Portugal has also been getting a fair bit of press lately for their ongoing experiment. They decriminalized the possession of all drugs way back in July 2000.

He starts his article with a line from Maggie Thatcher on socialism. Not a subtle way to tee off a debate - he may as well have dropped in a couple of references to the Third Reich while he was at it. Maybe he does raise a few interesting p

I cringed too - especially at the capitalization. I shall cringe again when Cameron starts using it. Forced memes like "black swan", "outlier" and "tipping point" are like little mini-advertisements for their books and their authors. Gettin

Chromium dev builds are working great on my older laptop. Plugins aren't that stable but you'd probably want to avoid them anyway. The Arora browser (also WebKit) is worth a look too.

I've always seen it as them reclaiming the word "pirate", which has been misused as a slur for the last 300 years. Queer used to be a derogatory term too - now many will proudly identify themselves as queer. My dad called me the other day t

I found myself in the other camp - but equally bewildered at first. Can I ask you if you would have drawn the same inference for "the deadline has been moved forward"? That phrase invokes panic in me - does it make you feel calmer? I've v

You should move to London. Nobody will ever bother you, unless it's to shout at you for doing something wrong.

I think I read somewhere that Mach 3 refills are the most shoplifted item ever. Gillette's marketing is a truly incredible machine. I finally gave up on their extortionate cost about 5 years ago and bought myself a Merkur Futur. Blades cost

Good advice. But the author, a self-identified introvert, comes across as someone who's genuinely interested in other people. Some people, introvert or extrovert, are just not that interested in others. This isn't a bad thing - self-focused

Very impressive work. But you'll need to implement "import this" for it to be considered a serious Python implementation.

Incredible stuff. Do you know if this is using anything intrinsically Flash-only, other than a fast VM? It looks like a software rasterizer - is there anything preventing a port to some kind of Javascript/HTML setup?

I see exactly where they're heading: Apple will create their own reader and Book Store in iTunes, where they'll charge content creators 30%. Perhaps if they're feeling particularly generous, they'll let you share your your DRM'd iBooks betw
