They need to upgrade terminal itself, not the keyboard. Anyone who works at BB will tell you how outdated their stack is

In other news: reading books causes rectal cancer too. All tested groups that got cancer were reading books at least 1 cubic centimeter in volume per week

Trulia and Zillow both have Looking for Rent options. I wonder why would landlords go and try the other thing? Cheaper fees?

Down votes are incorrect.

Recruited means enlisted, hired. She was never hired, she was contacted by recruiters and interviewed. "Recruited" doesn't mean "contacted by recruiters" it means hired to do work. Recruiter - who hires/searches for "recruits". Recruit is a person that was recruited not contacted by a recruiter.

I became a good friend with my current coworker. We went to Islanders game. We watched games in the bar. Our friendship was developing steadily. Then I went to his apartment and discovered he lives in the same building (that has 30 floors) on the same floor, in front of the guy we knew for years through my wife work. We dug thorough the old pictures and found my "new" friend on the pictures of our older friend kid's baptism. World is small. Tons of people to meet. Everything starts form the talk. If you get common interests you will go from there.You can't become friends with someone you don't spend time with.

Google's Nexus 7 was a OK device until after a few month of usage it started to lag like hell. a lot of previous android phones lagged like it was their job. Should Android or Nexus products be killed too?

324 mln divided by 64K people is about 5K. So, you didn't hire me because of your little shitty agreement, I didn't get a 30-40K or more salary a year (not to mention possibly better benefits) and you give away 5 grand to sing "don't worry be happy?" Great math. When someone downloads a song it gets smacked with 100K bill and a jail time. But when you don't get a job, 5K sounds just about right.

Exactly, nobody can. When we were drawing in horse crap - a car was a life saver. Now everyone complain it's killing us with cancer and drawing us in the future melted ice caps. Nobody can tell what impact it will have on human brains in 100 years... I deff know that watching cartoons all day is bad. And a lot of parents do just that - here is an iPad, just shut up and let me be. But if it used for study... Who knows?!

I was in Math high school and in Math class. We had 12 of mixed math per week: algebra, geometry, linear algebra, probability and what not. Too bad in college we couldn't pick classes like in USA, so we had to do some of them over again in 1st and 2nd semester. Our math teacher was a very old, smart and animated Jewish guy. He received money from Soros fund for being awesome, and also survived Nazi blockade of Leningrad. In his 80s he still went there EVERY year to walk across frozen lake in memory of that event. For 4 years he taught us he always asked after explaining the task: so, Joe, what do you think we should do here? And we can go on and on about how we should find a common denominator or perhaps build an additional triangle and... he just smile and say "we need to think". And then he will tell us step by step his thought process. By the end of the 12th grade we all knew answer to that question.

A bit pricey but with the accessories :) And seems like a much better quality than crappy-painted-not-standing Double Fine Pshychonauts mini figs
