Oh, I remember this guy's HP review, they were really hilarious, and that was a fascinating reading.

I don't agree entirely with him, but I liked his tribute.

Interesting thoughts, although there are parts where I think he's totally overstating his case to the detriment of any kind of dialogue. You know, the exact sin he lobs at Al Gore. *shrug*

Well, he has a general tendency to hyperbole at time. So I guess this reflects in this essay as well. I don't agree entirely , but some of his thoughts were pretty interesting.

I can diggit. :)

but yeah, there are some glaring examples in the Prize history of women getting shafted (Rosalind Franklin being the other famous case). Miserable. Personally, I thought Stuart Parkin totally got shafted this year. GMR is nifty and all, but it was *his* insight that turned it from a lab curiosity into a product you can buy for $100.
