Link So there's a bit of a panic in New York, because in a couple of months, many of the names on the state's sex offender list will vanish. This is because Megan's Law, which mandated that sex offenders register with police, only says that the "most dangerous" sex offenders s

Link For as long as anyone can remember, there has been a debate over why, at every level other than professional baseball, aluminum bats are used much more frequently than wood. The debate has reached the government level in Montana, where the parents of a player killed by a ball coming off an

Oh, come now. We're not really asking for recognition for being nice, are we? It's almost as if you being nice were some grand, special accomplishment.

But of course they are doing it to try to figure out what the allure is. Yeah, like that one dude was only surfing child porn in order to report it. What a humanitarian that guy was. <TD class="mb-Bod

The argument I can see would be that using company time to look at porn is no more or less wrong than using company time to, say, browse non-work-related blogs. Companies may block their employees from accessing popular non-work-related websites, but I haven't heard of anybody being fired for bidding on eBay when they should have

Link The supreme court in Norway has decided in favor of two employees of a company who were fired for looking at porn while at work. That is, they were at work. They looked at porn. They were fired. They sued the company. They won. Unless they work for a porn studio, I'm inclin

Link Let's say you're a legislator. Let's say you're in the State House. Let's say on a particular day, you get two bills, one about cockfighting, and the other about domestic violence. Let's say you vote to make cockfighting a felony and table the domestic violence bill, effectively k

Well, you wont find a large burning rock. Comets are frozen balls of dirty ice. My mistake. My point stands though, albeit with a little modification. So then we spent 311 million dollars to see whats inside a frozen ball of dirty ice. I'll save them the trouble. Water.
