a treasonous action is one which provides, to an outside influence, some sort of power over the state without the full support of the nation. what piers morgan did, however dispicable, was not treasonous, unlike if Tony Blair signed away control of Britain to Brussels, which would be treasonous, (an...

he should have quit, rather than been sacked, like he originally told the world, saying that he was placing his career as an editor on the line by standing by the authenticity of the pictures, then he goes and backtracks by stating that although they may not be real, they genuinely portray the kind ...

I'm confused as to what relevance a rifle has to navigational equipment.. and are you suggesting that the US government owns all the GPS satellites? Because you would be very much mistaken. Almost every single sattellite in orbit is owned by private companies who lease them (for the equivalent of s...

Yeah up the british public services,

shame about the price of petrol, at my local garage it was around £0.82 per litre

LARP may be fun, but re-enactment can be better, going round a battle field using (blunted) weapons and armour to fight with, there's strict rules, although there ha...

i currently use Firefox,

mainly because i'm (gradually) moving away from M$ products, and also because of the tab support.

http://www.theinquirer.net How ATI double whammied Nvidia over GDDR3 NVIDIA'S mid-range GeForce FX 5700 Ultra (NV36) has had a bit of a rocky history.
