There still is a gorilla sancuary in the Blue Ridge Mountains. It was my first thought when I saw pictures of something that looks like a decaying gorilla reported to be found in north Georgia.

Now if only 3 out of 4 of the episodes aired in the U.S. hadn't been so bad. (My candidate for the pick of the litter is "A Clean Escape".)

One of the unaired ones is based on a Sheckley story. I think I'll go reread some Sheckley instead.

The comparison is between Atom + a 945GC chipset vs. Nano + a CN896 chipset. The 945GC chipset is more power-hungry than the Atom itself.

I'd be interested in seeing another comparison with an Atom + US15 chipset.

My laptop boots straight into Windows, and that instance of Windows looks boring. No encryption apps in sight.

If I boot with my USB key, I'm prompted for a passphrase that unlocks the encrypted partitions, and it boots into Linux, which is what I actually use.

Xodarap @ 79 NO philosopher would agree with you that we can't know anything.

Sure they would. But what do they know?

Lizardman @ 25 public remarks about atheists by former presidents (such as Bush senior - google 'bush atheists') who denied atheists could be patriots or even citizens.

I have googled it.. Sherman (the same dude Davis was ranting at) asserts that Bush said this at a press conference that Sherman attended. It looks like no other attendee has ever verified that this occurred, and that no one claims to have a recording of the event. Sherman insists that responses on the subject from the White House counsel at the time confirm that the statement was made as given, when the responses clearly don't confirm or deny it.

The evidence on this one seems shaky enough to me that I'll stick to being offended by other, more easily verified, things -- it's not like there's a shortage.

the way it carries out the satire is disrespectful to the point of being unproductive - it doesn't invite a discussion, it points a finger.

Got any examples of the productivity of respectful satire that invites a discussion but is careful to never point a finger?

FSM and pastasfarianism are a satirical gesture whose targets are religion and religious credulity. It has nothing to do with, "[representing] the discourse between people of all different beliefs...", commendable though that may be.

Another of the FSM's targets is religious hypocrisy. I took all of that language to be a clear satire of the pretense that an explicit religious display is anything other than an explicit religious display. Pastafarianism can't play the "Pastafarian values defined our nation and we're just recognizing the value of Pastafarianism's historic contributions" card, so they're playing the "open a discourse" card, instead.

Aquaman is a dick.

2004: Alan Greenspan tells us how we're wasting money with fixed-rate mortgages and how "American consumers might benefit if lenders provided greater mortgage product alternatives to the traditional fixed-rate mortgage."

And now Americans have alternatives to traditional houses.
