Oh yeah, we'd all be swimming in caviar if we just had one less political party.
The responsibility for the failure spans parties, administrations and politics (that is, there were big contributors that were not particularly political in nature). I would say that it is most traceable to the complete failure to regulate exotic derivatives products while allowing the companies dealing in them to operate under the veil of government supervision. Then, in that environment, the customers of those companies failed to operate in a pragmatic manner (they trusted that the government was in some way protecting them, which has proven to be incredibly foolish).
It first showed up in the housing market because much of the activity there was the most completely idiotic; there are half a dozen factors that contributed to that activity, and again, they span parties, administrations and politics..
When I go to the doctor, I am terrified that he will be someone who does not try to avoid mystical thinking, or that he will be otherwise incompetent. I damn well try to understand what he tells me.
The issue isn't only that users are expected to say "My interior...", it is also that users expect "me hurt" to be enough information, why should they even know where their chest is.
I was curious what exactly a chigger was (they are supposed to range to Michigan, I imagine the harsher winter here keeps a lid on the population, making it possible for me to wear shorts in the woods for hundreds of hours over the last several years without dealing with them); the reading I did suggests that juveniles bite and feed, and then proceed to drop off before laying eggs, so you don't need to worry about them laying eggs on you, just about the irritation from the bites.
Well, what if that vaccine is 50 times harder to develop, or is less effective?
I don't see where the poison blood stuff is even coming from, the summary writer is reading the article differently than I am or maybe the link was switched out. It isn't a terrible inference to make from the posted article, but there are lots of other things that could be done (and it sounds pretty far out on the edge of vaccine research, not like something that is being 'developed for use').
I tend to approach this question from the "as long as those trillions of factors are mostly things that happened to me (as opposed to, say, programming from a computer on Mars), who cares?" point of view.
I suppose this might not be sufficient if waking up in the morning was not otherwise interesting, but I wake up in the morning curious to find out what is going to happen next, untroubled by the thought that I might be the mere sum of my nearly 30 years of experience (and probably some genetics and stuff, and the uncountable chain of events that is connected to my birth).
Instead of rss, it leads to a pdf with embedded javascript (which I haven't executed, so I can't really say if it is an attack).
Looking at the various components of your page, I would suspect the obfuscated javascript at the bottom of niftycube.js is responsible, the file is here:
Planning for most worldwide disaster events is sort of a binary thing. Either you can keep going when the fuel runs out, or you can't. If fuel doesn't dry up, a weeks worth of food will probably make things more comfortable, but that should be about enough, and a week without calories is something most people will be able to survive, so it isn't hugely imperative.
I haven't yet reached the point where I think it is worthwhile being able to keep going when the fuel runs out, but it crosses my mind now and then (a small scale, wood fired, steam power plant would be nicely independent and also be sort of cool just to mess around with).

Oppression by democracy is just as shitty as oppression by dictatorship.
It's probably even worse, as the majority in a democracy is probably a bigger group of shitheads than those who have power in the dictatorship.
My brother told me that babies shit and eat (there may be an issue with that order, I was a bit unclear there).
I feel fully prepared to be a parent.
I read your post and loved how your sig riffs on it.

Fair and balanced?

Ever hear the one about the 'apple' not falling far from the 'tree'?
Cory Doctorow is not the founding editor of Boing Boing. Mark Frauenfelder is. Wikipedia gives a decent rundown:

Don't play against jackasses. Makes public servers a bit harder to deal with, but it is an easy solution otherwise.

Many invasive plants are close enough to pests, even if just by eventual ubiquity.

You'll just love bot flies.
I'll leave you the joy of looking it up for yourself.

You got the joke!
We are all excited for you.
Don't worry, (the current popular variety of) bananas and arabica are both probably doomed anyway. They were also both introduced to South America.
I've got a secret.
Yeah, right up until you get thrown in jail.

Do you have a U.S. government that I can borrow for awhile?
Yeah, I thought your meaning was clear.
The obvious Google search (gumblar.cn) leads to a page with lots of info:

There is the potential for some bloody good irony going on here.
I must say, you are doing very well with your letters.
