How about logging JUST the search term? There's nothing wrong with google going "oh yeah, paris hilton was our #1 search". There's a problem with logging that "john doe in little rock, arkansas, zip code 23045, address 1234 main street; searched for 'paris hilton', 'britney spears', 'naked women', 'tennessee titans', 'george bush'."
Apple and Microsoft both are Lawful Evil. MSFT is known for exerting huge influence on the government to get the laws changed to favor them; really not all that different from the DnD player's handbook example of a corrupt government official.
Oh, Gore's movie (which I saw for the first time this week) was full of sensationalism. And yes, to some extent, there is a natural CO2 cycle. On the other hand, we've also reached the highest CO2 concentration in the atmosphere that we've ever recorded (and we can't even find one that high in the ice cores) and there's over 7 billion humans on the planet. There's no reason to doubt that we're affecting the natural cycle and pushing it above where it's "supposed" to be.
Furthermore, even if it were a 100% natural cycle, the direction we're headed could have disastrous risks to humanity- simultaneous worldwide coastal flooding would cost millions of lives. Consider the alternative, that we all of a sudden plunge into another ice age as part of the "natural" cycle. Wouldn't we want to prevent or minimize the effects EVEN THOUGH it's natural, to save the lives of the people in the northern cities?
Why not do the same thing with warming, to protect those in the coastal cities?
Because they don't have original sources for the data on each of those pages, right? People just pulled those numbers out of thin air, there's nothing factual about them AT ALL. In fact, even if they WERE factual, the mere fact that they got put on wikipedia means they're now wrong!
I drive a car that gets upwards of 30 miles to the gallon when I have to make trips, and I ride public transportation quite often. I've also worked at a company that designed "green" buildings.
Just because the mouth-breathing Freeptards can smear Al Gore with hypocrisy doesn't mean that global warming isn't a problem. The thing to note is that the impact of any one person is vanishingly small compared to the impact of a lot of the infrastructure we have no control over, the impact of large corporations, the impact of our dependency on fossil fuel for electric power, and so forth.
There are several streets in Atlanta with "Peachtree" as part of their name (not all of which are listed here), including Peachtree Creek Road, Peachtree Lane, Peachtree Avenue, Peachtree Circle, Peachtree Drive, Peachtree Plaza, Peachtree Way, Peachtree Memorial Drive, New Peachtree Road, Peachtree Walk, and Peachtree Valley Road. West Peachtree Street is not the western branch of Peachtree Street, but a major parallel north-south street located one block west of Peachtree Street running through Midtown. Others include Peachtree Battle Avenue, commemorating the Battle of Peachtree Creek, Peachtree-Dunwoody Road running between Peachtree Street and Dunwoody, Georgia, and Old Peachtree Road, which traces part of the route of the original Peachtree Trail for which the road is named. Some of these streets intersect with Peachtree Street, others are extensions of it, and some are nowhere near it.
I have no idea which game was first. In THPS 3 if you did a grind down a series of mine-cart tracks, you got a gap (bonus points + combo multiplier) called "Mandatory Video Game Mine Cart Ride". They were poking fun at the cliche.
I'm beginning to think the only way we're ever going to get rid of the "you don't need privacy" bullshit is to forcibly wrest the privacy from those who keep spouting that idiocy. Maybe once they've been burned by it a few times they'll shut up. See my sig for more.
It's my understanding that dateline uses 18-year olds that appear younger. It's still really shady, because in that case the person wouldn't even be breaking a law if he went through with it.
Play on alt.org/nethack (or for the rest of the month- nethack.devnull.net), where the save file is ONLY held on the server, removing all issue of trust.

I'd be one of the first in line to support a proposal to take all the profits and money that the Vatican (among others) has accumulated and direct it towards scientific research. An excellent point.
What the hell is the point of making it require yearly renewal? If it's a good law, it should be permanent; if it's a bad law it shouldn't be passed at all. In this case, making it require yearly renewal means universities and such can't depend on the journals remaining open.
I have Disgaea on the PS2, and I don't really care that much for the insane amount of grinding that goes into it. I want the FFT remake in large part due to the retranslation, but I'd definitely consider Jeanne D'arc if I got a PSP. The problem is really that it simply isn't worth it to me to get a PSP when there are so few other games on it I want.
Square put the FFT remake on the PSP. I want the FFT remake, but I'm not about to buy the PSP for just one game. It's the games, stupid- there's only really one "must buy" PSP game for me (and about 3 or 4 others I'd pick up if I already had a PSP) and that just doesn't cut it.
I have a feeling a teacher who's on the ball enough to assign Wikipedia article writing to his students will understand the environment surrounding the wiki and will take such things into account. What will suck is when the copycats who don't actually understand Wikipedia will give the same assignment without the understanding of how wiki works behind the scenes.

Offhand, I'd guess Zork. "You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike."
IIRC, that particular puzzle is somewhat random so keeping notes between games will actually screw you over there.

Global warming is real, the evidence is out there. It's a question of how much we're willing to cut back on CO2 and slow it down/stop it.

Not as bad as the "Mandatory Video Game Minecart Ride". (See: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3)

I suspect FPS games will become quite common on the Wii for obvious reasons over the next couple years.
And most of them will be absolute garbage pushed out solely to turn a buck.

So we'll mandate experiments on a few people to provide a better good for the rest of humanity? So much for freedom.
