He allegedly dropped her off right around the corner from the sub's dock. It is technically an island, but it is right in (and part of) the Copenhagen harbour. That makes the story all the more strange - they ride around for a few hour

It terrifies me to think of relying on image recognition software to correctly determine an upcoming crossing road (with cars zipping across) so it can properly slow down, rather than get broadsided at full speed. Or a number of other life-

No comparable web properties have the dropoff that Facebook has (twitter, eBay, craigslist, even Yahoo which seems to be fading faster into irrelevance by the day).

I feel like I'm the only one who has a Wii U and likes it. There is definitely a dearth of games, but the first party titles are some of the best games available, for any platform: The various Marios, Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Pokemon To

Go bitcoin! An alternative monetary system can only be a very good thing, and bitcoin is one of a very short list of contenders.

A few minutes before the meeting, you slip away to the washroom. When you're sure everyone has left, you go back to your desk and resume work in the peace and quiet of an empty office. A few minutes before the meeting is scheduled to e

I've been in a street fight. The guy attacked, I pushed him back, he came again, I tried to hit him over the head with a beer bottle. He parried with his arm, crashing the bottle, then we tangled and rolled around on the ground a bit.
