   The old firefox had a single X that worked on the current tab. It was superior in every way. Took up less space, prevented accidental closes, easily allowed rapid closing. They got rid of it, and I never could figure out why.

   I can't conceive of any self-interested goal that's furthered by combating anthropogenic climate change, other than mitigating the effects of it actually happening. Wow. Really? It's not that hard. When billions of dollars move around,

   "Chutzpah". Very Gladwellian. The simplest explanation is that Israel has lots of Jews, who tend to be smart and hard-working, as demonstrated consistently for 1000s of years. The need-a-poker-face-to-utter-it explanation is that they ha

   Here are the yields on Japanese Bonds http://www.bloomberg.com/markets/rates/japan.html 2.2 percent on a 30 year bond, which means that the maximum upside on the principal is roughly 20 percent. So, a 10K investment could theoretically r

    Google has no legal right to publish materials it doesn't own the copyright to, and that includes almost everything in its index. Their "opt-out" blah blah blah is meaningless. News Corp, the AP, Reuters, the NYTs, McClatchy, will all tak

    I think it's sweet that he managed to include a Nietzsche title without (apparently) realizing that he's describing the ubermensch.

    I'd rather see the emails between the guys at the Goldman Sachs carbon trading desk. Also, these guys aren't stupid (see the one guy's interest in destroying emails) and are going to be careful when communicating electronically.

    While I doubt you could accumulate the statistics, I'd bet that the carrying of 4700+ dollars correlates very well with participation in the drug trade. Depositing 10k into a US bank earns you a free investigation, even if not face-to-face

    I question the numbers. (Well, the female ones anyway.) I had a plentyoffish account a few years ago, and the image ratings averaged around 3.5 out of 10 for both men and women. I know that the hotornot guys had the same problem, and adm

    Seems like saying, "x000 tons of nuclear waste below" would work a little better than being mysterious and vague. Fairly warned, if they want to dig it up, it's their own fault.

    Why start - or stop - at money? Not sure what you're getting at, but going all the way back to Plato's Republic, there have been proposals to engineer society with children. More recently, Children's Societies were one of the features o

    Whole lotta snark there. Murdoch, of course, has properties in a dying industry and he's got to do what he can. Not sure why that requires so much sarcasm. If he succeeds, the Guardian will be right there in line to do the same.

    In olden times they would hang or severely flog such people. I have no idea what is best, but in some instances you are essentially dealing with broken specimens of humanity. Maybe a good lobotomy would be best. They could ask me whether

    I recommend FF 2.x. You'll be restarting it at a vigorous pace then. But at least the address bar and tabs aren't completely ruined.
