I see you're stress testing the commenting system. You could also throw in a few posts on abortion, Obama, and racism too.

Why do you think having a crossbow is OK but not a gun? Because guns go "boom"?

Huh? I never heard anybody claim we are not animals.

Totally agree...it's trying too hard. One column is simple and easy to read, having multiple columns makes for irritating zig-zag scanning left to right to left to right.

Don't want to read too much of this article in case I want to read the book. But I think the award to bleakness has to go to The Road, Cormac McCarthy.

The facebook app for WP7 is a disaster Zuck should be making facebook employees use that. Luckily, like you, I always use the People and Me tiles to manage that stuff. It works far better for basic tasks, but you do miss some functionality.

Lot's of irony that in the US people are now lounging too long at establishments. As an American in Europe I can't stand the service. When I sit down at my table, I want somebody to take my drink order within a few minutes. I also want them to check in on me every 10 minutes or so, and when I'm done with my damn meal,…

The point of the article, as somebody else pointed out, is that the network itself doesn't care what types of data traffic flow through, they just move bits. Why would there be such gargantuan cost difference between bits that are packaged differently? SMS consumes a very small portion of the network operators…

I'm just not sure why we let people like that live in our society. Those organs could be used for far better and more productive uses.

Still deciding and I'm actively testing them all - I have Apple TV, Xbox, iPads, Amazon Prime, Netflix, Zune, and a cable subscription. Historically I've used Zune, but there's no Zune software on anything except Xbox which leaves me SOL for mobile devices. I'm liking Vudu for movies since it has a very decent…

Without reading the book, I think it's hard to pass judgement precisely because almost everybody is labelled a "racist" these days. It's the new Godwin's Law.

Iomega Hipzip mp3 player. Used the "click" drives which were basically mini zip disks. I got it as a gift by a well meaning person, but man that thing was terrible. With the 40MB disks you couldn't always fit a whole CD on it, and could only store about 10 songs. I only had two disks before the thing crapped out after…

Maybe so, who knows. IMO the abortion debate should really be about defining when a human life begins and have nothing to do with how conception occurred. When life begins, then that life deserves all protection under the law. It seems inconsistent to be ok with abortion in certain circumstances like rape but not in…

You are correct in that courts aren't always right (that's truly awful about your friend), but many (most?) times they are. In most countries people are innocent until proven otherwise.

Of course not all date rape is "grey area", but there are certainly cases/incidents where a court has found sex to be consensual.

If I give him the benefit of the doubt, I think he's trying to distinguish between violent attacks by unknown assailants, and the sometimes grey area incidents of date rape. Really though, the entire thing is so ridiculous he should be shamed out of politics forever. Even if somebody believes that, a politician should…

Technically, the full size van category is not gone but lets face it the platforms are ancient. I'd like to see a comeback of the full size van category with a new econoline. Here's to hoping we get some nice non-cargo favors of the upcoming ford transit.

In the spirit of our great and enlightened democracy, I'm going to go with death by Obamacare or Romney giving me cancer, depending on whose side I'm leaning that day.

I'd like to see somebody build a gargantuan statue of Zeus, Odin, Washington, or some other god. I like to see massive projects like the Crazy Horse memorial, but there's too few of them.

Hooo-weeee, REEAWR! Are Molly and Leslie's cycle sync'd?
