It's been proven mathematically that any sentence that begins with, "Wouldn't it be better If Wikipedia had ads than [X]" has the property that it doesn't matter what X is, the answer will still be "no." F

Are you thinking of the LLC to hide your identity? I don't think that will work--the LLC is a legal structure that has your name linked to it in the state that is registered in. It sure sounds like you think the LLC provides more prot

If you or anyone knows: What's a rough starting salary range for "junior level" (what? programmer, I guess?) in the high cost U.S. cities (like SF, Boston, NY) and the lower cost rest of the country?

I would think having a great piano teacher would be key (pardon the pun). S/he is a coach, a motivator, someone who knows how to spot and correct your form (which is critical), knows which pieces are useful as studies at which points

Flossing religiously. I used to be Bleeding Gums Murphy, but no more. A dental hygienist showed me the proper way to floss and now I will get up at 4am if I somehow forgot to floss before bedtime, go into the bathroom, and floss. I'

I don't think your clear statement means anything, legally. What matters is the name similarity. If a soda company was called Pepsee and then stated, "We are not Pepsi, a registered trademark of the Pepsicola Corporation",

If you no longer have any more problems at all , sounds like you are either the next generation of humankind or you aren't pushing things enough. I suspect it's the latter.

It's not that my time and reading effort is so valuable (it isn't). It's that news forums are as valuable as they are curated to be on topic. With your argument, everyone could just post anything, such as what Justin B had

Much depends on what the sort of work you want to be doing down the road is. Does it require a bachelor's in engineering? Does it require a masters? Ph.D?

I don't think you should mix "substantial change in personality from high school" with "living on campus". There are probably millions of college students who live on campus for four years and make very little chan
