   That name may not go over so well in the West. "Lolli" carries connotations of child porn.

   That's a broad and rather incomplete generalization. I spent two years in a California high school and two years in a Texas high school. I have seen first hand how terrible schools can be in CA and, conversely, how fantastic they ca

   I lived in Houston and San Antonio for several years. I grew up in the Bay Area and I now live in Boulder. I've also lived in Wyoming and France. Having sampled a fair number of places, I can safely say quality of life in Houston and

    Exactly. Shell isn't at all worried about their reputation. They find Greenpeace amusing more than anything. Arctic oil is expensive and at current prices just isn't profitable. Watch to see if they keep the drilling licenses o

    Facebook used to have this feature but I can't find it anymore. I only found out about it after meeting someone in Tokyo and have never been able to find the feature since which leads me to wonder if it's geofenced.

    Target funds are also clearly geared towards people not yet at the point where that will make any difference. That's why they have such a low minimum. They're a stepping stone until you have enough capital to qualify for Admiral

    I took computer science at a high school in Texas (graduated in '08). We were taught everything from basic imperative programming to analysis of algorithms (and this was just a public school, not a magnet school). I keep in touch with

    I graduated from a Texas high school in 2008. Never heard a peep about intelligent design and the school was 1000% better than the school I moved away from in California. The two weren't comparable—the CA school was a prison, the Tex
