   Dear Europe/America: Stop complaining about the "Great Recession" issue Search for it. It's been an issue for 5 years. Your request to fix it will not be answered. Just stop asking.

   The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland became the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland after Southern Ireland gained independence. After Scottish independence, I expect it would change to the United Kingdom of South

   Ubuntu for Android won't kill off PCs. It'll just mean that your phone/tablet is a PC, in addition to being a phone tablet. It won't kill off PCs, it will keep them alive.

   Before I do the whole "I forgot my Twitter password" dance, would you care to summarise what these e-mail notifications are about?

   If you're going to post fiction here --- and I'm really not sure that people want fiction posted here --- could you mark it as fiction in the link text, so that people who do not follow the link are not mislead into thinking the title is fa

   It's interesting that as societies get nearer to gender equality, men and women converge on how they select a mate. It's disheartening that the linked article chose to report this with such a sexist linkbait title.

   Link text is wrong: the article claims that most short-period binary stars merge to form a single star, NOT that most single stars were formed from the merger of a short-period binary star.

   Edit title please, should be 2007, not 1997.

    A downside of using '/' is that it is already used in Firefox to mean search-in-page.

    Typo in the first sentence: the link text “big-bang” should, I presume, be “bit-bang”.

    This means little unless we know how much pre-order stock there was for the various models. Were there as many of the iphone 5 available as there were of the iphone 4 when it was announced? More? Twenty times fewer?

    Please. Knee-jerk reactions like this don't help anybody. I didn't mention censorship, let alone advocate it (and I think censoring porn would do more harm than good).

    I agree that censorship is not the answer. I feel it would do more harm than good. And I agree that one more cookie-cutter porn site won't make much difference (but it would be part of the problem). The problem is really the porn available

    I get that perhaps some people are bored with the insistence that companies like Dropbox/Airbnb/etc are just money making machines and arguably (n.b. not my argument) don't make the world a better place... but porn sites seem to make the wo

    Far into the future, with the continuous slowing-down of Earth's spin, a day will last about 47 hours and the distance to the Moon will be 43 percent longer than today. At this point, Earth will spin about its axis at the same rate that th

    You seem to be confusing rationalisation with rational thinking. Rational thinking involves making logical deductions from a set of objectives and constraints to determine what actions to take. Ideally some of the constraints will be ethica

    What a ridiculously overstated headline. If there's any evidence the asteroid/comet/thing was heading towards Earth, it's not mentioned in the article.
