An alternate scenario where the two bombers are not total retards and actually manage to blow some shit up seems pretty plausible. On the other hand, there's absolutely no way that an Air Force plane would be attempting a landing with an armed nuke on board. So no, not quite the same thing.
I thought it had to do with tracking-down and killing dictators like Nero, Napoleon, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Mussolini, Pol Pot, Saddam, and so on - in order to restore liberty.
So of the dictators you listed, how many were tracked down and killed by their own armed populace?
Mussolini was killed by an armed Italian militia, so I guess he'd qualify. Of course, the militia would have never gotten their hands on him if he wasn't fleeing from the US Army.
I had to read that part a couple times to make sure it was right. Several years? What are these guys smoking? They actually expect people to wait that long?
Jesse Ventura. I get the impression that his honesty isn't really a moral principle, he just really doesn't care what people think of him, so he can't be bothered to deceive them.
Some politicians are honest, some are liars, some are incompetent, some are just fucking nuts. If you say "who cares, they're all crooks" it just means that you're too damn lazy to do the research.
This is a problem with all journalism. Most reporters simply can't be bothered to check if someone is telling the truth or not, so they try to give the appearance of objectivity by digging up some opposing viewpoint. It gets particularly bad when they're writing on subjects that they have no clue about (i.e. most science-related articles).
What is adobe's plan to live in a world after HTML5 takes over?
Adobe doesn't make money from people running Flash applets. They make money from selling content-creation software. They'll adapt just fine.
What will happen to Flash?
Good question. My guess is that it'll lose market share, but won't disappear completely. There's a lot of inertia behind it, and it can do things that can't be done with HTML/JS (yet).
Well, let's see... England hasn't been conquered since the 12th century. I can't remember the last time Russia got conquered. Japan had a pretty good run, too - they finally got conquered in 1945, but it took 2 nukes and most of the armed forces of the US and Australia. Do you suppose that there just might be other factors at work here besides guns?
Stay sane and historical, brother. Don't let no uppity Kenyan law professor tell you what to do.
they aren't going to drug / beat every single person coming onto an airplane
If you fly US Airways, there's a $25 service charge if you want to get beaten and drugged before boarding. I remember when that shit used to be included in the base ticket price.
The Marcellus Shale Formation is a geological feature. It's not in any position to be buying politicians. The companies extracting gas from the shale - that's a different story.

If you have older staff, add UU.

Keep in mind that this was a test of a voting system, it never actually made it into official use.
Heat makes things hot. Most kids figure this out by the time they're old enough to be using laptops.

When officials asked for the Welsh translation of a road sign, they thought the reply was what they needed.
Unfortunately, the e-mail response to Swansea council said in Welsh: "I am not in the office at the moment. Send any work to be translated".
So that was what went up under the English version which barred lorries from a road near a supermarket.
Jesse is also a much better actor than Schwarzenegger. He should have gotten the lead role in "Predator".

I'm happy for the enterprising amateurs. I'm not happy for the guy that stuck a blatantly false headline on this.

On the other hand, this man's protest achieved real and lasting results.
Why do people say "the Ukraine" and "the Netherlands"? You don't say "the Russia" or "the Spain".
Twitter and Walmart.
You heard it here first.

"Externality". Look it up.
If you know the coordinates of the window, then you can make a pretty good guess as to the location of the URL bar.

Steve Jobs doesn't need chairs, he has throwing stars, and he's skilled in the deadly art of Dim Mac. Unless you're talking about some other Steve...

Thanks for the info. I've turned it off, and Google is now usable again.

Bad analogies are like ex-wives.
Another thing that's missing: security.
