Palin Is “Racist, Sexist, Vindictive, And Mean”
Alaskans Speak (In A Frightened Whisper): Palin Is “Racist, Sexist, Vindictive, And Mean.” | The LA Progressive
“So Sambo beat the bitch!”
Besides insulting Obama with a Step-N’-Fetch-It, “darkie musical”
swipe, people who know her say she refers regularly to Alaska’s
Aboriginal people as “Arctic Arabs” – how efficient, lumping two
apparently undesirable groups into one ugly description – as well as
the more colourful “mukluks” along with the totally unimaginative
“f**king Eskimo’s,” according to a number of Alaskans and Wasillians
interviewed for this article.
NASA to Explore "Secret Layer" of the Sun
NASA - NASA to Explore "Secret Layer" of the Sun
It is a place in
the sun's atmosphere, about 5000 km above the stellar surface,
where magnetic fields overwhelm the pressure of matter and
seize control of the sun's gases. It's where solar flares
explode, where coronal mass ejections begin their journey
to Earth, where the solar wind is mysteriously accelerated
to a million mph.

Let's Get Back To Peacekeeping
DTK: Peacekeeping: We Don't Do It Anymore
The fact is that Canadians should be in charge of what their military is doing. At this time, we are not. The Liberals failed to steer the military in to the post Cold War peacekeeping force that we wanted. The Conservatives are taking that military force and using it aggressively. Neither party deserves to be leading this country if they aren't carrying the morals and values of Canadians with them.

Internet Explorer 8 is a resource hog - stick with Firefox 3
IE8 is a resource hog - The INQUIRER
In a multi-tab browsing session against 10 websites under Vista, IE8 grabbed
about 380MB of memory, in contrast with 250MB consumed by IE7 and just 159MB by
Firefox 3.0.1. That makes IE8 nearly one and-a-half times more memory intensive
than IE7 and well more than twice as greedy as Firefox.
Nonetheless, Firefox displayed websites faster than both IE7 and IE8,
according to the test report, although it didn't present any timing figures. The
test report conjectured that Firefox uses "a more efficient rendering engine
employing fewer threads in exchange for faster linear performance."
