I use Twitter when the option is available only because they don't collect data on me like facebook does. If it's facebook only, I usually won't sign up.
Of course Twitter collects as much data on you as they possibly can. How else are they making money?
I have an Asian girl friend and she can't find anything offensive about this lego set. She showed it to her parents and they didn't see any issue with it and even her grandparents didn't see the issue. So as for it containing racial and prejudice against Asians, well not so much. Just because some people are to sensitive to everyday life doesn't make something offensive, it just makes them to sensitive to live the real world. Clearly someone or some small group got over worked up for no reason ( Like everyone over there does ) and hence we have a racist lego set.
Asian, huh? So she's Chinese. Or wait she's Japanese. Or wait she's Indian. Or wait she's Uzbek. Or wait...
If you're one of those lucky souls who has an office with windows, that is. Because otherwise, going outside for about 15 minutes probably isn't going to help all that much.
It does. Like you wouldn't believe. Before I got a light therapy lamp, I used to talk 10-20 minutes walks at lunch time whenever the sun shone, especially in winter. -10C? No problem, dress up and head out for a quick 10 minutes keeping the sun on my face as much as possible. You end up getting some nice sunlight and some minor cardio on the side.
Ultimately the blue light for 30-45 minutes in the morning worked better when my work schedule changed up, but it's all about trying SOMETHING to see what works best for you.
No you can't get that "in Canada.". Just a very few select locations. This is as stupid as saying there are no speed limits on the highways "in Europe" when you mean parts of the German Autobahn.
Off to college It’s hard when your children leave the nest, so give them a Big Lamp and you won’t have to feel like you’re nagging them for news. They’ll want to keep in touch with their school friends too.
Ugh. When I moved out of the country to go to university, my folks just called me if they wanted to talk, usually on Sunday afternoon. Sometimes we'd talk for a couple of minutes, sometimes for an hour.
This is a product for people who can't be arsed to make an effort to communicate with people they allegedly love.
Read everything you can about The Fair Tax. If we passed the Fair Tax, we would supercharge our economy, full employment would be achieved probably within 2 years, and we would be the #1 economic engine on the planet. Prosperity would be restored, and we could accept immigrants to any extent we wanted, because we would be able to put all of them to work in a revitalized manufacturing industry. They try to say that there's no silver bullet, but there is, and it is the Fair Tax.
You also complain about the "entitlement" of food stamps. Food stamps give you ~$200 per month (per person). Maybe you feel you can live the high life on $200 per month, but I feel that is a measly amount of money. And I don't know why you think it is a luxury to be able to buy chips and soda. Eating fresh, healthy, unprocessed food is expensive and a luxury. A most poor people eat crappy food (like chips and soda) because it is all they can afford.
It's cheaper to buy and make your own food than processed. Buying crappy food is simply EASIER.
Anecdotally, when I lived in MA and worked as a grocery cashier back in high school, you couldn't use food stamps to buy anything that had sales tax on it. Junk food was taxed, as was non-food stuff like pet food and laundry detergent.
imgur is incredibly popular for message board image posting, same as imageshack was a few years ago. Use cases exist outside Reddit's homegrown porn milieu.
I chose that example precisely because it illustrates why the web has changed: The general population is full of prejudice and intolerance. Slashdot used to be exempt from that, but like I said -- as the less-experienced and knowledgable have flooded the forums, it has seen an influx of those values as evidenced by both the comments and the moderation.
LOL, what? 'twas ever thus. Slashdot was never exempt from prejudice and intolerance. You're really looking at this place through a haze of nostalgia.
Why does he need to send 400,000+ emails in the first place? If it's just a list of proxy domains, why not just have an RSS feed that people can subscribe to? No emails needed.

Understand all product disclaimers with this one weird tip discovered by a mom in your area,
That's because the liquid electricity has evaporated and become a gas (smoke). Ha!
Confirmation bias.
Amazon runs razor-thin profit margins to stop new entrants competing with them. They went for long-term market share as opposed to profit.
is that Eolas won in the end? LOL
A drop bear stole my ute!

Cool, So you solution is to never try anything at all. Let us know how that's working out for ya :P

You must be a hairyfeet alternate.
In addition, why on earth do I need to know someone's status all the time? This seems like a product for helicopter parents and stalkers.

Laffo.
Do you have any evidence that this problem actually exists?
They're good friends with all the Cadillac driving welfare queens. i.e. the product of a fevered conservative mind.
Clinton? Naw, her dad's not longer running the country.

Damn low flying planes again...
OK: that's like saying a Jaguar and a Cougar were going to have a Bobcat hold the dead Impala they both want to eat.

It's Dave Winer; of course it's ridiculous.

It's hardly theft when you get a noticeable return.
That way no one would ever forget it.
