HR 4411 passed the senate today. When Bush signs it that will be the end of online poker in the US.

Just saw an ad for Napster on Fark. All professional and logo-y. It made me wonder if "going straight" was their plan from the start. Make world news with an RIAA lawsuit, convince the bible-thumpers you've changed to a pure wholesome company, then trick your subscribers into thinking they're buying all the songs they want for $30/mo, when ( Read more... )

Hi everyone, long time I know. Just had a chat with my dad about the International Astronomers Union meeting in Prague last week where they almost managed to reach an agreement on the definition of a planet.

I must admit it feels good ( Read more... )

My first 2 weeks of school have been interesting. The commute sucks, but I knew that. Still, I can't give up my apartment because it's better and cheaper than anything north of here. My Sentra died last Friday, which was convenient because I had already decided to put her down that day. Now I've got a 98 Saturn SL1. Yay stick ( Read more... )
