I've recently turned to a password manager site. I know that won't work for common users, as the thought of signing into a second site takes waaay too long... But is there any reason a more tech savvy person wouldn't?

I've sooner delete my Facebook. (Though, that's not much of a sacrifice for me, as I haven't used mine in almost a year, and even made an icon saying that I no longer use it. Email? Twitter? Similar services? Simply "no.")

And pirates will continue to offer a superior user experience. While this sounds like a very bad idea, it could end up making content cheaper for those who don’t mind viewing adverts. In fact, a movie could be offered free as long as you d

Sounds instead like they should consider contracting a video team to do episodes for a website, and to push on Hulu/DVD. Push themselves as a brand. I could see it working. "SpaceX: Mission to the Moon". Then reedit it into a film when done

When people say "NASA should get more", they generally mean a relative "more" to... Well, just about everything. "If we're going to give money to Welfare..." "Is we're going to give money to fight in Iraq..." etc. I agree with you in that t

"school (and have a massive amount of debt from it). Most people have poor credit." And there's me. I think you're right to an extent. One mistake, or stroke of bad luck, and you're almost under water. At the very least, you are almost sure

Even barring the inability to create life-like characters without serious investment, there are other problems, like animating them. But I'm reminded of the early days of the Ill Clan and machinima. You would think a small team could have s

I'd really like you to better define what you consider a "crap job". What makes a crap job a crap job? I'd argue expectations beyond the scope of the work contract, and forced acceptance of unbecoming contracts due to lack of better options

I'm reminded of school, where the bathrooms had no doors. Yet they were designed in a way that you walked in, around one partition to get to the sink, and a second partition to use the bathroom. The sounds and smells of the bathroom never s

Traditional rioting in America would be the lower class attacking the middle class. We all "know" (feel? Know.) that we're pitted against each other while another class above us remains safe. Now, why you don't see vigilanteism under the gu
