If I may make a suggestion: The reviews are the most helpful. Amazon, newegg, buy.com, and bestbuy all have good product review systems. And I am one of many who will simply not buy a product without reading some reviews on the thing.
If you could collaborate with those others to combine product reviews, so all reviews are available on any of your websites, it would help drive business. This would be especially helpful to BBY, since you tend to have fewer reviews.
It is ignorance. Suppose some piece of farm equipment breaks. With broadband, they could get online and possible find a video of someone demonstrating how to fix that particular piece of equipment. With dialup, they would be waiting around for these videos to load while their work doesn't get done.
Well then, let's get a howto for making a mechanical sign. You know, like the signs made out of spinning, clacking scrabble pieces they used in train stations before LCD/LED tech (and still use in Europe)?
That would be awesome for both in-car use and the general steampunk feel.
If the period between radio invention and blackhole destruction is typically short, then the probability of making contact or detecting such civilizations is much lower. They never travel the stars, and we have only a small window to detect their radio.
"Various scientists have said this will not happen because the black holes would decay before they could do any damage."
If they had 100% confidence in this property of black holes, why are they studying them?
Of course, part of me doesn't care, simply because getting swallowed in a black hole is probably a painless way to go, so I won't know or care at that point.
Another part of me wonders if black hole experiments are the answer to the Fermi Paradox.
What the hell does "scripting" even mean? Perl and Ruby are the same class of language as C. Javascript is an entirely different beast. Whoever categorized Ruby and Javascript together must be completely ignorant of programming.
Is it damn near impossible to get a job? Are the job listings on Monster, etc. really empty? My experience suggests not. Unemployment is higher than it has been in a long time, but it is still less than what is normal for Europe.
It's just another recession, man. Don't buy the media panic. Fear is their business model.
I've got news for you, kid: After firing the 10% worst-performing staff, a company STILL has a 10% worst-performing staff, along with newly lowered moral.
Networking is not the same as being polite. Being polite is good.
Networking is the deliberate act of socializing with a large number of people in the off chance that one day one of them will offer you a sweet deal/job just because you talked about sports with him at a bar one night.
I have never had any particular trouble getting job interviews just by sending my resume to someone who was looking to fill a position (found online). Bullshitting about politics after hours had zero to do with getting those interviews.
Your middleschool teacher told you what math was used for???????? I asked my teacher why we needed to learn a particular bit of math, and he said "because it's in the book." There's a way to motivate and engage young minds.
For every economist who times the market correctly, there is one who buys and sells at the worst possible time. Congrats to him on recognizing a bubble, but keep in mind that the vast majority of economists did NOT see the housing bubble coming.
This is where you are wrong, sir. And you can test it yourself. Create an HTML document and set the background color past "#FF0000". Crank it up to "#ZZ0000" and your monitor will then begin blasting radio waves at your face.

People who boot headless servers off of small SSDs are "purists" now?

O H !!!!

Being "interpreted" is not a property of the language, merely of some implementation of the language.

Good overall doesn't mean "good for America." We could all end up with a standard of living which a Pakistani fisherman thinks is "a good life."

Your logic is pathetic. My grandpa's heart condition is, therefore, just as bad as war, because, well, because "say it isn't to his widow".
Deaths measured by the thousands are a mere rounding error compared to deaths measured by the millions. Saying otherwise is blatant sophistry.
Dirty bombs mainly just create panic and expensive clean-up.
You get more terror for your dollar by writing "infected with AIDS" on a bunch of thumb tacks and scattering them throughout a city.
Just power them like RFID. Put some wire coils on the back and induce current in the coils with EM flux.
If my underwear has this technology, surely these medical researchers can get a hold of it.
How does this thing handle getting the power cord yanked in the middle of a large write operation?

I hear this repeated over and over.
I'm sorry, but "networking" is not the ticket to success in a technical career. In a technical career, knowing your shit is simply far more important.
If you count "networking" as your most important skill, you probably work in management, sales, or some other NONtechnical position.
Time travel as you described could be used to send spacecraft outside of Earth's gravity well. That alone would be rather valuable.

My middleschool wasn't the best :-(

Clearly you've never been poor in a country that lacks mass transit.
I can honestly say my grandparents have never really helped me get laid.
Your brother hit the lotto. The average pay for a physician is much higher than that of an economist.
