Not always true. Stores like Fry's match online prices. People pick Amazon because it's more convenient, there's a wider choice of products, or because they don't (didn't) have to pay sales tax.

You picked out cables as an example. Best Buy is notorious for selling absurdly overpriced "premium" cables with gold-plated connectors or some other stupid gimmick that only idiots would spend money on. But if you pick identical products, there's not that much of a price difference.

As an engineer, let me recommend one way of improving your speed at writing out superscripted/subscripted formulas, along with other mathematical symbols; use LibreOffice. It has a built-in equation editor that works quite well. You can just type in and it will automatically reformat. For instance, typing "H_2 O" would subscript the 2. Doing "x^2+x+1" would superscript the 2.

You do realize that many states have such "distracted driving" laws, correct? And yes, it is a subjective manner, just like a lot of the enforcement of the law. If you are swerving around the road and the cop notices, it's pretty easy to see that you are driving distracted/recklessly. Who cares what the reason is? It could be because you are eating a cheeseburger, putting on make-up, talking on a phone, or getting road head from your passenger. If you can't drive without being a danger to those around you, then you need to be ticketed for it.

Sorry, but even the WORST cans of soda are 200 kCal per can. That number at the site is wrong wrong wrong. Still not good to be drinking it though.

They likely ARE developing really awesome phones. You just haven't seem them yet. It takes about 12-18 months before a new phone can come out from when development begins.

It is a form of bondage though, as those workers have no freedom to move to a different company on that visa. They are tied to the company. Therefore, they have to accept a lower wage because there is no threat of them leaving for a competitor.

No, the "emergency" brake is not the right term. It has no where near enough power to stop you at speed. It will hold the car when stopped. Every car I've had, from little econobox to family sedan can quite easily overcome the holding power of the parking/handbrake.

No. It's just a backup in the case where you didn't put enough postage on the mail, or it can't be delivered to the "To" address for a number of reasons.

Neil deGrasse Tyson likely is a role model for African-Americans in areas of science.

Just come live in AZ. We don't have to renew our licenses until we are 65. Keep your picture for 40+ years.

Private schools tend to pay quite poorly in comparison to public schools. That's because most of the private schools are church-based. They charge students a tuition, but they don't make back enough in tuition to cover costs 100%. Couple that with the church not being able to kick in a ton extra, and the pay is about 50-80% of the public school rate.

He's perfectly consistent. He copied/pasted the same exact text twice.

You keep saying this. The fact that your application is not available in the Amazon appstore is not Amazon's fault, or Google's. It's your bank. Your bank has no obligation to create an app at all. What if you bank only made an iOS banking app and not one for android at all? Is that Google's fault? Tell your bank you want their app in the Amazon store, or you will change banks.

Wow...way to miss his point. He's saying Amazon would love to provide the Amazon App Store to Acer if they lost the play store. Amazon would get the revenue directly.

I know, all those Amazon Kindle Fire's that have been flying off the shelves for the last 10 months are a sure sign of a lack of commercial success...
