There's also something very wrong about the "higher brain functions" of people who thinks not following cop's orders and instead, argue about it about "why r u dis'ing me" is actually appropriate behavior.

I think the bigger issue here is what sort of person bi***es about "disrespect" by a cop when the cop is giving orders to comply with lawful demands.

Probably the same people who put up the joke trolling ya'll.

Maybe you can let the guy know that the cost went up? Or did you pay too much? :)

There's a line between discipline and abuse. You don't have to be a non-immigrant to see it.

Credit freeze is usually less than $20. Clark Howard praises it all the time, and has instructions (and costs) on his website.

Makes sense. The prototype would be all manual and only test pilots with steel balls will fly them that way. THEN once they figured out the aero limits (plus some computer simulations) they decided to integrate some "coupled" controls into software.

Well, at 100 C you boil water... ;)

I always find it amusing that we computer geeks have no problem talking in Celsius regarding computer temps, but as soon as we talk "normal" stuff we revert back to Fahrenheit. :D

Nice. My OLD Intel i7 (first gen Clarksfield) can go up to 65 C... but it's in a laptop where adding cooling is nearly impossible. I have both a cooling pad (Cooler Master with 3 movable fans for hotspot targeting) and an "extractor" fan I attached to the exhaust vent to pull hot air out faster than the internal can…

Amazon is straight up giving away over $100 in Android apps from now until Saturday, including favorites like Plex, AccuWeather Platinum, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and The Room Two. Head over to Amazon to see the full list. [Amazon]

DMV thing is a hit and miss. I bought two cars off Craigslist and did the title transfer at CSAA, and both times the title got screwed up and the transfer didn't take place. I still had to head to a real DMV to fix the problem. So, if it's simple stuff like renewal (which you usually do online or through mail any way)…

According to several sources, if you buy the Developer Kit (rumored to be $5000), you get Unity Pro for free (the game engine). But that's Indie. No idea how much Nintendo charge the big names.

Depends on how much Nintendo wants for license fee, right?

Iterate, man. Iterate. (i.e. set a "competitive" number, but on the high side) See if you run into lowballers. You can always give the good, repeating clients an old-timer discount later if you want to.

Oh, it's more than that. They're not paying parking tax on such either. (And there's a STEEP parking tax in San Francisco)

Brings up a good follow-up question... Are the Nolo books on contract writing any help? Or is it better to, ahem, clone and modify a contract from a similar business? Or other? Or all of the above?

hmmm does insurance cover self inflicted damage like this?

buying up the dogs on open market only drives up prices. I think some economists already tried it in India way back when. They offered reward for each rat tail turned in, part of eradication campaign. They paid...and the number of rats never went down. Week after week. Eventually they realized people are either…

That's a circular argument.
