"Dr James Lovelock, author of "The Revenge Of Gaia," no longer claims IPCC computer model predictions are inevitable. Once a man who preached runaway global warming, he has since tempered his opinions. He states in an interview, "There's no great certainty about what the future is going to be so legislation based on green pressure to say 'in 2050 the temperature will be so much' is not really very good science at all." This stands in stark contrast to radicals in government claiming climate change is a national security issue."Link to Original Source

""Target Corp. has agreed to pay $6 million in damages to plaintiffs in California unable to use its online site as part of a class action settlement with the National Federation of the Blind, a leading advocacy group for blind people.
As part of the settlement, announced Wednesday, Target will place $6 million in an interest-bearing account from which members of the California settlement class can make claims. Furthermore, the settlement requires Target to implement internal guidelines to make its site more accessible to the blind by Feb. 28, 2009, with assistance from the NFB."
So... how are you building your websites? Will Silverlight displace Flash on accessibility concerns? How many other irrelevant, non-sequitur, or 'hot button' questions do you need to be goaded into replying? Our ad department wants to know! (^_^)"Link to Original Source

"Think twice before griefing on Comcast. An outsourced vigilante tech might call your dad, who will come down to the basement, smack you around and smash your Xbox. Of course, the story contains a more ominous warning. The only security preventing outsourced techs from stealing your credit card number is ... Comcast policy."
