They've been building micro units in Boston for a while now, but the results are less than impressive: http://realestate.boston.com/news/2014/11/26/micro-units-pop... $2,000/mo for 420sqft

What if those locks were willingly sent from house to house with the intention that the sending would obscure their source/destination? If you signed your house up to be one of those locations and decided to try to pick some of the loc

The point wasn't that they were banning subs that had offensive content, it was that they were banning subs that were actively harassing individuals. In my opinion, judging by a rough timeline I have of events, the final straw was when

You can always donate to Boomerangs with a little more ease. They're a few buildings away from the Goodwill on Centre and you can pull into their back parking lot while you are dropping off. Cool store, too.

I had a roommate who downloaded from the pirate bay despite my objections. The ISP account was in my name so I would regularly get these emails, albeit from a different ISP. This was 2 years ago. Unless they've been run by feds for a l

Another example to throw in the pot is TS Eliot. He enjoyed his day job at a bank so much he rejected friends' attempts to get him to leave it for a more "creative" post.

I've seen a few of these tutorials and have done some cursory searches but haven't found any services that automate generating Minecraft maps from any open map standards. Is there anything out there for this? EDIT: Hmm, actually c

Actually yes, that's much more fitting.

You understand that it isn't a "euphemism" as euphemisms are substitutions for vulgarity, not substitutions of vulgarity. Notice how the replacement you suggest, "unwarranted bravado," isn't blunt or vulgar

Replying to emocakes below, post is dead. I was unaware of the theft, could you go into more detail? I read OSx86 sometimes but could never get chameleon installed on my own. The tonymac software was the easiest for to install. That's

tonymacx86.com is a decent enough community. I've built 10+ machines using the site-promoted build tutorials (with some modifications) for myself and friends. The forums are hit or miss in terms of helpful information, though.

The risk of sickness, in these cases, can be a serious concern. My next door neighbor was a hoarder, or so the neighborhood found out upon his death. He was allowing wild animals to live in his house; along with a dog that was located in th

It's actually beyond product placement. It's about getting something in the story line that triggers brand awareness. This doesn't even mean showing or mentioning the product directly. I know several screenwriters who have th

They didn't stop. The industry term of art these days is "embedded advertising" and it's used in television and movies far more than you would think. Hear a character mention a current brand name seemingly off-hand? Yeah

No, I actually get the point I just completely disagree with it. The repeated suggestion that guns will make people safer just isn't demonstrated by reality. Not to keep trading anecdotes but here is the case of the Police/Walmart

This is not true, though. There were armed security personnel on site[1] at the Columbine shooting that actually had a shootout with the duo. There were guns on campus, unfortunately they did not stop the massacre. [1] http://www

This is true but there are generational differences with that connotation. To a subset of younger people "hyped" means something is good and popular. EDIT: For reference https://twitter.com/search?q=hyped the self

I think it merely emphasizes that doing something "right" is hard and that sometimes over promising leads to less-than-ideal interactions for two parties at once. The page you links to essentially says, "we didn't like d
