Hey now, my city isn't a small town. Ames has a population of 50,000, which at least qualifies it as a small city.

Yes, not to nitpick, but it is not comic sans. In fact, it's much more attractive than comic sans. The two things that are most apparent are in the o and the e. The o in comic sans is assymetrical in that it is a bit more round on the left side and the center stroke in the e is tilted upward to the right. I'm sure there's someone who knows the terminology better than myself, as I'm just a type fan, not a professional.

This is disappointing, as a U2 fan. I'm glad it's the manager at least, instead of an actual member of the band.

When are some of the wealthiest people on the planet going to realize that trying to make us pity them is never going to work? If they want to argue against file-sharing, they need better arguments.

Good thing they didn't play Wham!'s "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go." That flame would have burst into an unstoppable fire dance.

I feel like rolling my eyes as hard as I've ever done it before.

Greenpeace does fantastic work and often times does it better than anyone else. I don't think the issue of "fairness" matters at all here. Yes, they focus on companies that will make a big public splash, but they're hardly ignoring the others and it's certainly not an issue of corruption with Greenpeace. By bringing the most publicity to the issue, by focusing limited resources on large companies, it's more likely that the industry will finally either regulate itself or be regulated by governments.

As far as being "anti-science," I think the issue here is that my fellow Americans are used to a government that does nothing until there is a crisis. Greenpeace, as well as the EU, think that these issues should be regulated with a precautionary approach. The way we run things now, many voters and politicians in this country wouldn't hit the brakes until the science shows we've already driven off the cliff.

This is the show where I first heard about BeOS when I was much younger, and thought I saw the future of computing. Also, that female voice sounds like one of the hosts on NPR. Perhaps Liane Hansen or Nina Totenberg.
