Or, just for the politics of it, almost 1/6 of the increase in the national debt up to now since President Obama took office. Just saying...

No, you are still wrong. I am morbidly obese and struggle with my weight daily. It will kill me in the end but I want to know what you would do when your metabolism is so low that your normal body temperature hangs at around 97.2F and resis

Ah, the memories... Like most I started early with programming in assembly, C, pascal shudder and then discovering unix. I remember starting off by hacking the computer lab computers in my school. The lab staff had to log you in so they w

Hmmm... maybe more of an "opinion" fighter? I guess the terrorist him/her-self might consider themselves freedom fighters fighting for the freedom to do things their way but the other side obviously doesn't share their "opinion". Just my tw

Were you in Paris? Seriously, we had no problems anywhere else we went. It was just Paris. We visited Nice, Lyons, and Toulouse on our trip and had lots more fun in those places.

You know, I've never had trouble with Google customer support. I've contacted them twice: once for a Google Maps issue and again because I couldn't access my account. No problems for me. I find these kinds of complaints strange. Most of th

So, it happens on average every 150 years and that isn't a cycle in your book. That's fine for someone like yourself but for me I feel that we then need to redefine things like solar cycles and seasons which only happen on average as well.

It seems to me that there really are very few people who actually deny the earth is warming. There may be a very vocal minority in your circles but I don't see it in my travels. The only real question is how much of the warming is caused by

Seriously? What is the point of limiting yourself to one OS and then gripping about some app X not running on your flavor. Get a VM and buy a copy of Windows; problem solved. I have 4 OSes running on my laptop three of which are running und

I believe the concept of majority rules has worked well for America. Some would disagree of course but then they are just the minority.

It took me like 30 seconds, maybe 40, to open the box. Seriously. The two sealing strips peeled off pretty easily. The inner box was a little difficult to slide out but it wasn't "stuck". Maybe the packaging has changed since that video wa

I don't see in the article where the writer claimed there was a prescription involved. Just documentation that probably described things like what the purpose of the glasses was, how they were physically attached to his skull (that might r

Wow, sorry to hear about the assault and damage to your property. That is quite a way to wreck an otherwise pleasant vacation. I will say that I am glad to hear that I am not the only one to have been treated in a rather hostile manner at

I'm curious how this would work. If I were to use this API to create, let's say, Bingo for money. How would I use the API without going to jail for running a gambling operation? I mean, I'm in the US so I guess I could always find an indian

The pdf is nice and all but perhaps using an epub file format instead of an ibook format would have been nicer and more open. Edit: Never mind. It was a stupid suggestion. The pdf is just fine. Can't believe I had a moment of iPad jealousy

I suspect that just because there is a minority present doesn't mean that it is always tolerated; especially if an American is involved overseas. I believe tolerance changes with the winds (or whims) of time as it were. My friend's convicti

OK. I'm just trying hard at making a joke here so be patient... They could have a doctor ride along and examine the x-rays of the people they scan. The program could then be legal under an Health Care mandate! Easy solution! OK. Not so funn

I also wonder if a group of people could get together and purchase their own x-ray vans and position them at the homes and offices of the politicians who support these vehicles. The vans are safe, right? And it is OK to use them on citizens

I felt the same way. It is worse still in that I have never considered children as human beings -- I've always seen them as monster like. I then came back and re-read the post and had a realization. This is how I have learned to talk to m
