Legalize it, and grow it in the valley like all the other crops. They estimate it would be about as cheap as tomatoes to grow, since it is cloned and planted by machines. I want to be able to hike in my back yard.

When sitting all day in front of a computer, I like to take breaks and use a jump rope. It helps get the blood flowing, and I'm able to think better and concentrate more easily afterwards. Also, many people have said it before, but squ

My boss told me something interesting the other day. AT&T has been around for a hundred years, and they have ran a lot of copper wire over those years. They also hired a lot of linemen to maintain the copper wire, and they eventually fo

Applied math major here. I strongly recommend you don't use websites to teach yourself math, with the possible exception of Khan Academy or OCW. Most websites or YouTube are only good if you already somewhat know the math topic, and yo

If it is a really critical system, the proper way would be a T1 circuit between the two buildings. The circuit would only go from one building to the local telephone office, back to the other office. They tend to be pretty reliable, but exp

I'm pretty sure you're trolling, but I'll feed you. I wasn't fully clear. Really what I meant is that the fan always spins at a slow speed. When the processor heats up, the fan doesn't speed up, and eventually the c

I never said it would fry itself. It actually just turns itself off, and I have to remove the battery and power cord to get it to restart. And I only had this problem on Windows 7. Every major Linux distro I tried had proper power managemen
