• Why not filesharing is morally defective behaviour.

• Pure and commercially unsullied browser stats and OS stats from Wikimedia. We are mainstream enough and readers ridiculously outnumber editors enough that I think these could actually be really useful numbers.

• simont's first job geek horror story.

• NotN: Miss England sent off field due to injury.

I am sitting at the Pembury tavern with nyecamden, who is treating me to beer and food (I shall have to put out then), abigailb, fluffymormegil and others. Nye smells good. Martin has brought a geek game called Shadow Hunter which makes no sense whatsoever. Beer good.

I like the arguments in the first link but am too busy being annoyed at the misuse of "Darwinian" to focus on them properly.

[reddragdiva]

The proper meaning is "from the Northern Territory, drinks five litres of beer each day."

[apiphile.livejournal.com]

It makes about as much sense.

Dear 'Bob' what a pile of pants. 'Morally defective', my arse.

And yon weblog is set up such that you can't reply to the awful's points.

People who misuse the terms 'Darwinian' or 'Darwinism' to justify points should be made to eat 'The blind watchmaker'

I prefer the meaning referenced above.

I have a wikireader, it is an excellent toy.

[reddragdiva]

Can you read any other info on it?

[mstevens.livejournal.com]

Well the firmware's open, so, in that sense, anything you like.

I'm not aware of anyone having done anything but wikipedia yet.

[hirez.livejournal.com]

Well, quite. There's an observation that CStross made about (political) systems that set the value of something to zero not working. It's interesting to think about.

The mistypedURL article is clever but it's pointless because he's starting off with his own set of assumptions that are inaccurate in our current world. It's just a pile of rationalized wank.

It was nice meeting you last night. I hope to see you and Nye again at the Pembury.

Good evening :-)
