It's what happens when you copy a URL off a Google result page without visiting it - Google search results point at a tracking URL that then points you at the real thing. If you want the real URL, you need to click the link and copy the result out of the address bar.

It's not a big risk, but people think it is. A threat that would make a good action movie and only kills two Americans a year will get more attention in Washington than a mundane threat that kills a million.

That your best argument for Al Gore is to snark on how Rush Limbaugh is worse speaks volumes about how fucked-up the American political landscape is.

I mean... wow.

So a malum prohibitum or civil offense is enough justification to make something blockable? That's not even a slippery slope, that's halfway down the hill. Build the infrastructure and it WILL be abused, particularly if it's all behind closed doors.

> I have read there has been a dramatic increase in bed bugs over the last decade in major urban centers. There is a very good reason why it has.

Yeah, that's where the most people are and where people move around the most. If you live in the boonies you never see people in on business trips, and you're more likely to own a house with no close neighbors instead of live in an apartment with a constantly-shifting set of neighbors. Less vectors.

> People have been told to save energy (and the environment) by using cold water to wash their laundry.

And they aren't people in the country? Got news for you: When you have your own water heater instead of a coin-op laundry, you look for ways to save hot water.

> While your laundry comes out smelling and looking clean just the same, you STILL need to use high temp wash under certain situations, like washing your bed sheets.

Wow. You're an entomologist like Rosie O'Donnell is a metallurgist. First off, the bugs don't live en masse in the sheets, so that won't halt an infestation. Second, when you're trying to kill bedbugs in fabric, it's usually recommended to DRY it on high heat and not even bother tossing it in a wash cycle unless you were going to anyway.

> I mean this is why I hate stupid green alarmists because they can't apply rational common sense to anything.

Try not to look in any mirrors. Learning the concept of self-awareness might destroy you.

In the real world, paying someone to get money back (and getting nothing) is a Nigerian scam.

In the music world, paying someone to get money back (and getting nothing) is business as usual.

... not seeing it. Even as eye candy she's meh.

Don't worry, I'm sure the Internet will be polite enough to avoid spoilers until then.

Great, now all the idiots who treat the LaHaye/Jenkins literary trainwreck Left Behind like it was scripture are going to pitch a fit, because there the antichrist is the result of genetic engineering to combine sperm cells of two gay lovers which is then used to artificially inseminate a woman.

About what I've found. External hard drives get passed around a decent amount between someone who understands where to get stuff and someone who just wants to watch movies.

Not exactly moving from strength to strength, there.... Unless "nicheiest fandom possible" is considered a strength.

No, but there was one about Adam Sandler as an ad exec that spent time focusing on his real-world-product clients.

And yet, if I had a nickel for every "If it makes my family safer I'm for it." and a penny for every "I don't have anything to hide." said non-sarcastically, I'd be able to buy myself some real privacy.

I liked the 2600 Pac-Man. Not a patch on the other versions, but if someone wanted to play Pac-Man in our house, it was fun, it worked, and had a decent pace.

And then after we ran it for a few hours the vitamin would sometimes split into two pieces placed randomly that couldn't be picked up. And then there was time my mom got the score to roll over and was annoyed that there was no victory message or kill screen. Good times.
