You are encouraging people to read it first... but then you say it provides only visas and not green cards while the text says, "...Overhauling the country's legal immigration system, including attaching green cards to advanced degrees...".

You have used the Econ 101 concept to suit your view. From the point of view of software buyer when prices go up demand goes down. Which means less opportunity to grow which equates less employment. It works both ways.

Fair enough. I wrongly assumed that you are out with the pitchfork.

Honestly I'm not suggesting anything. All I'm saying is that this contract is optional. People can buy full price and say fuck-you to the contract. In fact I have gotten iPhones cheaper from AT&T by buying locked and immediately buying

Okay... but I still don't understand your point. You are saying that the contract exists so that telcos can push additional services (over limits, roaming etc.). But there is also an unlocked option. Are you saying that people are not aware

If you turn off the phone and leave it in a drawer you will pay the minimum fees. The phone companies are aiming for the maximum. That is having you go over the limits, pay roaming etc. By letting you unlock the phone it opens the door for

"Except that unlocking the phone doesn't free anyone from fulfilling their side of the original contract"... it does, the contract now says that you can't unlock the phone. If you do you break the contract.

It has got everything do with carrier subsidy. If you don't want the subsidy they will sell you a unlocked phone. Problem solved.

You are not paying the roaming charges if you unlock your phone. Thus breaking your agreement.

Here is an almost bizarre theory. When your salary crosses the average number your enjoyment of things that you can buy with money goes down drastically. You have much more appreciation of the used car that you bought out of college as the

Not sure if this is related but I started using this goo.gl extension and it has been great to paste links in emails. I use it all day long especially for Google docs links. http://goo.gl/Ya1kC

Towards the end of the interview the interviewer told me, "your turn to ask me questions". I said, "I have this puzzle for you...". He turned pale for a moment and then laughed at the joke. I wasn't joking.

Is this equivalent to building your own Disney Land if they ban you from entry?

Why does the home page have no information on what it is except, "A new way to talk to each other"?

Is there a browser based solution equivalent to MS Excel pivot charts? I know of chartio.com, but they seem to be pretty expensive. Office 360 maybe?

So, considering that under 5% of the ventures succeed, college set you up for almost certain success? Seems like a great thing to me.

Since I'm not as pretty as Samantha I suspect my page would look this good to glance at. Also with the grid view my eyes won't know what direction to travel in. So I fear that my page would be neither pretty nor functional.

In cases like this I have always wondered if you could ask the judge/jury if they would also shut down Dell, Microsoft, Apple etc. as the wares from these companies are also used?

Similarly the air you breath is not free. But if we were to get that technical we will have to invent words for various levels of "free". In this case let's just agree that the title meant "no exchange of money".

Sorry that you are getting down voted and being called a troll for suggesting that patent and IP laws serve a purpose. I guess the down voters would be comfortable investing a billion dollar in R&D for a drug that Walgreens can copy in

The suggested functionality is already present in the UI and also it is not as intrusive. It is the blue arrow when you start navigation. You are supposed to keep turning till the blue arrow aligns with the blue route. It is not very effect

8.5 hrs weeknights and 10.5 hrs weekend nights. I would like to reduce weekend nights to 8.5 hrs and invest that in tennis or racquetball.

Education is not enough. It needs to be converted into "knowledge that can be applied". That is the part that college handles. I would much rather go to a surgeon that has gone to college/univ over someone who has read all about surgery on

If you don't have an idea of what you want out of college it is best to figure it out fast. And even if you don't have an idea you are better off in college meeting a whole bunch of people and attempting to figure it out.

Besides the edge cases and exceptions what you are told from a very young age is accurate. You can look at the income data for people who have univ degrees vs. those who don't.
