"They think we are violent and terrible people, let's go be violent and terrible to prove them wrong!"

Heard a story about Chinese attempts to begin fracking recently. The government in China is being uncharacteristically cautious due to environmental concerns. At least, that's what they are saying. I think they just don't want to have to pay us to do it for them.

I don't think it's fair to look at the market share of Android versus the share of iOS devices, due to the fact that Google doesn't manufacture the majority of Android devices. Apple is the sole provider of iOS, so their 25% or whatever it is now of market share is entirely theirs. Whatever share Android controls is divided among every other smartphone manufacturer, and when you do that Apple is very far ahead of Google's Nexus phones.

There's a show on CW called Supernatural that's pretty awesome, if you're into monster hunter fiction at least...

Hypothetical:

US citizen A joins enemy army.
US citizen A takes action against US while in enemy army.
Is Citizen A guilty of treason?

Yes, he's guilty of treason. Given sufficient evidence for action against the US, Citizen A may even be convicted of treason without a trial.

Traitors are killed. Treason is the only law in the US Constitution that defines its punishment. Technically, they should be hanged, but somehow I don't think it really makes a difference.

Sounds like a win-win?

You can be sued for Mental Anguish or Pain and Suffering for severe emotional distress.

So wait.. are you saying that because I don't know if the person I'm talking to is genuinely in distress that gives me the right to make fun of them? There are laws against cyberbullying precisely because of things like this. People are complete assholes on the internet when they think they are safe and anonymous, and they say or do things they would never consider doing in person. I doubt the Reddit posters would stand outside a building and tell a jumper to jump... but when it's just an internet post it's perfectly alright? I disagree, and I hope they lose this case.

I think including the delivery method of the pesticide is sort of important for the summary. It's pretty obvious that pesticide kills bugs; what is not obvious is that HFCS contains trace amounts of pesticides.

It doesn't go to 111 :(

I remember reading Lord of the Flies at 14 in school... There are a few very graphic scenes of violence in there, particularly when they first slaughter and kill the boar (which my teacher specifically described the scene as sexual in nature) and later when one of the kids dies.

And we read To Kill a Mockingbird at 13, with all its barely veiled racism and mention of rape...

And Fahrenheit 451 at 12...

Well educated children should have no problems with these concepts. I have a cousin who is 13 and reading The Hunger Games in class, which is another dark story involving significant violence.

I dealt with these guys once, and I definitely understand what they mean by 'aggressive tactics.' I bought a new Linksys router several months back and was having trouble getting the wi-fi working, so I looked on Google for the Linksys support and the iYogi site was the first thing to pop up. Since I couldn't find a support number to call at Linksys's website I didn't really have any choice but to call the one number I could find.
So I describe the problem to the guy and he has me download some java program to screen-share with me, then has me run through the various troubleshooting steps... So far no real problems. But when he couldn't find a solvable issue (ie: hardware problem) he asked me to open regedit and open a couple random keys, then told me my registry was corrupt but they could sell me their service which would fix my registry so the router would work.
I'm decent enough at fixing computers myself to know that was a load of crap, but Average Joe Consumer would be pretty far in the dark. Not only was my registry fine, but the router was defective, so their service would have been completely worthless.

Viacom and all its networks block GTV.

I hadn't heard of the first Tokai Mura incident, so I consulted Wikipedia. For the curious, here is the link:

I'm completely against teaching creationism in schools, but I think this court ruling is way off base. A teacher shouldn't be obligated to teach any kind of dogma based heavily on religion, but that doesn't mean they have the right to belittle others' beliefs. If a student wants to make a big deal about creationism or religion in general, they can take it up with the teacher outside of the classroom environment. There is a clear difference between expressing disagreement with one's beliefs and attacking them, and I actually hope this gets turned around on appeal. It's basically saying a teacher can enforce their religious beliefs on their students...
