I've lost my edit overnight so I guess it stays, but I apologize for the error, I never really understood the difference between the two until now. Thanks, I will try to remember this for the future.

This is true even on a much more micro level. As a Chicagoan who recently moved to moved to Milwaukee (< 100 miles) I'm continually surprised by cultural differences. There's still a lot the two cities have in common but in day-to-day

Craig, Is there a reason you went with an external poll rather than a news.yc one? Unless your passing the link elsewhere or promoting a site you have a stake in (both of which are perfectly fine to me) I would think you'd get more votes wi

I just bought it from my iPad, ( had to gift it to myself to get it to go through). I got it for free. It came up as a .99 album and a $.99 discount/promotion. I have no idea what happened unless they are making it free to make up for the

For reference: I'm in a Midwestern university and I have off from May 15 thru the end of August. IME that's about average at semester schools.

I'm not sure how much that has to do with it. I live in Chicago, no one around here would accuse the unions of being weak, but vacation time here is no different than in the south. Unless you mean on a national level (unions pushing for fed

Well yes, but I don't see how that's relevant in the discussion. The topic hadn't come up and since there was no fission on the other submission mention it doesnt add anything to the potential conversation, not to my mind anyway, perhaps I'

Only if it's in memory, that one was posted two months ago so the server wouldn't have been able to detect it. However I'm not sure why obtino linked to it as there's no comments on that story.

Once again, these are not the senators who think linking to a website should be a felony, these are the senators who have no idea what they are doing and are supporting bills handed to them by the copyright lobby. Not that that's any better

I don't know what it's like on the LDLR you mentioned, but I regularly ride the (very) human dependent 'L' in Chicago, and that's not a smooth ride either. So I'm not sure how much it has to do with the computer drivers.

>>...in a $3.3bn deal. The company's $1.9bn debt is also transferred to its new owner, valuing Warner at $1.3bn. Wouldn't [Value of Warner] = [Price Paid] + [Debts]? Or am I missing something.

It persists, but by deleting the comment they can prevent more people from down-voting it. This say something stupid, wait for the down-votes to begin, then delete it cowardice pisses me off, but I guess it's not something to get upset over
