LifestreamI just love when people fail to see their limitations and the structure of the system they are in as well as the structure of the neighbouring systems or fields.
As it so happens, one of my favorite BitTorrent sites, The Pirate Bay, like all BitTorrent sites I assume, is receiving an abundance of unsolicited legal [...]

I’m so looking forward to immersing myself in this game. The autumn is certainly looking up. Call me easily amused if you like. At any rate, Star Wars games have been around for quite some time and thankfully they are more fun than back in 1983. Really.
So? To be honest though, I found the game [...]
There might be a problem with outgoing email on this domain. Maybe. Possibly. Just probably. In essence, this means that the people who have contacted my over the last couple of days and are still awaiting a response will have to wait some more.
I’m getting a tad paranoid here but it sure looks like there [...]
I happened to see last week’s editorial in Nature and got a little irritated over their attitude towards the publication of scientific papers. Biased as it is, Nature upholds that such publication is reserved for scientific publications (such as Nature) alone. Free publication on the internet obviously intimidates them.

Freemind | “FreeMind is a premier free mind-mapping software written in Java. The recent development has hopefully turned it into high productivity tool.

I guess it’s time to fail at something else At any rate, and even given its shortcomings, Starsiege Tribes has [...]
Will Wright, the man behind Maxis games such as “SimCity” and “The Sims”, speaks about Controlling ‘The Sims’ over at News.com / CNet. Among other things he seems to have a very sound concept of online gaming:
What lessons have you learned from “The Sims Online” experience?
If you look at “The Sims Online” and “The Sims,” [...]
For a long time I’ve been back to square one with my original Biomedics 55 lens (by Occular Sciences). A couple of years ago I did try the Focus Night & Day (CIBA Vision) with limited success. Maybe I was expecting too much, I don’t know. My reservations with that lens have been documented elsewhere [...]
Seymour Hersh’s new book “Chain of Command” has caused quite an uproar so far.
Though, coming from a reputable reporter none of the allegations can be taken lightly. Seymour Hersh, in case anyone is unfamiliar with the name, exposed the My Lai massacre in Vietnam and the cover up (winning the Pulitzer Prize in 1970). Lately, [...]
