I have a friend who got a new job, then gave it up because his previous employer "reminded" him that he had signed a non-compete. Now, we're both in Ohio, where it likely would have been enforceable, but the point I'm ma

Hey, quick question, I just noticed the subtitle of Diamond Age is "A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer" - are there actually illustrations in the book that I'd be missing if I bought the Audiobook rather than a printed co

I think that just "suspended" would be more appropriate than "permanently suspended". Although, it seems that the reality of the situation is closer to "your account is permanently banned unless you manage to raise

I think the problem is less that they temporarily banned his account, it's more that the language of the message was completely false. There was no "careful review", and it was not permanent. Also, as others have pointed out,

Agreed! The thing about 6ghz is that it doesn't travel through walls as well, and tends to have shorter range in general. On the surface, this seems like a negative, but if you're in a crowded apartment building, it can actually b
