This is becoming a speech.

"You're the Captain sir. You're entitled."

"Hmm. Not entitled to ramble on about something everyone knows."

Oh Picard. Thou art most quaint. How you warm my mind...and on a good day (A VERY GOOD DAY) my loins.

Not really. Mental loins perhaps?

Animals have ruined anatomy for me.

Books. Are. Good. Librarians are nice. Nice lady complimentated me on White Teeth. Which is fucking great by the way. Got her history down pat, her science down pat, her immigents...Very Very Impressive. I'm tempted to go buy it. If only I had some money...

...Because I spent it! I have a spare ticket to teh Shins now! So tell your neighbours. Tell your parents! Tell your friends! Tell Superman.

Because he is the one true lord. Explain that, Darwin.

Or should I say, Charlatwin?!

Eh it's cold. I'm just warming up. I'm always warming up! What's wrong with me!?

It's been a while since I wrote something on this!! My oh my. Mostly because my capped internet. Popped a cap right in its knee. Crippled. Like my idiot brother. Well, that's not entirely true. The tests were inconclusive. Cap lifts tonight! Huzzah! I require study of sorts. I need to hang around people who are much smarter than me. Osmosis to the rescue...But not Osmosis Jones. Bill Muwway for the win though.

Witness this remarkable act of substitution. Acccidently ciphers much!?

erll, i'm ogg yo trsf snf dlrrp
oops
well, i'm off to read and sleep
looks like you need all the dlrrp you can get.

Why do they never show ugly pictures of famous people?

I'm looking at you, Lincoln.

Season 3 of Arrested is wonderful. All should watch it. For a show in its death throes, it does magnificently well.

And Michael Cera is hawt. That is always a nice bonus.

Unfortunately, I only have two modes: Panic and Dull Fear. I do not learn well in Dull Fear. The problem is, everything shades off from Panic into Dull Fear, given enough time. This is a deep problem. Shit.

Reading Thomas Covenant. Donaldson's writing improves over time I think. Reave the Just and Daughter of Regals have so much better writing in them. Or it could be the short story thing and he's not being disciplined enough. Still good, if a little inaccurate in its treatment of leprosy.

Or Hansen's disease. My bad WHO.

do you know of any major organizations that are similar the CDC?
who?
center for disease control
i said WHO
what? i'm asking you
World Health Organization

not actually a very good joke. Abbot and Costello would be mad. Anyway, back to watching Arrested. Again. And Whose line! Yayyyyy.

Digg meltdown

by ISurfTooMuch (1010305) on Tuesday May 01, @11:39PM (#18951151)

I've been watching this develop tonight, and Digg has gone into meltdown, not so much in the technical sense but in the sense that the user base is in open revolt, posting stories containing the code and commenting on events over...and...over...and over. As quickly as one article is removed, two more appear, and the tone of them is getting angrier and angrier by the hour.

Just my opinion, but I don't see how Digg can come out of this with any credibility left. Was this ever about the DMCA? Perhaps in the beginning, but it's turned into a battle of wills between the Digg admins and its user base, and, even if the admins could somehow manage to magically obliterate every article on this subject, they're going to have a hard time explaining themselves to the user base, who are, by and large, mad as hell.

And to those who are, indeed, mad as hell, consider what you will do after this incident is over. Kevin and the other admins may indeed fear a lawsuit if they don't take these articles down. Is that wrong, or is the law that allows this possibility the thing that is wrong? It's easy to sit there and paste line after line of numbers, but what would you do in the face of a lawsuit, even if it it's a ridiculous lawsuit supported by a law crafted just for this kind of abuse? You're taking action now, but will you get organized to push for real change tomorrow, the day after, and the day after that?

Dear God. There is a veritable war going on, and a lot of people are going to miss it. This is a big deal. Digg is completely toasted, and it's even starting to spill over. It's fucking batshit insane right now. We'll see what the fallout leads to.
