If sure if someone sent all 3 of them a $25 gift card to Applebees they'd abdicate willingly.

Yet when you hear people bitching about a place it's usually a bitch about "management" rather than the people who are closer to the actual product/work.

Actually, "those bastards" are practically the only thing that keeps the USPS running at all.

Well, figure 16 hours awake, with a 8-hour workday. The average office worker spends the whole working day in front of a computer, which means all it takes is another 96 minutes of screen time to reach 60%. Between your phone, your home computer and your TV, that's not very hard to hit.

Consider the state of network technologies 10 years ago. There is so much that can be done in the last mile by actually deploying fiber, combined with up and coming high speed switching speeds that I don't think this will be a problem long.

Whether people want to invest another couple grand on a new display, that's another thing.

What they *can* do is put that kind of resolution on desktop displays. Please, enough with the "1920x1080 is high resolution" bullshit. We all had the ability to do 1600x1200 on CRTs over a decade ago.

Och, that's too bad, transit directions are working in Chicago at least.

While I'm extremely glad to have Google Transit directions back, I'm honestly shocked at the lack of integration with iOS contacts. Typing in your friend's name for directions to their place is a pretty basic use case.

I don't believe that's correct; if you are a US citizen, live outside the US and work outside the US, you are still liable to pay US taxes. Now, there is a fairly generous exclusion you can claim that, for most people, will completely nullify their tax obligation. But if you earn enough money (for 2011, the amount was US$92,900), you will still be liable for taxes on the marginal amount above the exclusion.

It's called the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion.

You missed the part where his dogs were poisoned, buried, exhumed, and finally decapitated.

You just can't make this stuff up.

It's definitely an interesting game, but I found the controls particularly horrible. I understand why they are the way they are. Going from near light speed to a dead stop without any deceleration is rather unrealistic and vise verse. However, from the perspective of it being a "game" it was downright annoying.

Great concept, though, and definitely an interesting learning tool. It'd be even more fun if one could adjust the variables directly and and explore the consequences of those variables more deeply.

I'd say this:

1) It would be money foolishly spent as it would probably negatively impact the value of the property more than improve it

2) $10k to $20k is chump change for any significant remodel.

I worked on a project with a team in Chennai and we did it the opposite way; 7 AM Eastern, 5:30 PM Indian. Worked out pretty well, although sometimes it was a bit tough being put on the spot when they've been hammering on an issue all day and you're still groggy, wiping the sleep from your eyes.

Your 22 DS games will still work on the 3DS, with a bigger, less reflective screen to boot.

Anyone else notice that the cost for just *3* of these things is half a billion dollars, assuming no cost overruns?
