    This should do the trick, though I would add a fair amount of this code could be refactored to look prettier with the new control-flow, but is left unaltered for the sake of compar…

    Is it just me, or does this article read like a jr high school student wrote it? How many incomplete sentences and how much broken grammar can you put in a baseless article, and fr…

    Do you think Assange (WikiLeaks) is a CIA plant?

    This WikiLeaks farce that's being played out on CNN & FoxNews is getting a little ridiculous. From a legal perspective, he's not even culpable as he is neither a US citizen nor did…
