding. Nothing makes you miss svn more than an inappropriate rebase. I've done it twice now, & sorely regretted. Heck, once, I was bit so badly by it that I actually said something positive about Rational Clearcase.

Personally, I wouldn't have a problem with a UUID and the occasional "phone home" - if UUID X hasn't phoned home in Y days, it's no longer part of the install base. Given that more CM users tend to be obsessive device-wipers, it may make se

No kidding; after months and months dealing with the actual mechanics of the medical bills for a simple leg contusion (stupidly thought it was broken; won't do that again), if the big C ever hits, I think we're headed to Mexico to avoid ban

Oh wow, that's horrific...and here I was trying to be positive for once about the acquisition being a goodwill (well, as goodwill as you can get for those guys) effort to start developing bee-safe pesticides/crops. :/

Two studies are referenced in this Reuters article: http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/03/29/us-science-pestici... Monsanto itself is actually purchasing companies that develop bee-safe pesticides, so obviously they believe it's a proble

It doesn't make any sense to promote someone who keeps their head down and does three times the work without squawking. As an employee moves up the chain, they spend more time in meetings/managing, less time doing, they get paid more to add

Yes--the Verizon billing system password is a 5-digit number (not an actual online account password). It's not the same as the password for the portal and I'm not sure why someone would use that as their banking password. I'm assuming he's

I don't disagree wholly on substance here, but will point out that, according to the WBUR investigation, many of the issues coming out of Ortiz' office were not because she sought to control others, but that she didn't wield enough and let

Agreed; app requests' visibility and acceptance rates tend to be so abysmal in general that I'd bet that it makes very little difference to most developers that they've been yanked. Meanwhile, Dr. Oz has a diet he'd like you to go on...clic

I'm a big fan of MyGengo ( https://gengo.com ) - they've got something called "String," where you upload your strings (in pretty much any format--great for web sites & mobile apps as you can export in a bunch of different formats, too),
