    Is it not possible to ask them to delete all my DNA data? My subscription will end soon, can I just ask them to delete it completely in a clear worded email to make sure there is n…

    What surprises me is that they consider low fertility rate a problem. There are plenty of people from other countries that would be willing to work in Western countries with low fe…

    Damn, I already paid, is there any way I could do it now or it's too late?

    It says that I would have to pay 9 dollars a month. Do you know if I can tell them to charge the whole subscription once instead of 9 dollars every month?

    I'd like to ask to anyone who has worked as both, for himself and for the man, which one is more stressful? To the degree that this question can be answered, I realize it would dep…

    Okay thanks, so I can assume that hypothetically if I were to download text PDF books from certain places, then convert it to Kindle format, I would then be able to get first class…

    I was going to buy a Kindle this week but this article is making me think twice. I thought it'd definitely be cheaper to buy books. What about PDFs? There are thousands of PDFs on …

    "In the US, we like to think reporters have no bias, but of course, they do. In Europe, the biases are much clearer." Not related to the main point of the article, but I don't agre…

    Wow, that's sad. After all the money that was spent on the F-22.

    Alright thank you. Just one last question, within that 980px space, would the design be liquid or fixed? Maybe it sounds stupid but I'm kind of new to CSS.
