"The US has threatened to withhold cooperation on terrorist intelligence if the bank data deal now in place is canceled..."
One would think that if combating terrorism was truly a US priority, the administration would continue to share terrorist intelligence regardless of what the EU does and instead threaten to withhold chicken wings, or iPhones, or Big Macs, or something else NOT security related.
Apple will probably win in the long run because, on the whole, they make their products enjoyable to use. It used to be enjoyable to shop at Amazon, but convenience was eclipsed by unwanted force-feeding. Still, I am enjoying the fight. As soon as Google gets seriously involved I imagine it will become the next big spectator sport.
Everyone: take a drink every time someone uses the word "monopoly" in this thread.
"On Jan. 7, it was reported that radioactive tritium was leaking from the Vernon reactor into groundwater; the source of the leak has not been found. The following week, it was revealed that Entergy officials had misled state regulators and lawmakers several times in 2008 and 2009 by saying Vermont Yankee did not have the type of underground pipes that could carry tritium."
I very pro-Nuke power... Well regulated, well maintained nuke power, that is. What I don't understand is why we have standards about acceptable contamination levels and then allow corporations to exceed them without severe recourse.
Not being able to find the leak after a month makes it sound like Entergy doesn't even know how their own plant works.
Actually, it would be a kind of dream come true for me: get paid to do something I've done before, much to the consternation of my friends and family. Trouble is I have a son, and I don't want his life dug into by over-aggressive internet hounds.
My advice to the bold: forget camping. Homeless shelters in NYC, San Fran, and Miami are chock fill of disappeared people.
You have excellent points. Unfortunately, when I'm cut off from my games I just go max impotent nerdrage. So, to save the lives of my family, I stay away from Steam.
Every now and again, I get this feeling that the masses don't understand that planets evolve
Once again, we see how the liberal agenda is spreading like cancer in this country. Biology wasn't enough for you so now you go after planetary science. I supposed the next thing you will start spouting is how Jupiter is descended from monkeys. You could not be more wrong, sir or madam!
The tru7h is that Jupiter was intelligently designed by associates of Slartibartfast. Unfortunately, the shrinkage of the red spot indicates Jupiter's warranty is about to expire. I strongly encourage relocation if you happen to live in the neighborhood.
Close but not entirely acurate. Let me fix that for you:
Comparing Bush to a chimp is considered fair game. Comparing Obama to one is considered unacceptable. One president is afforded better treatment and respect because of the hundreds of years people with dark skin were vilified as subhuman, tortured, murdered, and treated as furniture by people with light skin. This is called sensitivity. It is a civilizing concept and sometimes an imperfect approach. Regardless, sensitivity reduces societal friction.
Case in point: hardly anybody gets upset these days if you grouse about filthy pinched-face Visigoths in public.
No shit. I try to stay away from the fallacies of social Darwinism, but if there ever was a poster child for business Darwinism it would be Circuit City. A thread downstream here claimed that even the loss of a bad retailer is bad for the consumer. Fuck that, the world's average business IQ will go up a fraction of a point when those assholes are in the ground.
It's not that bad. In the absence of porn the internet constantly creates and destroys virtual porn. This is called the Cashmere Sweater effect and... oh damn I meant to post this to another story. nm

No, silly.
Bill Cosby eats babies to stay young.
Windows 7 and Dick Clark eat batteries to stay alive.
This US citizen agrees whole-heartedly.

Oh, and I forgot to add:
I wonder if Google and the NSA will release ManTracker(TM) at the same time?

Hold on lemme check Tree.app for the answer.
