Is this a ploy to get teenage kids to read more? Scene1: Pa: Hey kid, don't read these books - they're BANNED. . . go play GTA7 on Xbox or something. Kid: Omfg! Banned you say? Scene2: [Kid reading and expanding horizons]

Classic law of journalism strikes again: Any time a head-line starts with a question, the answer is 'no'.

Staff not performing to capacity? Burn them out (literally) with our new patented high-current implants!

That was my immediate thought too.

We *do* have a nuclear power plant. . . It was just decided never to turn it on. . . thank fuck for that! (Because it was later damaged beyond repair in the Mount Pinatubo eruption of the 90s).

I believe power pretty much always goes up on poles and over land here, not buried. . . Besides being Typhoon-prone, we're in the pacific ring of fire so are earthquake prone. . . Japan does the same thing. .

There are plenty of other places people can see these videos. I don't think it should be on Facebook.

For someone who was always frying himself, he lived a long time. . . He was 87 when he died. Probably from natural causes, but it was world war II, and all of his papers had recently been confiscated by the FBI.

I reckon the best study would just be to let them compete. . . and see what happens. Chances are they will be less harmful than cigs.

Congrats for finally doing it.

Instead of the 'Start' menu, they will have the 'Spy' menu.

I have a Seagate Hybrid drive (7200 rpm) in my Macbook. . It made a huge difference over the old 5400 standard HDD. Really great. And cheap. I seriously doubt its "as good" as an SSD though.
