Wow, CNN

2008-04-10T11:12:00.002-04:00

I usually don't write any political in this blog, but I was really amazed by CNN yesterday. There was a full screen of pro-China supporter and China national flag everywhere at San Francisco, and CNN claimed those were protesters. I have been watching CNN lying by omission and manipulating for years, but this time it was unbelievable. They just didn't see what they were seeing and talked what they were supposed to say.

My salute to Anti-CNN.com.

Here. A big table of solvents properties and miscibility. Click or double click the table head to sort. The table background changes as your mouse wandering around to high light current table cell. ~~Supposed to w~~Works in IE7 too, ~~but never~~ tested. Works in Safari 3, Firefox 2, IE7, Opera 7.5. Opera has some high light problem. And the sorting works like a magic in Safari and Opera.
