So dogs don't deserve to be locked up all day inside, but kids, and people, do? Humans are happy outdoors. Children need to be outside exploring, playing, figuring out the earth and nature, not sitting inside on iPads all day. Just bec

I don't need my rear lights to be "smart." I just need them to be as bright as possible. And yes, red.

Huh? This doesn't make any sense. There is no IP right that lets you prevent non OEM parts to be installed in a product. If that were the case mechanics would all be out of business. There must have been another issue here.

I don't think HK cares that much about US relations. They can defer to China to help get their way if they need it for trade related matters. I don't think they will want to be seen as caving to US pressure here.

So how much did writing this comment cost you? We're not all as busy as we make ourselves out to be. People love to give others the impression they are swamped in order to say "no," not the other way around. "No, I can&#

Now fishermen will suffer so farmers can pull a profit. It's kind of the most simple form of unfairness. The kind that small children easily identify and question.

I never said NYU is all rich kids. That's obviously not the case given so many are going into debt to attend. What I'm trying to say is it's "intended for rich kids." People who have to borrow $200k just for tuition

You'd kill for one but would you go into $200,000+ more debt for it? That's kind of a ridiculous notion. Study in a cheap small town at an excellent public university for $35k vs NYU at $250k+? No thanks, I could just fly first-cl

I'm clearly referring to undergraduate education. People with solid state school options shouldn't choose NYU unless they are rich. You'd be a fool to give up in-state @ Univ of Texas undergrad for NYU, for example.

Charity is very profitable for many elites especially in places like NYC and DC. Just because they don't distribute dividends doesn't mean they don't distribute salaries. Most "connected" people here come out of sch

NYU is a school for rich kids. It's a vacation for students who want college fun, but prefer it to be in an urban setting like NYC (and the best part of NY, to be sure), rather than in a small college town with its frat parties and bee

I tested out my new MBA on battery for the first time tonight. It's pretty incredible. Streaming Aereo in HD over wifi the whole time, coding and doing other tasks on normal brightness. I went 4.5 hours before reaching the 50% mark.

I hate car crashes. It's such a waste of life. We have the technology to prevent these, it's just a matter of investing in getting them into every car on the road.

Ok. Someone please debunk the last point about the coroner. If that's really true there should be legitimate attention brought to this.

Google does this as well. My dad's small business was shelling out thousands on AdWords per month. Their rep reached out to us, without solicitation, and offered to optimize our ad campaigns. They did so, and saved us at least $1,000 a

I haven't seen any articles discuss a major issue: his immigration status. If he's on a visitor/business visa he likely only has 6-12 months in the country. If he's there as a tourist, 90 days. If he overstays his visa,

The IRS doesn't tell you why they've decided to audit you. They just say you were flagged. Then they audit you.

They are testing it in New Zealand hinterland. I wonder what implications this is going to hvae for NBN in Australia. They are spending tons of money to launch two satellites to provide access to remote towns. Google is showing they can do

I tend to agree with you. It's not the engine sound that bothers me, it's little kids screaming, hearing sneezes, etc. that get to me. In fact, many people have actually found the quietness of the A380 engines to be a detriment to

Are there good noise cancelling headphones < $100? I'm not interested in paying Bose $300. It doesn't seem like good ones should cost so much. By "good" I mean degree of noise cancellation, not quality of stereo speak

American "innovation" has just become "fad mashing." Take fads, mash them together for no apparent reason other than to create a new superfad.

And his systems administrator position in Hawaii for a contractor gives him access to records of this hacking? If so, where are the documents? Seems he's trying to build a platform and turn into a pundit/commentator. A whistleblow

Given that the vast majority of American support this type of surveillance in the name of fighting "terrorism," democracy appears to be working. You should blame the electorate.

Yeah, this is something everyone needs to understand. Intent is very important when entering countries on visas. If you enter the US with a non-immigrant visa such as a visitor visa with every intent to remain in the country indefinitely, a

Yes, this is well said and what I was trying to express. "Deceptive" was a poor choice of words and I think "confusing" says it better.

Your failure to mention the printout in your original post is deceptive considering we are discussing internet "wiretapping." Of course possessions are searched upon entry, it happens every day in every country. If you're a M

He is not even a journalist. He is a pundit, no better than the talking heads on Fox News, he just knows how to dress himself up as an "intellectual" to cater to the NYT/Charlie Rose audience.

I don't think it's fair that "conspiracy theorists" will dismiss conspiracy theories when they are perceived as defending the US.
