Load of crap!
The Earth's gravity can only change with added or reduced mass. This article hints that it is the amount of gravity that has changed which isn't possible through this earthquake. What is possible is that the vector of gravity; (typically down twards the center of the earth) has been changed since dense matter has moved drastically.
On a side note, the earth tends to pick up 200 lbs every year due to meteorites. If there's any change in the ammount of gravity, that is what's doing it!
Hezbollah is a known terrorist organization. They're using Lebanon as a place to hide behind civilians. They're hold civilians against their will around thier equipment and missles and the like thinking that Israel won't attack them if civilians are in the way.
That's right out hostage taking, criminal activity, and terrorism in it's purest form. These guys are evil any way you look at it.
But the protestors want "no war"... I don't get it! Do they want Israel to stop fighting back? If they don't fight back they'll get completely destroyed. Those dirka dirkas have said many times that they want Israel wiped off the face of the earth. Maybe protestors hate jews too?
One of the few things the US Govmint has done right is the way they organized and control the net.
Of course, we all know the Internet was developed by the US Military right? It's freaking OURS. The rest of the world rather than thanking us, is demanding control.
LOL they want those headaches? I doubt it. More like so the socialist countries can censor the net to all of their subjects a la North Korea and China. Because freedoms like speech and press (and arms) is just too dangerous to the ruling classes.
And local, state, and federal governments pass laws to further restrict firearm selections, sales, and ownership, under the arguement of terrorism.
Thing is, the bad guys already have all the full auto AK47s, AK74s, heavy machine guns, rocket propelled grenades, missile launchers, artillery, and tanks that they can handle. I really doubt that they're going to follow any laws passed here. Actually, they probably feel safer knowning America is disarming itself. Maybe one day when guns are illegal, they'll invade and slaughter the infidels with little to no resistance.
I pay about $104 every month for cable internet and the cheapest basic TV (I wouldn't have it but with the net it was cheaper to bundle them)
So $104 for what? TV I rarely watch, and an internet connection that I'm lucky to get any download going faster than 150kb/s or any upload faster than 40kb/s. That's not good product or service. "Comcastic" indeed.
Then my SBC phone bill is anywhere between $20 and $120.
I'd gladly pay $85 for all three with a much faster connection. Sign me up!

Oh and I forgot, Hydrogen isn't a power source, it's a means to transport energy - Like a battery... Except it's a fuel in gas form. It's not like you can pump it out of the ground and fuel the world with it (like most of today's energy). With Hydrogen you have to consume energy to make the stuff.
So really what's the whole point? If you give up on oil and convert to Hydrogen... You still need energy to make the stuff. Where is that energy going to come from? The same Flower Power concepts that think that the world can still work with growing energy needs while political pressure is put on governments to prevent building new power plants. Brilliant!
MySpace is located in California's Bay Area, IIRC... San Jose or the like?
Well I can tell you the Power Company is PG&E, of which I work. I can tell you without any doubt that a "Power Surge" is on the extremely improbable to impossible area of chance. PG&E has some of, if not the best power quality of any utility. There's lots of protective equipment on every circuit and system to prevent a "power surge". Lots of stuff can go wrong, but a "Power Surge" just isn't happening.
When it comes to electricity people like to throw around terms like "power surge" and "rolling blackout" and they get misused far too often. This is one of those cases.
What about those darned LAWS OF PHYSICS? Aside from the fact that it Hydrogen bonds to everything, and it takes a serious about of energy to break those bonds to get enough hydrogen to do anything with it...
There's also the problem of storage. You just can't store it for very long, at least not at high pressures. Hydrogen is so small that it leaks out of any container you can put it it. It's a "technological hurdle" that cannot be overcome, because it's a problem on an atomic scale!
Smaller insightful companies that compete and disturb the ways of the big lumbering companies always "steal" from the giants. heh, that's what they say anyhow.
Most of the highly techie folk just need to be left alone to do their work. I know since I'm one of 'em. Multiple layers of management (that always make way more money then the guys doing the actual work) really just aren't needed.
Domestic Partnerships and other "unions" in EVERY STATE, already grant all the tax benefits and legal rights (like right to visit your spouse in the hospital) that marriage can. It might be more paperwork, but it's easier and less costly than marriage!
Thing is it just lacks the term "married"...
I hate hearing this same excuse over and over for gay marriage, when it doesn't hold any water. Get educated on some laws first, and make a worthwhile debate, rather than spewing the same dribble again.
I find it a bit surprising that the Government in China thinks it needs to get so much into the personal lives of it's people as to limit how much time a day a person plays video games.
Maybe playing video games is a good escape from the dreary life of working in a crapy factory with low wages and scrapping by, while living in an oppressive communist country...
Okay as a WWII, Vietnam, Gulfwar and modern reenactor... "VC cash" only means one thing to me! It's the brightly colored paper money those little guys in black PJs carry around with them...
What's VC mean, other than "Victor Charlie"?..."Virtual Cash"? but why say "cash" twice? that's redundandt and stupid. Like saying "VIN Number".
"Get a grip. And get rid of that huge gas guzzling 4x4 you use to haul your collection of shotguns around in."
Out of my cold dead hands!!!
Actually I'm not fond of shotguns. I prefer large caliber semi-automatic firearms... They really stir up emotions in those insane freedom-hating liberal sacks of shit.
Besides, my $8,000 4x4 can still drive over your $40,000 hybrid.
"US stops making the world a worse place to live in for all non-US citizens"
We are making other countries a worse place to live? HMMMM, Since when is the rest of the world the responcibility of the United States? Why can't other countries take care of themselves? Why do we have to solve everyone's problems? Why does France keep surrendering to Germany?
But here in California, when the DOT or a city installs "Traffic Controllers" is makes things MUCH WORSE. From installing Stop & Go lights on freeway onramps (Yes, on the on ramp!) to replacing stopsigns in low traffic areas in residential areas... All it seems to do is cause a back up of stacked cars for miles.
And best yet, they do it with tax dollars. $500,000 or so per installed intersection. for what? to increase delays? waste more fuel? piss people off? Insanity, I say!

Is this thing outdated or what? Myspace is still gaining popularity? I think not. It's been peaked out for quite a while now.
Myspace is so last year!
There is no Israeli-Lebanon Conflict!
There's a bunch of terrorists hiding out in Lebanon, using it as a place to attack Israel from. That's a BIG difference!
Why not blame people doing the killing?

Oh wait, I keep forgetting that EVERYTHING is Bush's fault!
