I agree, this would most likely only pose much of a thread to people like celebrities, where the potential gain is very high. For the average person it's much more likely that the burglar is just using opportunity. For example they saw

I doubt I would use it personally. It's not something I would use often enough to justify adding another icon on my phone. Especially when I can just look on google for movie quotes. If it added functionality to find quotes by actors o

I don't know that lazy is the right word. If he moves to a more modern system and then turns off all of the modern automatic features and has no use for anything his current setup doesn't offer it's not really an efficient us

My guess (with nothing to back it up) is people will start moving into paterns of 963 852 741 or the reverse since they're easy to type on the numpad without really remembering the values. edit: On second look, that's exactly what

You seem to be making the erroneous assumption that everyone is motivated in the same way as you. Personally, if someone embarrasses me in a conversation in this way I'm going to feel like an idiot and resent them for making me feel th

I see what you're getting at and agree it could be offensive but it could also be Charles Spears. At the same time someone could name an account CharlesSpears and probably no one would find it offensive. It is interesting to think about whe

Agreed. Personally, whenever I study or do work in a coffee shop I try to regularly make purchases. I usually end up averaging between $1 and $2 per hour which I think is completely reasonable for the space, drinks, snacks, and internet ac

Is there a way to filter Amazon reviews by Verified Purchase? I'd love to see these stats with only people that we know have bought the game. I'm just curious of a way to eliminate all the people who made up their mind before the game even

Technical issues aside, the way AOL implemented poses some issues from SPAM I think. With AOL I could check and if I can't unsend I know they opened the email. If this worked across all email and I wanted to use email for nefarious purposes

In general, I agree with this. I speak to someone that's younger in a different manner than I do someone who is an adult. Not only that, I feel like someone starting out stands to be affected a lot more by negative feedback. In this case kn

I'm sort of torn on this issue. In a lot of ways I really agree with this article. On the other hand, with my experience helping with a first-year college programming course I care, in a way, about the age/level of experience. I might tailo

I agree with this but it shows an even bigger problem in my mind. It seems to me that the author has decided that employees attempting to automate bureaucratic tasks is worse than just doing it himself. This seems like a wildly inefficient

I agree on the marketing point. They could have one magazine with everything in it. It seems like, and forgive me if I inferred the wrong thing from your comment, that you are implying that some of the toys aren't gender neutral. I don't ha

I totally agree with these points. Especially regarding unsubscribe. For whatever reason a LOT of online business seem to think, "Hey if we make it a pain in the ass to unsubscribe they'll just keep reading our mailings." This is wrong and,

This could come with the same concern. If a lot of these Windows 8 installs are new machines or clean installs there may not be as much third-party software installed so crashes that happen are more likely to occur in Windows components. Th

This looks really interesting to me. Fascinating to see more augmented reality concepts being pushed out. I am interested to see if this will eventually be tied in with glass. Google really seems to be pushing towards ubiquitous computing
