That's nice and all, and I definitely don't mean to sound like the tough New Yorker I am not, but if that's a "micro-apartment" then I have seen several "nano-apartments" in NYC that wouldn't fit a queen-size bed comfortably, let alone a ni

Same thing here, I absolutely hate talking on the phone, to the point of getting anxious when I know I am due to receive a call at any moment. However, meeting in person is probably the most pain-free type of communication for me - it even

Of course, but I'm talking about the opposite way - after all his strongest password was his Gmail password. Some comments here seem to imply that having a strong Gmail password and having a weak Twitter (or whatever) password will somehow

What does he mean by "the accounts were linked"? Does registering for Twitter with a Gmail email qualify as linking? How can a hacker get a password to my Gmail via hacking into my Twitter account; and most importantly, how do I "unlink" th

I googled to learn what "ludum dare" means (I know some Latin and could guess that was an expression) however people kept translating as simply "to give a game" which obviously makes no sense. So I looked it up and according to Lewis &

Just for the sake of completeness, after much googling I came to learn that what I was trying to describe already has a name, and it's Arcology: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcology So I mean that we should use arcologies (am I using thi

I have come to the same conclusion. I don't understand why we keep voting with ballots and not feet. Does anyone here remember those vertical cities (they were effectively cities) in SimCity 2000 (3000?)? I can't find a picture (EDIT: found
