    Why The World Needs Wikileaks

    Here's a snippet that I posted in another thread. It's seem more appropriate here. Maybe my problem is that I don't get all giddy with glee whenever the American government does something bad and we can nail 'em on it in fine embarrassing and humiliating fashion so that we as a country and...

    WikiLeaks expose shows US complicity in Honduran coup

    OK, here's the deal, and the reason for my first initial paragraph... I see the thread subject of... WikiLeaks expose shows US complicity in Honduran coup I expect to open the post and read something that says exactly that, that something that WikiLeaks has exposed will show US complicity in...

    Wikileaks rides again

    Correct. :D Yes it is. Just because a few people believe the world is flat doesn't mean it's flat. Pluto is still a planet. Still, I tell you! Correct. I prefer to go with what actually is, rather than tradition or romanticism or whatever reasons for it. The Earth has 7 primary continental...

    Wikileaks rides again

    No, it would not be my error. It would be Wiki's error, which is why I said, "Also, you have to be careful relying too much on Wikipedia." The quote you cited was from Wiki, but THEY cited it from the Olympic PDF file, and referenced it directly as footnote #23, which you also provided in your...

    Your Sprinter Sleeper

    I don't know. More than anything, it lets them know that when they rent exclusive use of the truck, they rent the space and whatever they can squeeze into it, depending on weight, of course. Some shippers think it costs more to expedite 2 skids than it does for 1 skid. That's true for most...

    Fees you carrier charges you

    Kentucky requires Workers Compensation for employees, and Occupational Health insurance for self-employed persons. Most states require similar.

    WikiLeaks expose shows US complicity in Honduran coup

    You're missing my whole point and instead want to get dragged down into a quagmire of some sort. In the context of your original post, and within the context of the headline (and subject thread) that was created because of the article, my statement that the cable really doesn't say much of...

    WikiLeaks expose shows US complicity in Honduran coup

    No, disgruntled former worker. The "disgruntled" part, in conjunction with the "worker" part, is key to the silliness and humor of the statement. Well, there's duly-elected, and then there's duly-elected. You actually believed our government when they said them Honduran elections were really...

    O'reilly in fight with cartoon???

    Excellent example of dragging something from outside the current thread, into the current thread, specifically to attack the person, rather than the argument.

    Net Neutrality

    It's #4. Net Neutrality is the de facto method for which the Internet has been run since day one. The FCC has been ensuring that it stays that way. Look up "google net neutrality" and read the articles that also mention AT&T. :D AT&T got busted for treating rural phone numbers differently than...

    Federal judge blocks Oklahoma Sharia law ban

    Wrong. As I predicted when this was voted on, this will be successfully challenged in court. By naming a specific religion to be excluded to being used to decided court cases, the law literally opens the door for all other religions not named to be used for deciding cases. In a round about way...

    Net Neutrality

    An ISP treating all data in a neutral manner, whether it's a torrent file, an MP3, video chat, an e-mail , a Web page, or a YouTube video. When we get on the Internet, we assume that we'll be able to access whatever Web site we want, whenever we want to go there. We assume that we can use any...

    O'reilly in fight with cartoon???

    I didn't direct my comments towards jamin because his comments weren't an attack, but a simple observation, since, as jim pointed out, the Soapbox has become a de facto single thread and subject when it comes to Fox, et al, with respect to Witness' posts. That's not the case with LBD. And while...

    Wikileaks rides again

    Roll yer eyes all you want, there are seven continents, and "America" ain't one of them. Quoting from the "History of the Concept" section of the Wiki page on Continent is great for illustrating the evolutionary history of the concept, but it doesn't define what a continent is. It only defines...

    What is the weight /class limit someone needs before obtaining a dot card

    Any vehicle heavier than 10,000 pounds used in interstate commerce will require a log book, DOT and MC number, and a DOT medical examination card. Above 26,000 pounds and you'll need all that and a a bag o' chips. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Medical - Federal Motor Carrier Safety...

    WikiLeaks expose shows US complicity in Honduran coup

    Well, I'm not sure that the opinions of a US envoy in the aftermath of his "turf" being mussed without his prior knowledge and assent, and the allegations of a disgruntled former worker (Zelaya) who was trying to rewrite his country's constitution should be evidence of much of anything. This is...

    Well, to say that "America is a continent..." is incorrect.
