Great story. Just what some of us need.

"Though Batman has long been aware that I’m a journalist, he has never suggested I write about him. He does not crave publicity. Like his comic book namesake, he doesn’t seek credit for what he does."

Done.

It's not even original. This has been tweeted by that celebrity (comedian) who starred in the movie Bewitched. his names is Will Ferrell

Maybe 12 year olds aren't THAT innocent, but come on. What about privacy? And as an adult, how would you feel if the boss of your boss asks for your facebook's password so they can have an eye on your boss and co-workers?

For me, that should've been reported immediately. His followers are young kids, and these kids will believe that he will do no wrong. They must've (actually. obviously) thought that it was a game and the first one to get it correctly wins and gets the chance to talk to him. Poor owners of the phone numbers must've been answering phone calls all night long.

First of all, I don't think that's the point. Not at all. Next, kids should not be prevented to file law suits if deemed necessary (ex. sexual harassment, child abuse). And finally, according to the article, it was the American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota that filed the case.

And this is why some people should not be allowed to get a Twitter account.

Thanks for this. In that case, how much should I pay an American web developer?

My concern, now that we know that it is THAT easy to block websites, I wonder how many more sites can be blocked in the next couple of months due to accidents. It is all automated, no human oversight after one guy presses the button to censor. Especially if none of those 8000 sites file a charge.

I was supposed to paste the same link, good thing I saw this.

However, I must say that this scientific explanation doesn't quite explain it all. This 'morgana' (I think it is what the phenomenon is called) has been made apparent in the 1650's, although obviously not carrying the same name. The Titanic sank in 1912. I very much doubt that this phenomenon was not yet introduced to the sea men during those times.

I'm not in any way a safety expert, as well. But this argument caught my eye. So I asked my brother who is a fire fighter. Fire exits are, in general, supposed to open outwards. Regarding blocking, according to him, there is a reason why when you look at any properly made fire exit, there is nothing heavy hovering above it.

Now as for the door knobs, most fire exits don't have the normal door handles. Like in cinemas and theaters, there's this small slot where you can place your hand. For larger buildings though, there are bigger handles shaped like a hook.

Thumbs up.

I think the point to get from this post is to not allow failure stop you from achieving absolute success. Or as they put it during "those" days, try and try until [die] succeed.

I've never seen one. Can you point out one article or link?

Why can't I read this on my iPhone? For some reason, it asks me to log in.

Observation: In the Philippines, most parents force their kids to take a siesta. These are taken around 1 or 2 in the afternoon. However, some parents fail to wake their kids up after 3 hours of sleep. In this case, these kids are up till the wee hours of the night, making their sleeping habits more complicated than it should be.

Regarding the article, I guess one should just do what works for them (their body). Some people find it necessary to get 8 hours of sleep, and some are okay with six.

Hi, when I submitted this article, CNET's title says it's WINS instead of FILES.

Please check a few of the comments on the site. ( Some of which posted below)

--- CNET take this article down, as it's absolutely, 100% false. THIS PATENT WAS NOT AWARDED. It is a published patent application, which is in no way shape or form the same thing. You're just trolling for pageviews if you leave this up at this point. Posted by thesimulacra (13 comments )

--- The link provided with "Google last week was awarded a patent it filed for back in 2010 that describes a manner..." is a US Patent Application PUBLICATION. It is not a PATENT yet. The status is "Docketed New Case - Ready for Examination", which said clearly it is not examined yet.

--- This isn't the first time CNET has done this. To the author of this article: you are misleading everyone who doesn't know anything about patents when you write a story like this. GOOGLE HAS NOT BEEN GRANTED ANYTHING by this publication. (Almost) All patent patent applications automatically publish 18 months after they are filed, regardless of what they disclose and claim. I could file an application that claims "a paperclip" and it would publish just like the Google application has here. That says nothing about whether it will be ISSUED to grant any rights to me.

The application (which has now published for the public to inspect) is pending examination, as noted above. It hasn't been examined and therefore has not yet been subjected to rejection by the Patent & Trademark Office.

I like Tumblr a lot. It's good, and it has its own appeal. Although, I really don't like the way it pops up a separate screen when I try to post a text. Otherwise, it's a good site to post your thoughts in.
