Link to poor people art please? (And please don't let it be Homer Simpson art---i.e. garbage smashed together. And I don't count digital prints as art.)

It's welcoming to foreigners? I thought the Scandinavian countries were famously xenophobic.

On a visit to China many years ago, waitresses would regularly return or refuse tips. However, on a more recent trip, they would expect or even ask for it. Bad habits are easy to pick up.

I found this enjoyable enough to read that now I want to go to the restaurant. Too bad I don't live in SD.

Such a waste of electronic computing power. EDIT: what I meant by a waste of electronic computing power is that it does nothing for the world beyond pumping out more bitcoins. I guess it's more of my opinion on bitcoins in general than

I must admit, I'm no Apple fanboy but in this case, I can easily picture a NSA rep threatening Steve Jobs and Steve Jobs telling him to f * off.

God forbid a college devote time and energy on an academic pursuit, instead of say, an athletic one (I know, off-topic, but just an analogy). Personally, I've found many benefits to competing (or even practicing for) programming contes

I totally agree that it is ironic. I just don't think it should detract from his main point, and personally, I'm bothered by how many people are trying to shift the focus to that. In the beginning, Snowden stated he didn't wa
