    Really? You don't see the problems with a spell check? Imagine if George RR Martin ran Game of Thrones through a spell checker- that thing would fail his book, despite it being a fantastic fictional work, within the 1st page. He even stated himself that he uses an old DOS computer to write so...

    This is precisely the problem scenario I was trying to point out, and you're flaunting it as the solution? This happens all the time with big companies- Google, Ebay, PayPal, Amazon, etc. They will take action on something, and you (the lowly user) will wonder what led them to do that. You...

    Isn't that the whole advantage of Amazon though? That anyone can publish? I realize that there is some real crap on there, but with the amount of submissions they get on a daily basis, a screening process could ruin one of the primary perks of selling through them. Can you imagine getting a...

    I'm the same way. A few days on CL, then it's time to put it online to the masses. Even if I'm paying fees, I'm getting money back that can go into more inventory. Maybe if you live in a big city CL exposure works better. I remember in the early pages of this thread, @RichKid would talk...

    I might be alone in this, but I disagree with lowballing on the spot. Reasons: I've had people try to do it with me, and it pisses me off. The answer is always "We agreed on a price already, you can pay it or I'm leaving." I expect people to respect my time, so I try to respect others...

    @RBefort I'm not in the middle of the city either, it's about a 20-30 minute drive to get to the well-populated area I make most deals. I've found the ways to make the most of it are: Get them to meet you halfway so you are each only driving 10-15 minutes. String deals together, so you aren't...

    Ebola in the USA... Anyone Concerned?

    HEALTH 
    When this thing started popping up, I think a lot of people just listened to the headlines. This led to the logic of: a) It's not airborne. b) It's spread through bodily fluids. AIDS is spread through bodily fluids. Therefore catching Ebola is as hard to catch as AIDS. The whole "its just...

    Ebola in the USA... Anyone Concerned?

    HEALTH 
    From what I understand this isn't because she is in drastically worse health. Instead, they are using a different system of grading the patient and under this other system she has always been classified as "Fair", and was never in "Good" condition. I suppose that is a good or bad thing...

    #1 reason why I avoid iPhones right here I'd much rather sell a PS3 or something of equal value, even if it is a PITA to ship.

    Looking for craigslist search software

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    All of the people I know who have software like this paid for it to be made for them as a custom script. Seems like the best way to do it would be to hire someone on Freelancer.com. It shouldn't be too expensive. Personally though I don't see too much value in software like this, and I...

    So it is going to be audio-based from the start and then become live-video based... or did I read it incorrectly?

    Ebola in the USA... Anyone Concerned?

    HEALTH 
    She may have shown symptoms earlier or later than previously thought, and they are expanding their circle from the most likely contacts outwards. Isn't that standard operating procedure- you start with those people who are most likely to have been infected and branch out to the least likely?

    Ebola in the USA... Anyone Concerned?

    HEALTH 
    That's at advanced stages of the virus though. There was an interview a few days ago by one of the medical researchers who discovered Ebola in the 70s, where he said he would happily sit next to an Ebola victim on the bus, assuming they were still in the early stages of the virus. I'll try to...

    Ebola in the USA... Anyone Concerned?

    HEALTH 
    I don't think anyone saw it as a threat until now. This chart is months old, the virus has since infected nearly 10,000 people, so multiply the 2014 bar by 6x. Most of the time it would emerge in a couple African villages, kill 100 people, and then vanish for years. Westerners didn't really...

    Like I said in my other post I don't want to debate this here. But if you are truly confident and entrenched in your opinion I implore you to start a thread on this topic because I will be happy to point out what I feel are some gaping logical fallacies in your argument. Props for challenging...

    Ebola in the USA... Anyone Concerned?

    HEALTH 
    No. Ebola relies on a host to survive. It cannot survive on surfaces for any extended period of time. The idea of an Ebola victim sneezing on a package, and then it showing up at your door a few days later, and then you getting the virus, is absurd- even under perfect laboratory conditions...

    I'm genuinely curious- did you actually read that article or are you just reposting the headline like everyone on social media has been today? I'm not trying to be a dick, but I have seen that headline like half a dozen times already and nobody actually discusses the content of the article...
