"I thought Sarah Palin was a politician who wasn't a politician? Do we really want to go down that route?" - Sharon Rosa

"They already charge for international calls or calls to Hawaii and Alaska - see http://www.google.com/support...? ... I don't know if they'll have enough international calls to cover all their expenses, but if it doesn't, using ads strikes me as more likely than adding a charge for domestic calls. Or, like the original article says, a version of Google Voice for business. I like GV but they'll have a hard time talking people into paying *another* regular phone bill for a few shiny extra features." - Sharon Rosa

"Actually, mentally disabled can get put on Medicare, too - including severely disabled children. I don't know the exact requirements but i'm fairly certain Palin's kid, if he doesn't qualify already, will by the time he hits 21. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING will change regarding her Down baby." - Sharon Rosa

No, it would not be. - Helen Sventitsky

No sin whatsoever. - Jannifer @wordsforliving

Especially considering half the "evils" are pre-existing or irrelevant, ie "stranger danger" - we've been telling our kids not to take candy from strangers since my grandma was little but now that the boogieman has AIM, it's suddenly a huge terrible brand-new thing… Honestly, i haven't heard of a single "internet danger" which wouldn't be prevented by parents paying attention to their kids instead of treating the internet like a TV and then being shocked when it's more interactive than that. - Sharon Rosa

The U.S. is seriously hindering its childrens' education... lots of reasons, but comes back to parents not paying attention to their kids in general... yep. - Ken Stewart | ChangeForge

This is not a suggestion to give everything away for free - that’s unsustainable, counter-productive, and doesn’t honor yourself as a person. You have to take care of yourself before you can take care of others. Instead, this is a call to focus your passion and creativity on creating value that you can share with others, for brilliant, creative, and compassionate people lose more by withholding what they have and not exchanging value than by leaving more of what they have on the table. - Sharon Rosa

"Some former Nazi who'd immigrated to America and was only recently caught was arrested for his war crimes. 80+, had to be carried out of his home in a wheelchair, and *he's* getting charged. So yes, if Bush were a WWII Nazi, he'd be in prison by now, and i sincerely hope Bush *does* get charged for his actions. Preferably before 2073." - Sharon Rosa

"Author David J. Williams has premiered some amazing art from his upcoming future-thriller book The Burning Skies on his blog, including this fantastic Phoenix Space Elevator." - Sharon Rosa from Bookmarklet

I work down the street from this studio and there's always the most amazing photos hanging in the front window. The photos on the website are nice but a genuine disappointment compared to the gorgeous window displays i see every day. I'm tempted to go there tomorrow and say "Look, you don't know me but FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, POST YOUR WINDOW DISPLAYS ONLINE, i want to be able to worship them evveerrywheeeere!" Except, um, in a less creepy-stalkerish way. - Sharon Rosa from Bookmarklet

I've heard of pens like these before but this one supposedly saves images as vectors, which i don't think any others do and would be pretty sweet as something to go along with a sketchbook. I'm kind of afraid to find out the price, though :\ - Sharon Rosa from Bookmarklet

There is soooo much wrong with this story. Starting with, how the hitlerfuck do you mistake a 12-yo black girl for a white hooker? Oh - she was wearing "tight shorts." Well, then, go ahead and kick her ass. And yeah, you can ignore her screams for "Daddy." That's probably just what she calls her pimp. - Sharon Rosa from Bookmarklet

No, cause you are not able to transfer their music into your system. You only have "read only" rights to it - Shevonne

it becomes complicated if you're sharing outside your home. especially when people share at Univsersity. & w/ mytunes - clarke thomas

...not because it is pretty, but it is SMART. It properly recognizes word/word combinations and ACCURATELY translates. Real time. via Orli http://friendfeed.com/e... - Mona Nomura

@Leather Donut, in the languages i've tried "fuck" won't translate by itself, but something like "How are you? Fuck!" works (not well, gotta know your curses in advance, but no worse than any other translator). Odd. At any rate it's better than when Google Translate first got Russian and listed "fuck" as "да." - Sharon Rosa

"OVER 1,200 SUPPORTIVE SIGNATURES!!!" - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet

The guys and dolls over at Fark picked this one up and had a lot of fun with it. Apparently the Webmaster couldn't delete comments fast enough! - MVB (Grinch of FF)

I've just tried Photobox.co.uk print quality was good on the 12x8's I tried and quite cheap, depends how much control you want over the final print you might be better off going to lab - Rory

Thanks guys, also what services do you use to sell prints? - Kol Tregaskes

"Chinese farmers are trapping eagles and other birds of prey and throwing them into poultry pens so that the chickens can wreak their revenge on them. The farmers say the trussed-up eagle is so frightened of poultry after the experience that they never return to hunt them. Farmers have complained for years about eagles stealing their chickens but face fines or even jail if they kill the birds. So instead they have come up with the idea of catching but not killing them to avoid incurring any penalties. They say after the trussed-up birds is freed it never returns - while the chickens also learn self defence against the birds of prey. Farmer Xiao Wu of Huaxi Village at Lin’an said: 'Those eagles have eaten nearly 300 chickens over the past three months, and now I catch them with a trap and let the chickens get revenge. 'Free range chickens get the best price, but the chickens are always the target of the eagles. I tried every other means to drive the eagles away, including scarecrows, bamboo sticks, even - Cee Bee from Bookmarklet

Terrific!!! - Business Blogger【ツ】™

I don't have any use for this myself, but the features list made me LOL: "Accidentally provides correct alpha-transparent tiling PNG support in IE6" - you know it's good when it works in IE, even accidentally :D - Sharon Rosa from Bookmarklet

"As long as the kids learn the math, i don't see a problem with that. Well, i'd prefer the question to be sponsored by the local dairy farmers - got enough kids being hopped up on sugar without their math tests suggesting they go out and get more - but that's a parenting issue, if you haven't taught your kids milk is better than cola by the time they're old enough to read then you can't expect the school to fix it for you and shouldn't complain when they're exposed to ads reinforcing what you already let them do. Besides, religious schools (at least the one i went to) have been doing this for ages: "According to Genesis in the KJV Bible, what is the volume of Noah's Ark?"" - Sharon Rosa

"Our emoticon stress balls will make your life easier. They're here for you when you find out your favorite TV show has been renewed, when you walk in on your sister and your best friend..." - Sharon Rosa from Bookmarklet

Angelo Rosa has more Thanksgiving memories than most people. The man from Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania is one hundred years old. He lives in the same house where he celebrated a great number of Thanksgivings. But he says it was different when he was a child. Mister Rosa was just three when his family came to America. He says Thanksgiving was not a tradition his family celebrated when he was a child. ANGELO ROSA: "When we were small children, Thanksgiving was never a very big holiday because at the time it was not promoted the way it is today so we actually didn't pay too much attention to it." - Sharon Rosa from Bookmarklet

a blog which starts off stories with one line or paragraph - Sharon Rosa

1. You only get one place. 2. It has to be somewhere you haven't been yet. Deadline: Three years. Anybody up for a trip to Tokyo in November 2011, then? - Sharon Rosa

...and if STXI sucks i'm probably going to buy $100 of old Trek DVDs in a futile effort to prove to them that Trekkies still care, we just don't like this new crap they're putting out. - Sharon Rosa

I've always had issues with this formula. First, time and money should be time + money (2money), not time x money (money^2) - but that might just be my incorrect mathematical opinion. Second, money isn't the root of all evil, the LOVE of money is the root of all evil - so this doesn't prove girls are evil, it proves gay boys are less evil than straight boys... i may be over-thinking this. - Sharon Rosa

"As saints, we all must study God's Word for ourselves so that we won't be deceived. No one has the corner on being a "real Christian" or a "real American"...we are All called to get God's Word into our own hearts and to live His Word while being led by His Spirit as His sons and daughters." - Sharon Rosa from Bookmarklet

Also, i know you keep backups on some kind of cosmic hard drive. If you could just restore my cat's file while you're patching the bugs, i'd really appreciate it. Thanks. - Sharon Rosa

If only he were actually a US citizen. I vote for any mostly-pacifist time-traveller who keeps Daleks at bay. - Sharon Rosa from Bookmarklet

“The young artist has in his soul to change the world, yet he is instructed in “I-ness”—”I” being the notion that art is about his perception, his vision and his creative statement. And while those things are important, “I-ness” can not change the world.” - Sharon Rosa

""American soldiers" emerged from helicopters and "attacked a civilian building under construction and opened fire on workers inside - including the wife of the building guard - leading to [the deaths] of eight civilians", it added. "The helicopters then left Syrian territory towards Iraqi territory," Sana said. The dead include a man, his four children and a married couple, the Syrian report said, without giving details of the children's ages." - Sharon Rosa from Bookmarklet

On Twitter: @JohnMcCain2008 "Reported strikes inside Pakistan and Syria today against terrorists, think Obama would have the stomach for this type of war? No" Okay, WRONG thing to say. Obama doesn't have the stomach to bomb civvies? Damn him! *sigh* I just hope the early reports are wrong on innocent families dying. - Sharon Rosa
