   The light bulb was invented in the 19th century, but did not become important until a massive electricity infrastructure was built in the 20th century. If the joke was about the horrific web design (and it was horrific), I didn't get it.

   A light bulb is the biggest thing since the light bulb? The light bulb was the greatest invention of the 20th century, but the story is about to an energy saving light bulb sold at Home Depot?

   It's not just the costs, it's the treatment. This happened to me: I went into a doctor after I had an accident. He said I needed an MRI and prescription painkiller. I said, doctor, I have no insurance. He said, in that case, you need a

   I would like to see this technology built into existing 3d printers. I would also like to see 3d scanners built in. I envision a single device that will allow you to put in a model, have it scanned, then replicated using cheap plastic mat

   I have used VirtualPostMail.com for several years and this is how it works. They scan the front and back of the envelope (front only for a parcel) and email you an alert. You view the scan and decide whether to scan the contents. For ins

   I am a lawyer and normally my advice would be to consult a lawyer. And, if you can find a lawyer to do an initial consultation for free, I'd do that. However, in the case where you think the other party is bluffing, I would not hire a lawy

   This author has obviously never been to Latin America nor understands that America is situated next door to a third world county. We limit immigration for a reason, and it is not mercantilism. We limit immigration because hypergrowth from

    I visited the Da Vinci museum in Florence, Italy, and Da Vinci was far ahead of his time, inventing the idea of the helicopter, bicycle, parachute, machine gun, scuba, and many others. A true genius. Oh, he also painted the Mona Lisa, pro

    The issue in this case is the meaning of the word "person" in the California Vehicle Code, and has nothing to do with corporate personhood which is an established legal doctrine going back hundreds of years. Presumably, the carpool statute

    In the future, use conditional language: "it may be fraud", or "appears to be fraud". In fact, I would avoid the use of the word "fraud" and say "factually inaccurate" or "wrong".

    I'm a lawyer, but not an AI engineer. It seems to me that we do not have an AI good enough to analyze, that is apply a given set of rules to a unique situation. As far as I know, the current state of the art of AI is merely algorithmic pa

    Vague rules from Visa and MasterCard will become vague laws on the books of the EU, and nothing will change.

    The PC and internet fuled the productivity gains of the nineties. If you look at the timing, the stock market crashed a couple of months after the ruling came out. Up until that time, the internet was the wild west. With the Microsoft ju

    Let's summarize: Apple, a hardware manufacturer, had only Apple products in their store. Microsoft, a software company, had hardware from many manufacturers, which is apparently confusing to Apple customers. Oh, and Microsoft's store was

    The Clinton administrations anti-trust judgment against Microsoft burst the internet bubble and sent our economy into a recession, the effects of which we are still feeling. It also shackled Microsoft for 10 years as part of the judgment, s

    There aren't too many lawyers, there are too many laws. I would bet that if the study had correlated the number of laws and its effects, it would find the same result. After all, when a complex set of laws is passed, some lawyer must beco

    I use Netflix primarily for movies, while I use Hulu Plus mainly for TV shows. For example, Hulu Plus TV shows are usually available the day or so after airing on TV, while Netflix TV shows are available when the season DVD is released.

    Funny, the article didn't mention the minimum wage, which was raised 20% by Nancy Pelosi in 2007, the start of our unemployment woes. The law of supply and demand states that if you raise the cost of something, you will get less of it. Rai

    Love this, added to Favorites, I am ex-pat living in France so I am limited to Instant Queue. Netflix's ability to find good movies in their current Instant interface is lacking. I would add a "select all" button next to the "clear" button
