I agree about LDRs in the long term, but if you're apart for a period due to career or life circumstances it's different, and some working relationships can start long distance and work out if someone moves.

It would obviously be far from perfect, but for a LDR, the basic question would be whether it was better than phone sex, right?

Which is pretty funny to me, because this flat-out guarantees that I will not use their social features. As a currently non-transitioning trans woman, there are a great many YouTube videos that I enjoy but absolutely can not have associated

They make cases that are pretty good with shock resistance, and some phones are actually water resistant -- my last Motorola was. Other than "find my phone" features, I can't help you with losing it, however.

Considering that the company has burned through multiple CEOs already anyway, I think the case that the company was doomed if she didn't try some major moves is both obvious and compelling. The thing I like is that she's trying bo

Exactly. It was like ending work-from-home arrangements: probably a negative move for a generic company in a vacuum, but a reasonable risk for a company in trouble with Yahoo's specific issues. If the company is performing well in a co

Rock started as music most people thought was too simple to be interesting, and so did jazz and a lot of early electronic music. I think it's really premature to write off a music style most people haven't even heard of yet. Given

Though enforcement is a gray area as long as it's a noncommercial release and is not a realistic substitute for purchasing the original copyrighted content. Even the RIAA never tried to sue DJs releasing free online mixes they made.

So let's say that in 2050 all cars and trucks -- along with lawn mowers, leaf blowers, air compressors, etc. -- are based on electric motors descended from the current Tesla. So much so that internal combustion engines are completely o

At the same time, if this is a genuinely useful tool for its intended purpose, there are lots of exit strategy possibilities. It might be worth billions to a single hedge fund.

It's before my time, but my impression was that both TECO and EMACS originated as teletype line editors (as with ed and ex, the direct predecessors to vi), and were only later adapted to fancy new screen terminals. Am I mistaken?

To whatever degree the Journal made the decision, I expect it was either over cost or over their desire to have more control over their own technology coverage. ATD has a pretty huge following, and I can't imagine that they will have a
