    Piracy to Blame for Falling Music Sales? I Don't Think So

    I often download books to check them out, and then buy them if I like them. Technical books are very expensive - $40 - $60. Sometimes they aren't even worth the time of day. Take this book for instance...

    Piracy to Blame for Falling Music Sales? I Don't Think So

    Survival of the fittest, yo. Coporate darwinism? Also, wasn't the UK going to implement some kind of three-strikes law whereby you would lose your internet connection if caught pirating three times?

    Star Wars: The Old Republic - First Impressions

    MMO's are so addictive. They may be the most addictive games. One could probably waste one's whole life inside a virtual world.

    Gentoo Linux 12.0 Live DVD Released

    That Black Panther OS looks pretty cool. I'm not that into KDE, though. I prefer a more minimal windowing environment. Ever seen awesome/?

    Happy 2012!

    The Mayans never, to my knowledge, actually predicted 2012 as being the end of the world.

    I have the same problem, Doomsday. And I started 2012 with pumpkin pie and ice cream. Oops.

    Would it be Worth Moving to a Calendar Where Every Year Was the Same?

    If I wanted to look nuts, I could just start using the Holocene calendar on my own. XXXX xx, 12012 HE.

    Microsoft vs. Google: Which Won the Search Game in 2011?

    I used to use Yahoo. Before that ... AltaVista, Excite, and a bunch like that. I remember using Netscape! The Internet was a different place in the early 90's.

    Microsoft vs. Google: Which Won the Search Game in 2011?

    Go Daddy Removed from SOPA Supporters List - But is it Too Late?

    Would it be Worth Moving to a Calendar Where Every Year Was the Same?

    I'm quite fond of the Holocene calendar (Human Era). Whether you're Christian or not, doesn't using a calendar based on the birth date of Jesus Christ (an incorrect birth date, according to more modern research) seem a bit "outdated" to you? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocene_calendar...
