I see this is a 2004 post of a 1989 article. Still, I'm not sure what the definition of "Adventure Game" is. To me, it's usually a game with graphics at the top (not required but most common), and 4 or so lines of text a

Disagree. To me this is like saying parents can always just abandon their children. Zuckerberg likely feels an overwhelming responsibility to show up as the CEO. Could he technically not show up? Sure. And any parent can technically not sho

Even friggen Apple, who seem to have a rep for caring about such things. I'd say I'd need at least 5 more levels between off and the lowest volume on my iPhone. It's way too loud to use in a quiet room. I have to try to cover

If they're sharing the joy of discovery that's great. Lots of people though are gloating. "Haha, you're stupid, you didn't know X and I did". In other words, they're the ones not being charitable by assum

You clearly have never lived in a city with good public transportation. 20yrs with a car in car infested suburbia and then 18 without in a city with amazing public transportation. Without was way better.

If people didn't want to live in the cities the prices would be cheap, no demand. The fact that they're not cheap is proof people want to live in them

It depends on what you're used to. SF to San Jose, unless you live next to a station at one end and the place you're trying to go is next to a station at the other I'd expect 2 to 2.5 hrs one way. A quick search shows SF to S

They aren't in Japan. Why would they be anywhere else? Many subway-trains in Japan are trains for the first 20 stations, then "subways" for the next 10, then trains for the 20 stations after that. Same cars. They may have bee

I'm in the 1% and so are most of the people around me. Many of them want to ride good public transit. Good public transit = London, Paris, Tokyo, Singapore, Amsterdam, Berlin, Seoul. It does not equal LA, SF, NYC. LA's got disman

An issue is where.... rent in SF or LA or NYC is $4k a month for a 1bedroom apartment. Rent in some parts of the mid-west is probably $500 a month or less. So is UBI for the first or the 2nd? Do you have to move somewhere where rent is chea

Where are these mythical big, fast, wide roads? Every road I know, no matter how wide, is slow. And making it wider doesn't help because of induced demand.

I agree S.O. is good at this since it has comments and you can add new answers as well as edit old ones. But, the rest of the internet is covered in outdated articles that never get updated. Also Reddit which auto-closes its threads.

Steam asks for admin to be installed and asks for it again to install more features related to screen sharing. To me, any app that asks for admin is suspect.
