Apparently, some combination of FF, Linux, and mouth breathing makes it not work on my laptop.
Don't waste hours seeking a solution for one user, though. Instead, would you please just call me up and read the headlines to me as they come in? Thanks.

I can't find the darned thing even with Adblock Plus disabled. Or is this some sort of new experimental video-tweet (and proof that BB has an older readership than I ever imagined)?

My vote is for "taxi."
They didn't censor it for offensiveness, they censored it because that's a really dumb thing for a scientist to say.

Wall retaliates against vandal
June 10, 2008 11:45am
@48: I couldn't agree more. When I read "vandal" I assumed there'd be some harmless spray-painting involved, not actual destruction. Poor wall.
