First, I hate it when people point out spelling errors
Second, I am about to. Sometimes they are so much fun, they have to be commented on.

When I was a kid, the dentist's drill was going to be replaced by git and ultrasound. Then it was going to be a laser... Sorta like flying cars or fiber-to-the-curb.
I'm sorry your city leaders are such luddites, my city has fiber-to-the-curb.
Just read your reference. Wow, Wow, Wow. It is amazing to see how fast the wheel turns. A classic example of 'The Party out of Power' (TPOOP) raging against all that 'The Party in Power' (TPIP) does and says. And vice versa. And we as loyal subjects to the great political parties fall right in line and 100% support the position of our chosen side. It doesn't matter that at one time our leaders supported a particular cause. Right now they say it's wrong, and by damn we're behind them. And the other side is evil. Pure evil incarnate. Even though they now are supporting the postion that we supported an administration ago.
Don't read any party affiliation into this message. I have none, and none was intended. Career polititians are the root of our problems, from either side of the aisle. Just wait another election or two, we'll all be seeing red over the very things we think are vital to our survival now.
As 'The Who' said:
'The party on the left, is now the party on the right'
Well, I'm not arguing politics, just pointing out logical fallacy. And rather than defend your statements, which I assume you believe in, you jumped straight to a completely different point. Typical. Just because you hate someone, that doesn't mean that all arguments against them are true. Calm the anger, think more clearly. All political parties are corrupt. Both sides (don't know how this got to a two-sided argument, seems like there's lots of room in between) have been plagued by problems and scandal when they are the ones making the rules. Look back 50 years, the pattern is obvious. Maybe I'm a little fatalistic here, but I don't think political rant on/. will cause the politicians to realize how money/power hungry they are. The original intent was for a politician to come from the common people, serve a term or two, and then go back to his life. I think we'd have a much better government if we could follow that pattern. Career politicians are a huge part of the problem, be they Bill Frist, George Bush, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, whoever.
First the elections in 2000, and now aiding and abetting the dismantling of the right to free speech.
Way to go, GW - you really packed the court with "objective" jurists - as long as they rule to keep restricting freedoms.
So you're saying that GW packed the court so he could win the 2000 elections.
Wow, if he had that kind of power already, why did he want to be president?
Also, as has been mentioned earlier, just because someone is a journalist doesn't make them immune to criminal investigation. If this was truly a fishing expedition then I hope the parties responsible are reprimanded. But GW doesn't have any direct connection to the coroner's office, the newspaper, the state attorney generals office, or the state supreme court.
Incredible how fogged your head is. Try to calm your hatred.
This is showing up so often now (I've noticed it twice) that it's time to officially define its usage as: YONH.
Not to be confused with a somewhat similarly spelled Intel processor designation.
I think the problem with stories like this is that broad generalizations on health are made using one narrow area of research. In this case it is discovered that 4+ cups a day may cause heart disease. Wait! Only if you have a certain gene that expresses itself. Or maybe it's because the gene causes a stressful life and it has nothing to do with coffee.
Perhaps in 20 years 1 cup a day will cause colon cancer. Maybe it will help you live 20 years longer. We are far too willing to jump to holistic health decisions based on a single narrow study.
I would hope that no one would make drastic life decisions (not that drinking/not drinking coffee should be that drastic) based on a single study.
Cut back on fast food, drink more water, eat more fruits and vegetables. My mom was trying to tell me that 20 years ago. You feel better and your body can better handle the impurities that you put in it. Then you don't have to focus so much on the small stuff.
Novell has declared it's cash cow dead (Netware) long before the new cash cow (Linux) has replaced it. Now Novell has never explicitly said Netware is dead, just that the direction it will be taking is Linux. That's a lesson it learned from WordPerfect. Announce the end of the only product making money long before the new product has replaced the revenue. Ah well, at least Novell was able to use something from one of the many companies it bought. Too bad it was rotten business sense.
There was a time when the only access to the internet for most people was a paid dial-up service where everything was nice and controlled. AOL made a stinking lot of money during the golden age. I think they want to enforce a new revenue stream. Sure, right now the old services are still free, but what happens when the bugs are worked out of the new system?
You certainly have to respect the "My server, my rules" attitude, but with all the free email clients and the improved spam filtering, I think that AOL will finally drive the rest of their user away.
I think for every valid piece of evidence in this case, his lawyers should have to wade through at least 200 or 300 viagra/penis enlargment/business offer/sex ads. That would be better than the jail time he would eventually serve.
What I don't understand is how it still holds liquid after the crash. Are we assuming it lands upright?
From reading the article, or at least the secondary article listed in the comments, I don't think there is liquid in the cup to start with. They are required to drop it on it's side. The advantage to this cup is that it is heavier (or more accurately, as one poster put it, denser) at the bottom. This way the cup 'rights' itself on the way down. The cup will, however, still hold liquid when it is filled after the drop.
A democracy cannot accept a single error in the voting process.
If you are suggesting that we cannot accept any errors in the voting process then we better go back a couple hundred years and start again. There is near zero probability that any election we've had is error free. It is much too big a process with too many people involved. The key is to make sure that the errors are small enough to keep from affecting the entire election.
The issue (aside from bought politians) is that each state has the right to approve or disapprove of gambling within their own borders. I agree that gambling online, or any other online activity, cannot be controlled - this issue just shows the problem with agreeing to WTO policies. How can an international law be adopted for an entire country when, at least in the US, the individual states have (or are supposed to have) autonomy??

Maybe you do.

then it's much buggier and less useful than anticipated. And that says a lot!

Or the pronunciation of a new age musical artist that looks frighteningly like Doug Henning.

Approximately 60% of state residents are adherents of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
But I'll bet that 50% of the adherents play GTA. Or Halo. Or Splinter Cell. Or...

Because Bigfoot understands the laws of thermodynamics. He wouldn't be caught dead (or terribly out of focus) near this story.

We can also get a change in behavior by scrambling the frontal lobe with a knitting needle. But I'm not going to try it.
