Really? You don't understand that the disclaimer "monitored by $human_name" on a page that contains a secret is off-putting on first reading? Of course I know what Stella is...now. I clicked on it pretty damn fast as soon as I saw it, bec

My secret was "monitored by Stella". Yikes! Perhaps lose the Stella promotion for this application.

Plastic pyrolysis and then subsequent cracking to diesel is not a scam. In fact, I know the guy behind http://www.agilyx.com/ which is doing the same thing. That Rossi attempted this in the mid 70's is interesting to me, and gives him mo

I like Amazon, but with a PE of 90, I can't make myself buy them. At some point in the future, when all their growth is behind them and they become a value investment as opposed to a speculative investment, they need to make me between 5% a

My 1.5 and 2.5 year old kids are both well acquainted with "Sprout" Channel, a preschool channel, and have been for over a year. Not only do they know what they are seeing on the TV, regularly talking about various stars of the channel, suc

You can't edit something that people have already signed, for obvious reasons. The best you could do is to delete it and start again. 2nd best, and probably the only option available to you, is to ignore this petition, stop promoting it, a

There is not enough room in the memory of the main line computers for all the programs of ascent, descent, and payload programs in flight, so the memory is loaded about four time from tapes, by the astronauts.

I went to the demo, saw the button, pushed it, got confused, and finally read the description of what exactly the plugin was supposed to do, at which point I went back to the demo and noticed the little arrow. As an unprimed user, I did not

You may choose not to call it technical debt, but you have to call it something, and it seems very much a debt to me. The term you use to describe it doesn't get to cast judgement as to the merits of the debt. The debt may be inherited de

It should be possible. I see this as the exact same situation as http://www.getaround.com/ , who are, according to techcrunch, "The Airbnb For Cars". They have a policy with Berkshire Hathaway that covers any damage to the rented cars. Y

I agree. They are apparently doing very well on word of mouth alone. I didn't even see the about link, I was just staring at this big signup form and some pictures of needle point. I must say, since I was expecting things like plastic inj

Nonsense. Either bitcoins are illegal now, based on already existing law, or they are not. If they are not already illegal, than the paranoid among us can say they will be made so later. However, such an action does not happen in a vacuum

Since it's legal for me to pay legal tender for software, for jpegs, for mp3's, and other digital constructs, how could a legitimate argument be made to make it illegal for me to pay legal tender for a bitcoin? Since it's legal for me to ta

Not paranoia. I don't care. If anything, I want it to happen, as I have a few VOIP ideas that can't compete with a free Skype everywhere. The reason to buy skype is for it's name, not for it's tech, as everybody agrees it's tech is not wo

I predict, based on the skype and nokia licensing deal (and this of course, if it's true) that MS will remove skype from the IOS and Android platforms, forcing anybody who wants mobile skype onto MS phones. This would cause a large reason
