Remember the Economy of September 2006?
At MyFarce, a comment limit usually prompts me to start a new top-level comment (with a quote of what I am replying to above my response to it)... Dang... I just admitted to being the last person on MyFarce...— November 11, 2010 2:50 p.m.

Yes, switching from Internet Exploder to FireFox has been very helpful, although "FireFox" gets flagged as a misspelled word!— November 11, 2010 2:45 p.m.

It could be that brown is the new Borat mankini green... http://www.giftmonger.com/acatalog/borat-mankini-… Is it possible that Borat wearing very little has had more international influence than Mark Twain would have allowed?— November 11, 2010 12:41 p.m.

RE "Your post validates my point": If your point is that academia is necessarily evil, then I leave it to Reader readers to decide if your assessment is correct. My point is that con-men take advantage of the educated as well as the un-educated as long as the con-men can get away with it. On reflection, perhaps we could simply shorten my validation of your point to "caveat emptor" or something similar with no loss of generality?— November 11, 2010 12:38 p.m.

RE "Academia is, if not the root of all evil, a major handmaiden": This is a little too simplistic for me. I prefer to think of it as the deliberate improper application of academic theories as used by con-men to defraud people who are awed by overly-complex gimmicks. It does not help when the otherwise ethical academic is hailed as some sort of genius to the public, as part of achieving a sufficient level of mind-numbing complexity in bringing the con to fruition. My best current example of this is the credit default swap, and it appears to be ready for replacement by the ETF. If academia were the root of all evil, then where would we be without the technological advantages that our five percent of the world's population enjoys over everyone else as the only strategic superpower on this rock?— November 11, 2010 5:10 a.m.

It would be funnier if we weren't paying for it. Actually. it sounds like her department is neck-deep in SAP software issues, which could explain the high productivity in churning out meeting agendas but not in taking in on-line payments...— November 11, 2010 4:54 a.m.
THOUGHTS OF MY DAD ON VETERANS DAY
I'm no admin here, but maybe if you tried taking out any HyperText Markup Language (HTML) tags that might be in the text of your post, then it might help? It is possible that a HTML tag calling for pre-formated text found its way into your post, and as a result, long lines as paragraphs following that tag just march off the right edge of the screen... sometimes I use such tags when I am displaying computer program code, and I have to make sure every single line of code has a [return |enter |newline] after the 79th character or so to be properly legible on a web page...— November 11, 2010 4:43 a.m.
Einstein, That Clown: Special Relativity Refuted at Bull's Smokin' BBQ
RE "Science ALWAYS changes for the better from people outside who don't have the cloudy vision of peer pressure pressing down on them": It is fascinating to observe how many oil industry-supported pseudo-scientific web sites are founded just on this very same principle. Case in point: the Idso family web site at co2science.org http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Center… One can make conclusions regarding many tobacco "science" web sites as well...— November 11, 2010 12:25 a.m.
Channel 10 Airs Mayor's Deposition in Crime Case Tonight
RE #17: I assume that the station did not want to show so much that it might be a problem for jury selection later. At the same time, evasion is in the eye of the beholder.— November 11, 2010 12:09 a.m.
