The word is "loan", they gave you a loan for which you are expected to pay interest. Also if you're aware that comparable bank loans can be cheaper why not investigate that? Lastly, if you don't need the money, all you d

Right, but where did the article come from at all? Is it a common misconception that the placebo effect is a 'trick'?

Pardon my ignorance, but why do you see this as an Android-only problem? Surely every possible operating system suffers the same problem, no?

A sole proprietorship is not a business entity. There is zero difference between a sole proprietor business and a person. I'm not sure how you got this confused, but it sounds like you need to speak to an accountant. As far as how you

It's not locking out other chargers, just the fast charging feature. Poorly implemented fast charging can ruin your phone's battery quicker than most anything else, so really the issue here is would you rather have google try and

Well according to the original article, the attack was targeted, implying the only way to get such a thing would be from one of the compromised customers, who are probably involved in an investigation into the matter, don't have all of

Current Tesla owners volunteered their time to help new customers take delivery and get familiar with their new vehicles over the course of a single weekend. I think you're going to have a hard time getting any of the people involved t

That's not an argument. You should look at the example in the wikipedia article I posted. The poster formed an opinion based on observations and gave his reasons for doing so. If you disagree with his observations, the best way to do

The legislation doesn't target Amazon specifically, just corporations who are leveraging government welfare programs in order to get away with underpaying their employees. Wal-Mart is the company that would be impacted the most by this

Hence your company policy. With AWS you are the company, and you should be allowed to set your own policy, and decide things like whether you trust yourself enough to store a backup key in a safe or something similar. Suggesting Amazon shou

Allowing a company to access your e-mail via a token is not very different than just giving them your e-mail password. I think the article does a poor job of differentiating the fact that this has little to do with gmail, and everything to

Consulting the internet it looks like they have 560,000 employees.. which is quite a lot, but only halfway to a million. Technically you could say any company is "approaching a million employees".. some just slower than others. Th

This same sentiment was echoed just as strongly after the last major redesign (when they went from straight text to adding thumbnails and more whitespace). The majority hated it, rebelled against it, said that the change in the way content

Saying that you can make nuclear waste disappear is an extremely ignorant (bordering on negligent) thing to say. The hope that a dead project started 40 years ago might be brought back to life is hardly a "don't need to worry abou

Your point is valid, but other than the acronym used to get people talking about the bill, Amazon is not targeted directly. Wal-mart would actually be impacted much more than Amazon as they employ 5x the workforce, and has arguably been the

Is that really a problem with the equipment though? They explain exactly this in the booklet it comes with. If a sphygmomanometer gives an inaccurate reading because the doctor doesn't put the cuff on properly is the machine to blame?
