I would posit that in the US, new drivers are "grand-fathered" in to automatics. There is no driving license restriction in the US for transmission types, so there is little value …

> So I actually liked it, but because it was so poorly made technically I never bothered to Finnish it. Maybe I'll force my way through it one day, because of the story and atmosph…

I think that's the secret sauce for these quys. I'd be surprised if you can find out a lot about current techniques without signing an NDA and leaving your mobile phone in a box at…

It's great that they're doing this. We had kicked around the idea of signing up all of our customers for HIBP, but decided against it for obvious reasons. What we would really like…

It's interesting that Smart TVs seem to have two lives, the first as a Smart TV, and the later as a dumb display. At least in some cars, you can still replace the ICE if it accomod…

As a parent, I got away with this for years. Once you insert coin though, there is no going back.

That is true about unpaid labour, but my understanding was that this isn't forced on to the prisoners. I understand that prisoners are given the option to work, and reap various be…

I have a particular interest in truly disruptive start-ups, especially ones thats really flout the law like Uber does. I'm under the impression that conventional entrepeneurial wis…

I like the idea of using my LinkedIn page as a way to highlight interesting articles to spark conversation. I'm not aticvely recruiting at the moment (but I do use Linked In when I…

Thank you for this, especially the point about silence. This is such an under-recognized negotiation tactic. I'd venture to say that negotiations often wind up as a contest of "who…

Free as in beer, which is a step in the right direction at an institution where other textbooks could cost hundreds of dollars.

I'd like to add my 2 pence to the notion of gaming to relax. For someone who isn't a regular gamer, it isn't a relaxing thing to do. It's frustrating to have to master new controls…

Ikea's aesthetic is not just some designer's idea of what nice-looking furniture is, it's actually designed to be flat packed. The raw materials that go into the product ARE cheape…

The inclusion of DeWalt got me thinking, because I own several DeWalt power tools. Arguably, these are contractor grade tools made to stand up to some abuse. I buy them because it'…

Thank you, the one question I had (Was it a single spider?) was answered by the original headline.

I really like this idea, but one of the big "improvements" for me in the scavanging system (given that I didn't play New Vegas, which I believe implemented some of this) is that it…

This got me excited about the idea. Like many others my first thought was that it can't be nearly efficient enough to charge my phone, but I hadn't even considered all the little l…

It's interesting (depressing) to me, that the FCC thinks that hardware vendors should be responsible for what their hardware does once it leaves their hands. If we applied the same…

I can't help but wonder how much this has to do with the style of game. As far as software enforced rules go, Draw Something is VERY open, where a game like Candy Crush only accept…

So the CIA invented Change MAnagement back in 1944 then?

I like the idea, but the examples remind me of Urban Dictionary. A good example should let you infer the meaning based on context. It's not an easy thing to write if you already kn…

I think that's probably the point. Sometimes you want to just sit down, veg out, decompress, and just absorb. There doesn't seem to be a good way to get a near infinite stream of r…

Exactly this. It stopped being a good way to discover local places you may not have heard of and instead became a way to shove cheaply mass produced junk or freely mass produced di…

I would venture a guess that the publicity generated by something like this far outweighs the REAL cost to the company. For people who collect air miles (and especially on FT), the…

Who are all these people who spend money after clicking on an ad? The only time I ever click on an ad is by accident, and as soon as I realize the mistake I've made, I immediatly g…
