Ooooooorrrrrrrrrrrr, you can just unlock it yourself.

The exception to the rule.

Exactly, so how is this helpful in natural disaster zones?

So it's a portable cell tower. But how does it integrate in to Verizon's national wireless network? Do they have to run a robust Internet connection to it? Does it uplink via satellite? Or just relay to existing permanent towers? The article doesn't say but I'm very curious.

I also think that it would be a good service to the computing community if Kaspersky disinfected the bots, but it is illegal and I'm glad they didn't cross that line. That's a slippery slope to adding/removing software that they don't like, even if it's not harmful.

I just played around with it; decent idea. Obviously it needs work but they might be on the right track. But the biggest turn off is that after I narrowed down the properties, and I wanted to see details about the front-runners, I was told I MUST log in to a Facebook account.

I am an IT professional, and I definitely can sympathize with the feeling. Especially in service-based companies where employees bill their time to the client (like mine), IT is often seen as blightful, overhead and a financial liability. So getting a well-deserved raise becomes even more tricky. Further, my…

Having a simple and common Gmail email address is not all roses. I have a Gmail account that is my first initial and last name because I signed up many years ago. My name is not the most common, but it is common enough that I consistently get email intended for others.

You can also do really creative stuff with large propane tanks too (these are 100 gallons apiece).

I don't think I'd ever choose to live in one, but an interesting idea. I think a key detail would be whether the dumpster(s) he uses to build these homes are brand new or used.

How can this not have HDMI? That kills it for me right there.

Looks like a fantastically stupid idea. One parking meter, street sign, tree, fence post or parking post - and you're done.

Yes, it's scary and uncertain. But this is one of the great times to buy - as long as your time-horizon is long enough that you won't sweat these weekly, monthly or even yearly dips. Someone with cash and looking to invest long-term in solid stocks is in a great position.

VERY cool. But does the outputted sound it creates (in response to inputted sound) confuse it and it hears it as inputted sound? That'd prolly create some kind of infinite feedback loop.

I presume the top level collapses in to the bottom level for transport, yes? So how do they engineer a sturdy spiral staircase that can collapse?

I don't see anything online about that. What's your source?

I have a Discover card and use their virtual CC numbers as frequently as I can. Their system is set up such that the virtual CC number can only be used at the same business that you used it at the first time. For example, if I buy something at FTD.com with a virtual CC number, that same virtual CC number cannot be…
