My Sister's Keeper becomes My Sister's Pandakeeper?

You can file a mechanic's lien against your client for the work done/money owed. Initially, nothing much happens. But when they try to borrow money or get involved in M&A, your lien will stop them dead in the water until they resolve it. I have a photographer friend who did this with a Fortune 500 medical device company. They were involved in buying a smaller device company and when they tried to finalize the deal, they couldn't do it until the lien was lifted. He got paid with a cashier's check delivered by courier. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanic's_lien

The rest is just PR.

How do you post a Chinese translation of "Hey y'all, watch this!"?

The biggest difference between Bagpipe and Accordion is how much more money passersby willingly pay Bagpiping buskers to STOP PLAYING THE FREAKING BAGPIPES ALREADY!

Nothing, now go back to bed Napoleon.

A more interesting topic of research is the link between mental illness and stupidity. How often are schizophrenics and bi-polar disorder sufferers utterly stupid?

This trojan just provided everyone ever accused of possessing kiddie porn with reasonable doubt.

The problem with exposing our children to Ender's Game is that it's a gateway book to a whole mess of utter crap written by Card.

By the way, this post was sent from my iPhone while I am going 30 mph down a residential street....

It's unfortunate that the merit of computer and television use by 5-12 yr olds is wrapped up with the Waldorf schools. A broken clock is right twice a day and limiting kids' exposure to computers and TV (screens in our household) is the two times Waldorf gets it right. If you want to raise your kids to be intellectuals relative to their peers, all you have to do is ban screen time in your household and provide plenty of engaging books and spend time reading to your kids. As for schools and quality, all I really see are generally high quality schools in Minnesota. Both public and private. The difference is almost 100% in the home, but criticising parenting is not in vogue, so we do not discuss this publicly.

If you think a robot will replace a lawyer within the next 100 years, .it means is you do not understand what a laywer does. Lawyers, at least litigators, persuade juries and judges to their point of view. The idea that a robot will have an advantage here is laughable. HAHAHAHAHA. If you're a low-wage lawyer reviewing documents in a big lawsuit, OCR and electronic documents and full-text search have already made you obsolete.

Yeah! We all know hypocrisy trumps physics every time.

Your roof is probably white from November to March.

To get the bundled price, you do NOT have to plug the land-line in, so you can avoid the telemarketer calls. And with the cable bundle, you do not have to hook up a TV in your house. I get $6 / month in savings by allowing Comcast to pretend I'm a cable subscriber.
