The scary thing is, a few extra votes in Florida and a heart attack for Gore and Lieberman could have been president. As bad as Bush was, it could have been even worse.
Swiss banks hold money for drug dealers, money launderers, deposed dictators, hell even the Nazis had money there. But no love for Wikileaks? Could it have anything to do with an upcoming Wikileak revelation of banking scandal?
Would anyone expect news.com.au (owned by News Corp who are also the owners of 20th Century Fox and its Star Wars franchise) to get a Star Trek article correct? Set phasers to stunned. ;-)
On the other hand, it's nice to know that not all errors in Murdoch's Fox News empire are politically motivated.
I get 3.1% on Firefox 3.6 (WinXP), 2.7% on IE8 (WinXP) and 2.7% on Safari (iPhone).
Since it would make more sense to base car insurance rates on location, I wonder if it's doing an IP location lookup and getting different results based on the browser?
The same things could be prevented without inconveniencing passengers by RF shielding the cargo area (assuming it isn't already). That would prevent any signal (WiFi, cellphone, GPS, short-range remote, etc) from entering the luggage area.
"See that ship over there? They’re re-broadcasting Major League Baseball with implied oral consent, not express written consent — or so the legend goes."

Constable is one rank (the lowest one) of officers in the Toronto Police Service. He could correctly be called either "officer" (generic) or "constable" (specific rank), though he seems undeserving of either honour.
If the people that make the Simpsons are morally troubled by how it's made, they should make a real statement and stop producing it (it hasn't been funny in over a decade anyway).
Premier League should be suing the Greek satellite provider since they are only licensed to sell to customers in Greece. They violated their licensing agreement by selling to a customer in the UK. It should not be a customer's responsibility to ensure that a vendor is acting according to their agreements with their suppliers.
I don't consider myself a moron, but I am in a hurry and based on that cover, I would have assumed that it was the carnival that was involved in corruption if I didn't read the article. To put this in American terms, if a Time Magazine cover showed the Phillies mascot running off with a bag of cash would you assume it was about corruption in the Pennsylvania government or in the sports team? Would the Phillies feel their trademark had been tarnished?
You can see a picture of the poster here.
The article is in Dutch, but from the Google translation, apparently the Dutch artist was amused by the situation (the name of the original artwork is "Truth").
