Interesting. Not that I doubt Sagan's experiences, but I can't say the people I know who smoke cannabis seem any more empathetic than others.

I also disliked it and got 3/4 of the way through - I found it very pretentious and not nearly as full of wisdom as the author would like to believe.

I'm not tech savvy enough to make an app, but I will devote part of my website to it, at some point.

These are just words so my answer also doesn't pop-out. I believe the answer is bean. Although I don't know the meaning of confectionery.

I made up a word game in high school that became popular with my friends - tell me what you think. Basically, you solve for one word. The clues are words that have at least one letter from the word, in order, that have something to do with

What if I specifically don't want you on my website if you won't let me track you? You're using technology to circumvent me (adblock), why can't I use technology to circumvent your wishes (evercookie et. al.)?

The biggest Chromebook advantage, in my opinion, is that it never slows down because you never change the software in any meaningful way. For the average person who bloats their computer over time until it isn't usable, that is huge.

I don't think that this poster should have so many downvotes, as of 12:59 EST. Even if he is wrong, or you do not agree with him, he is adding to the discussion in a reasonable matter, inviting conversation and debate.

Dwarf Fortress is an outstanding game with features not available anywhere else, and I would highly recommend it. The background music, which the creator also composed and performed, is very soothing, as well.

"Maintaining..." I rate this highly "Giving people..." I do not think this is that important. The constitution, after all, was written behind closed doors because the writers feared what their constituencies might think. "Fighting rising pr

She doesn't use any tech like that, no. Profile page is one source of information. It happens to be a site where people share a lot of interests and things like that, so there are a number of profile pages. She finds out what they named th

A college student I know likes to play a certain online game. Some accounts have items and status symbols that are valuable in-game, but the accounts are abandoned for years. Some names are even intrinsically valuable (names like "Sun" or s

There was excellent analysis of this article the last time it came up (someone's linked to it now). In other news, if anyone needs an blog/essay writer, I know a quite good one who's done some work for me.
