    >I have no idea how you know what your downvoters think about Tumblr. Because Tumblr is brought up here and on Reddit frequently as this hellhole of idiotic far leftist thought. Al…

    My point about Tumblr is that it's a huge site containing a lot of blogs. Seems like half (or over half) is porn. Most of the other half seems dedicated to rabid fanbases of variou…

    Apparently Reddit is leaking. Tumblr: the scapegoat for everything they don't like.

    What you want is Space Engine [en.spaceengine.org/]. Also a sandbox. Allows you to fly from star to star, galaxy to galaxy, with billions of planets, nebulae, black holes, clusters…

    You're correct. News and Observer (nando.net I think) was a daily visit for me back in the mid 90's. It was the first one I found which provided a full newspaper without being hidd…

    A few years ago I remembered the name of the MUD I played in college. Found it was still online. Couldn't remember my old pw so I created a new character and 'finger'-ed my old cha…

    And what's wrong with that? As long as the attention-seeking is not hurting anyone, then this is probably a great way to find and meet like-minded people. He's not hurting anyone. …

    I've always thought if the DRM can be easily removed, then it's the same as not having DRM at all. Every purchase I've made from Amazon has the DRM stripped and the files placed in…

    We were in a crunch to get version 2.0 out. Had the weekly progress meeting with the director. He had received some feedback from our remote sales team and he read one out loud tha…

    I think you're on to something huge and important. Some years ago I was working for an educational software company. We sold directly to schools. As expected, we'd get a lot of fee…

    No one is outraged because Adobe makes money. That's quite a ridiculous assertion. What some people want is pay once and be done with it. Ownership vs. Rental. When a consumer can …

    When I had a brief interest in Buddhism, I looked into the local zen center. Which had a convenient list of prices. Quite high prices as I remember. The Cards Against Humanity peop…

    Because Putin doesn't want to see tensions rise and have the situation go out of his control. There's nothing for him to gain by blaming Turkey or be pushed into a direct confronta…

    You're going to accuse jwz of not understanding the internet? I'm going to assume you have no idea who jwz is.

    It's not as bad a dilemma as you think. Buy the doritos and buy the fresh food too. You show respect for your employees by respecting their wishes and you show you care about them …

    I'm not sure how you can see "tits or GTFO" as a fair response when so many on 4chan readily identify themselves as male with no consequence. Furthermore, they also frequently iden…

    I can't speak to the public as a whole. But in my circles, there was a lot of interest in the TDI's and similar. With the lower sulfur diesel widely available, there wasn't a perce…
