Why would China build cities they know will never be filled? Atleast the government knows how much it citizen earn!  Wish I call buy one of those cities!

Check ebay. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Why? The commute to Nigeria every day is going to be a killer!
BTW: I'd remove the link to your company facebook site from your sig if I was you, before someone decides it's spam and starts reporting you - which it probably is...

Why would a company make all their staff sit at ridiculously cramped desks then get rid of people so they end up with pods of empty desks then setup unused computers on the empty desks so it doesn't look like they're empty?
Purely hypothetical question, of course.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

It's because:
1. There are so many billionaires (real billionaires, not penny-pinching milliardaires who call themselves billionaires, like in the US) in China who don't have a clue what to do with all their money, so they build stuff.
2. Local governments have even vaster funds to spend on trying to relieve the population expansion of existing cities (I live mainly in NL, which population is lower than that of each of the bigger Chinese cities).
The problem with both groups is that they have, so far, shown a remarkable level of inability in figuring out what people want.
I'm seriously considering visiting Thames Town on one of my next jaunts over there. It looks well cool.

Comitstrip: First Computer[^]
My first was an Amstrad 1640: EGA graphics, 640K RAM, 8MHz processor, no math coprocessor (but a socket so you could add one), no HDD, but twin 5 1/2" floppies (360Kb per disk).
And that was second hand...
What was your first "real" computer? (I'm not counting Spectrums and their ilk here: if it had a cassette tape it doesn't count  )

I had the Speccy itself; you just had the cheap knock-off.

I was expected some older module from you...
Mine was a (also used) C64 with tape and joystick (and floppy later). I got it from my father at age 12...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.
