I worked for a company that had a similar take on spending. The company was extremely profitable and brought in greater than 1 billion dollar in revenue. Yet any PO that was greater than $100 needed approval by the CEO. Not only that, the

This is not a "few weeks." They took away his internet access years ago and before that he stopped sending his PGP keys. There has been no "proof of life" for a very long time.

When was Assange last actually seen or hear from? Some people think he isn't actually alive anymore and/or he's been taken away from the embassy for some time. What evidence do we have that he's actually still at the emb

A lot of people don't realize how fragile semiconductors are with regards to reliability. It takes a TON of work to get a virgin part ready for "production." There's huge pressure to get it out the door and it goes out

Why do they need to raise money with this much revenue?

Why didn't buffalo and bison evolve to have stripes? Seems they would benefit from having them.

Perhaps, but it could start a fire. You might consider plugging into a power supply and measuring if there is any current draw.

Earth has no feelings - it's just a large rock floating in space. It doesn't care about anything or anyone, and it will eventually get destroyed by cosmic fate. So what's left? People. We are the essence of anything meaningfu

False. If your small business is barley making it - any and all money goes directly back into the company for survival. If you're on the edge of going under, any additional money you can keep on the table increases the chances of survi

Many, many businesses are barely making it - so taxes them more goes right to their bottom line. Perhaps the tax rate on business should be progressive, so that businesses working to stay afloat don't sink, and those that are chock ful

My first reality check in paying taxes came when our startup finally generated some real revenue. It was exciting... We started hiring employees, investing in a bigger office, etc. When time came to pay our taxes - it was a humbling experie

Reminds me of the video game way back in the 90's called "Time Traveler". This was in the expensive section of the arcade and cost around a dollar to play - a huge premium over the nickel machines. My brothers and I finally d

Generating heat from electricity is nearly 100% efficient, so the round trip is probably a lot higher than you think. Plus, we're dealt with some pretty competent engineers here. I'm pretty sure they ran through the napkin calcula

Shame on them for trying - your attitude stinks. I've backed a few small projects and they came through; however, if they had a similar story to this and failed I would certainly be understanding. When you back a project on kickstarter

FYI, Google tracks you even on airplane mode. So the second you jump back on Wifi your location history is updated. With dead reckoning calculations using your accelerometer and other sensors they know EXACTLY where you've been. Not s

PVC actually does pretty well against mold growth. It's the organic materials that are usually the biggest problem. Metals, glass, and dense plastics are fairly mold resistant.

One problem with bamboo is that it easily grows mold. So even if you treat the outside it's entirely possible mold is growing on the inside. I'm sure there are some good ways to "dip" bamboo and coat it in something to p

We live in Hawaii and mold is a huge problem here. There are times during the day when the dewpoint spread is only a few degrees. This means that any object that is cooler than the air temperature will condensate. If you can't contro
