eBay has been slowly moving away from being an auction house (the internet's garage sale) for years now. They have been moving towards becoming the "storefront" for people selling things without needing an actual physical sto

Given that this is a simulation, it would meant that it is based on an actual reality with physics that either match or are limited below our own. Given the technology it would take to simulate life, the Designers would have to live in a re

True. In order to know something is not running correctly, you would need a clear concept of what it would look like if it were running correctly. (The old argument that if you were raised in a cave in total darkness, you can't know it

How much patience did people have back in the 90s when broadband and computers were slower? (Hell, it sometimes took 30 minutes just to dial into AOL without getting a busy signal.) Now that computers and broadband are faster, do you think

Chrome does that spinner on Windows, too, as does Firefox. I'm glad for it but I like the progress bar idea, personally. It gives me a sense of progress. It is kind of like being on hold. It is the difference between "Please hold&

"Does a web page really need a loading bar, especially that the browser already has a loading indicator of its own" Neither Chrome nor Firefox (at least on Windows or Linux) have an implemented loading bar for showing a web site

It would be interesting to see exactly what number of the community actually wants discussion posts and how many don't. Currently it is the community that votes to put a post "On Hold" before a mod comes around and verifies t

If there were no mods with decisive power and it was completely up to be controlled by the common population (including people who sign up with multiple accounts), how does that help? How does multiplying the amount of people with power mak

Whereas a "delete-happy" mod can abuse their power, another reasonable mod can just as easily reverse it. As far as mods that tend to be trigger happy, they can be filtered out since mods are elected by the user base. Technically,

It is somewhat like reading a magazine before you actually submit an article for publication. Many new users don't bother reading through some of the upvoted questions in the category they are seeking help on and hence never bother und

The limitation, though annoying, is there for a few reasons. One being that it discourages users from making quick edits just for the reputation or badge. I have seen many users get more wrapped up in getting a badge than actually using the

The selling point of a game is never what language it was written in. That is one of the last things (if it ever is) on a consumer's mind when deciding whether to spend money on a product. It mostly comes into play when considering modding.

Since when have we only had javascript in the browser? We've had Java applets. We've had Flash. The issue is security holes. The reason our children will never laugh at us for only using javascript in the browser is because we cared about w

I live in 'the first world' and I can't afford more RAM. $50 is far too much for me to spend at the moment. (A need for more RAM is trumped by my powerful urge to eat.) Not to mention working at a corporate job where the computers are older
