Slashdot | Science Blogger Sued for Unfavorable Book Review - 0 views

  • The very real danger to the book's reviewer is that he may be placed in the position of defending rationality before a jury comprised of people who find it perfectly reasonable to symbolically eat the flesh of a cosmic Jewish zombie and telepathically implore him to save them from the consequences of a snake-deceived rib-woman's consumption of magic fruit

  • This may not be true in all cases, but people who actually know what they're talking about don't usually need the law to back up what they say.




    The other case of this was "Dr" Gillian McKeith [guardian.co.uk] a "nutritionist" who sells a lot of books about how you should eat less chips and more salad. This is all very well, but of course it also includes a bunch of quakery about eating leaves so that their photosynthesis can oxegenate your gut. As the article I link points out, that wouldn't work too well unless you had a torch up your arse.




    Naturally, McKeith is mighty litigious at people who point out that she bought her doctorate from the web.

  • Which is to say, in our rapidly medievalizing former republic, crazy nutbag plaintiffs are granted a decisive advantage.

Microsoft Bought Sweden's ISO Vote on OOXML? - 0 views

  • God was in a good mood and decided to give virtues to people. One day he decided to give all the programmers in the world three virtues:

    They would be smart, well-intentioned, and work for Microsoft. But an angel told him: Hey, wait a minute, aren't they too many virtues?
    "You're right", said God. "They'll have these virtues but a person can only have two of these virtues at the same time".

    Since then, programmers in the world were divided in the three following groups:

    Programmers who were smart and well-intentioned, couldn't work for Microsoft.
    Programmers who were smart and worked for Microsoft, couldn't be well-intentioned.
    Programmers who were well-intentioned and worked for Microsoft, couldn't be smart.

rubbervir.us - How-To: Ubuntu Media server - 0 views

  • As of today my server has been up and running for 28 days 24 minutes and 23 seconds (type "uptime" in the terminal). No problems yet. I have received several emails asking when my next tutorial will be out and I appologize for the wait but I've been busy with school and work, also PHP 5 was giving me a tough time, but I finally figured it out. So any ways here it is. I'm still sticking with my original views and trying to keep it as simple as I can.
