Review from a girl on this business: I went to see how the site was, found it more or less friendly and designed well enough to keep me on the page. Wanted to know how much the bras cost - they won't tell you until you login. Easy, quick lo

Well, the first recorded chemist according to Wikipedia on Perfume is female, but almost every other citing after this is male. Is there a reason your sons could not enter the cologne industry as highly capable chemists?

Thanks! That's affordable enough to buy and find out.

Apropos Engelbart’s Violin, I'd be interested to try a Microwriter. I think I'd pick it up quite well as I played piano for years. Did they ever make it into widespread production? Though I suppose you could make one quite easily with an Ar

To be fair, your flight being late is something that your travel insurance company should deal with. If airlines and travel industries had to subsidise late flights and erratic weather patterns they may go out of business. Get travel insura

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. You can buy now on Amazon a hand-crank LED light for $12, so surely these can be made far more efficient and cheaper with $200,000.

There's one difference with many of these examples: unlike experiencing a mean TSA officer going through security you can get someone to help you (family member, attorney), or request another representative. If you don't like your pat-down

That would depend on the eventual bit-depth I suppose. Maybe there is some micro-smoothing function on these new-fangled machines-of-the-future that will bring a new type of listening. It's not just the listening itself that gives pleasure

I know a lot of people (and am in that group) that would pay for high-quality vinyl 3D models once we all have a printer in our kitchens, especially for non-mainstream releases that have little chance of getting a wide distribution on vinyl

That would be a killer app, I'd pay for this.

Is there a Chrome extension that blocks flash/html5 video on certain websites? That would certainly solve the annoyance. If browsing facebook is critical to you you can always use perl. http://qscripts.blogspot.co.nz/2011/02/post-to-your-o

Such a massive infrastructure is expensive, and given that (arguably) the most useful open system, Wikipedia, constantly has funding drives it doesn't seem viable as a free, large-scale consumer-fronting service. I could see such a service

You couldn't pry the PaperWhite out my dead hands, I love it so much (as their 3 month wait-list also attests). If it took them some iterations to get there, it should be worth the wait.

For some, maybe some in New Zealand even, being able to go to Starbucks is an economic show of purchase power and has its own status associated in circles we may not frequent.

Living in a country where you're learning the language is a good way to get used to saying 'I don't understand'. When I was really bad at the language I just often sat there and hoped someone would translate for me but as my confidence incr

Well, now I took a closer look I'm seeing private photos switching back and forth. I'm waiting for a friend to confirm, but I see photos I posted to closed groups that have no relevance to others out of context. I'm waiting for a friend to

While a nice feature for games, in particular, can this be disabled in Firefox? It seems it would affect battery life.

It's about being technically feasible, not about having the political will. New Zealand is on there for example, I believe it has a single pipe therefore easily cut, but it would be highly surprising to see it happen by government cause (mo

I live like this, but I tend to circulate around the same places to see friends, and check out new countries as opportunities allow. It allows me to leave winter clothes in someone's closet (you don't want to live in Hawaii temporarily and
