My Life With Master: "As seminal to RPGs as Frankenstein was for literature"

The game 'little fears' is quite the same in many rewarding ways.

FBI interrogator: Torture doesn't work, breeds jihad

March 10, 2008 9:39am

Well someone has to get paid for talking the other side I guess and he has the credentials to make his voice get paid.

But its a major "well duh", and leads me to believe that jihad is something we think we want.

TSA endangers child's life by contaminating his feeding tube despite pleas

I can imagine they have insane blackwater like indemnification for these events.

Creationist dioramas at kids' science fair

US Customs TSA confiscating laptops

They don't care about lawyers or threats, they are hourly blokes that are threatened and sneered at all day and night.

Border police / customs have a lot of power.

They can easily go through your materials and ask for original copies or documentation for software installed or god forbid you have CDRs or an ipod with music on it.

Pissing them off is not a good idea.

A lot of the common bulk preservatives and ingredients for processed food are exclusively made now in China because of their ability to grind the price down cheaper and cheaper and export without quality restriction.

This issue (on npr a big back) would make a great additional bullet item or two perhaps.

Record industry practices revisionism about music recording

The quote of hers 'I suppose we can say' seems to give her a lot of wiggle room. When asked questions often you will make hypotheticals and keeping context is important. A lengthier and richer quote would have been nice.

Not that I am pro industry.

Vibrating Bluetooth bracelet helps you get the phone

I would love to have such a thing that just worked from a bt adapter and perl script. Most of my paging is done like this and its annoying. The phone aspect is not a winner for me.

Just some perl and a bt adapter.

Daily Show writer explains writers' strike -- if digital content isn't worth anything, how come Viacom is suing YouTube for $1 billion?

The iTunes store, Netflix, TiVo, Google/YouTube, Al Gore's NWI buy, BBC streaming ... so close.

"This is ridiculous. Even if I could take off, I'd never get past the tractor beam."

What we need is something to get that tractor beam out of commission.

US intelligence honcho channels Orwell, redefines privacy
