I've had the same two solar-spectrum bulbs in two of my room lights for two years and counting.
Rupert, maybe. But his son James here is only in his mid 30s. Like father, like son. We will be cursed with a Murdoch for some time... We can only hope that Jimmy here has only daughters and they go Paris Hilton and becomes a useless heiress. I'd rather have a blonde bimbo than a malignant media mogul.

Don't make the car computer have a wi-fi antenna.
Groundbreaking, isn't it?
Why do we have to show and you don't? Let's see yours.
Your propensity for foul language casts doubt on your claims that you are a "rational person".
Sez the AC.
No, he said "So maybe you should quit your partisan whining and actually DO something about Net Neutrality".

Simply put, you can't sell FUD with "only 10%".

He's old, so he should die soon.

Clean coal is a myth.
I heard that he killed his boss and misused something rather important for selfish reasons.... Oh wait... VIVEK, not Vivec.
"Sony is not ripping off Nintendo", "Microsoft will not meet its goal" Where have I heard talk like that before? Oh yeah... Baghdad Bob.
