I think this problem goes a bit deeper and it is something I have been wondering about. When I send a letter or a package and want to be sure it was received, I can rely on tracking or I can go the extra mile and request a signed return-rec

I can for the life of me not understand what you see as positive or "cool" about this home, the technical and architectural and artistic challenges of making it happen set aside. You sound like this is some visionary solution for a looming

This comment together with the ars article just gave me the biggest 90s flashback ever... really, so little has changed in over a decade??? Next up they just HAVE to show us how to setup our own quakeworld or UnrealTournament'99 or Quake3 s

While we are talking about greatest features and GMail... it would be awfully nice if they would finally implement some sort of sub-string search, given it's almost 2013 and they are synonymous with searching and finding things on the inter

I think it is just a wrong interpretation, really, because people present it as if "even" Sartre said all people are hell, whenever they are feeling reclusive or disappointed in humanity. None of that is in the original quote since it is wa

Curiously enough, this Sartre quote (originally l'enfer, c'est les autres ) is used in a very different sense from what it originally meant. Typically people like to quote it as an allegedly-educated way of saying all people are annoying -

You perfectly summed up what I have been feeling about quite a few people ever since I first met them. Very typically they are the "oh no I do not own a television set" type because allegedly 100% ALL of TV is just pure nonsense and not a s

There are two things I am always wondering about... one is what all these people are actually talking about for hours on end. I am a very quiet person but I see and hear pretty much everything going on around me even if it appears I am dis-

I think a far more revealing point about Kafka is his self-view and the fact that in his will he wanted all of his works burned. I don't think Kafka was ever a very happy man in his life, so you really got to wonder how much good did the "b

To further your excellent point: IQ, "intellectual superiority" and improving-life-for-the-better or "happiness" are generally three separate things; or at least much more separate than we like to see them as clearly correlating if not caus

So you love people who since the 90s have been repeatedly caught and found guilty of fraud, insider trading, piracy and who cut deals with the police by turning in former friends and associates? This is the side of kim people seem to have c

This is just like his old kimble.org page... big words and I promise you: nothing remotely justifying it actually behind it. He has been trolling JUST like this in the 90s and looks like he is using his current publicity to do the same now.
