Here's how to make money flipping a coin. Bet 100 bucks on heads. If you win, you walk away $100 richer. If you lose, no problem; on the next flip, bet $200 on heads, and if you win this time, take your $100 profit and quit. If you lose, you're down $300 on the day; so you double down again and bet $400. The coin can't come up tails forever!

Famous hacker Kevin Mitnick was detained U.S. customs agent when his plane from Colombia landed in Atlanta on September 16. He was questioned for four hours and released.

The fact that Palin's responses to questions are becoming increasingly incoherent rather than rapidly more polished is interesting. Rote memorization should have all but eliminated the overlay of nonsense in her answers by now. Matt Yglesias offers a decent hypothesis, saying, "It’s possible that all this cramming is causing Palin to become less coherent — instead of just parrying questions she knows she doesn’t have good answers to, she’s trying to remember canned lines but ...- Gabe said: WOW.

Why Libertarians Should Vote for Obama (1) (21)

- macshaggy said: Funny it's Obama and McCain that makes thank God I'm a Libertarian. The reality is both parties have never done anything for anyone unless it benefited them. Antiwar sentiments aside is not the reason to vote for a candidate. Neither is their failed economic policies on either side. If your not for truly open markets then we shouldn't bail out banks or companies that fail it's their fault and the government should stay out of it. Next up is Civil Liberties, if anyone was paying attention to the beginning of the current administration and the last administration (Clinton) then you would know that a lot that Bush push through were made possible by the Civil Liberties suppression that the Clinton administration did. I'm not saying Bush was right but I'm sure am not going to vote for a party that agreed blindly to giving him everything just because it was an election year. How else could Bush have eroded our rights? Because no one stood up to him. Currently they are the ones in power yet for two years they have not done anything except complain. Neither Obama nor McCain are going to give back what Clinton and Bush took from us so get over it.
