I bet Digg wishes it had that power. I always thought Superman was flying faster than the speed of light to go back in time and save Lois. Turns out he really was reversing the rotation of the Earth to rewind events. I like my version of

I'm surprised you can so easily equate illegal loggers with mass murders. I'm actually a bit shocked at a lot of the comments here. This story has brought out the crazy in a lot of posters that's generally suppressed by the focused theme o

Text messaging does add value. Remember having to call, leave a voicemail, then listen to a reply voicemail confirming plans? "Meet at Joe's at six." "Ok" Value is not the same thing as cost. The cost to carriers is low, but the value to
