This isn't unique to Menlo Park either, oddly enough. I remember reading about some San Jose guys that lived in Idaho. But they managed to trade schedules around to where they were on duty for enough consecutive days that it worked out

I wonder how many dead people are still showing up as active users on dating sites like match.com/etc and are still getting messages from people.

Insights? None, because I don't think what you said is accurate at all. That's exactly what we're thinking - only outlaws will have it. I don't know a single gun owner that wouldn't also be an advocate for encryptio

BART tried to, but IIRC San Mateo county unwisely pulled out of the project back in the early days. Part of the reason that it took ages to get BART to Millbrae. That Daly City - Colma - SFO extension took way longer than it should have.

I think that Netflix is rocking it with their original ad-free content more than anything. The movie catalog? It's awful most of the time. I don't care for most of the documentaries, C-rated "mock busters," and direct to

Many Tumblr users are still angry about what they saw as an attempt to get rid of all of the porn there too.

What's your definition of "older people?" If you're talking about above 35, yes, they do. However Tinder charges them twice as much for "Tinder Plus." And the landscape is definitely different. From what I&#x27

I dunno, I kind of look forward to the app release notes for Storm (weather app.) And Weatherbug. Much better than just seeing "bug fixes." They keep me, the 'casual power user,' engaged and interested in the changes.

I don't know, Digg has been more useful these days. I'm not so sure about /. anymore.

My biggest mistake was not starting earlier. I'm a 39 year old Firefighter/Paramedic, and it's a job that I won't be physically able to do forever. I moved away from my stressful career in IT, and found that while even t

I'm one of the people that still uses IRC frequently. The biggest problem that I saw over the years was just the rise of other platforms and fewer new users taking the place of the old school users that were moving elsewhere. The ban e

For some reason, I'm thinking that this would have never made the news if it was just from a TomTom or Google Maps. The good news: Apple is fixing it. The other news: An airport in Fairbanks seems to have a physical security issue.

Your comment history shows that you tend to lean towards Apple bashing comments, but I was curious about this one and tried it out myself. I was unable to reproduce this. Took girlfriend's SIM card from iPhone and put it back in her ol

Not sure how enforceable this will be, especially with services hosted outside the state/country. We have a big enough problem with keeping publicly accessible data out of websites like Spokeo/etc.

I too was looking for that button, and the best that I could find was drumroll to create a LinkedIn account and change my preferences. :/ For the end user that isn't a member, they seem to not want to let you opt out of their em

This is my experience as well, although on Royal Jordanian and Emirates, they actually have in flight cell phone service. Few people bothered to have their phones away, much less off, and nothing happened. And these are on Boeing & Air
