I would love to see the poll of former Mt. Gox users that knew the name stands for Magic: The Gathering Online Exchange http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mt._Gox. I would almost enjoy see the color drain from the faces of those get-rich-quick tulip bulb traders.

Would we all enjoy an announcement that the Koch Brothers will offer to fully-fund public education on the state level, but only if the state agrees to teach only the political, economic and scientific theory that the brothers approve (with violations being an instant termination)?

Public Education should be just that, not a plaything of the 1%; not for ideological reasons nor for 30 pieces of silver to cover budget shortfalls.

Love 'em or hate 'em, but the ship display screens in 2001 were quite original. It was early foreshadowing by a detailed director, telling a future of very lazy ones to come after.

It would be cheaper to do a pilot project in Centrailia, PA to build a power plant to generate steam from the coal already burning underground.

People with nothing to hide can still get wrongfully convicted with planted evidence.

You probably wouldn't buy a car without an engine.

No; you're contending one must buy a second engine.

Man, what a corrupt state.

The best answer I've seen as to what happened: this was a failed take-over of the plane (suicide attack, not high-jacking). It didn't work, so no one is going to claim responsibility (along with not tipping their hand at future attempts). And as it went into the sea at speed nearly perpendicular, not much of a debris field, just like the Airbus out of South America a few years ago.

I wonder how much Steams' moves away from Windows has impacted the possible decision by Microsoft to offer a free version of Windows (unless the free version is graphically / memory gimped).

I have sympathy for her, and her arguments against being spied upon. Why does she not have sympathy for us, and for our arguments against being spied upon?

Because she - being a very wealthy Senator - is more equaler than the rest of us.

Before the farm subsidy act of the 1950's, no one grew food crops in California, and no one raised cattle.

So all those 1930's Dust Bowl farmers moved from the plains to California just because the desert was more picturesque?

It's a question of ethics and credibility...

This reminds me of a Calc lecturer I had that when hearing a request from the hall to slow down his board work, relayed a story that when he was in college, his Calc prof had broken his writing arm but soon taught himself to use his other hand instead.

Once he was healed, he then started using both hands to write on the chalk board during his lectures.
