The danger of content filters hits the American Family Association. Hilarious results ensue.
Two reasons why I say that you should always be very, very cautious about trusting anyone in law enforcement whose job is drug law enforcement. Ain't a whole lot of difference between the average drug cop and the average drug dealer when it comes to upholding the law and doing what's right. **UPDATE**: Make that three reasons. Whenever drug criminality hits close to home, the drug warriors' hearts begin to beat again.
Another important breakthrough in quantum computing. No, it doesn't play Doom or Quake.
Leave it to the Irish to tell nature what's what.
If I ever get enough time to myself, I may have to read some of these references on compiler design.
An admin who ran a major Bit Torrent site just got busted. For their sake, I hope the guys who run the Pirate Bay never come anywhere near U.S. territory as they'll be shot on sight.
One of my best friends worked the last month or two as an intern for his state's senator after having spent the previous few years working as a very well-paid mechanical engineer. His experience as an intern caused him to make the observation that one of the fatal flaws of our government is that we pay these people and the staffers so little. Like barely a few thousand dollars for the average intern for their entire internship, and the staffers largely make $25-$35K. He wagers that our country wouldn't even have to spend more than an extra hundred million dollars to fundamentally restructure the paige/staffer system so that they could be paid a lot better. As it stands right now, the paiges are usually paid so little that all a lobbyist has to do to curry subtle favor is to serve good catering at a presentation. Sick, isn't it?
One last thing. I have a new spam filter in place. It's the TypePad Anti-Spam system that's part of Movable Type 4.2. If anyone notices problems with anonymous commenting, please create a user account or log in by TypeKey or OpenID and let me know.
