Terrorism is pretty much about murdering people. If you're talking about the motive for terrorism though, I didn't mention it, so I don't know why you would try to contradict me on something I never mentioned. Also, what are people like me?

I don't know, how much goes into transportation in the US? I mean, aside from the vehicles, including researching new tech for safety, advertising those features, law enforcement of safe driving laws, DMV money, roadwork, and whatever else

TY, I'll bookmark that as well for when I finish the other one.

Thanks, I was interested in an Awk learning resource, and this looks like exactly what I would want.

Calling facebook a utility is silly. Utilities are services which require the building of infrastructure, with few or no alternatives, and often which are granted a government monopoly for building said infrastructure. Facebook is a website

In essence, it comes down to government use of power. Private companies may discriminate based on beliefs, because the positions they offer are not created by use of force, whereas all government positions are. Put in a concrete, extreme ex

I have to disagree with "I don't agree, though, that this is a violation of his free speech rights. He can still speak." Freedom of speech doesn't mean that you have vocal cords. It means you are free from reprisal for your speech. This was

Maybe it effects his ability to work with them, and they should be removed. I don't like homophobia, though I do agree with him on diversity (based on what the article showed): that we should focus on people's merits, and not their race, fo

Hmm, it seems we can only nest three times. (edit) nevermind, I either missed the reply button when looking for it, or it wasn't there before, but I see I can nest further (end edit) Anyways, I have a couple of ideas kicking around in my sk

While I understand that they do tailor their ads to the information in your email, it was my (perhaps naive) understanding that the particulars of your emails were not used outside of determining those ads. Am I wrong in this?

Hehe, I figured it wasn't actually feces, but the picture plus title put me off a bit :)

Hmm, on the whole monetization thing, there are a lot of good services that people (myself, anyways) would not pay money for. Twitter, Gmail, others. Figuring out how to monetize in a way other than "sell your product to your customer" is a

Even supposing that it was sexual innuendo, that doesn't mean he was hitting on her. Straight men and women have conversations filled with sexual innuendo all the time.

This is amazing. I think it may be situations like these that let some people dismiss actual sexual harassment. When you include completely innocent activities in sexual harassment, it damages the view of what sexual harassment really is (t

I didn't read it (I don't have an iPhone, and I would carry a wallet even if I did), but when I read the title of this submission, I imagined a box that compressed your iPhone into the shape of a credit card. Then I looked at the name of th

If I have an interesting conversation with a friend, and we're discussing something, I will remember it pretty well. If I am listening to a professor read through a lecture, with little to no interaction from the students, I am not as likel

Yes, a very nice read.

Ugh. I really enjoyed the happy feel of Love Hina, by Ken Akamatsu (and also the music in the anime), so I bought a bunch of Negima (same author). I read through a few, and realized the sexual content was growing more explicit, while the gi

Hmm, when Jobs expands the FCC and has them control all the content we have access to, some people might complain about it. I expect his response would be: "If you want porn, go to Another Country" Really, I don't care too much about Apple

This is an excellent view. The books are there to read, the art is there to view. College can motivate a person who is interested in grades, but not someone interested in the subject. You do lose out on the professor reading a book to you,
