    I, unlike you, value my life. I will continue to observe the law of the scialist realist subway posters on the Maryland to DC MARC trains.

  2. Mercury by AndyChrist · · Score: 1 · on Antarctic Telescope?

    How about a mercury telescope? Does mercury remain reflective if it freezes? You could make the thing huge, comparatively cheap, and if it solidifies, you could even point it where you want it. -38.83C, sounds about right.

  4. Re:What a hideously bad book by bfields · · Score: 2 · on Noir
    Huh? It certainly sounds to me like a rant against the fact that copyright protection is getting TOO STRONG. Hello, do you really think he's serious about suggesting that death is a fitting punishment for copyright infringement?

    That's what I would have though, too. But how about taking a look at the links section on his website and then taking a guess at which side of the issue he comes down on?

    It leaves you with a weird impression; on the one hand, you can't believe he's really serious about the scene in which a script-kiddie type is vivisected for providing the hero (acting as an undercover cop) with a key which he claims will provide access to an off-shore internet archive of copyrighted material. On the other hand, given the author's apparent views, you can't help but imagine that you're supposed to take a certain sadistic pleasure in the scene, even if it's just a joke. Since the author doesn't (as far as I can tell) ever present any middle ground, you're left with nothing to go on.

    I read the book hoping I'd find some interesting thoughts on copyright issues, and was disappointed. (I was also disappointed by the prose which, as the original poster pointed out, can be tiresome.)

    The copy I read actually had a URL in the back that claimed to point to an essay on his views on copryight, but the URL was bad; has anyone actually read that essay?

    Yes it was a joke.
    He explains it for those who are having difficulties.
    It's a funny tale too. Apparently some recruiters got a hold of it....
