It is completely irrelevant if Google takes a cut or not. Google uses the restaurant's brand name to enable one of their delivery partners to undercut the restaurant's own delivery system. The nature of the partnership between Goo

People who still build magical red buttons and DNS blockers aren't that far gone, they can still build stuff. Most of us are completely paralized on our couches, drooling at the telescreen while a steady dose of soma is administered. W

I think the gp was referring to the filter in your own brain, that was set up by watching western media. The idea that you are somehow immune to this is unsustainable - I'm sure avid Putin fans feel the same, after all they have access

The obvious solution to this is to change the design of the cable so that it won't emit significant electromagnetic radiation. For example, a coaxial cable will successfully contain magnetic fields for both AC and DC lines.

In high density cities, the idea of covering the unsightly parking and keep the people and greenery out into the sun is a no brainer. It's even better for the car. But in some cities, for example highly priced London areas, people have

I don't understand high density housing in low density neighborhoods with huge empty lawns. Seems an artificial, Le Corbusier style of utopia where the actual inhabitants are forced to conform to the architect's vision of how they

Regarding the throwaway accounts, I wish there was some way to delete old comments. I think I have the moral right to control their lifetime, and occasional gaps in 5 year old discussions will not really matter to anyone. Without such an
