Copyright cartel: copyright more important than human life.

Copyright cartel: copyright more important than human life. Evidently the BSA, MPAA and RIAA have combined into a sort of federation of evil. All the more reason to buy nothing from music labels, movie studios or software companies that are part of the BSA, such as Microsoft and Adobe. Clearly they think nothing of risking lives to establish control over people’s lives, so people need to show that they think nothing of them either. Free software forever!

How many roads must a delivery man walk down…

I must live in the twilight zone! I seem to have no end of problems getting things delivered to my residential address in downtown Montreal. At first I thought it was just UPS drivers doing a poor job, but I just learned that an Amazon package shipped via Canada Post has been returned as “undeliverable” as well, despite my address being correct AND my having confirmed this information on the phone with Canada Post last week.

How hard is it to deliver a package? Evidently a lot harder than I previously thought!

In related news, the makers of Dave’s Insanity announced that they’re now a pharmaceutical firm.

Capsaicin may play a role in fighting prostate cancer. Capsaicin, for those who don’t know, is the ingredient in hot peppers that make them hot. So apparently the best way to ward off prostate cancer is to eat everything with hot sauce and choke the chicken regularly. Looks like my generation will be making prostate cancer a thing of the past…

That sound you hear is Joseph Heller spinning in his grave.

Gonzales: we don’t torture. Which is to say that we’ve defined ‘torture’ as whatever it is we don’t do. I think he’s lying to the world just like the rest of the gang of thugs in the Bush administration, but I think the only way to prove this would be to waterboard him and deprive him of sleep for a couple of weeks.
