There are places that gets 0 snow ... this could be useful there ?

I've used miro - http://getmiro.com.

If it is this easy to climb under a plane, I wonder why they waste every one's time with those "serious" security checks.

You said exactly what I wanted to say...

An alternative improvement that I would feel comfortable -

1) Instead of email id, just ask "enter a nickname". More people would feel comfortable this way.

2) Once I'm in - "Welcome to your private charade room. Invite your friends to join your private charade room by sending this url".

Provide a private url to that room that they can send to their friends. Let them send it by mail. And don't ask me to enter my friend's email id or link to my facebook / twitter accounts. Many have already fallen for this trick from Linkedin etc and paid heavily for giving them access to the friend's ids.

Now make it easy for me also to enter this room using the url. If my friends enter the room, we are ready to play.

Allow me to create multiple rooms. So I could play with my family, my friends or colleagues at different time. And all through the day I could watch which room has member and start playing ...

3) And now provide an option for them to join a public room... Here mention clearly that your video is now visible to the worlds and could even be recorded ....

A serious question. How different is this from Firefox or Chrome app ? They allow you to watch Youtube videos. Should the firefox and Chrome also get the permission from every content owner out there ?

Another success story of commercially successful cooperative society is Amul which is a cooperative dairy society. With 2 million + milk farmers as owners and is one of the forces that revolutionized milk production and distribution in India. Making India the largest producer of milk in the world [1].

The beauty is that, majority of these farmers own one or two cows and that is their main means of income for their whole family.

- Interest rate : You should understand that these are people that no mainstream institute would be willing to lend money to, even at high interest rates. So Kiva's high interest rate is not really high.

- Marketing expense : I joined Kiva because they said they will make the first contribution on behalf of me. I chose the borrower and Kiva sent the money. I didn't spend anything. I'm sure this would come in as marketing expense. This was one of their largest marketing campaign.

Then shutting down does not solve the problem. They could still go ahead and reveal.

Its not about affording electricity. Its availability of electricity. Even when you can afford a washing machine, electricity shortage makes it impossible to run the machine. Sometimes the power goes right in the middle of a wash cycle and you have to wait couple of hours before the power is restored. And in summer, power cuts are more prevalent.

>> A hacker had gotten into Cool's WMU account and changed the routing number for his payments, he said, sending $1,518.62 to a bank in Utah..... There was $11.08 left in the Utah account, which is all Cool has gotten back of his paycheck.

Just curious. A professor is paid only $1,529.70 ? Hope it is weekly.

The walls without doors (open at the door area) might be simple. But walls with doors does not seem as simple.

If someone gets trapped between the doors, then the train should be disabled from moving. You see it most often - people dashing in at the last moment getting themselves or their backpack getting stuck. The station doors also have to synchronize with the train doors. Else say, the train door opens, you step out but the station door does not open. Now the train is ready to move...

Seems like more negative campaigns related to bit coins are getting prominence in mainstream press recently. Similar to what was observed during Wikileaks, Snowden etc time.

These articles slowly create that distrust among the public for bit coin. All they remember when thinking about bit coin would be silkroad and assassinations.

That is how it is working in real life. You can hear the person closer to you speaking, but not the one farther

EDIT - dugmartin explained it better below ...

Maybe, something similar to hearing, a person who is closer is louder while the one far is faint.... So nearby people have a stronger font while the one who is far has a lighter font ? Note - I've not used this app, so don't know how it is working ...

The same experience here. My parents also use Ubuntu now (firefox, Libre office).

The main issue with Linux is, some one needs to install and setup everything for them. Finding and installing that missing wifi driver is not something that they can do.

Windows installation is breeze, just pop-in the disk and it will install everything for you. Hope pre-installed ubuntu systems get common.

>> 2. How does overfilling properties lead to rising prices? If anything, it would serve to keep prices lower.

When one family rents a 2 bedroom flat, they may be able to afford say 1K (husband and wife working). But when the same flat is rented to 4 singles, they might be able to afford 2000. Each person's share is just 500. So when the landlord asks them 1200, they would happily pay for it as the effective rent per person is only 300.

You might lose some of your traffic to the .com name. So it all depends on who your target audience is and how much each lost visitor would cost you.

- If they are older people, most of them would by default type in .com when they hear a business name. (eg - google.com). So go for the .com

- If they are from a particular country that has a strong ctld (uk, .de etc), then don't go for the .com, but go for the tld.

- If they are young and tech savvy. Ignore the .com. Any domain name would be ok as most of them would search and find.

EDIT - And also take into consideration what type of business you are running. If offline business with more offline marketing, then go for the .com. Online marketing, people would click links, so any domain would be ok.

The first result is Amazon.com. Its not an ad. The next ones are local listings. And don't think they are also ads. Those are search results.

And I think Google did a good job here as most purchases for heavy items like Sofas will be made locally.

Sounds true and I would have expected the same with Television / movie commercials, that people will stop buying those brands. But most of the people go to supermarkets and buy the product that are familiar.

This could happen here also. Creating a familiarity. So even if a person is initially irritated, after a month when he / she goes to make a donation, it would be to a charity that is familiar than a completely unknown one.

Taxing is mainly to pay for the facilities that the Government is providing you currently. That is the reason why vast majority of the countries (99% ?) are taxing based on physical presence. So if you are out of the country for most of the time during the last year, then you don't pay tax.

What if this happened with Gmail ? My bank details and other data getting displayed on someone's Inbox !

EDIT - I don't use gtalk for sending confidential info, so this doesn't affect me, but this could also happen with Gmail that I trust lot of data with (bank, school, government etc)..

The challenge is to correctly identify the deserving candidates. You can fake remorse.

And there also is the other side. The lives that were lost and the lives that got shattered for no mistake of theirs. Not everyone has a large heart. Its difficult for some to see one of your close relation's killer walking free.

EDIT - He should have patented this technique (suicide note on website), to prevent others from performing a similar stunt. While I feel sad for him for taking his own life, I am angry for him making his suicide sound so glamorous.

>> simultaneous photos with the front and back camera composed into a picture-in-picture result?

I really wanted this feature for a long time and wondered why phones that had 2 cameras did not allow it.

It was specially useful when taking photos of my 1 year old daughter. It helps capture our emotions at the same time we were capturing her. So now you can see photos where she is trying to learn walking and at the same time see my face that is at times smiling (when she walks couple of steps) and at times scared (when she is about to fall) in the photos.

Here an easier option for those concerned with privacy of their users. 1) Validate the email address first on your side (using regex). 2) Then send the domain name part to the service for validating and correction. Maybe append a fake username before the @.

So if a user enters someone@yahoo.cm , I validate it first then send someotherperson@yahoo.cm to the the mailgun. Now your real user is protected.

Now you don't send them the real user name but get most of the benefits.

It is even more irritating with Youtube. If I am logged in to any Google account it pesters me to select my Real name every time I watch a video. And every time I end up opening the video in another browser.

>>> The country now has 5% of the world's population but 25% of the world's prisoners.

Strangely the "nation of Free" has double the number of people inside the prison than the "human rights violator" China.

Number of prisoners. USA - 2,239,751

China - 1,640,000

And when you consider that China has a large population... the percentage of people inside the prison is enormous.
