If you're not going to use spell check, please turn your autocorrection off. Otherwise, I don't know how one can explain confusing "their" and "they're."

It is unfortunate this is happening. Be aware, however, that the solution is not just a technology solution it is probably also a business solution--dealing with various agencies of the city and their processes. I bet most money is spent on

Too bad no one went after Chrome. Perhaps prize money should be in proportion to difficulty of compromise from previous years. Otherwise, it seems like everyone is grabbing the low hanging fruits-- relatively speaking of course. (None of th

I give you a point. I think Andrew can improve the titles and make them sound less like informercials. What he does is good & valuable work. Note that the archive is the only one that he is charging money for. So, we still can get on th

Yes, I understand that. And that's why "people" (which I thought referred to the majority) don't care about this stuff and these stupid policies get through senate & house. Those who benefit from these policies know how to make the majo

Why not? Large number of the population doesn't have anything worth writing about or losing if their mail/phone call show up on CNN or Fox News. It is sad, I agree. Lesson for us is not to despair but to figure out how we can "sell" a good
