    Will Factory Restore eliminate any potential spyware on second-hand iPad?

    Dude, it's an iPad, not a five-year-old Windows box with an ejaculate-filled keyboard.

    VIDEO: A Day in the Life of NYC (in mini)

    To be pedantic, tilt and shift are separate movements with different effects. Generally, lenses that tilt also shift (but not the converse; many older lenses are shift-only). The miniature look is a function of tilt (and other things). (Of course, there's nothing prohibiting you from shifting...

    (Enthusiastic) DPR Review for Canon T2i (EOS 550D)

    Medium format DSLRs that cost more than your car are missing most of those features too. There's more to photography than bursting on a moving animal or athlete.

    $1000 Budget for first film. Need suggestions.

    The Canon T2i seems like it'll be the camera to get. Your lens choice will depend on your filmmaking style. Personally, I generally prefer a wider perspective than 50mm on a crop camera.

    No tip, no service?

    I left a $2.50 (33%) tip for lunch and $5 (~10%) for dinner. The dinner service was adequate, but very disruptive to my conversation. I was repeatedly asked if I was done eating while I still had food on my plate. Needless to say, I felt unwelcome at this restaurant; I won't be returning.

    No tip, no service?

    Good restaurants have good service. Once you pass a certain threshold, there's no way to improve; the waiters at good restaurants with $10 entrees act identically to waiters at restaurants with $30 entrees. <rant> Yesterday, I had much better service at the tiny Japanese noodle place where I...

    Anti-gay speaker booed off stage at - CPAC?

    I may have been unclear. I was trying to say that justice is more important than honesty--a judgment that, ironically, I would expect a truly honest person to accept. In this specific situation, the gay voter has the choice between someone who sincerely believes them to be unworthy of equality...

    whoa, a black guy in the winter olympics. why is it that there are so few?

    Money: These sports are expensive; black people, in and especially outside of the Western world, have lower average incomes than whites and Asians (other races also aren't competitive in these sports). Geography: Even if you can afford to train your kid in skiing, hockey, or luge, many (black)...

    Would you give $$$ to co-workers/friends if you won a $20M+ lottery?

    I'd cover my siblings' debt and my nephews' college tuition (in a couple years; they're in high school now). I wouldn't feel comfortable giving large amounts of cash or expensive items, but I wouldn't have a problem spending equivalent amounts of money on experiences--food and travel come to mind.

    Dedicated Office vs. co-working space

    I feel more motivated when I'm working in a caf&#233;. I feel self-conscious if I procrastinate in front of strangers, and the caf&#233; doesn't want me there indefinitely. So, I understand the desire for a non-home workspace.

    Well at least the progressives don't have a hidden agenda in immigration reform

    I think that the progressives' "hidden" agenda, while not as devious or political as the OP imagines, is just as unsavory. It is an arbitrary fact that a child born in San Diego is American, but if she were born in Tijuana she would be not be. Same for Budapest, Manila and Lagos. If one...
