   So, when you log into the Bank of America website, you want to be greeted every time with things like the following? "Dude, maybe you should sell this car that you're paying $450 per month for and get a $7000 used car." &quot

   I'm not the GP and think we probably should have more socialized hospitals. But suggesting people who oppose publicly funded freeways should boycott publicly funded freeways is silly. Imagine an office Christmas party where everyone is

   I would pay an extra $X per month for a handful of public, statically allocated ip addresses for the boxes in my house. Ipv6 would make that easy for my isp, but they're still never going to do it.

    That sounds really neat. Did you DIY all the solar and wind installation? Any pointers to resources about that stuff that I'm not likely to find easily by googling?

    Even if they had zero carbon footprint, they could still be a waste. If making them uses more energy than they'll ever produce, you might be better off just using that enery to charge some batteries and then use the batteries in place

    If walkers are allowed to walk on the left whenever noone is standing in front of them, then I will naturally tend to avoid standing on the left. Unless the left is already blocked by other standers.

    How much did that company recover of the files? Is it possible that tan deliberately deleted them in such a way that they could be recovered forensically? That might save him from getting caught, and his "handler" overseas could

    Is public life in reality so much different from what it was 20 years ago? I've been assuming that most politicians are basically behaving the same, but that public sentiment about politics has taken a turn for the worse.

    I've never worked crazy hours. Never more than 50, sometimes more like 35. But if you work on a product that the business depends directly on for it's income, you should expect on-call time. If your team has it's act toget

    I don't think an explicit trading scheme is required. Each country needs to put a price on carbon, taxing fossil fuels at the point where they enter the national economy (mine, refinery, port, whatever). They also need to put a price
