Reading CDC's website, it's quite interesting to see that according to them 36,000 people on average die from seasonal flu and that's during the flu season. H1N1 only caused what, roughly 500-600 deaths since begining of the year and according to them it's active the whole year. http://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/disease/us_flu-related_deaths.htm Hmm, is anyone else getting flashbacks to Wag the Dog? No?

New York City should sue Apple for using their logo. It's only fair according to Apple logic...

If you think Dems are for consumer rights and are not deep in corporate pockets, them you are truly ignorant!

Well, technically since fascism in Germany evolved from socialism, and socialism can lead to communism (like in Soviet Union), he just keeps repeating himself...

Diesels are not as gutless a some may think. They are just tuned for low rpm performance, which is where those engines spend most of their life. Some guys modify their turbo diesels with bigger turbos, bigger injectors, propane injection and nitros oxide to produce some STUPID power. Here's a link showing some of those trucks drag racing other cars and beating them pretty bad... [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kH9kKYz0kmI"]Link[/URL]

Amen brother! It's saddening how the western media choose to ignore when Georgia started shelling civilian targets in South Ossetia and then launched a full scale invasion. Georgians were preparing for it for 4 years and planned to do it in one day before Russia could interfere. But only when Russia responded a day and a half later did we here about and what we heard was "Russia Invades Georgia!". There are both sides to this story but in this particular case it was Georgia that was the aggressor. And let's not forget history. South Ossetia was given to Georgia by Stalin ( who is Georgian) in the 1950's. Prior to that Ossetia was it's own entity and they and Georgians have a mutual hatred for each other dating back centuries. So when you hear that Georgia "lost it's territories" to Russian "aggression", stop and consider the real facts, not what news media is telling you!

They call it "search assistant". Basically if you try to search from address bar or mistype an address it hijacks your search from search provider you selected in your browser and redirects it to its own search page. "Opting out" does not really work all that well because it get's you to a page that says "oops we can't find what you were looking for" and then gives you a link that takes you to your preferred search provider. Very annoying to say the least. :-(

What I don't understand is why is everyone so obsessed with CO2. Humanity produces but ~2% of it, the rest is produced naturally by volcanoes, forest fires and such. If we all stop producing CO2 tomorrow, nothing will change, it's about time we realized that we are NOT gods and stop playing one. Yes, it's nice to have less pollutants in our cities but let's call it that and not the cure for global warming. Global warming is a natural process that has happened in the past without humans and will happen with or without them again.

I use shared SSL with 1and1 and granted 1and1 sucks a big one when it comes to service or doing things like backup or informing that somebody hacked your site, deleted your content and uploaded some muslim terrorist propaganda site but in terms of ssl and dns, their service is pretty solid.
