Why is that I kick myself for wasting my time everytime I bother fact checking anything Silky says... Silky, it turns out that your claim that Ruport Murdoch owns PBS was also COMPLETELY made up. Then I checked out the Architects list. Turns out, according the American Institute of Architects...

PBS is part of a modern conspiracy to cover up the Rockefeller's role in the 1929 stock crash? 110 floors of the twin towers were pre-wired with explosives so that they'd know what floors to detonate depending on where the planes hit? Have to love it!!!! :D

I've learned to ignore Silky, but I'll make one response to illustrate how he works. He states that the Rockefellers engineered the 1929 stock market collapse. According to PBS (linked below) the Rockefellers actually lost half their wealth in the collapse...

That's a healthy outlook, Nina! I don't want anyone to think that I'm suggesting that all conspiracy theories should be ignored... Historically, many conpiracy theories have been thoroughly debunked, a few turned out to be fact and we just don't know on a few others. I think that most people...

I think that Oceanic has hit on something. There really are multiple reasons for the popularity of conspiracy theories. There's the need to impose order / feel in control instead of feeling helpless when something bad that doesn't seem to make sense happens to everyone (the classic evil gov't...

It's interesting Chris2008 that you mention the conspiracy theories that seem to be popping up about the current financial mess. After the 1929 stock market crash, the popular conspiracy theory among the people (that were stressed trying to deal with the severe financial impact of it), was that...

We all know that PERB is famous for some of it's conspiracy theory threads. I read a fascinating article about the history of conspiracy theories and studies on why they keep coming up. Apparently in one of the biggest studies on the subject, they separated people into two groups. One group...

I remember reading an article about that in the paper. But my impression was that they WOULD still be leasing. I think that what they were changing was that they would no longer be able to subsidize the leases (for the reasons mentioned) to use them for special promotions. So no more low...

I realize that with some of the conspiracy theorists on here that it might be dangerous to publicize this, but... ----------------------------------------------------------- Google Announces Plan To Destroy All Information It Can't Index MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA—Executives at Google, the rapidly...

And the FTC heavily fined AT&T for "throttling". Plus the CRTC is investigating Bell on the same issue. Bell claims that they were only doing it to fight "Internet congestion" and that they were not trying to commercially control things. So the CRTC has now ordered Bell to publicly prove...

As has been repeatedly pointed out, the companies MUST get approval from both the FTC (in the U.S.) and the CRTC (in Canada). BOTH have repeatedly said that it's not going to happen.

So much misinformation! There's been so much complete misinformation here, let's set it straight. (and yes, I am a professional in this particular area, and no, I'm not taking on new clients, and yes, this has all been vetted by the lawyers). First, a nude/semi nude photo of someone who can be...

Let me clear up a few things. First, a provocative and/or nude or semi nude professional posed photo is NOT the same legally as a photojournalist taking a photo of people in a crowd or during a newsworthy event. That's assuming, of course, that your faces are shown and you are identifiable...

No, Apple and O2 released the iPhone throughout the UK last November. I was in a number of other European countries and didn't have any problems using it in most of them. But obviously it was not the new iPhone 3G model.

We got screwed Official pricing release from Rogers and it's WAY higher than anything previously reported or that you can reasonably imagine... http://micro.newswire.ca/release.cgi?rkey=1606278442&view=5804-0&Start=0 Also be aware that the number of web page they claim you can visit for the...

Well it looks more and more like the data plan pricing really has leaked out. See http://www.iphoneincanada.ca/ It appears that you will need to buy your iPhone for $199 (8 Gig) or $299 (16 Gig) from Rogers with a three year contract. The existing voice pricing plans apply but you'll also be...

While the bouyancy idea makes good sense, we also have to remember how unusual it actually is. According to yesterdays Vancouver Province, ignoring what's happening in BC, they've only ever found a total of 8 occurances of this ever being reported world wide. And it's now happened 6 times just...

Had to chuckle. There are SO many suckers out there! Let's see. Give strangers your name and personal information, including your birth date and email address (they must be real to win) and wonder why you get so much junk email and other potential problems? Oh, but you only pay a penny for the...

Re: The FlexPlan data pricing... "I was told that plan is for PC CARD only, Roger won't let me apply those." Wow, that sucks. It really sounds like Rogers is trying to penalize those that bought iPhones without waiting to get them through Rogers. I see that Fido and Rogers will both offer the...

How much Rogers is going to charge for data (or a combined voice/data plan?) is definitely the part that we are all waiting for. They DID announce a heavily reduced data traffic "flexrate" for their "new faster" data network (I'm guessing it's the 3G network) a couple of months ago. It...
