If URLs were really for people we wouldn't see people sent to prison for manipulation of URLs.

I find it sad, yet indicative of the status quo, that this topic has relatively few points, yet the one about a film 'critic' who died at an advanced age has several hundred points. It seems that more people are interested in fiction than f

It reminds me that it wasn't so long ago that the thought of traveling from New Zealand to California in a few hours was inconceivable. Thus, to assume that we have reached the pinnacle of knowledge, be it regarding physics, or any other sc

And when that GMO crop pollinates adjacent non GMO crops, Monsanto can sue the adjacent farmer(s) for "stealing" Monsanto's GMO. This is an inherent flaw, and has already occurred. Sort of like the fox guarding the hen house.

The article rises to the level of the lowest common denominator, namely, the typical "dumbed-down" American who is unable to formulate an independent opinion.

My connection is as secure as T-Mobile makes their "4G Mobile Hotspot." The fact that an acquaintance in England (I'm in Hawaii) also saw the x-rated background leads me to believe that something else is going on with this page.

I believe it was President George "Dubya" Bush who said, "You're either with us, or you're against us." This mentality, coupled with the (unpatriotic) "Patriot Act," leaves a lot of room for defining criminality, which, apparently, the US S
