I can remember playing what is essentially the same game on an acorn computer in 80s, pretty sure a helicopter. All this talk is just a witch hunt by jealous people, ignoring how rare original ideas actually are.

I assume you don't use Snapchat then, because it should be fairly self evident. For one thing, snap chat is audio visual, email is not. The second is snap chat is designed to work in manner to capture the moment without interfering wit

Yeah thats right, quite often to holiday destinations they run specials like flights to Croatia $200, but you try and get a flight back $600. They recoup the costs on the return flight you need to take. But if you're in Croatia you can

I've been doing this for years. After I noticed most places are cheap to get to but flights are expensive back. I noticed the same business model was in place from the other direction. So just fake the country of origin and you get che

Yeah I grew up in New Zealand as well, and the article doesn't relate to any experience I've ever seen. Its a case of correlation doesn't equal causation. People don't ride bicycles in New Zealand because they have to we

Personally, I've always defined it as the ability to take two separate ideas and create a third one. The more creative people are, the more they have the ability to make a connection between two less related items. I've often noti

Not being from the states I've only seen this through documentaries and expose shows... but to me its just seems to be the police are starting to treat everybody the way minorities have said they have been treated for decades.

I look at it and think its a con. Coincidentally after a several massive thefts, the price suddenly raises? sounds like deliberate manipulation to dump stolen coins to me. Wouldn't mind betting some syndicate took a huge upfront loss t

True, I think most snatch and grabs are sold quick for cash and not identity theft anyway. But in a worst case scenario how quick could someone determined actually compromise you? minutes? less time than you'd wait on hold during work
