- Read the story - 75 Senators voted for this! Last I checked, there were NOT 75 Democrats in the Senate - some Republicans voted for this as well!!! Instead of your knee-jerk reaction of automatically blaming the other side, if I were you I would be asking which Senators voted for increasing ta …

- @figment - ever hear of parking lot security cameras? Many large stores have them, mainly for liability reasons. But if he was threatening the White House, there is no way to hide your IP addy behind a proxy server. Even (and perhaps especially) if that proxy is overseas. Google "Room 64 …
Physicists try to find how much heat Earth holds
Wed Mar 13, 2013
- @Ben - Agreed! Alan Boyle tends to be pretty good about the accuracy of his stories, but I've noticed inaccurate science claims in a LOT of the syndicated(?) stories from LiveScience and Space.Com (which I think are related, as I recall seeing stories from both sources written by the same author?), …
New type of bacteria reportedly found in buried Antarctic lake
Thu Mar 7, 2013
