American voter turnout not so high after all - relatively speaking
Far and Wide: Voter Turnout
As we look southward for electoral inspiration, it is interesting to
note, that despite the unprecedented enthusiasm, large rallies, GOTV
and compelling figures, turnout for the American election fell short of
expectations.

Mac Upgrades - quick and easy

In other Mac news:
I worked on a Mac the other day. The client had just installed the latest OS X update and now her $400 laser printer won't work and she can't undo the update. I found out that the update made it so her operating system no longer recognizes her printer and there is no driver for her updated operating system version. There is a driver for this printer for Windows Vista, Windows XP and previous versions of Windows. But not for the Latest Mac OS.
Time to shell out $ for a new printer.
Mac just works, with only a few things.

But the web's real purpose, he suggested, was "to bring about a higher level of consciousness about our planet and the imminent danger ... we face because of the radical transformation in the relationship between human beings and the earth".
A higher purpose than porn, gossip and jokes?

Use your mouse to move left and right. Click to detonate.
By the way, I'm not jewish, I'm not an arab, and I'm not a
terrorist. I have little interest in what goes on in the middle east so
I don't share any extreme views. I just think people who blow
themselves up are stupid. That's all this game is. If you found this
offensive, tell your friends! If you are DEEPLY offended by this game
then you're way too fucking sensitive for my taste and I hope that
you've been scarred for life.
IF YOU'VE SEEN OR READ ANYTHING ABOUT THIS GAME LATELY PLEASE E-MAIL
ME ABOUT IT. MOST OF THE TIME I AM UNAWARE OF WHO'S BITCHING ABOUT IT.
UPDATE: Children were removed because the only .fla file i could
find of this game did not have children incorporated yet and I wanted
to install the Newgrounds API deal. So deal with it.
My highest score was 5 after playing for a few minutes.
Not as exciting as made out to be.
Legal drug deaths increasing
Prescription Drugs Kill 300 Percent More Americans than Illegal Drugs
Not surprisingly, there has been a corresponding increase in deaths.
According to the Drug Abuse Warning Network, the number of emergency
room visits related to painkillers has increased by 153 percent since
1995. And a 2007 report by the Justice Department National Intelligence
Drug Center found that deaths related to the opioid methadone jumped
from 786 in 1999 to 3,849 in 2004 - an increase of 390 percent.
Many experts attribute the trend to the increasing popularity among
doctors of prescribing painkillers, combined with a leap in
direct-to-consumer marketing by drug companies. For example,
promotional spending on Oxycontin increased threefold between 1996 and
2001, to $30 million per year.

Partisan allegiances run ridiculously deep
The View from Elsewhere: Did Obama rig the election?
while Obama's victory is impressive, inspiring, and important, we should not forget that the U.S.'s electoral system is every bit as undemocratic as ours.
