It would have to be more densely populated than the center of Hong Kong. This town/prison/concentration camp/detention center (or two valleys) would be lucky to have 10,000 people. We better not let the facts get in the way of chance to bas

No way that camp could be holding 200,000 people. Anyone who has studied any geography could see that would be near impossible.

A chair is a chair. Some of the best chairs I have used are the standard plastic resin chairs. Or fail that a crappy wooden dining room chair. The best way is to mix it up so your body doesn't get too used to one position. One of my favorit

Google voice forwarded to a sipgate account works wonderfully well for me. Skype is getting more expensive everyday. And now with added connection fee badness.

The problem is the constant refreshing of stories on the front page. I need to visit a few times a day to have some idea as to what is going on. If the refresh rate was slower, or the ability for a story to get to the front page would take

I got fooled for most of the article, his comments on deep packet inspection give it away. "But there are other options as well. Content holders could advertise to these people. If you are downloading a certain band's music, that band could

Dealing with Craigslist in NY I found it to be full of scammers and spammers. Buying from people listing on craigslist is very much a buyer beware experience. Plenty of bait and switch. And my personal favorite "It's currently in pieces, yo

US airports aren't really fenced off by immigration. In fact the international and domestic components are mixed. Escape from an airport is easy in the US. Once you leave an international flight you are herded straight to immigration for th

First impressions count for a lot. A lot of people may have seen the name of Jason Calacanis prior to his falling out with Michael Arrington but the name did not stick. When there is malicious gossip people pay attention to the name. First
