Killing people over ideological differences is certainly wrong, but not everything that's wrong is fascism. "Fascism" is not a slur to be thrown around and used against random bad things; it's a pretty specific political ideology. Please don't abuse the word.

So far the only person who has clearly expressed animal-like behavior here (unwarranted extreme aggression towards different people) is you.

Because our faith-powered rockets keep failing! I blame Joseph. He's seemed pretty doubtful that it could work, with his fancy-schmancy physics degree. His lack of faith is disturbing our rocket!

That makes sense if you don't consider defending DOMA, or seeking to have it brought under judicial review for constitutionality, to be getting anything done.

They may both say "it should be left to the states" which is true, strictly speaking. Yet they differ in the federal government's role in this decision -- specifically, whether states should be required to respect another state's decision to allow gays to marry, and whether federal employees can receive benefits tied to marriage.

The underwriters usually have a 15% over allotment of the stock that they can manipulate to support the price if it breaks the syndicate bid. If Morgan Stanley did't have to buy more than that 15% of the issue to support the price on the day of the IPO then they might not have lost any thing.

Reference Greenshoe Green Shoe Manufacturing was the first IPO to have this allotment which is why its been called that ever since.

This would alienate many of those who are willing to accept girls going to school in the first place. It would be somewhat analogous to trying to solve the problem people had with blacks receiving an education at all in the Reconstruction era by forcing integration 80 years early. In trying to stymie your foes, you've only succeeded in multiplying them.

Basically, the situation is more complicated than complete backward asshats willing to poison girls just to punish them for trying to become educated, and equality-of-sexes feminists.

Uh I don't think you get the import. This wasn't an attack against random women, it was an attack against women seeking an education. They are aware that they need women. They would rather those women stay at home and spit out then take care of sons rather than seek to better themselves.

The message is: Women who seek to become educated will be targeted with violence. Remain at home, weak, ignorant, and dependent. Then there will be slightly less^W^W no violence.

So far as I know, Google Maps caching does not enable navigation over precached areas - it still needs to go online to find a route. Which makes it much less useful than one'd expect in practice.

On the other hand, one thing that they do is precache maps along the route when you start navigating - along highways etc. So, unless you have to change the route considerably, you should be good.

Naw, disingenuous. They're framing the usual BS anti-AGW arguments like "they didn't consider alternative explanations" (monumentally false) with a flimsy rhetorical device to make it sound like they're just bemoaning the current state of things which just happens to be the fault of the scientists...

Nokia still sticks to its offline maps, even in its newest WP7 phones like Lumia. It's a bit different there since it's not offline out of the box - instead, you have to explicitly make specific regions available offline via settings, at which point it'll download the corresponding maps. But, once done, the experience is more or less the same - in particular, it also enables offline navigation (unlike, say, Google Maps caching).
