Can't say I agree with this; Unicode may be ubiquitous for a number of spheres, but there are plenty of legacy systems that have trouble with things like "educated" apostrophes and ligatures like fi or æ. Your "can’t" after getting washed t

Good point, but it does end up depending on the vehicle. A 6 m^2 15% efficient array parked outside in a desert climate could generate 5.4kWh a day and over 37kWh a week. GM's EV-1 had efficiencies of over 6mi/kWh. As such, a vehicle cou

I don't think there is a single word for this phenomenon itself. The closest term for the respondent is "narcissistic rage". Perhaps "narcissistic groupthink" for the larger phenomenon of making the OP a heretic or pariah. As to what you

If this guy's track record is to make bad and ineffectual copies of up-and-coming business models, then neither you nor others would benefit/have benefited from being warned beforehand. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and inves

Would be nice to get an idea of the fee structure, if any, for successful matchups (even if you're free during your beta). Design of the splash is great, though your intelligent matching icon with its glowing eyes reminds me of certain reli
