At first I thought this was silly, then I remembered there is another guy in England that also claims sovereignty of this area. The Prince of Hutt has a better claim as far as I'm concerned.

I'm a little confused. Was this code he released that allowed others to run a mixing service, or was it a mixing service ran by this guy, or is it some kind of distributed mixing service that cannot be controlled by anyone?

I opened the article expecting to agree with headline, but after reading it, I think, based just on the one short example it gives, it is wrong. The first poem that the author points to as a masterpiece is a tortured exercise in formal mete

Maybe I should follow the example of ICE and assume everything I do is legal until a judge specifically tells me it is not. I know other people have gone to jail for murder, but how do I know the murder I want to commit is illegal until a j

Last time I bought something from amazon I was almost tricked by an interstitial with a prominent "Get Free Shipping" button and a much less prominent, "no, I want to pay more" link. It shouldn't be too difficult to
