I'm assuming it's 90 billable hours. He said he waited two hours to do a ten minute procedure, sounds like most of his day is spent waiting rather than working.

He is a hero, but he gave confidential government information to foreign powers. Objectively speaking, he betrayed the NSA and the US government. That's treason Debating whether or not what Snowden did was treason is, I think, folly. Y

Same. I complained about the rates I was given by my auto insurance company and they said it was because I had no credit. I told them I could easily pay 12 months up front, didn't matter. I told them I could prove my income was more th

The idea of a safe space is exactly what you what you said was the problem with free speech though. Any given person's "safe space" will be a place where their opinions are the only ones, so they're not challenged or off

It definitely is in some places. I was unable to log in at the Santa Monica pier on Saturday night with T-Mobile, but those in my party with Verizon were unaffected.

The answer is literally bigger batteries. I'd rather have a phone that lasts all day than one that's a millimeter thinner than it was last year. I carried around a 14oz 1" deep Cassiopeia Pocket PC in my pocket for years, a s

That's because you're screen is rotated the wrong way. Looks like this site was designed for the most common user, who is on mobile and has a lot more vertical real estate than horizontal. That's not a material problem really

To clarify even though it's probably too late. She couldn't do division or multiplication of any size in her head, and was fuzzy on what occasions to use them in. For example, if you said "pay me back over 3 years for this $3

I've found ebay is a great place to sell smaller, cheaper things that I probably couldn't find a buyer for on craigslist. Stuff of lower value (<$50) that I wouldn't mind losing anyway really, like an extra laptop battery
