I've been on /. long enough to remember when most people here leaned libertarian. Ian Freeman would've been celebrated as a hero. I'm shocked at the current unquestioning acceptance of whatever the Establishment media says. Sad.

Here's a different take on this story and a deep dive into Ian Freeman.

is john mcafee a living jubal harshaw? this was fun to read.

is it possible to devise tasks that prisoners can perform in prison which will strengthen this part of the brain?

that's the spirit. the people who tell you not to go looking for trouble are the people who forget how much trouble they got themselves into.

And now use it for reference and research.

Ask him how he would do it, and be genuinely interested in his response. Maybe he just wants to beat his chest a little, and maybe he'll even say something useful.

DRM licensing and implementation increase production cost. The increase is compensated by taxing customers with higher prices. As prices rise, the incentive to purchase is lessened and the reality of copying and free distribution becomes more pronounced. A practically infinite supply of ebooks can only be adequately priced by experimenting within markets. The tangible goods approach to electronic markets is flawed at inception, as it ignores reality and attempts to contain a force much greater than itself. Imagine flying water into the sun to inhibit global warming.

First the status bar. Now the location bar!!

If Google made cars...

• Combine all dashboard widgets (speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, etc.) into one toolbar, which doesn't fully show anything, to maximize windshield real estate.
• Hide the steering wheel to free up yet more precious window pixels currently being blocked by its top arc.
• Eliminate sun visors since some users use them to block part of the windshield.

have there been any studies done between people who shoot lots of people in public and mental illnesses?

Ha'aretz is solidly in Left field and is outright anti-religious.

You first said that the JPost was "far, far right." I consider Avigdor Lieberman to be moderately right. His party is almost as compromising as Shas. Try Ya'akov Katz (Ketzaleh) for "far" (i.e. true) right. Baruch Marzel for "far, far" right. Not that there's anything wrong with being right...

The Jerusalem Post hosts a range of views, but overall, it is a secular, center-left mainstream media organization, complete with a Zodiac/astrology page. Israel's "far right" never reads JPost, except with dreading curiosity.

As for "Greater Israel," I did manage to find a JPost column from April entitled Keep Dreaming: The case for a greater Israel. Maybe this is what you're thinking of. But did you read the column? About midway, it reads, "The greater Israel [19th century Zionist visionary Theodor] Herzl envisioned had nothing to do with borders; it had everything to do with morals, ideals and behavior." Moreover, the bottom of the column notes that it was written by a representative of Conservative Judaism, which is a branch of Judaism that tends to be politically center-left. (The word "Conservative" here has nothing to do with politics.)

In their view, should Stuxnet not be handily around to embellish on, they would have to fall back on to their old standby canard of "God's finger" slowing the Iranian centrifuges directly to protect his Jewish children

Trusting in God's protection, in fact, has been a sturdy standby for the State of Israel. One could begin a study of this topic with Israel's victory in the 1967 Six Day War, a modern miracle by all accounts.

Nitpick: The phrase "finger of God" usually has to with one of the following subjects: astronomy (Hubble telescope picture), God's creation of the universe, or God's etching of the Ten Commandments. I'm pretty sure it's not a common phrase in JPost articles.

I wouldn't say "nicely." His rant has a load of f-bombs and other blatantly offensive language. He has a good point, but his manner of delivery makes it unlistenable. (Note to comedians: Cussing isn't funny. Or professional. You come off as a trashy low-life, demeaning both yourself and your audience.)

The point is that Aziz the "Christian" was helping to advance very anti-Christian goals (pro-Islamic or not), as is the case with the Ground Zero Mosque.

Very clever! A basketball court is a great idea to lure blacks into the "cultural center" to convert them to Islam.

And the board of directors for this cultural center also includes a number of Christians!

So what? Saddam Hussein's Deputy Prime Minister was a "Christian." There are countless examples of nominal adherents (often leaders) exploiting their religious affiliation (whether by pedigree or congregational membership) to battle the interests, doctrines, and followers of their supposed faith.
