"A U.S. official said Clinton's comments about Al Qaeda were not part of a prepared message she had intended to deliver, but reflected her own heartfelt views... Clinton has earned a reputation for sometimes speaking with candor more closely associated with senators than chief diplomats." Why did she get that job again? - John Jarvis

Nice. (Well, for Pulp Fiction fans, anyway. :-) ) - John Jarvis

Note Quebec is looking at PEI too. - John Jarvis

In no way can I relate to this... for the record. - John Jarvis

Ha ha! Wicked. This'd probably work with a decent mannequin. - John Jarvis

Hilarious! - John Jarvis

Acid rain? Boy, that dates this one: last time I heard about that, I was in Grade 5, pasting magazine articles on Bristol board. - John Jarvis

Bizarre. Haven't looked into their sample sizes, methodology, etc., but still... unexpected. - John Jarvis

It's funny: I read the article she's attacking, and also thought that it was a strange, decidedly-narrow perspective. (Although I did find it interesting that 'Allie' could repeatedly raise her prices without noticing any dip in customers.) - John Jarvis

LOL - John Jarvis

Oh, man; this is the first I've heard of this, and it leaves me wondering what else they'll come up with, now that bad ideas will rarely run up against the limits of special effects. - John Jarvis

Sweet! I love this project! - John Jarvis

Fantastic post. I really like this blog; interesting, well written topics. - John Jarvis

Neat - John Jarvis

Beautiful stuff - John Jarvis

Amazing! - John Jarvis

Huh, neat. - John Jarvis

Oh, man, this is so true. Second-class citizen indeed. My experience is that transactions over the phone or the 'net are the problem, though; the chip and PIN actually seems to work pretty well when I'm there, dealing with the merchant (and I'm where the credit card company expects me -- travelling without notifying them has bit me already, however). - John Jarvis

Great post. I'd love to hear Clay Shirky's thoughts on this. - John Jarvis

May have to take a look at that Latanya Sweeney study: sex + zip code + birth date uniquely identifies 87% of Americans. - John Jarvis

Some of these stretches, but most are quite good. (Loved the Risa one. :-) ) - John Jarvis

Funny typo quoted above. - John Jarvis

Interesting. Didn't know that bit about the pendulums of clocks on a shared surface synchronizing over time. - John Jarvis

Incredible. I'm taking away the lesson of just how difficult it is to retroactively remove particular chemicals from any manufacturing process. - John Jarvis

The part about scrubbing reminded me of a story Tan's uncle told us about one of the oldest pubs around Telford called All Labour In Vain. - John Jarvis

Hmmm... That's a bit... odd. - John Jarvis

Wrote a heck of a lot more COBOL in my day than I care to admit. Those form letters you get? Bet there's still a ton of it behind them to this day. - John Jarvis

This is a big deal over here. I imagine it'll be the hot topic at the 'tea point' (a.k.a. kitchenette :-) ) tomorrow. - John Jarvis

Very cool; I'll have to pick up a copy. - John Jarvis
