Back on Jul 17 an email arrived to my gmail inbox. Subject: "Earn an LL.M. in the United States in Less Than A Year". Sent by UF Levin College of Law, they spammed me and lots of courserans about a program "designed exclusively for graduates of law schools outside of the United States and from the U.S. Commonwealth of Puerto Rico who want to enhance their understanding of the laws and legal language and culture of the United States of America."
The distribution list did not ask for permission or confirmation. The design errors didn't stay there: anyone could reply to the list and have the messages forwarded. In less then two hours, 47 angry students from around the world complained and asked each other to send an email to Coursera. Which I did. I only got an automated reply, and never heard back from them.

In my country bio-degradable bags are mandatory. We have to pay an insignificant amount of money for each bag (equivalent to 0.025 USD - yes: two and a half cents) and it solves the problem completely because we still use them to carry goods from the supermarket and to dispose the trash, but after a year or two the bags degrade and are gone forever.

Yea, and today people have a favourite hobby that consists in building small scale unmanned aircrafts and go bombing their neighbours... oh wait, they don't.

A classicla latin spell checker would say it's a typo, because this is a new word invented by biologists.

Changing gears is so fun! Who can possibly buy a car that takes away the freedom of changing gears? Oh, wait...

The seat of my country's government has inifinite* triplets. The same location is: Booster.correct.direct, drove.flips.packing, changing.dubbing.lump, cakes.formally.snores. reviewed.strides.slug, marriage.moved.poker, activity.resist.glad, quieter.alien.result, mother.tablet.powerful, etc.

Maybe the spread is smaller?

The USA has been consistent in denying basic human rights outside the borders of their own country - that's why they do all the dirty stuff in Cuba.

It's ok to comment the news in the summary, but this has gone too far. "Apple is bad, you must hate Apple." Come on.

This has been tested experimentally. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_test_experiments

It already is in the U.S. It's called democracy. If 51% of the population wants this, they get it. They can be wrong, but it's their choice.
