We're not that good at telling people what they should eat, but we're pretty damn good at telling people what they should not eat.

You're right in that the origins of the case are pretty stupid. And yet what the big Z did was pretty flagrantly illegal, which is how they got the 65m to begin with. And then he (apparently) did more illegal stuff. So you're right, one l

The phrase 'is dying' should die. It's not even used in the article itself -- why is it in the title here?

If you're writing a 100,000 word novel, a single text file in a text editor isn't really the optimal solution (although yes it's probably still better than using Word).

Oh yes, because the banks seem so dependable right now. Good thing they're such experts at handling obscenely large amounts of money. I mean, it's not like we're funding them with our tax dollars or anything...

Tiny suggestion -- maybe make the default avatar gender ambiguous? Or pull in Gravatars at least. edit: Minor quibble -- Sign-up now! should be without the hyphen -- sign-up is a noun, sign up is a verb. Also -- facebook connect seems
