Why sit and twiddle your thumbs for an hour (increasingly becoming upset with your business partner) when you can whip out your laptop and get some work done instead? Or your cell phone to talk with the family/friends?

Bing was actually more accurate than DDG. It provided a local apple store which I know of as the 5th result when DDG just showed the generic untargeted bing results.

One thing I feel the need to address, as does N.W.A. in many of their songs... Bitches != All Women (when it comes to oldeschool rap lyrics at least) A "bitch" in ebonics/early-hardcore-rap is a scandalous/hated woman fo

They don't hide them. Apparently every parisienne is aware of the fact that their subways are suicide targets and they just gracefully ignore them. I was astounded when I learnt about them initially to say the least.

I only tell my friends that programming is simple as a way to encourage them to get started. Once they have begun, I tell them "sure, basic programming is simple, but you need to think hard about what you really want to do". That

Most subway stations I have frequented can certainly afford losing 10 or 20 centimeters of platform space so I wouldn't be too concerned.

I am sorry to hear that that is a common train delay reason experienced in Japan. I have never been. Apparently Japan has an abnormally high suicide rate too. It ranks 10th in the world according to wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia

That's not really an option for a 95 year old woman whose friends only know and use the phonebook, unless she wants to risk losing contact with probably half of them.
