And Al-Qaeda comes in to feed the hungry in exchange for men to fight the "United Satan of the West". Things never change in the Mideast for the past 30 years, do they?

U.N. Report Declares Internet Access a Human Right
"A United Nations report said Friday that disconnecting people from the internet is a
human rights violation and against international law. The report railed against France and the United Kingdom, which have passed laws to remove accused copyright scofflaws from the internet. It also protested blocking internet access to quell political unrest (.pdf)." See: http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/201...a-human-right/ |

I think it's a move in the right direction, the internet is a form of speech, and disconnections for arbitrary reasons could be construed as censorship...
It's plausible that at some point in the future the running of the internet could be so cheap that Broadband costs for households would be negligible. They already are pretty low. |

Doctors claim to have "functional cure" for HIV
Timothy Ray Brown suffered from both leukemia and HIV when he received a bone marrow stem cell transplant in Berlin, Germany in 2007. The transplant came from a man who was immune to HIV, which scientists say about 1 percent of Caucasians are. (According to San Francisco's CBS affiliate, the trait may be passed down from ancestors who became immune to the plague centuries ago. This Wired story says it was more likely passed down from people who became immune to a smallpox-like disease.)

The corporate owners should just start ransacking their marketing and sales dept. Selling ideas should change with the times, harping about "copyright" all the time isn't going to help sales in the long term. LAST CALL FOR GOLD DUMPING! Soros is selling his gold — should you too? Quote:

Its not a full melt down as in "china syndrome", because the material stayed (mostly) in the reactor pressure vessel. It was a full melt down of the fuel rods however (which is technically not a melt down either... more like a burn down, since the fuel rod's casing - rich in zirconium - begins to burn at very high temperatures, binding with the O in H2O creating a lot of H2 in the process (which caused the hydrogen explosions)). That (at that time assumed partial) melt downs occured was clear when the first hydrogen explosion was confirmed (at least for some people who are familiar with the technology). The only thing uncertain was the extend of the cladding fire. Now TEPCO says its been 100% in all 3 reactors (though this result does not come completely unexpected - for this hydrogen explosion you need a lot of hydrogen - so a lot of cladding must have burned). And to be chronologically precise, the reactors suffered these melt downs after the big quake(s) (not during). I bet in 2 years CNN will find out, that there is high background radiation in the region around the power plant, coming from heavy isotopes.
