  • NebulaClash, indeed, the idea of checks and balances is critical to our mode of government. Unfortunately, it's an idea that seems to have faded away in this brave new age of "sticking to talking points and maintaining party loyalty above all else".

• Will there be a Firefly season 2?

• Will there be a Firefly season 2?

  • Yes, it's a duplicate all right, even linking to the same story. I wonder why newsvine didn't warn me before I posted it... What this guy's trying to do does seem a little suspect. From the scifi.com article:

• Mount Sinai Medical Center to Deploy Smart Cards this Spring

• Solar-powered mobile chargers

  • Yeah, those don't look like the type of things you'd necessarily want to carry around with you all day. I'd consider using one on a backpacking trip, or somewhere else where you just don't have access to another power source.

• Nascar to Switch to Unleaded Fuel

  Sat Jan 21, 2006
  • I've posted an alternate link to CNN/Sports Illustrated. I don't know why the NYT story was available without registration but now isn't. Maybe they do that after it drops off thier home page?

• Nascar to Switch to Unleaded Fuel

  • I don't have a subscription yet I can read the article just fine, on 2 different machines no less, in various browsers (windows and linux). Did you try accessing the article? Maybe it's dependent on where you're coming from?
