It seems that the sub-prime mess will have even more fallout than I’d thought back in this post in April. I’d thought about the global connections but there are a few things happening that could make this a really sticky wicket, and the fallout could well be much larger than anyone’s allowing right [...]
Well my post from a couple of days ago should have had a couple more links to free music downloads, in particular this one, as BGG noted:
Big Acts Follow Radiohead’s Lead: Let Their Music Go Free
Rock group Radiohead has started a trend. Nine Inch Nails [...]
While researching the previous article, I had come across this pronouncement from the Vatican, which was a long time coming, but is very important because of the numbers that can be mobilized and the wide audience that will now be more receptive to environmental issues:
Climate change int’l concern, a moral imperative to protect environment, Vatican [...]
An interesting paper, by Jonathan Remy Nash, which hypothesizes that the precautionary principle may have legal standing, based on current case law. Not at all an insignificant issue, considering the refusal of the present US administration to give adequate credence to environmental concerns, and that many environmental issues will therefore be tried in the [...]
Jim Harper over at TLF displays once again the anti-freedom thread of so-called ‘libertarian’ thought. He seems to be saying that censorship is OK if it comes from a large corporation, but of course, if it comes from the government it is bad, bad, bad!
Somehow I Don’t Think Pearl Jam/AT&T is the Shot [...]
Yahoo stock chart for SCO shows a big drop after the ruling in Novell case on Friday, 10 August 2007. It’s trading at about 30-something cents a share, whereas a Deutsch Bank analyst had predicted a value of about $50.00 a share at the start of the litigation. Dan Lyons of Forbes, Rob [...]
The post Does Municipal Wi-Fi Have the Incentive for Security? by Cord Blomquist over at TLF is another subterfuge for corporate welfare, carefully disguised. (Although he has picked up on the Headline as a question thing.) But, in the course of the debate he makes a really key observation that I almost overlooked.
First, he [...]
Condi had some interesting things to say while criticizing Hugo Chavez, who has, we should be reminded, actually won each and every of the elections he has stood in. The BBC reports this rather straightly, not indicating if Condi was even aware of the irony here:
“Freedom of speech, freedom of association and freedom of [...]
Well this “headline as a question thing” that I had mentioned in my post of May 15th seems to have caught on, or perhaps I have just become attuned to it so I notice it more, in the San Jose Mercury, Why U.S. doesn’t stop tainted food from China, (not technically a question, but it’s [...]
Food Safety has become a hot topic, and it looks like it might play a role in the upcoming election, from some of the sound bites from Hillary. And not a moment too soon, as the long neglect coupled with the effects of our highly centralized (and ever increasingly globalised) food supply are ripe [...]
