Nice try. You obviously have absolutely no experience running a small business and so you are completely clueless as to the extent of the impact excessive taxes and regulations have. Regardless of your political affiliation, the economics of running a business are the same. Plus, it is a bare faced lie that the…

So states with a leftist bent are generally the worst in which to run small businesses. Got it. As a small business owner in New York I can attest to this. They do everything in their power to discourage you and treat you like the enemy. Given the ideology of most of the socialists who run NYC, I guess we ARE the…

Good for him. She is a lying sack of sh*t who is a disgrace to genuine rape victims anywhere. I notice Jezebel didn't mind when Buzzfeed exposed the name of one of the innocent young men falsely accused of rape.

You mean Goji berries aren't going to make me live to 157 like people in the Himalayas? How could 600 web pages be wrong?

The existence of public sector contracts does not make the argument that those things would have been better managed by the private sector. I do not believe the country needs to be "managed" by government at all. Government is notoriously inefficient and incompetent. Here in New York for example, every publicly funded…

I spent 10 years with AT&T in New York. 6 of those have been with a smartphone with a data plan. The download speeds I have gotten in all that time have been atrocious. There were huge areas of Manhattan where I could not download anything. And most other areas it was painfully slow to the point where my phone was…

For me, the difference in bitrates is most noticeable in the low end. With a high bitrate or lossless formats, I can hear more detail and timbre in that bass guitar, whereas when I listen to a low quality MP3 it's like all bass instruments sound similar.

Which is why Apple really need to step up their game when it comes to business use. For example, the native calendar app can't create recurring appointments where you choose which days of the week you'd like them to fall on (like "every monday, wednesday and thursday") - again, basic business functionality which other…

BlackBerry understands why it's important for and popular among business users, which is why they implemented it in their OS. I understand that most casual iPhone users probably won't have any use for it, but considering all Apple has done to make the iPhone appeal to business users you'd think they'd have took a shot…

Really? Emails can be marked as unread. Why do you suppose the designed it that way? Because marking a message as unread gives you visual feedback as to which ones need attention. When you're dealing with 100+ messages per day, not all of which you can respond to straight away, this feedback is a godsend. iOS texts do…

For exactly the same reasons as you'd mark an email as unread. In the course of running my business I receive 100+ emails and texts per day. I read them all in full as they come in but sometimes I cannot give an answer straight away and need to get to it later. With emails I simply mark them as unread. Then later when…

But you still can't mark a text as unread like you can with emails? How utterly pathetic. This one feature would increase the organizational potential of iPhone texts a hundredfold, yet Apple refuse to do it. I could do this on my first BlackBerry 9 years ago.

Why not use both approaches? When I learned C++ I read two books simultaneously - Andrew Koenig's "Accelerated C++" which uses practical examples to teach with a hands-on approach, and Bruce Eckel's "Thinking in C++" which teaches from the bottom up in a very theoretical manner. I found that both angles worked very…

I didn't misinterpret what she said at all. She quite clearly thinks that "largely men" being responsible for the homelessness of men has some kind of relevance to the fact that most of the homeless are male. And this same argument is trotted out whenever it's pointed out that men are bigger victims of violence than…

I don't think so...your logic, however, is hugely flawed. For example, neither Hi5 nor Tagged were ever anywhere near as big as Facebook is now, nor were they "giants" for anywhere near the amount of time that Facebook has been. The vast majority of people have never even heard of them. Entire families are on…

I just use a peeler and peel strips away from me. Takes about 20 seconds.

Who the hell wants easy access to all the things they've liked over the years? Quite frankly I'm embarrassed by most of mine.

Yeah try manhandling a mattress protector back on the mattress yourself after you've washed it. I only do it like once a year because the experience is so traumatic. Pretty sure that's when my tennis elbow started.

Honestly, that's what I thought about my Brother printer too - absolutely flawless, until one day it just conked out. I mean literally went from printing everything perfectly to printing barely nothing in the space of one job.

I've been through a few printers in the past few years, but let's face it, none of them last more than 3-4 years of moderate use. In my experience they have all worked fine until one day, boom, they won't print properly any more. I'm convinced they have some kind of self destruct timer on them. My current model is a…
