I wonder how a small cactus would do in a terrarium of this size? They shouldn't need much in the way of water.

I read Wired for their in-depth articles about cool things. I have recently stopped reading most of their articles reviewing Apple products and sports cars as I find most of them to be border-line fanboyish and contain very little infromati

I very much agree with this article, copyright terms have become way, way too long, and are very close to no longer being the 'limited time' that the constitution requires. Another good read on the matter is http://besser.tsoa.nyu.edu/howa

There was a British TV series that I watched some of a while back about a group of con artists (sorry, I can not remember the name right now). Several of the episodes had this same plot: the group of con artists would steal some valuable an

In my completely unprofesional opinion, and with absolutly no experiance in this area, I would advise you to skip freemium. I am guessing that if you go with freemium you are going to get a bunch of people using it who are just adding an FA

> Are we seriously at the stage where people want "an Apple product"? In my experience, yes. My younger sister recently decided that she wants to buy a new mp3 player, and she asked me for advice about which one to buy. It very quickly

There are a bunch of websites that are frequented by expats in various parts of China (like gokunming.com), so any kind of advertising, either through forum posts or traditional ads might get you some trafic. But apart from that I can not t

Having lived in China for years, I am highly sceptical of any foriegner's chance at conquering the Chinese search engine market. (For multiple reasons, first because noone else knows Chinese like a native Chinese speaker, and second because

The Password is 'character.' Sorry for not including that the first time! Despite my general dislike for all the "What -x- are you?" questionares, I found this to be very well done. I am not sure I fully agree with the typeface it chose for

Anything made in North Korea, as long as it is not overly expensive, would be worth buying just for the sake of owning something made in North Korea. (At least in my humble opinion.) If North Korea wanted to they could probably make a whole

This seems to me like something that could completely ruin productivity. Just let everybody use headphones, that way they can put songs they like on their computer and only listen to those. The way this seems to be set up, all that everybod

This was rather eye opening for me, especially the part in the lower left hand corner about the difference between earth-to-moon travel and moon-to-earth travel. (The full-sized picture can be seen at [ http://xkcd.com/681_large/ ].) This o

Yes, the IPv4 internet is a good example of a technology project managed by the federal government that went well. But I think that it is worth pointing out that it was not created and managed by congress (of which I have a very low opinion

I believe that America exports at least some pilots. I live in China, and a couple years ago there were rumors going around among the foreigners in the city I live in that a Chinese airline (I think it was China Southern) was considering mo
