That is true, I also forgot to mention that number 7 plastics may or may not contain BPA as well... As for medical grade plastics I am not sure..

It has been known and banned in many other parts of the world. I don't even think the USA has done anything about it though. If you avoid number 3 plastics you have no BPA worries. That means number 1, 2, 4, 5, and six are BPA free. Just thought everyone would like to know

Submission + - Why the web mustn't become the new TV (shadowlocked.com)
An anonymous reader writes: The author argues that Rupert Murdoch's bid to own complete control of BSkyB is only part of an ongoing process to make the internet a totally 'linear' experience. The increase in the use of paginated content and the proliferation of video over transcribed interviews are, the author argues, part of a tidal shift from a browsable to a linear internet experience that will move the user's experience of media from genuine choice to a series of locked-down 'information rides', in order to re-secure advertising exposure. The author also writes: "Current worries among publishing houses that magazines and newspapers will succumb to the digital written word on the internet are perhaps analogous to Victorian fears about mechanical horses taking over from real horses in the drawing of carriages. The point is being missed, the wrong fear being indulged."
Submission + - Ease of publishing an ebook (huffingtonpost.com)
ISoldat53 writes: This article describes how easy it is to publish an ebook. The author details the costs to the writer for a major publishing house to publish a book and the savings to the writer by self-publishing. He looks to make the same profit selling the book at $2.99 on amazon.com as he does going though a publisher. The book is Kindle specific for now but the author describes how it can be purchased though amazon.com and converted for other readers. No DRM.

This is a local issue. Most of what you pay in federal tax actually does not pay any of the regular government shit you think of. Federal government doesn't pay for your fire, it doesn't pay for your police, and it doesn't pay for local facilities of any sort in the USA. I believe the federal government should practice it's right to tax imports/exports, regulate interstate trade, and insure that states can not take away the rights of their citizens as presented in the constitution. Ron Paul being president would not change your cities fire and police services...
