   Even with all scripts enabled, Spacebar (and Vimperator's Ctrl+D) are broken. Home/End and Vimperator's gg/G turn out to not work as well.

   The title is written as if unlawful statements are somehow made legal when posted on Facebook. The site then goes on to make a big deal about that: "all for something he posted on Facebook". Of course statements made on Facebook can be crim

    No, I got that. What I'm saying is that this doesn't really matter. Cockpit doors lock now, and waving a gun isn't going to make the pilots open them. If terrorists just want to shoot somebody, there's no reason for them to bother getting o

    How do you propose to defend against insurance fraud? With mixing services available, there would seem to be very little risk in robbing one's own account.

    I'm reminded of the Soviet film "The Irony of Fate" in which the protagonist finds himself in the wrong city by mistake, and fails to realize this due to the uniformity of Soviet architecture. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Irony_of_Fate

    How do you propose to judge factual claims made by the article? Take them to be true on faith? The issue isn't that The Sun's readers are "festering idiots," or that the stories are typically unimportant. If that were all, you could be forg
