while i will agree that the post you replied to is snarky, there are throngs of people who will risk life and limb to get into the US (and Canada-i assume into the UK also). how many people are trying to get into China to better their lives? or India-undeniably the largest democracy in the world?
as to your claims of these alleged none existent virtues- what is imagined? could you elaborate on these fairy tales of freedom? the true beauty of the United States is that you don't know what you can get away with til you try.
the point is that global warming is not new. it's cyclical. life goes on and that i was agreeing with the post i replied to, while adding further info.
absolutely! and until we are out there - all our theories and extrapolations are only "educated guesses" as you said. who really knows how wrong we could be. that is what really fascinates me.
whoosh yourself- as per the above article "researchers showed how they were able to identify people who were on public social networks such as Twitter".
so the first step on concealing your identity is to not use the public social networks.

Hi,
We're writing to let you know about the upcoming launch of interest-based advertising, which will require you to review and make any necessary changes to your site's privacy policies. You'll also see some new options on your Account Settings page.
Interest-based advertising will allow advertisers to show ads based on a user's previous interactions with them, such as visits to advertiser website and also to reach users based on their interests (e.g. "sports enthusiast"). To develop interest categories, we will recognize the types of web pages users visit throughout the Google content network. As an example, if they visit a number of sports pages, we will add them to the "sports enthusiast" interest category. To learn more about your associated account settings, please visit the AdSense Help Center at http://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/topic.py?topic=20310.
As a result of this announcement, your privacy policy will now need to reflect the use of interest-based advertising. Please review the information at https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=100557 to ensure that your site's privacy policies are up-to-date, and make any necessary changes by April 8, 2009. Because publisher sites and laws vary across countries, we're unfortunately unable to suggest specific privacy policy language.
For more information about interest-based advertising, you can also visit the Inside AdSense Blog at http://adsense.blogspot.com/2009/03/driving-monetization-with-ads-that.html.
We appreciate your participation and look forward to this upcoming enhancement.

The problem isn't whether or not there is bias it's whether or not the reader knows the bias and filters appropriately.
Awareness...
...no longer just a philosophical or scientific dialogue.
but of course i am biased...
i agree.
i always thought that the RIAA was kinda sleazy going after college kids and other poor people.
if this is TPB's endgame, it is a pretty slick move.
kinda figured...that's why i asked for a link.
my kittens and ponies porno collection has become stale.
please post link to - Ponies_n_kittens_playing.jpg
thanks in advance.
...if all that they could prove was that you downloaded the .torrent, it would be Facebook that is in trouble.
that is a really good point. would facebook be culpable if users utilize this method?
well, when you are at the bottom anyplace is better;-)
Does anyone know how to patch reality?
DRUGS
lots and lots of delicious mind-bending drugs!
how about ETHICS?

the true beauty of the United States is that you don't know what you can get away with til you try.
hilarious!
PS-i burned myself when the cigarette fell into my lap from laughing!
the point is that global warming is not new. it's cyclical. life goes on and that i was agreeing with the post i replied to, while adding further info.
your point is...?
lets go back millions of years.
alaska's north slope was at time 300 miles from the north pole and the climate was tropical: http://www.blm.gov/ak/st/en/prog/culture/dinosaurs.html

national geographic had a great special on this topic too.
that was one of my first thoughts too...
SPACE BUDS!
absolutely!
and until we are out there - all our theories and extrapolations are only "educated guesses" as you said.
who really knows how wrong we could be. that is what really fascinates me.
thanks for my first laugh of the day!
a very duh thing indeed. from the linked article: "In poor economy, more IT pros could turn to e-crime" (emphasis mine).
you could say that about anybody or any profession during hard times.
whoosh yourself- as per the above article "researchers showed how they were able to identify people who were on public social networks such as Twitter".
so the first step on concealing your identity is to not use the public social networks.
how 'bout not using twitter, myspace, facebook, etc??
don't you use those services to be noticed?

i knew someone else would see the funny!
"...if I shot someone to death it's not my fault for shooting them, but theirs instead because of technical limitations of their body."
that made me spit coffee at the monitor...
only johnnie cochran could pull off that defense.
