Mint is awesome, been using it for a while now. Will have to test this release as soon as I have done my usual month or so wait to guard against the bleeding edge factor.

Should be titled '3 years of government spending in one graph' as it seems to completely fail in putting the figures into context by skipping intervening years, so we have no idea from this whether this is representative, or cherry picked f

Was thinking that the smiley face was not much of an addition, but then clocked that you are probably the author of the piece, in which case the smiley face was probably fairly tactful.

Is an opinion piece based on a rational argument. You can argue against his assertion if you like, but to merely complain about typefaces and lack of hard data would seem to miss the point. For one thing, I strongly doubt that the author th

Here's the text of the actual speech, linked to from the article. http://roundtable.nationaljournal.com/2012/05/the-inequality... To be honest, it seems to be basic common sense, if this is too controversial for TED then they are seriousl

The lines themselves are very local to the areas they pass through, many of which are in populated areas. But, if you are basically saying I am comparing apples with oranges, France's ongoing investment in urban light rail is currently ecli

How can new infrastructure be far too expensive for what is still the richest country on the planet? Europe is building high speed rail links across the continent, even during a recession that is combined with slash and burn public sector p

Oooo.. that's nice, but a pricey way to do it. Buying existing liners, rafting them up and retrofitting would seem like a more achievable aim in practice. You could probably get some off Costa at the moment for less than the market rate.

I wonder if some enterprising soul could park up some old cruise liners and rent them out if the building regulations are that much of a problem.

Apologising for plagiarism isn't artificial PR if you mean it. All I get from this comment is that you basically don't give a shit, which also means you really should not be an editor as that role is entirely about accepting responsibility

Balance is overrated in debate. Researching and providing a wealth of multiple viewpoints is fantastic, but there is rarely a need to try and present all viewpoints as equally valid. The need for balance seems to be something that has crept
