Who Does Rainwater Belong To?

One of the greatest steps forward that local communities have taken is the push to collect rainwater to offset your water use. It is often an easy way to help out the environment & simply save water. There don’t really seem to be any catches to it either. Rain falls from the sky, hits your roof and runs in to your drums or barrels or tanks.. right?

1 in 4 of All Prisoners Worldwide is Locked Up in America

U.S prisons hold 1.5 million prisoners, and when you add in local jails, it's 2.3 million—1 in 100 American adults. Since the 1980s, we've sat by as the numbers inched higher and our prison system ballooned, swallowing up a larger portion of the citizenry. What does it take for us to do something about this?

The Dark Knight and the Future of Super Hero Movies

Will our favorite super heroes eventually become as cliched to a new generation as Schwarzenegger, Stallone, and Van Damme? After the recent box-office success of Iron Man and The Dark Knight, and with so many comic book properties in development, those questions keep rolling over in my mind like my own imaginary trailer for Iron Man 2.

Why Does the Wii Even Exist?

Why do we have three different, completely incompatible video game consoles on the market right now, instead of multiple companies making video game consoles that play a single format?

Linux tools to convert file formats

Life would be a lot easier if we could live in a Linux-only world and if applications never required data from other sources. However, the need to get data from Windows, MS-DOS, or old Macintosh systems is all too common. This kind of import process requires some conversions to solve file format differences; otherwise, it would be impossible

Migraine is more than a headache: it is intensely painful and has distinct phases.
