"First woman to get punched in the face at the south pole."
Everest is already dirty and overrun by extreme tourists with too much time and money. Naturally the south pole couldn't be far behind. She should try peddling across the ocean.
Since no one is going to RTFM, you should know this is the same judge who declared National Security Letters unconstitutional back in March and said the FBI had to stop using them altogether. That decision has, of course, been appealed by the Justice Department and the case is ongoing.
[Judge] Illston, who is stepping down from her post in July, said another reason for her decision is her desire not to interfere while the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is reviewing the constitutionality of NSLs in an unrelated case that she also oversaw.
Say I wanted to euthanize myself when I'm an old man and go out as a shooting star. Is that even remotely possible with a balloon? Obviously a lot of the normal safety issues could be disregarded.
While I have serious concerns about the combination of profit-seeking and nuclear power, as well, recall that the Soviet "Ministry of Medium Machine Building," responsible for the USSR's nuclear facilities including Chernobyl, was not exactly a capitalist enterprise.
Thanks for the response, but if you'd glanced for a moment at the article to which I linked, you could've save yourself the misplaced effort at internet pedantry:
But the Times wasn't on WikiLeaks' list of original recipients. The newspaper got its hands on the trove of about 250,000 cables thanks to the Guardian newspaper of Great Britain, which quietly passed the Times the raw material that it had received as one of five news organizations favored by WikiLeaks.
Seems like Google changed something for the worse in the last 6-12 months or so. My searches now seem to produce an increasing number of results that don't actually include the terms I specified. Presumably it's to drive a BS metric that shows Google yields more hits for a given search than their competitors. It's extremely frustrating--This second-guessing of the user's query was one of the biggest reasons I stopped using AltaVista, Yahoo, or whatever the hell other engines used to be out there before Google came to dominate. Anybody else seeing this?

Is this a troll? It misunderstands the point so badly it's hilarious.
With all due respect, that's pure fantasy. The press has always been just as loaded and agenda-driven as it is today.

No comeback because it's bullshit. At least 16 nuclear/radiation incidents have resulted in deaths. See previous comment.
There has been two truly serious (someone gets hurt) accidents in the 60-year history of nuclear power: Chernobyl and Fukushima.
Um, no: Nuclear and radiation accidents

Just plain wrong: WikiLeaks spurned New York Times, but Guardian leaked State Department cables.
The rest of your comment defending that propaganda rag is pretty hilarious.
why don't we put you in charge

Colin Powell, the Albert Speer of the 21st century.
This story makes me so mad that I want to throw the big Newspeak Dictionary at the image of Emmanual Ahmadinejad during today's Two Minutes Hate.
