Are you aware of the twitter backlash? Are you also trying to say that imprisoned women are quite happy or unaware of their situation? Religious restrictions don't make restrictions right, if they are opposed by force. Your comments above a

I would adore it, given I was comfortable with its safety. Assuming it had high-speed internet it's a travelling hotel, and considering travelling itself is the worst part of travelling I'd welcome it to be pleasurable in itself.

I rarely travel for business: that one's been sorted by the internet. But I can't go long periods of time without seeing friends and family who are all over the world, and as I'm the one with the freedom I'm the one that travels. As a bonus

Given that they had the cash, Akamai's iPhone streaming service or they rolled their own. It's fairly well documented, search for HTTP Live Streaming. The kicker is building it out to manage thousands of connections without dropping quality

You can also be the sole member of an LLC, which is sufficient for having a U.S. bank account and doing business, if you're not looking for VC funds. Real estate agents deal with these kinds of LLC setups anytime for foreign real estate pur

What is so important to actually relocate to the U.S. rather than any other country, or stay where you are? (if you are lucky to be somewhere that's safe and respectful to your way of life). I travel to and partner with the U.S. as a core p

>I don't know where you got the idea that all traffic goes out of the country and back in again I hope so! It's what I was told, and of course it would make no sense. I'll have to ask them to show me some hop reports. Good to hear that

I don't believe this is true, at least for the larger ISPs (may be the case of Universities). A friend of mine owns a small ISP in New Zealand and I've discussed this with them as I assumed there would be a huge demand for local data centre

Anything similar to this for C++? We're looking for good teaching books at the moment.

I hope this, or something like it, takes off: http://www.hostmygig.com . It's a sad thing to see great unknown bands not be able to fill a tour or find the right venues. Look forward to seeing how they get the word out. Oh and a request? I

I imagine some form of computer prediction combined with intelligent buffering could minimize the effects of latency for many tasks.

Fair enough. But P2P applications can take the brunt of the load and you can run your API on Firebase or something. I look forward to innovation. I also would think that the boundary between server and P2P might start to blur, given suffici

What are the terms of service with this? Can I ask a friend in the area to install it and run some high-bandwidth services? I look forward to seeing whether this turns KC into a gold-mine town reminiscent of the 1800s. I don't even know wha

The language market has huge opportunities still to be found - I pay for a private language teacher because I like the custom attention, and I'd pay for a service that could enhance genuine learning. Good luck!

A video would be a really good idea, and I'd also recommend a trial that doesn't require a sign-up: if this were in any of the languages I'm constantly trying to pick up and it had a way of engaging me immediately without a sign-up I would

Can you explain how this is different from using any other domain registration service? It's not clear what the problem is, aside from not being GoDaddy et al, and how you are fixing it, as there are a number of reputable registrars availab

It's different than tenure, they don't have to teach and I don't believe it's associated with a specific institution. I'm not sure exactly what it's called or how it works, I'll have to call a friend or perhaps someone here from Mexico can

Mexico has an interesting take on this: if you get into the upper echelons of academia you can get a salaried do-what-you-want-publish-if-you-want job. Some of the country's best thinkers are paid to think.

How about someone invents a flip-out screen already? Then I can have a slim touch-phone and 1080p screen for those rare times I want to use a browser when I'm away from my laptop. We could use robotic pixels, to flip around when you need th

Yes, I want this phone but it's huge. Please google, someone - make a decent phone that's not the size of a giant's thumb. I guess they've done their focus groups and their whatevers and decided that people want more screensize but please f

To put it simply: exhaustion becomes superseded, or exchanged in kind, by fun as kids gain more ability to communicate and comprehend the world around them. It's up to you as the parent to decide what is fun and what's not: an engaged paren

I wish I could agree but a) 4 years old are just as exhausting (the first year is actually the easiest in terms of time you have available) and b) adoption is increasingly more difficult. I have friends who just adopted a baby after 5 years

by marquis 14y ago
Having children when you're young is a good idea primarily because kids are exhausting, and take up a LOT of time. Have them as young as you're able and wanting to do so: nothing to do with your gender. Men have fertility issues as they age

The specs say "NETWORK Unlocked GSM/UMTS/HSPA+ GSM/EDGE/GPRS (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz) 3G (850, 900, 1700, 1900, 2100 MHz) HSPA+ 21". So I'm also assuming this means you can use it worldwide with any SIM, I've used my older LG android all
