Once again, that's YOUR thought process. It seems that you happen to link events together to remember an outcome. By simply knowing a few pieces of information, it's not likely most will "solve" the outcome. This has nothing to do with writ

I agree, but only for certain subjects. For example, I was able to use a note card with equations for my physics courses. Memorizing equations is absolutely pointless; it doesn't test your comprehension of physics nor does it hint at your l

I can't stand cyber-bullying because for the most part there's no risk involved and it's so easy to leverage any scenario. It's easy to fight someone anonymously. Anytime I think of cyber bullying the video comes to mind where the scrawny l

I don't know if it's what you said as much as brainwashed religious folk who are scared of change. I find it interesting how one can justify sexual descrimination but not racial, as if you have any say in your genetics. Just listening to Ri

Am I the only one that notices this seems to be the case with a lot of tech companies? It seems like most non-tech industries are still full of baby boomers who are far less accepting than the younger generations who make up these types of

I'd really like to hear your explanation for why you have no obligation. Just because pirating isn't theft in the technical sense, it doesn't mean you're excempt from paying for someone else's work if you use it for their intended purposes.

No one here even discussed the thought that musicians don't deserve to be paid. Wide-scale piracy is not a way to "stick it to the man." This is not a teen angst movement. Pirating is so massively done because it's convenient. There aren't

Now if only they could make electrochromic gorilla glass that will "white" out your screen after failed password attempts. On second thought, it would probably result in worse than Android battery life.

That "loophole" you're talking about is known as carried interest. Carried interest exists for a good reason (at least to my understanding); so that partners can with less capital can build sweat equity. Sure there are people who take advan

The whole "imitate me and I'll sue" mentality is eventually going to stop innovation when we get to a point that you can't even use the same features regardless if they are accomplished in opposite ways. This reminds me of Ford's stance whe
