Let's not forget that it isn't just one policy agency wanting to buy these. It's every single department, in every single city, in every single state. That's thousands, if not tens of thousands, of departments buying the

$36 yearly $3 monthly $.75 weekly $.10 daily So, um.... I can literally walk around SF for 5 minutes and find a dime on the ground and then pay for 1Password. How in the world is that too expensive?

Sigh. Yet another Rent-A-Car service that people won't use. I'm tired of these countless companies taking up reserved spots in parking lots. Edit: I ride my bike to BART and use it to get into the city 90% of the time. However, it

UC Merced's chancellor's pay doubled over a 2-3 year span from 200k per year to 400k. They don't have a problem getting the money to retain talent, they just don't think paying faculty well is worth it

I think what the comment was trying to say is that there is only one way to get an Apple experience and that's to buy Apple products. For example, I can use Office on my Mac while I can't use Pages/Numbers/Keynote on my

That's because the Central Valley is basically as conservative as any Southern state. It's the main reason why I left there to move to the bay. I just couldn't handle their politics anymore.

I want to switch to Firefox because, lately, I've been trying to lessen my dependence on Google and Google services. All I need is a method to easily switch browser profiles!

Until Firefox has a method to easily switch between profiles, I'll stick with Chrome. I have a few different clients that I have seperate logins for and I like to keep all that completely separate while still only using a single browse

I don't know why people are trusting the checking service since it was built by the same company that leaked the damn info in the first place. This isn't even taking into account that it's a bare metal WordPress installation
