Ahhh ... thank you !!!
You have finally clarified for me something no pro-vaccination person had managed to yet explain. (Not that I particularly pursued an answer, mind you.)

I had previously enquired as to why pro-vaccination parents got all worked-up about whether or not other parents vaccinated their kids: if one's kids were vaccinated, one had nothing to fear, right? But apparently that's not always true.

Cheers bud.

Do Persians (Iranians?) even consider themselves to be Arabs?

Also: driving is usually necessary, skydiving rarely is.

Both the regimes of the United States of American and that of Great Britain have proven to be DISHONEST _and_ UNPRINCIPLED !

FTFY.

Are you serious?! I think the OP is intelligent enough to know shooting wouldn't be his first option.

Personally, I think it was quite a good hypothetical to illustrate a very important function of government.

Overall I think Google's various interfaces are very clean and generally work very well.

However, I have consistently found that when I log-into Google AdWords via Firefox, the cursor will jump from the password field to the email field while I'm still entering the password. I've never encountered this in Chrome. Strange.

Homosexual.

* Same here: excessive white-space down the left & right-hand side of the page.
* As others have said, the presentation of comments is off-putting.
* Images at the top of each article are a waste of space; dump them and display the full bloody summary instead !

Let me put it this way:
I used to visit Engadget a couple of times a day (I currently visit Slashdot more often). However after Engadget adopted their current design, I'd say I now visit them about once every 1 or 2 weeks. I love the content, I just detest how it's being presented to me. And now you guys are going down the same path ?!

You've been told. The rest is up to you.

Spot on.

Apple churns-out some kick-ass products; but we also know how proud they can be.

I'm sure Apple would love to ignore this issue, but if it gets more coverage in the mainstream press I'm sure they'll quickly (and quietly) release an update.

Fool you once, shame on me. Fool you twice? You are a moron and deserve what you get.

You stuffed-up a famous saying.

This is the correct form.

They just cannot ticket everyone who exceeds the speed limit because a large fraction of the public routinely does just that.

Australian politicians have accommodated that issue

1) Poor Mr Greenwald: so young and healthy and yet he suffered a fatal heart attack.

2) Poor Mr Greenwald: his vehicle careening off the road like that.

3) Poor Mr Greenwald: killed last night while being mugged for cash and his cell phone.

4) Poor Mr Greenwald: left a note saying he decided to go backpacking around the world but no one's seen him since.

etc

Of course, I hope he lives a long and healthy life ...

I'm a big fan of clarifying that government money is, in fact, our money.

Pisses me off when politicians gloat during fancy press conferences that they are allocating billions of dollars here and there, as if they were spending their own cash.

Aww, that's so cute that you think we can exploit a contradiction like this against the government.
In reality, they have our cake and eat it as well.

We, as a society, need to become much (much) more politically active before we can start to effect real change.
