wikileaks on Afghanistan
http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/web/07/26/afganistan.wikileaks/index.html (article on story)
http://edition.cnn.com/2010/TECH/innovation/07/26/how.wikileaks.works/ (article on wikileaks; could use your money!)
http://wardiary.wikileaks.org/ (the actual scoop)
* FAQ for Iain M. Banks' Culture books. Has some interesting stuff on Use of Weapons and Excession in the spoiler section. Also links to "The Culture is the answer": In his science fiction novels, British author Iain M. Banks projects a future human society that seems to embody all the essential virtues of Objectivist social theory, while at the same time suggesting how two widespread and major shortcomings of current Objectivist thought may be corrected. I haven't read that yet, I'm just posting the url because Culture? Objectivism? Tres bizarre.
If you've read the Full Metal Alchemist manga, or seen the Brotherhood anime, you might be amused by my calculations regarding philosopher's stone volume. If you haven't, spoilers!
Smartbooks exist. Tablet version.
* I didn't know states could opt out of Social Security.
* Raw milk raid. Time for Salatin's illegal food essay again.
* What caffeine does to your brain.
* Math pun
* Spaceships are like trains
* UK Tory "big society". :(
* Zuko, Mai, childbirth
* BP rig had alarms disabled and shoddy fire doors
* On German game enthusiasm
