The Final Fantasy series has spawned a lot of "stories" like this one over the last 30 years. A notable one being related to the MMO Final Fantasy XI, with the "Maat's cap" item be…

It's a pity how little most people know Mark Twain. He was so much more than the guy who wrote Tom Sawyer. He had many different and uncommon lifes in his life...A lot of inspiring…

>Ads should be strictly regulated and the Internet should be completely free and open While I completely agree with you on both points, I'm afraid both things that are mutually exc…

I'm not sure the world needs a new markup syntax, especially an awkward mix of HTML and Markdown. But I could be missing the point, since I just base this on my own needs. But thin…

Do they do that ? And why exactly do they do that ?

My beloved book. My kids books. My cat.

The advice you might get here are worthless compared to a few hours talking to a shrink.

Hundreds of people opened their home in October 2015 after the huge rainstorm and floods in Cannes and Biot. Several supermarket (Carrefour and Intermarché for sure) delivered tons…

While I like the idea of having open source alternatives to the popular applications, this one is a pure and simple copy of Trello. This is a bit too much IMO.
