Incredibly good use of Flash to show how big things are relatively, I've seen similar before, but not this well done.

And, in the comments, someone actually dates the birth of Jesus using actual bibilical evidence.September. Can we have our secular/pagan holiday back please?

Um, this article appears to actually be serious. At times reading it I thought it might be tongue in cheek, but I'm not sure it is. Opinions?

Like Wozniak, I'm always a bit ambivalent about net neutrality arguments, but the balance always comes out in favour of the idea, there isn't true competition in the ISP market, and even if there were giving the wealthy/established privileges over the poor/startup strikes me as distinctly unliberal.

I think this sort of thing is a good use of sites such as @libcon. I suspect the odds are if he weren't Assange, prosecution wouldn't be happening for a case of this nature. But there's a large part of me that thinks that prosecution should happen in cases of this nature. Some nice legwork by Sunny, Dr Ben et al.

I believe in due process and the rule of law. Assange should be given the full rights given any accused person, and I hope for a free and fair trial. It's possible he's both guilty and that the prosecution is politically motivated. But if he is guilty, he should be prosecuted, and Wikileaks can, and will, survive.

Andrew makes some good points very strongly here, hadn't considered some of what he suggests, can't say I disagree with him though.

Interesting idea for a site, run by the Commission rep to London. Bit dry, but points for effort (and for using Wordpress reasonably well, although I've seen a lot better)
-
There are people I've actually met writing stuff for this. Might be interesting.

See, if the world had sane drug laws, this bloke would just be having a nice relaxed Xmas and not hurting, or costing anyone, anything. As it is, the whole legal system has to deal with him. Drove past Koblenz once. Didn't stop.

Legalise it, regulate it, tax it. Generally my approach to most things I disapprove of. I've been to Dortmund, it's a strange place.

A couple of my cousins went to this school. What a brilliant idea and method of teaching science properly. I am impressed.
