Bunked up or debunked? You give 5 points and spew on. I pick apart one data point which I found was 99% false. Can I trust the rest of what you wrote? With respect to Point 5, Israel uses Palestinians as human shields: One time, in 2004, Israeli soldiers tied a boy, aged 13 who, along with others, had been throwing rocks at their jeep, to the jeep and drove through the area they had driven through previously. The boy was afraid people would throw rocks at him. A law was passed in Israel in 2002 stating Palestinians could not be used as shields, and the Israeli soldiers were disciplined for this breach of the law. There is no evidence this has happened since. There is no evidence this ever happened in Gaza. There is no evidence this has ever happened when the soldiers believed they would have anything other than rocks thrown at them (since 2002). I don't accept this claim.

Another shortcoming of the article is that this feature could be quite useful for more than parents; tour guides for small personalized tours could also use minivans with a microphone they don't have to separately install.

I'm more concerned about my searches - looking for things on the internet scares me. What you search for can define what you're thinking about more than what you find. For example, just today I was asked by a website, based on a search I ran, if I had metastatic prostate cancer. Umm, (long pause here because I don't have a prostate) no.

Don't you think that there will be some people who will wait for the buoy to warn them a shark is near and then go in the water? I don't mean to pick on Australians, I'm talking about dumb macho guys (not like the guys here on /.).

Actually, I believe they are using the dried urine carbon as a catalyst. It is not consumed in the fuel cell (or otherwise).

Slap! Haven't unlearned all my lawyeristic ways, even though I stopped practicing 20 years ago. Slap! Must! Not! Think! like a D?&%!

I agree. The so-called "Report" doesn't tell me my current video quality at all, it just gives the average over 30 days over all the customers in my area using my provider (so how does this compare me with my neighbor???). The only one who benefits from this is the ISP who will no doubt tout it in endless commercials. (And by the way, I'm in the 29th largest metropolitan area in the US, and it has results for here).

What I hate is when I go to a website, and then all I get for the next week are ads from that website all over my other screens. Makes me want to scream, and actually is a large disincentive for going back to that website short of an Onion Browser (yes, StubHub, that's why I won't buy tickets from you).

I usually just put a piece of paper over the screen for the duration of the flight. Sometimes I even leave it for the next customer . . .

I think - in extension to this point - that the lawyers suing GM are too lazy/unable to read every document GM could produce in discovery and therefore they simply do word searches among the documents for the 69 words. The other alternative for protecting yourself from lawsuits (besides never using the words the lawyers will find) is to delete all copies of all emails, memos, and presentations that are more than 6 months old. I have heard about a company that tries to use this method to reduce its legal exposure.
