North Magnetic Pole Racing Toward Siberia 187
RogerRoast sends along a backgrounder from Scientific American on the best current theory as to why the north magnetic pole drifts. "The NMP, also known as the dip pole, is the point on Earth where the planet's magnetic field points straight down into the ground. Scottish explorer James Clark Ross first located the NMP in 1831 on the Boothia Peninsula in what is now northern Canada... [T]he NMP drifts from year to year as geophysical processes within Earth change. For more than 150 years after Ross's measurement its movement was gradual, generally less than 15 kilometers per year. But then, in the 1990s, it picked up speed, ... bolting north–northwest into the Arctic Ocean at more than 55 kilometers per year. If it keeps going it could pass the geographic north pole in a decade or so and carry on toward Siberia."

I don't buy that freedom index at all. Not only is the US #20, it's actually BELOW the UK. A girl was recently arrested for burning a Koran in the UK, and I remember some kids getting arrested for flying a certain flag. In the US, however, NeoNazis and Hippies and Fred Phelps and Gay Pride Parades are all PROTECTED by Police Officers. The US is the only place I know of where an officer of the Law will put his life in the way of your Freedom to speak, even if he and everyone else think that what you are saying is the most hateful, disgusting drivel on the planet.

Pneumonia? That's no way for a man to die. A parachute not opening... that's a way to die. Getting caught in the gears of a combine... having your nuts bit off by a Laplander, that's the way I wanna go.

I view the whole sorry affair as the result of over-exposure to American culture,
Are you kidding me? People in the US look at most of the stuff that goes on in the UK... getting arrested for Tweets, getting arrested for flying certain flags, while guys in America get police protection to obscenely picket funerals. We know that this sort of thing would NEVER fly in America, not in spirit nor in the letter of the law. We've got the First Amendment for that.
a culture of flying off the handle, an overinflated sense of entitlement, and above all, an almost complete lack of understanding of the concept of irony.
Yeah, whatever.

Like Diablo 1 and 2, it will be nothing but a clickfest where the player clicks on random enemies until they die, occasionally picking a new spell to cast. And like Diablo 1 and 2, I will play the fuck out of it and be a hermit for 6 months after its release.

Except that the numbers drastically shift from Liberal to Conservative not at $150k, but at $50k... which isn't all that much money to a lot of us. This means the "educated" liberals likely have bullshit degrees that they can't make money off of or are otherwise (perhaps for ideological reasons) doing jobs that otherwise don't pay well.

Almost anywhere you go these days (particularly on slashdot), if you check for new stories, you have a pretty good chance of seeing a a duped story from another site. Of course, since it's a duped story (news site to news site) it's not actually news. So why is this in so many places? Turns out it's due to a bug in site moderators. Apparently, the way they work is that if they can't find a 'new' story, they automatically sets up their site to broadcast a duped story, using the title of the last story that was popular. So... people see this and they try to read it. Then their own favorite sites start broadcasting the same thing, because it can't find a good story on its own. And, like a virus, the 'Duped Story' that doesn't work lives on and on and on."
