You assume, Ijo-Ijo, that all Chinese people would be upset that the government was overthrown? What about the people who try to practice free religion or political dissent and spend years in prison?
I don't think Steohawk is alluding to a collapse of China - maybe just a move to democracy. That would certainly be a step in the right direction in my opinion.

5 million might only be a drop in the bucket for the RIAA but the result of the trial will be hugely beneficial to anyone else the RIAA tries to sue. A sufficient judgment could well put an end to the litigation as it would become unprofitable.

Wow Dazz,
You're seriously claiming that having the highest incarceration right in the world and not the absolute largest murder rate is somehow a sign of success?
That's astounding.

“everyone knows that atheists are immune to black magic, possession, ESP, ghosts, alien abduction, homeopathy, eternal damnation, and lake monsters. among other things.”
If that was the case then everyone would be an atheist. What cannot kill you can only make you stronger right? What’s this “everybody knows” you state? Are you saying it’s a scientific fact, that has actually been proven using the scientific method? If so, please tell me the book.
Sarcasm detector broken?

You would see that from Mars, kind of - if you were looking through a telescope. Look at the size of the moon, Mars is bigger than that and we still need a scope to make out any detail.
Its pretty awesome to get a good look at the distance from the earth to the moon - I knew the number (approx) but it doesn't sink in 'till you see it like that.

Duesberg WAS a reputable scientist, however he has clung to a theory for which the evidence is overwhelmingly against him. This is not good science.
The idea that no evidence has been found linking HIV to AIDS is laughable, here are a couple of early papers that about the discovery of the link:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6189183?dopt=Abstract
and
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6200936?dopt=Abstract
If you can't accept the prevailing body of literature about a subject, or provide sufficient evidence to the contrary you may as well not believe anything.

In order to address the complaints Duesberg raises just hope on wiki, there's plenty of other reading from reputed scientists and journals that clearly outline his complaints and provide contrary evidence. From what I read he has done no experiment to prove that HIV is not responsible, he appears to have inferred from a selective reading of the literature.
To me his theory reads as though it has been designed to blame those with AIDS as rec. drug users and therefore culpable.
Essentially there is no acceptable volume of peer-reviewed evidence to suggest AIDS is not caused by HIV, and its a mighty big conspiracy to expect this is the result of GlaxoSmithKline or the CIA covering up the truth.

yeah, I haven't seen any 10 MP cameras for under about $400, though I haven't looked real hard.

Why is it homophobic to not want people checking out your gear?
People are entitled to a bit of privacy if they want it, and I guess this helps free up the cubicles...

Surely the scale is pointless since the calorie content of your beer depends on the variety your drinking.

#4 I find being well informed about tubgirl has probably helped me avoid ever seeing it. goatse too.
It's better to know why you should avoid some things at all costs to prevent curiosity getting the better of you.

@Lea, I'm sorry to hear that, however what would you have done. Execution is a bad path to take, as many false convictions have occurred. Perhaps a monetary settlement for the victims family? Regardless I don't think treating the prisoners worse than what we do is a humane solution, and I presume that that is our goal.
