Excellent, that ship should help a lot if the numbers I've seen are accurate.

In other words, you also agree that they are not as evil as Hitler, but feel that they align with bigoted or superstitious interests. So it wasn't a cheap slur, just a fitting comparison. Much like comparing a Canadian goose to the space sh

"Are those positions "evil" in the same sense that say Hitler was evil?" Since you seem worried about this I'll help you out a bit. Since the American right wing lacks a specific plan to exterminate millions of a certain race or religion,

As much as possible should be done about both problems. This article puts forth the idea that we can and should be doing more to clean up what is already there. If the leak stopped tomorrow, should we deploy the largest possible oil cleani

Yes, its just one man's opinion against another that the world's largest oil skimmer does not seem to be operating in the Gulf. Almost like those poor saps who think we didn't land on the moon. Didn't they see Obama walking on the beach!

Your edit says it all... you assumed it was a "right wing" piece so you assumed it was terrible evil lies. Good luck with that.

You're right, we shouldn't clean it up quickly and effectively because its getting worse. We should wait until all of the oil is in the ocean and then clean it up all at once! That's much more effective! No, seriously, what is your point he

How does a VPN change anything? My point is that this gives Google easy access to stats about every website that is using Google-hosted web fonts. Like an old transparent tracking GIF...

No it isn't. What an absolutely ridiculous claim. The two "Bach-like" pieces are rubbish, full of strange discontinuities and random meanderings, not to mention the rhythm just hammering away in a very set pattern. Reminds me of terrible b

Why is it called diaspora? Seems like a very emotionally charged name for something that should probably have a neutral or fun name.

"edit: well, for some definition of work anyway." I agree heartily. When downloading podcasts, an activity that could be handled by a perl script and wget, iTunes likes to use my entire processor. I have no idea why, and its done so for se

Does it seem weird to anyone else that iTunes, ostensibly a music library program and music store interface, is now in charge of activating phones and tablet PCs, as well as managing their applications and shared files? Shouldn't there be

Most people just use Facebook to do what they might with a Twitter account. I would say comments, likes, and above all it being built into something that they already have is what gets people to actually use it.
