quote [ We’ve just finished out lengthy series on what file-sharing studies really have to say about file-sharing. The series has drawn quite a lot of attention, so, we felt the need to cap off this series with some final thoughts and a list of links to all the studies and more. ]
Ran across this on Google+, thought it was interesting.

quote [ Views from across the globe, including a couple we shot ourselves. ]
It's an annular solar eclipse. That means the sun isn't blocked entirely and we get to see a ring of fire. Coincidentally, it was only visible on Earth from within the Ring of Fire.
I imagine a certain someone who hasn't posted here in a long time would love this. [sci&tech] [by mechanical contrivance@1:04amGMT] [+5] [16 comments] |

quote [ NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. — A judge here sentenced Dharun Ravi to 30 days in jail on Monday for using a webcam to spy on his Rutgers University roommate having sex with a man, in a case that galvanized concern about suicide among gay teenagers but also prompted debate about the use of laws against hate crimes. ]

quote [ Oh yes. Recently (May 8th to be exact) I did a post on potty-mouthed golf caddy George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina who, for some reason, took offense when Sandra Fluke went on Twitter and voiced her support for a bill that would protect the rights of working women when they get pregnant.
Let’s relive The Magic That Is George Tierney of Greenville South Carolina When He Talks To The Ladies, shall we? : ] This fellow gives assholes a bad name

quote [ The term miscarriage of justice carries with it the inference of accident, but also of death. There is a pressing need to investigate in detail how it has come about that there has been a form of death in this case – the death of justice – and who should be found responsible. ]
Considering that Al Megrahi died a couple of days ago, I thought you lot might enjoy this excellent essay about the process by which he was convicted. I had no idea that it was such a load of shit.

quote [ Another Saturday Night Fever coda: The Bee Gees' Robin Gibb died Sunday, his rep said in a statement to E! News. He was 62, and had been battling colon cancer.
Maurice Gibb, Robin's twin and bandmate, passed away in 2003. ] These deaths all seem to come in flocks.

quote [ In recent months a growing chorus of commentators has begun to dismantle the notion that the current polarization of American politics is equally the fault of “both sides.” Most notably, two old Washington hands and collaborators, the Brookings Institution’s Thomas Mann and the American Enterprise Institute’s Norman Ornstein, have directly blamed the Republican Party’s ideological extremism for our predicament. ]
Nice to see it in the media.

quote [ Jenna Talackova, born a man and nearly disqualified from the pageant, dominated the swimsuit and evening gown portions of the Miss Universe Canada competition. ]
Typically I don't give a shit about beauty patents. But this woman who used to be a guy is hot and I hope she wins. I also hope that after she wins she "leaks" a bunch of naked pictures. (i.e. the "porn" category is me wishful thinking)

quote [ Grand Old Party demonstrates that as a people united, our opinion has real volume. When we approve of a candidate, they swell with power. When we deem them unworthy, they are diminished and left hanging in the wind. We guard the gate! It opens and closes at our will. How wide is up to us. ]
