In that case they could have done all that before having the "global network of users assembled".

You should check again. While food prices haven't quadrupled they have doubled... According to the IMF Commodity Price Index, at least. http://www.imf.org/external/np/res/commod/index.aspx

Like what? Chat and games are excluded, as Facebook was doing that before having a global network of users assembled.

A microphone is a mechanical device, so it will always produce output regardless of what your volume settings may be. To get technical, you are controlling the gain of the volume of the stage after the microphone. So in the real world the

To say the mp3 was not well received before the iPod is goofy. You remember Napster right?!

Thanks for the concept epikur! This is better, but it seems this design would not work on very busy roads. You would never get a chance to cross oncoming traffic due to the volume. This does seem perfect for most Midwestern highways where

It is funny that you mention Eloi and Morlocks. Just last night I caught a few taped television commercials and was wondering who their target audience could possibly be. I brought up the concepts of Eloi and Morlocks and a cultural, inte

You mean kill the civilians nearby the pedestrians? That would be an interesting startup!! Someone has been beta testing in the Middle East for some years now...this tech can't be far off.

I wish the US/state governments would do the same thing. I hate how the green left-turn arrow is the first thing to light at a stoplight. This penalizes efficiency and rewards a behavior that costs us all time and energy. Why is it like t

This is probably most dependent on the video card and drivers that you have available. A good video driver should allow you to adjust things such as the overscan %, centering, etc. to get the best picture possible. I know from experience u

I never understood this. I believe even Visual Studio defaults to having the line numbers off. So even though errors are reported as to which line number they are on the line number is not displayed on screen by default!? Is there reasonin

If you're asking me that question I have to say that for the most part I don't care about the ads one way or the other. In the second paragraph I pointed out that we don't have to imagine your scenario because there was a time with no ads i

Nobody was waiting for really bad things to happen. The current system was in place before the bad people got there. As an example, nobody was worrying about an AIDS vaccine in the early 1700s...because AIDS wasn't a problem then.

The Iranians are shooting themselves in the foot then by claiming that they jammed the navigation to bring the UAV down. The US can then claim it was over protected airspace at the time and that the Iranian actions brought it into Iranian a

I just wanted to reply and show my support. Whether I agree or not with what you said there is some definite closed-mindedness going on here. Why downvote someone based on an opinion?

Here is the post I am quoting: The UK has a large problem with fake Pound coins.... Which states produce them remains a mystery, though some think it is the USA/CIA After this quote a link was provided. That link did not mention anything

No it's not difficult to separate the two. You test a bunch of people that have never smoked and see what the effects are. I bet this has been done before.

I think this method is inevitable. Either that or a protocol/standard to handle them all. As it is now we'll eventually run out of real estate on the screen for 'like' buttons.

My 2 second fix would be to weigh the profile concerning required/non-required sections being filled out. This may be a tell as to spammers.

I personally consider Facebook, etc. to be lame wastes of time and consider those buttons tacky and unneeded. It seems a simple browser plugin could still allow Facebookers and Diggers and whomever else the ability to poop back and forth as

You're correct. I guess it could be viewed as an insurance policy against falling out of the top search results? The other viewpoint would be that it prevents your competitors from doing the same.

The idea of wearing the same thing everyday is hardly 'outside the box'. Baseball players, judges, police officers, firemen, hospital staff, waitresses, painters, plumbers, construction workers...I'll stop now. Oh wait....bums.
