PJ isn't a pseudonym, it is her initials. Also, we have known that Pamela Jones was PJ since 2005, long before Oracle even bought Sun, let alone sued Google. So basically, and please excuse the language, you appear to be talking complete an

You should possibly recognise that being paid to hold an opinion is very different from being paid for an opinion.

"There is no way for the common person do that" Eh? Of course there is. It is called investigatory journalism and it is a lot of work. Also, I think you may have the moral of the story wrong.

I don't know if PJ is paid by any of the parties involved, but I do know that PJ has actual legal experience as a paralegal, which is the main reason I think that her analysis carries weight when compared to those with no professional legal

That can't be it, for obvious reasons. [edit] though I do suspect they might be instances of SIRI unintentionally using Apple's idle clock cycles to troll online messageboards. Which may also explain 90% of youtube.

This has already occurred, is just that the French are keeping it secret until they have finished the final alignment checks on the giant laser. I think they plan to unveil it for the London Olympics by burning the words Vive la France onto

Is not an unreasonable philosophy to get pissed off with the bullshit of modern life and to go and live in the woods for a bit. Lots of people do that at one point or another. The unreasonable, or crazy, or just plain mean, miserable and bi

Reminds me of Terry Pratchett's concept of retro-phrenology... You can go into a shop in Ankh-Morpork and order an artistic temperament with a tendency to introspection. What you actually get is hit on the head with a large hammer, but it

They lend some of them out to people, but only on the promise of getting even more pies back. And sometimes their children are really bad at pie collecting and so the pies get returned when the pie collector dies.

If a court is banning a publication, surely at least someone might be expected to go and double check that the claim isn't bullshit. You know, just on the basis of it being their job, or something nice like that. Otherwise it isn't really a
