    It does seem obvious that short of having your own copy of something purchased (in this case, a movie), this will happen. Purchasing the right to see a movie, listen to a song, on …

    What do you do today about parents who sell their food stamps for liquor or other drugs? This is, of course, the huge problem with this plan. Not that this isn't the right thing to…

    That's why they want a union. Raise the minimum wage and reduce or eliminate the risk of the job being eliminated.

    Basically, if you accept that your first 10 games will suck, and you don't try to make your first game fantastic, then your first 10 games will suck. Worse, you might get good at d…

    I am curious: are documents in Google Sheet scanned by Google's software bots to determine stuff about me? I can't seem to find a Privacy Policy document specific to documents in G…

    Because you'll come out of the experience a MUCH better programmer; MUCH, MUCH better. In fact, until you've written a low level device driver and understood the complexities invol…

    I use Apple's Numbers to track weight, blood pressure, intensity of workout (number of meters rowed, time, number of push-ups and pull-ups). I have tried apps from time to time but…

    Since you're comparing gun crimes to all crimes, doesn't that mean that non-gun crime rates are also falling lower than crime in general (includes with or without firearms)? Public…

    I have 2 27" monitors (an iMac and an Apple display) next to each other, and it's fantastic for programming. One display has Xcode using up almost all of the screen; the other disp…
