You know, you could have ended your post by the end of the third paragraph and everything would have been fine. Your post would have been one's honest opinion about a particular cu…

The WTFs

That's for assault weaponry.

Honestly scary stuff. I can see a good number of middle-aged women be very receptive to the fake information being disseminated on Pinterest, so long as they think that such inform…

Regarding your third point....are you sure about that? I feel that many people do want to share the interesting moments (more or less) of their life online. If this wasn't true, In…

Sad to see some people here be upset at the harmless mention of a subject's race. Though it is proof positive to me that even a community as dedicated towards intellectual pursuits…

The bulk of Wii games can be played from your couch.

New solutions appear quite a great deal more than you would think, thanks in no small part to scholars, inventors, and visionaries. Whether these solutions are viable for the marke…

This is an asinine argument. We live in a globalized world. You could perhaps make this argument if you were living in a closed society like North Korea. Besides that, you're missi…

Good points.

You're misrepresenting your case here. The law stops you from tinkering with the software of the tractor. You can tweak, repair, replace, or light on fire any part of the tractor y…

Thank you for the dose of common sense here. The way that a free market works is that consumers effectively vote for certain products with their dollars. If consumers want a certai…

I'll be perfectly honest...I found this article to be not only pointless, but full of false ideas as well. I'd rather read Elements of Style all over again than read that poor excu…

And so you are one of them. You're asking software developers like us to cut deals with people like you in order to avoid litigation.

It's extortion. It really is no different from a mafioso coming up to your place of business to demand dues owed for 'protection'. I wish I had the foresight to created idea/featur…

While you have good intentions, I have a feeling your idea would backfire some how. Judging the objectivity of a patent through its inclusion within a peer-reviewed journal or a co…
