If you are worried about that even with their privacy policy, you can have them just forward the mail to you physically without scanning. ECM doesn't scan the contents of your mail by default, only the outside of the envelope/package to OCR

Your "more available" point is so important to me that I'm willing to pay Uber prices for regular cabs if they can make that happen. I've used Taxi Magic and called in the past and never had much success in terms of reliability, and well, I

"their" may technically be plural, but in everyday English usage can be and often is used as a singular pronoun. It's a lot shorter than "his or her" and much more common than the likes of "zir". "Their" also has the benefit of being gender

It probably has to do with how word of this book and the book itself was practically viral among parents and the content was good enough to deem buying in hardcopy for a lot of those pirates. I was under the assumption that this is generall

I suppose if you are one to consider that and other performance boosts a main feature, the MBP makes a lot more sense to purchase. I'm not saying that the Air works for all people for all reasons. It definitely shows when it's struggling wi

The Air also has an SD card slot, and I never knew that was a make-or-break feature on a laptop. Here's the one spec that makes a noticeable difference to me every single day, the one that was even bigger of a deal than upgrading to an SSD

I actually had something like 12 SSD failures in the same machine in about 18 months, including 3 of those being an OCZ Vertex 2 and one Intel X25-M. Failures ranged from working fine to completely failing and not even being recognized the

A lot of asian markets have great deals and are worth going out of your way for deals if there is one near you. Everyone else is talking about fruit being expensive, but I go to Korean markets in LA that currently sell 5-10lbs of oranges fo

Yeah, I don't know what the big deal is either. I am a happy Zipcar member (for when I'm in SF) and I own my own cars (down in LA) and I drive a fair amount (30k+ miles/year). People driving around me would be lucky to have that kind of l

It is $200 or so for a decent 2.5" 128gb SSD that you can install into a laptop or a desktop (see http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&#3... ). The only real problem with that solution is that 128gb isn't enough for so

Opentable has a lot of tables for 4 for dinner at TFL, the key is to either get these tables 2 months in advance (the earliest you can get a reservation for a table) or to snag a cancellation in time.

I feel like people just have this need to pile on and add their negative review to things when they see other people doing it. Or maybe out of spite in a public place, just because they feel they have no other recourse and must warn others
