Boosted boards are still the best "hoverboard" for my money: http://boostedboards.com/ The price is prohibitive, but the market now has something like 7 or 8 brands competing, so I expect the price will come down

If there is a rogue actor on the internet, even at a large scale, the rest of the Internet blackholes their traffic, and treats them as a failure point. Various routing tables are updated across the internet to not consider them a viable de

I think a lot people have had very different experience as to what HR does. It can range from the above, to "very little." Its this nebulousness that really accounts for the variety of opinions.

Dunning-kruger in effect. We are all at least layman when it comes to nutrition and health, so you get people who dont know what they dont know commenting on something to reassure their views. They dont do the research, because they already

While this makes the service seem shady, it may still be a useful stopgap in countries where medical care is sub standard. How many people do you know that are afraid to go to a doctor because of a possible 40k bill? I bet large sums of the

Work in tech outside of the tech industry for a while. I go to conferences and just breathe in and out for what feels like the first time in months. Just being able to use jargon without stopping to explain it is a wonderful thing.

It sounds like an encryption suite that had had an included "crytpolocker" gui element would be a hilarious method plausible deniability, and at least make this asinine habit harder. Just randomly generate the BT address so some s

Thats understandable. Walmarts brand is pretty much defined as "We treat our employees poorly, but look how cheap things are." I wouldn't consider either of those factors good selling points for an employer.

Adding viable competitors is how. Title 2 will make it so other companies have a chance to exist on the government sponsored lines. Once Comcast sees its lifeblood spilling into the streets, Im betting their CS will be as sweet as pecan pie

Id expect that since the idea is having your windows container running on a windows host, that each version of windows server will have a "this edition allows X number of containers" limit. This would line up with how they treat V

Think about it. If I know you, everything about you, I can sell directly to you. Not just things that are vaguely intersting to you, but to the most primal want you have. The key is getting an accurate image of who you are, tapping into the

The difference is that Verizon already had this code built, and charged $700/request to use it. The Lavabit founder was asking for money to develop and modify his code. Even if it was his code, there is no "standard" amount f
