Depends on what you mean by Full. Here is Los Angeles the downtown core is completely built. You'd need to tear down existing structures and purchase the land to do so.

Here in SoCal crime is the worst we've seen since the 90's. Property crime is rampant, tons of shootings, assaults etc, just in my local area. Not only that, DA's are not prosecuting criminals, therefore police aren't ar

Should be interesting in the years ahead. Europe appears to be getting poorer and that may accelerate as these European governments have to spend more on defense to counter Russian ambitions. The French are pretty adamant about retirement a

Happened to me today. First got the message on my computer that my location was unknown and needed to enter a code from the phone. By the end of it, I had to reset my Apple password. No idea why it happened.

I'm really excited for this. This company seems to be able to get these projects going.

I'd have to agree. The market for electric vehicles in the US seems to be saturated. If they can somehow add in a plug in hybrid, I could see them gaining sales. That won't happen though.

I’m a musician, not anywhere as good as Beato, and I can hear out on tune instruments quickly. I saw the Smashing Pumpkins back in 94 and could instantly hear that they were out of tune. After the first song one of them switched out their i

Japan has outsourced their manufacturing to other countries and take the profits back home. Seems to be working for them.

That is correct. Greek slaves were tutors to some of the most powerful people in the Roman government. Polybius was kept as a hostage in Rome for 17 years and was a close associate of Scipio Aemilianus, who sacked Carthage at the end of the

I see that Harvard's endowment is currently around 50 billion dollars. I suppose with good investments that could last for a long time, provided that Harvard doesn't need to dip into it to fund daily operations. Harvard's ann

It's pretty simple why these Unix vendors all died. Linux and Intel chips. Sure you could get a really nice Sun system at the time with all of the redundancy tech built in, which cost around $50k. Or you can go and get 4 or 5 Linux ser
