Bullshit. Amazon told Hachette & Co "we are granting ourselves a big discount, from now on we will pay 20% less than before. Since this is nearly a monopsony, you can agree to thes…

How about "how the Snowden relevations changed the behaviour with online porn"? Because I'm considering leaving all that behind. Some creepy organisation going all peeping tom on m…

Thanks for the link. While it does indeed looks nice, it's not what I had in mind. This is basically isometric 2D. You're looking at a plane. Things that rise up, like pillars, are…

The funny thing is, Dwarf Fortress is simulated in 3D. With the 3D viewer, you can even look at your terrain in 3D: http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r21/khyron2k/Dwarves/Dwar... …

Well, it was ambiguous to say the least, with all those "you"'s in it. If it was meant as an analogy, maybe you should have written it like this: > This is also silly. That's like …

> You won't get to hear about how the trial turns out from your grave. Well, in contrast to you, I plan to enjoy my life instead of wasting it by worrying about some possible bad a…

I think you're overestimating the NSA's capability to cross-reference your actions and compare them to "what people like me should typically do". My point is, you should not change…

The article failed to mention that the previous $199 ipod touch hasn't had a camera, but now it does. Apple mentioned in a previous keynote that that $199 price point is kind of a …
