Harshest warning yet issued on climate
Ironically enough, the "poor" will be even harder hit......by the suggested solutions to "global warming", which is primarily the dismantaling of the world's free economies.

Gore takes global warming fight to Congress
The "inconvenient truth" is......that Al Gore and his hyperbole is a fraud, and in the long run, he's going to do far more harm for the environment than good. The biggest threat to the environment is poverty, and his enviro-economic agenda virtually guarantees that for most Americans and virtually...

Blogging's not the enemy, says Dan Rather
Sorry Dan, you blew it. Please just go away.Dan, you aren’t helping “journalism”. That was so rich when you said “They may do good reporting, but they mix in their own opinion, their own point of view, without clearly signifying the difference. Now that's not a kind of...

On the Net, they may find out you're a dog
This is assuming......that your ISP can even identify you. I was recently sent a letter from Comcast stating that they had informed a "copyright owner" of my identity because that "copyright owner" had aledged that I had downloaded a pirated movie.Never mind that the IP address given was 1600...

Google CEO calls Net key to White House
NonsenseThe Republicans lost because in deeds they became virtually indistinguishable from the corrupt Democrats that they replaced in 1994. The web had very little to do with that, other than leveling the playing field a bit, and making it easier

Police Blotter: Ex-cops sue over Net-sex video

Common sense and lawsuits don't mix
Clearly, an employee you are better off without.Let me get this right: This is supposedly a “manager”, who cannot understand that the offending material comes from outside the organization, is not endorsed by the organization, and in fact, is highly undesired by the organization?It’s not like they had the...

A FEMA-ized broadband?
Imagine if this had been the idea in 1994......and in its effort to provide us with our "right" to free Internet, the government embarked on a massive campaign to deploy universal Internet access. They would have spent billions on an 14.4k dial-up infastructure. Oh, and since this whole...
