Yep, google was complacent until Bing showed up. Then google released instant results, improved its images and video results. Bing had a better version of initially). Competition is good.

Yes, because I split the cost with my sister a couple of towns away so it'll still be $50-60 a year. I don't receive the video benefits since I'm not the primary subscriber but Netflix is enough for me.

I'm not offended, not sure if it's sexist but I think it's immature and unprofessional. Kinda like a fart joke.

Usually I agree with the whole slippery slope angle but I don't think you want to hang your legal hat on THIS case. Wait for a more redeeming party and case imo, there's value in having some sympathy for the defendant. These are

the Tuskegee experiment?? Just no, no no no. I don't think any black person nowadays thinks "Wow, can't go into the medical field because of that experiment that happened 40 years ago!" That's just illogical.

Oh yeah, I hate the "what do you want your monthly payment to be" line. I hate being treated like an idiot also hate canned sales line, talk to me like a person not a mark.

" he realized, isn’t a movie about technology. It’s a movie about people" That quote, from the article, could be applied to every apocalyptic, zombie and robot movie. It's not about the [X], it's about how people react t

"We rank our top 10 priorities and CT [counterterrorism] is first, counterintel is second, cyber is third.." I'd love to know how they're doing on #3, I'm not optimistic.

I'm just not sure how you can ignore the fact that his employer is NSA. By proxy, he's doing evil (at least imo). He chooses to work for an agency that breaks the law. Do we just turn a blind eye? If he was answering phones there,

In a (more) perfect world, the NSA would put considerable resources towards stopping this activity as opposed to spying on their own citizens and allies. A guy can dream...

Umm, most electricians, I imagine, know how to ground a pump. Also, it wasn't isolated ( http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/05/28/soldier.electrocutions/inde... ). There were 12 electrocutions. After the

This is why I wouldn't let my kids EVER enlist. The government has no regard for its enlisted. Doesn't take a genius to think our navy would be in harm's way during a RADIOACTIVE DISASTER. Reminds me of when soldiers were b

I agree there's an increasing demand for big data but I think the OP is overreacting. I think there's going to be a big demand for internal LOB apps, mobile apps etc for a long time. Not everything is big nor needs to scale. Can&#

They should but only 40-50% do, I write "Ask for ID" on the signature portion. The ones that read it, ask me for it. Better than a signature that a cashier won't question anyhow.

I have a strong feeling she knew it was coming. Some people will do anything for a chance for TV time/infamy. Remember the hot air balloon kid's family? Also, her license AND her close-to-naked selfies posted unknowing online? Sus

EVEN IF he did had drugs in there, this would still be not right to me. Aren't there more effective ways than this to combat drugs? Let it go. IMO, everyone related to this case (besides the victim) should be fired, divorce

I'd be ok with that but he was her employer. She's in a really tough position. If it was a co-worker, it'd be a different conversation imo.
