eBook prices are too high for what you are buying. There are no printing costs, no shipping cost, and for most books, miniscule marketing costs. Why are most eBooks more costly than their paperback counterparts?

I beg to disagree. That makes the assumption that alien civilizations are in the same technologic era as the earth. I don't see any reasons to believe they'll be using the RF spectrum. Simply because RF is about all we can manage

Just because Snowden says something does not make it newsworthy. It's more likely that we and the aliens wouldn't be using the same technology.

A number of years ago, this practice was known as the "good enough to ship" philosophy and attributed to Microsoft. Mr. Patel nailed it. This does a disservice to the client by giving them a bug ridden product that had neither suf

IMHO, it is important to share such an occurrence about a contracting employer with those in your field who take contract work. Standard & Poor had that habit in the 90s. It wasn't worth the grief to pursue them, but I did pass alo

Good thoughts, where they stayed on the topic. Too much political commentary for me.

Picking a luggage lock is kind of trivial once you have enough practice.

The cow are gets a single capsule (either a single alnico magnet or a plastic capsule with smaller ferrite magnets in it, but the same size) about the size of your thumb. It never passes from the first chamber. The Buckyball magnets are rar

They might not work everywhere, but they often fit in better than a bare antenna array. Along NJ's garden state parkway is an example.

Once you pass security you can probably grab a decent sandwich and a couple packs of snacks from a food stand/court, too.

If you have a preference for a hot meal, check if the specials are heated. I've had a couple of cold (they were supposed to be cold) meals that I didn't really like. I agree about the alcohol. If I'll need to start working as

I heard "Always carry out more than you brought in," and try to go with that in mind when I can manage a good hike.

It probably has something to do with the amount of data. The file I did when I checked was 11k. I think it's a pretty cool trick, too.

Deceptive and legal. Just like the mayo. In the two market chains where I shop, they have all the organic products (except for the organic versions of main-stream products by the same company) on both sides of one aisle, not inter-mixed wit

Hi there, I've never seen a 4k monitor screen set up as a working monitor. Would you mind posting a pic somewhere of what it looks like full of application windows? I'd just like an idea of how much I could fit on one. I've b

Great chart. Thanks.

Okay. So, what about the others? Putting forth several (dozens?) cases where solitary was wrongly imposed does in no way make that case for the majority, now does it? Given that logic, you could make the argument for a single incident of &l

Absolutely, just like Hamburger and Burger. Mayo is a nickname, as is burger. The egg board is just a smiley face for people having a vested interest in selling eggs. They aren't English majors. The lawyers will open a dictionary and p

They call it "vegan mayo" so you know what the real product it replaces is. Just like the vegan burger patties. If they didn't specify, then their product could be just about any sort meat patty replacement. This way you know

Good info. I'm perhaps too paranoid.

Without any agenda, I suggest you research why some prisoners are in permanent isolation. A large percentage of them are there because they assault/murder other inmates or guards.

I wish someone would have answered my question. I did like learning the music trivia, though. I like them.

The things I learn visiting here amaze me. I liked their music but never placed a group/faces to songs I saw one on MTV with PC as lead. I thought they formed the group with that format.

You should all be using a VPN, even if it only connects to a server in the next city. It's more for basic privacy from their intrusion more than anything security related. The less your ISP knows about you, the better off you are.

Would you be willing to bet on the presence of built data reporting so that they can flood your browser and email with suggestions for new movies?

Is this a case of wealth UK residents fleeing to less tax-greedy locales and leaving the land for whomever is willing to deal with inland revenue?

I think Mr. Burkeman should check the facts before he goes on about difficult electronic cash transfers in the US.

This could easily be solved by making a random selection of jurors and alternates from the available pool. have everyone reporting for selection draw a numbered ticket from a hat. No names, no faces, no questions about what you do for a liv
