"This is, however, a really fantastically designed website." I disagree. At first glance, I thought this was another zombo.com. I'm guessing it's a text adventure, but the site spends more time bragging about its legacy, not explaining what

First of all I fail to see how taxing people sustains jobs. You said it, "When you make military cuts, you're not just removing tanks and guns. You're also sending a lot of people to the unemployment line." So, to fund the military, you h

This is not bad for everyone. Such blatant abuse of data capping rules is excellent ammunition for net neutrality advocates.

That is a good idea. I heard once that the younger generations of fighter pilots--those that grew up with flight simulator video games--made better pilots than when their elder counterparts were starting out. It would truly be awesome if ki

PR firms don't plant news stories about botnets; actually using botnets to take down high-profile targets does. In that case, the publicity could translate into dollars.

Alright then. I'll keep an eye on you guys. I like the payment system you've got set up; the service I currently use takes a rather large cut, and I need all the cash I can get right now.
