youporn.com would disagree with you there. They're even advertising that HTML5 video works over AirPlay.
Or so I've heard. From my friend. Yeah, my friend...

The Bullsh*t meter when off when:
* No mention of coil size or currents used or measured. (300 ohm? what gauge, what inductance, what coil radius) How can they say a "small current'. WTF, what kind of field strength are we talking about. Amps, microamps?
* How can you measure or emit 7Hz with a coil that is a few inches in diameter?
* Weirdly using 7Hz and then talking about 7.83Hz Why wouldn't they try these experiments in all of the Schumann resonance frequencies.

Just don't buy one with an "assisted" GPS chip, such as the Motorola Droid. It requires a data connection to get a position fix, even with a standalone GPS application.

Best fake article ever. Out of a hundred comments so far no one noticed this is fake. This guy already got fooled at p2pnet.
Why this fake article works is that Scientology really believes this stuff. It's in the Psych Busters propaganda video the cult puts out.
CoS Bigwig Likens Wikipedia Ban to Nazis' Yellow Star Decree 567
We mentioned on Thursday that Wikipedia has banned edits originating from certain IP addresses belonging to the Church of Scientology; reader newtley writes now that Scientology leader (CEO and Chairman of the Board of the linked, but legally separate, Religious Technology Center) David Miscavige calls the ban "a 'despicable hate crime,' and asks, 'What's next, will Scientologists have to wear yellow, six-pointed stars on our clothing?' During World War II, Hitler forced Jewish men, women and children to wear a a yellow cloth star bearing the word Jude to brand them in the streets of Europe, and in the Nazi death camps."

Harmless? That article refers to INDOOR USE... not the indiscriminate spraying that happened decades ago. DDT has its uses, but it is hardly harmless.

Not only that, those electors may be violating State law, but so what?
There is not Constitutional requirement that the electors vote in any certain way or adhere to State laws or popular vote. That is why we live in a Republic, and there have many historical cases of electors not voting for the "correct" state required candidate. Sometimes by accident even.

Might I also suggest a look at Restructured Text as another alternative. Comes from the Python community. Raw text is a little easier to read IMHO and can also output to HTML, PS, PDF and LaTeX. Either way you go, one of these formats is nice in that you will easily be able to convert to most any format you'll need to publish your documentation in.
Submission + - 2004 vote count manipulated on GOP servers
hugecabbage writes: "The Free Press published an interesting article stating that not only did the Republicans alter the actual Ohio vote count during the 2004 presidential election, they also controlled how the tallies of those manipulated votes were disseminated over the web, affecting media and public perception of the returns as they occurred. FTA: 'There is more than ample documentation to show that on Election Night 2004, Ohio's "official" Secretary of State website — which gave the world the presidential election results — was redirected from an Ohio government server to a group of servers that contain scores of Republican web sites, including the secret White House e-mail accounts that have emerged in the scandal surrounding Attorney General Alberto Gonzales's firing of eight federal prosecutors.'"

The country results were sent to Ohio's Secretary of State, Ken Blackwell, and those results were hosted on a SMARTech webserver in TN. Blackwell had the IT guys switch the DNS on election night in order to accomplish a man-in-the-middle exploit on election results."
