Is Your Son a Computer Hacker?: "6. Does your son use Quake?
Quake is an online virtual reality used by hackers. It is a popular meeting place and training ground, where they discuss hacking and train in the use of various firearms. Many hackers develop anti-social tendencies due to the use of this virtual world, and it may cause erratic behaviour at home and at school.
If your son is using Quake, you should make hime understand that this is not acceptable to you. You should ensure all the firearms in your house are carefully locked away, and have trigger locks installed. You should also bring your concerns to the attention of his school. "

"It didn't happen that way," Judy said, as the clambake wound down. "Maybe the law isn't about right or wrong. The concept that the government lied to the Supreme Court seemed to me a terrible thing to do. It appears that the justices were not as appalled as I was."

Reason: "Comparatively, space shuttles are optional trinkets, assassinations are one-off crimes, and devastating surprise attacks are usually limited to one per war. Sept. 11, in direct contrast, was one wretched blow in an ongoing irregular war declared on us years ago by a stateless enemy that is constantly probing our open society for loopholes to exploit."

die puny humans:: "People are disappointed with the future they're living in. Since 2001, the refrain has gone up, louder year by year: 'This is the future. Where's my flying car? Where's my fucking jet pack?' Pre-millennium, we were living in an unprecedented density of imagined futures, and we assumed it was all waiting for us around the corner. And here we are, around the corner, and none of it is standing here."

Wired News: Old Stones Reveal Their Age: "The new technique, called quartz hydration, takes advantage of the natural properties of quartz, a mineral found in many rocks. Whenever a rock containing quartz is cut or polished, perhaps for a statue or ax head, the quartz at the surface is left exposed. Over time, water diffuses into the quartz, forming a layer. By measuring the layer, Ericson and his team members found that they could determine how long ago the rock was cut.
The technique can be used to date artifacts that were created between 100 and about 100,000 years ago, Ericson said. "

Boing Boing: Onion stories reported as fact: "Onion stories reported as fact "

is it just me, or does Onion Stories reported as Fact sound like a perfect..Onion headline?

Pieces of the Future | A Whole Lotta FeaturesPieces of April is the first thing recorded on digital video I've seen that finally felt like a "proper" movie. I'm going to say it was the performances and script, not just the actors involved that made it shine. The picture quality definitely feels like a step down from regular cinema, but after the first 10 minutes or so you don't notice any jaggies or the harsh exposure and focus instead on the story. The entire film was made for about $160k, using prosumer-level cameras.

The New Republic Online: Under God and Over: "'So do you think that God is so generic in this context that it could be that inclusive, and if it is, then does your objection disappear?'
Needless to say, Newdow's objection did not disappear, because it is one of the admirable features of atheism to take God seriously. Newdow's reply was unforgettable: 'I don't think that I can include 'under God' to mean 'no God,' which is exactly what I think. I deny the existence of God.' The sound of those words in that room gave me what I can only call a constitutional thrill. This is freedom. And he continued: 'For someone to tell me that 'under God' should mean some broad thing that even encompasses my religious beliefs sounds a little, you know, it seems like the government is imposing what it wants me to think in terms of religion, which it may not do. Government needs to stay out of this business altogether.'"

frou frou makes you happy cannot stop listening to Frou Frou. "Let Go" is the amazing song used in the Garden State trailer. Downloaded that illegally[!], listened to it constantly for a few days, bought the CD yesterday. Amazing. Amazing. Some favorite little bits of lyrics:

from its good to be in love, "these cucumber eyes are lying the more that i smile about it, and all of my clothes feel like somebodys throw aways..." and when she sings 'somebodys throw aways' it is so Alison Moyet. Great.

and from track 11, the dumbing down of love, "music is worthless, unless it can make a complete stranger, break down and cry." then the horns kick in. WOW. Liked Imogene Heap as a solo artist, LOVE Frou Frou.
