Steve Jobs rushed to ER after severe heart attack

Comment in News (2 diggs, 0 replies) - on 10/03/2008
This has been confirmed FAKE - consider the source. People please, check on stories before you believe them. Just because someone can spell "Heart Attack" doesn't mean it actually happened. (see comment)

Dallas Maverick Josh Howard Hates America...

Comment in News (20 diggs, 1 reply) - on 09/18/2008
Nowhere in my oath to protect this country did it say "White America". This great land of ours is based on racial equality. Do we get it perfect? No. Are we trying? Yes. To have some asshat make a comment like this sets back the progress we make mai … (see comment)

Hackers get hold of critical Internet flaw

Comment in News (2 diggs, 0 replies) - on 07/25/2008
To Digg or not to Digg - if I Digg this article then more people know about it and the possibility of an exploit surfacing grows. If I don't Digg then fewer people know about it and less chance of an exploit. (see comment)

Legitimizing Permanent Occupation of Iraq

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 07/09/2008
Inaccurate to say the least. The author makes broad accusations about the entire military population. 99% of the military are law-abiding courteous guests with the 1% that are not getting all the publicity. The author also makes ludicrous assumptions a … (see comment)

A Laura Bush Porn? Really? Really.

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 07/08/2008
Buried as lame - someone took her biography and used it as a basis for writing a fictional erotic piece. Plus lots of politcal angst. I'm sure that there are people who dugg this just because it's a slam on Bush - kinda reminds me of how grade school chil … (see comment)

Public acceptance of evolution around the world.

Comment in Images (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 04/21/2008
Buried as inaccurate - the US and Europe do NOT make up the world. This is in fact a very SMALL portion of the world clumped with the US to try and make a statement. Try including the rest of the world and then post the data. (see comment)

Senator: Let's Spend $1B to monitor P2P for illegal files

Comment in News (1 digg, 1 reply) - on 04/17/2008
The funding ($1B over 8 years) includes hiring 250 more investigators. At first I was sceptical of this, but after reading the whole story it seems that they are only after child porn, which is good. People who traffic knowingly in such material need to … (see comment)

So I read this guys' blog and here is the synopsis: Buy a windows machine because everyone else has one. Upgrade to Vista because it's the newest thing - everyone else is! Now, I'm not an Apple/Linux fanboi; I don't use either. But I do read and I've … (see comment)

Things we take for granted: America is a great country

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 03/20/2008
Very good insight on a different country most believe is "Enlightened". And I agree with the author on the fact that most American's do not appreciate the freedoms that they enjoy. Most of Americans don't even REALIZE they have freedoms that other peopl … (see comment)

Updated info - Disney execs are calling around to the various web sites and saying this is FALSE. They still have plans to adapt all seven movies to the big screen. Of course, if these movies start tanking they might change their toon..... (see comment)
