Eh, just because she took the bar doesn't mean she passed it.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

In a hilarious coincidence, there was a sidebar story that led to GenCon pics, and they had a picture of WotC's Ken Nagle in his Phyrexian costume.

Getting back to the conversation a few months ago about why John Doe suits based on IP addresses should not be legally recognized:

There's also the extortion issue.  In cases where porn publishers threaten to sue alleged infringers, merely the act of naming someone as a defendant in such a case can cause irreparable harm to his reputation, even if he's ultimately found innocent.  Even if you win, you still lose, and John Does would in many cases rather settle than be named publicly.

In cases where a person's reputation is at stake, burden of proof MUST be stronger than an IP.

Guess who one of the guys being sued for downloading porn is?

A blind man.

So yeah, IP addresses aren't really a very good form of evidence.




(OTOH, a guy who can't secure his own damn router should probably not be working in network security.)

Phoenix Zoo takes the lead in reviving oryx

Quote
Fifty years after the start of Operation Oryx - an international mission to save the Arabian oryx, previously declared extinct in the wild - the species has come back from the brink of extinction thanks to the Phoenix Zoo.

This summer, the oryx, an antelope species native to the Arabian Peninsula, became the first species ever to improve three full categories on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List of Threatened Species.

The species is now classified as "vulnerable."

Let's bump this thread.

That's quite a mugshot.

In uncheerful news, "myfoxchicago.com" uses pop-under ads and evidently I need a new adblocker.

That's about as good as the time someone tried to rob a van, and it was full of special forces troops on an urban training exercise.
