Here’s an interesting article on the BBC website.
“Obama’s administration made a tremendous mistake by not immediately branding the economic collapse that we had just had as the Republicans’ Depression, caused by the Bush administration’s ideology of unregulated greed. The result is that now people blame him.”
The problem is, the left doesn’t play like that (whether [...]

Actually, that’s not possible, because British television is so much more liberal than US network television (as in, allowing swearing and nudity). So it’s more like, what Heroes should have been if it were on cable. Anyway, if you are like me, you thought Heroes sucked ass, and progressively sucked more ass as time went [...]

This is random, but I thought it was interesting. Plus, I like artists and designers, and I need to get my mind off healthcare stuff. So my coworker told me he designed the look of Ken Block’s new Ford, as seen here:
The skull logo seen at 0:42 is designed by his friend, Huck. Ken Block [...]

This guy is the shiznit. After diagnosing himself with appendicitis, being the only surgeon on the expedition, he operates on himself. Pictures included. It takes a real man to poke around your own innards, without gloves. Ha, that could be misinterpreted lol.
“I did not sleep at all last night. It hurts like the devil! A [...]

And it just confirms what we already know: Asian and white women prefer white men, and middle eastern women are hot. OKCupid has access to some very interesting data sets and I’m glad they’re actually doing something with it. Thanks to Eric for the heads up.
Black women write back the most. Whether it’s due to talkativeness, [...]

I love Yelp, but I also love credibility and honesty. Apparently, Yelp’s been accused of massaging scores if businesses hand over some advertising dough. There was always that minor suspicion but this article details it fully: http://www.eastbayexpress.com/eastbay/yelp-extortion-allegations-stack-up/Content?oid=1176984
The story, which was picked up by national news outlets including The New York Times and The [...]

This is why people bag on Microsoft.
SQL Server Management Studio 2005 forgets password
As does the 2008 version. I ran into this issue, and was (not) surprised to find the bug dating back to version 2005 and still not be fixed. Hey, at least you can delete some files to fix it though.
On another note, it’s [...]

Sorry, can’t help but nerd out. Fox released the original script.

It’s interesting to see the differences from that and the final theatrical version. That would explain some of the scenes in the trailer. And yeah, probably not a good idea to look at it if you haven’t seen the movie yet.

Another X-Men? Huh? That’s for kids! Well, this one’s written by Whedon, who is typically a pretty sharp writer. That whole mutant cure arc that X-men 3 drove into the ground? They originally stole it from Whedon.
Anyway, I’ve read the original comic version, but you can find a very faithful video version of it at [...]

So the train wreck is finally ending. My friend’s been trying to get me to watch the last few eps, because they’re supposedly good, but I feel like, what’s the point? Now we’re just panning for gold in a drying stream, when there’s thick veins of gold (or at least consistent silver) in other shows. [...]
