I have just found out that Windows 10 is already planned to be replaced by Windows as a subscription service. I have been a loyal Microsoft customer since the very first edition of Windows, and as much as I HATE Windows 8 (if I wanted to run a MAC OS, I’d buy a MAC), i …

An Interview with Melissa Klein and Her Husband
This is the culture being created in the United States. One of religious intolerance and State coercion. We have seen this pattern before, in Germany and in Russia. Watch the video. Are you certain you are on the right of this argument?
You might be a liberal…

A New Study on GMO Maize
Even among the scientific community intelligent enough to be skeptical of the anthropogenic global warming hypothesis, I often come under fire for my lack of support of genetically-modified food.

My Guilty-Pleasure Movies
This list is by not exhaustive; I will probably think of several more as soon as my head hits the pillow this morning. However, here is at least a partial list of B-movies, bombs, and otaku-fodder that I would gladly miss a few hours of sleep to watch again: The Last Action Hero A …
