If UPS existed 110 years ago: "After years of horse drawn cartage, we're going petroleum first, and we're very excited about it." Of course digital first should be the first inclination. Succeed where the success is, not where the past has

I think the point to be gleaned from this article is not "start a business and then retire on the proceeds from its sale." As the article states, people aren't buying businesses at a rate that makes that a sensible strategy. The more immedi

I was pretty pissed to realize that my Epic, that cost as much as a small PC, would not likely enjoy updates for very long, certainly not the life of the phone. Coincidentally, because of my personal recession I've backgraded to an old feat

Excellent advice, often ignored. To your comment, I would add that you shouldn't limit your problem to something small or "doable." List and describe as grandiose a problem as interests you, then carve out a piece of that problem whose sc

Anonymous lists the names of Portman's children in the attack. I don't have much problem with the "attack," which mainly lists Portman's public information. But his children are innocents and vulnerable, and it's beyond the pale to involve

Never heard of it, just tried it. I can see this ending up being my favorite browser, if I can peel off the time to figure out bookmarks. If I understand, the answer is "manage them yourself," which is mostly thrilling if slightly off-putti

If the jackal is breaking your windows you'll probably do something direct and immediate to defend yourself. If it's slinking just beyond the tree line you might decide to put another log on the fire and sip hot chocolate.

Probably the trailer, as we think of it in the movies, is too expensive. Trailers are shown to and amortized across a national audience, and I assume are placed in front of movies where the audience will have a positive response. That said,

When a farmer drives his harvester through a field, most ears of corn get profitably harvested. [Work with me, I'm a city boy.] A few ears get trampled and destroyed. The farmer doesn't grieve for the trampled ears, and he does little to no

Anything on TV more widely available than public access is, almost by definition, mainstream. Even the non-mainstream shows are mainstream, their selling point being that they're "non-mainstream." If a show doesn't make big dollars for the

It's every federal employee's role, including the TSA and Congress, by the oath they take to protect and defend the constitution. The military, as well as some state employees, all take similar oaths. It's job number one. https://en.wikipe
