Fred Singer was actually one of those same people denying that smoking caused cancer.

It's the same asshole liars.

An audio/video explanation:

Possibly stupid question: where's the video that leaked? I can't find it on that site or the one it links to as a source. Anyone know? /Could be my noscript causing problems

So as someone from outside (I'm Canadian), I've come to the conclusion that the US will only solve it's issues that way. I'm truly saddened by it, and I hope it's quick and mostly bloodless, but I doubt it will be.

I know it's not a popular idea, but you have to admit: the level of vitriol in the USA has hit unbelievable levels. It makes my head hurt - for both of the major parties. You don't have political options any more - the only one that is an ACTUAL choice away from more of the same is Ron Paul. Too bad he's so far out to lunch. You're headed towards civil war. And right now all the religions folks have all the guns. Oh the irony.

I wish you the best of luck. Please, keep your military out of it, and protect your nukes while you sort this shiat out.

Good lord, are you an idiot? Have you never seen the "airplane mode" or "data off" or "full shutdown" options?

There's some truth to this.

Several years ago, GoDaddy switch all of their domain parking to IIS, explicitly to get microsoft's numbers up. Throw 10,000 cnames pointed at a single machine serving up parking pages, and boom - 10,000 websites running IIS.

How would you feel if your bank only honored 93% of your deposits?

Hum. Directly to the project, rather.

I did some research into this about a year ago - and decided to go with Plan International.

My criteria:

• A large percentage of their donations had to go directly to the
• Non-religious
• Focused on third world countries
• Infrastructure and educational projects
• Long-term investment in specific locations

I give specifically to their water project. I think that while sponsoring a child is significant, I find that I'd rather put my money specifically into infrastructure. Water and Sanitary systems, in my mind, are more important than education within a community - and I figure many others put money into education.

Only language we ever needed was C. You putzes just aren't using it right.
