I'd say that after about 25 years of portable music players going back to the Sony Walkman, adults should have a pretty good idea of the sound pressure capabilities of tiny earphones driven by batteries.
Clearly the Iranian theocrats are even less technologically informed than Alaskan senators. I would think that information passed using highly-compressible, low bandwidth text would be much more of a subversive threat than bloated "Punch the monkey" flash ads and YouTube videos of sleepy kittens.
Because W clearly must be following in his grandfather's footsteps? I don't follow your logic.
FWIW, I'm don't have any respect for either Bush to respect their patrician clannish "christian names" difference.
It has nothing to do with respect ("clannish"?) and everything to do with simple semantics. If Hillary Clinton were elected president, would I start calling Bill the First Lady because I don't respect him? Well, maybe I would!
Thanks to all those who are "offended" by ignorant, belligerent, and on rare occasions insightful opinions, we have the PC phrase "hate speech." This phrase is a wonderful thing, being so flexible that it can be applied almost without limitation. Today it's used against people who are pro-life, against racial and gender quotas, practice or identify their faith publicly, or oppose illegal immigration. Today, it will also be used to justify modding down this post. Tomorrow, it will be used against you to place you in prison.
Additionally, who said the the radiation level after using a microwave on your food is safe? Many people, I for one, refuse to eat anything that came out of a microwave. Not only because of the radiation but also because it modifies food on a molecular level, potentially stripping it of the nutrients humans need to be healthy.
I hate to tell you, but cooking ANYTHING removes some nutrients. Steaming is probably the least harmful, and microwave cooking comes closest to steaming your food since you are boiling the water from the inside. Unless you are eating all your food raw, you're "losing nutrients."
We already have those companies; and thanks to their recklessly draconian security measures, they are still getting 0wn3d because either someone fell prey to a social engineer or holes were opened for a VIP.
Yahoo's filter is rather stupid in some ways. It spam flags 100% of all emails which do not have the recipient's email address in the "From"; which means that if you forward your email there from another account 100% of it will be tossed in alongside the v14gr4. Oh yeah, and if you set up a filter to ignore these messages or move them directly to the inbox, it doesn't work.
Except I don't think that's what was suggested in the article summary. He says, "It seems pornographers pushing adware is acceptable only as long as they aren't the ones getting burnt." In other words, pornographers who saw nothing wrong with paying malware merchants to get their sites to pop up in people's browsers and such, are suddenly enraged when someone else steals their sales just like they've been stealing users' time and CPU.
No, it would be as if someone reported, "Bank of America Loses Records of Millions of Customers," because that's what happened. The Bank of America headquarters building wouldn't have to literally lift itself off the ground and sail down the city streets on a pirate expedition, tossing all its customer records out the window, to make this headline accurate. YouTube has a mechanism in place whereby users can mark a file as "objectionable". Because of a possible flaw in this system, a file was allowed to be marked inappropriately for a nonzero length of time. It is reasonable to assume that YouTube is responsible for their own code.
I think the fact that Air America keeps bobbing under the waves like a bad swimmer supports the theory that talk radio simply isn't that interested in the leftist world view.
Attempts to hand-wave this away as "silly ancients couldn't make an accurate calendar" or "it was just a ceremonial calendar" are clearly wrong. With a 5 day variance like that the calender would become 180 degrees out of phase in only 36 years-- within one person's lifetime-- so obviously someone would've noticed and adjusted it and not just left it alone for 1000+ years.
Your argument is based on a straw man. Historians know these 360 day calendars were used because-- get ready for it-- they fit the lunar cycle. Ancients knew this, and that is why cultures made adjustments such as adding weeks or months at various intervals.
Not that global warming would be a good thing, but the converse is also a problem. We have these large regions called the arctic and antarctic where human beings cannot survive without using technology to warm themselves. So obviously, if the planet's temperature fell we would have the same problem with regions on the edge of "habitability".

What's your point?
The sheep should, but they're too busy being sheep and lack the conviction to take action if it was required. You simply don't get it.

You reap what you sow.
"Planned Parenthood" was founded by Margaret Sanger, a eugenicist, and was part of that 20th century eugenics movement.
Remember that next time you try to politicize good and evil.
By the way: the President is not "George Bush, Jr." He is George Walker Bush. His father is George Herbert Walker Bush.We already have those companies; and thanks to their recklessly draconian security measures, they are still getting 0wn3d because either someone fell prey to a social engineer or holes were opened for a VIP.
Of course, now most pay phones don't accept calls so the effort was wasted.

Don't blink.
I hate when Job leaves the toilet seat up!!!

What is a "political lie"? Is that a truth that you find distasteful?

You forgot to tell him to comb his hair.
I hear Jenna Elfman really likes PB & J sandwiches.
I was once exposed to Francium, but it surrendered before I could do anything about it.
