Anyone who thinks these giveaways to big corporations for supposed reward (jobs, media exposure, etc.) needs to listen to the Citations Needed Podcast, particularly Episode 20, "How Sports Are Used to Fleece Public Trusts".

There's a good reason Amazon's HQ search was often called Bezos' "quest to find America's Dumbest Mayor". Looks like he found more than one.

My heart goes out to the people. Maybe it's not too late to replace your representatives and undo this.. :(

It's sad if Americans can't make it work when most of the world seem to make do, including the close cultural allies like Canada and the UK.

I think if you have SPECIFIC things to complain about with 'ObamaCare' (it was after all abused no end throughout the process) then fine, but if you're against the /IDEA/ because "It can't work", then you're an idiot, because it's proven to work elsewhere just fine.

I have a two-hour drive to drop the kids off at school and with the exception of during Friday's commute when what my six-year-old calls "the guessing game" is on (NPR's "Ask Me Another") we have podcasts on. I spent some time finding kid-friendly ones and settled on a few:

* The Video Game Generations
* Geek-to-Geek
* Citizens of Tech
* Super Best Friends Video Game Sleepover

Note, by kid-friendly I mean free of profanity and that reference things that the kids recognize (primarily video games we all play together).

After I drop them off I have others:
* Echo Screen Live
* DLC
* Current Geek
* About half-a-dozen others

I agree with other posters: The medium should really depend on the intended goal. I don't know if sites like I Fix It have videos because I've never looked. The illustrated walk through's are perfect. If I want to get an idea of how a board game plays, I'm not interested in reading a review, I check out Wil Wheaton's Tabletop. I tried an audio book once, for Les Miserables. Couldn't stand it. Got off my lazy butt and read the book.

Again, the situation (usually) dictates the medium. At least for me. YMMV.

The story of the Last Straighter computer game (which was renamed Star Raiders II, but is NOT the lost Star Raiders II referred to in this post) is told in this interview with its programmer: http://ataripodcast.libsyn.com...

That's why you have Wikipedia...which will tell you that aneutronic fusion needs much higher temperatures, in addition, at least fifty times the density-time of D-T fusion, and generates three orders of magnitude lower power density.

In their paper in Physics of Plasmas they report having achieved the density and temparature necessary for aneutronic (hydrogen-boron) fusion. The new electrode will enable them to demonstrate a reaction which creates more energy than is required to trigger it - not a finished device, but one which will demonstrate its practicality and attach the funding necessary to commercialise it.

For more detail, an interview with the project founder can be found on the Future and You podcast here.

I just thought I'd mention Ric O'Barry, Flipper's trainer. He's spent a life trying to eradicate captivity of Cetacea. Here's a link to an interview so you can listen to him in his own words. He's not a Seaworld fan and has some pretty good reasons why not. Hope someone finds this interesting, I sure did.

Remember WorldCom, and Enron.. and the "Solution"? The Sarbanes-Oxley Act was designed to prevent financial malpractice. It was enacted in 2004 with the purpose of streamlining corporate reporting guidelines. Well listen to the following: http://renaissance.libsyn.com/peacerevolution/project-constellation-connect-the-dots-see-the-big-picture-may-31-2006-transmission-to-the-future-of-america-by-richard-grove Richard Andrew Grove worked for a Software Company that produced Sarbanes-Oxley compliant software, when he discovered it had a "backdoor" to erase .jar files.. he became a Whistle Blower, he contacted the SEC, was then harassed by his Employer - then fired. To add insult to injury the SEC knowing the software had a back door, made the software a "legal requirement" and purchased it's own copy of the fraudulent software. Mr. Grove went to court, and acting as his own defense was proven to be right, but the Court ruled the Statute of Limitations had passed. The software is still in use. Sounds like a bad novel, but unfortunately Very True. Mr. Grove should be an American Hero..not a "Whistle blower Scorned"

Many NH residents are welcoming us with open arms -- here is a radio program featuring 2 Free-Staters and a NH native. I personally was elected Selectman of my town; another free-stater had previously held that position. Both of us were well-known as Free-Staters before being elected. Over a dozen Free-Staters have been elected to the New Hampshire House of Representatives.

But what is the rest of the coverage besides recycled PR anyway? Personally I just try and get a sense of a game I'm interested in and then stop looking at coverage on it. I just want to see the basic idea of the game and what mechanics it uses, as soon as I'm interested then I cut off coverage because I don't want anything spoiled, not even the introduction. In other media I also avoid trailers because of how much they will spoil the actual movie for example. The way a game starts is meant to draw you in and intrigue you, and if you hear a lot about it beforehand, it doesn't have the same impact when you actually play the game.

There have been situations with games such as Super Smash Bros Brawl where they drip feed you with information, every day you see a new character, or a new move, or a new item you will be using in the game. By the time the game comes out I'm sick of it already and I don't even want to see it anymore. Or sometimes development time will drag on and paying attention to a game's coverage is like torturing yourself, such as with Dragon Quest IX or Duke Nukem Forever. In that case, coverage will often turn me off of a game, and if I already know I want to play it, what's the point? I've got better things to do.

Nowadays I just listen to a few podcasts where people don't talk so formally about their experiences and they often talk game theory which is much more interesting to me compared to regurgitated PR. I would recommend A Life Well Wasted, The Brainy Gamer, Gamasutra Podcast, In-Game Chat, Irrational Behavior, Mobcast, and Retronauts. If you also like those, you might like Geekbox, RebelFM, 1up Oddcast, Weekend Confirmed, Player One Podcast, Joystiq Podcast, Gamers with Jobs, Drunken Gamers Radio, IGN GameScoop and CAGCast. Hey, it makes work and commutes go by fast.

AstronomyCast doesnt quite hit it with me. Its hosted by two people who do the question and answer routine on a topic each week and I'd rather just hear one of them talk about the subject instead of one of them pretending to know nothing about the subject and asking questions. Its all a matter of taste but I find it a bit too packaged and distracting. Like it was trying to be a conversation but came out awkwardly like a script. The information is always top notch and interesting stuff but the style of the show is not my cup of tea. The Jodcast recently asked its listeners whether they wanted the "objects in the sky for the upcoming month" to be read as a question and answer thing and they voted for one person to talk about it. As I say its a matter of taste so I pointed out a couple of other shows, in case the one I wasn't so keen on, put people off podcasts - theres a big sky out there and there's lots of different podcasts too.

I could mention a few more in addition to
AstronomyCast http://www.astronomycast.com/ top quality show with different subjects explored in depth with a teaching mission that will leave you much better informed than anything on tv ever will. The pedogogic style doesnt suit me but thats just my taste.

"Slacker Astronomy" http://www.slackerastronomy.org/wordpress/ Practising astronomers interviewed and in-depth subjects discussed by enthusiastic experts, they crack abysmal jokes about technical things which might seem a little silly (or incomprehensible) but the unscripted enthusiasm appeals to me.

The "Jodcast" http://www.jodcast.net/ Science staff from Manchester Universities Joderal Bank radio telescope bring us astronomy news, a themed mini drama, the night sky this month, topical discussion and an oft repeated desire for their theme tune to be redone in a heavy metal version. Well connected on Facebook et al, join in the fun.

there are

NASA Blueshift http://astrophysics.gsfc.nasa.gov/outreach/podcast/wordpress/ A bit slick the last time I listened, with soundbite interviews instead of a bit more detail from a single person. Most NASA stuff is a bit "wow look at that" without too much depth so I only come back to it infrequently. However it is probably perfect for the younger listener and they will probably be hooked by its friendliness.

"Astronomy a Go Go" http://astronomy.libsyn.com/ is the best observing podcast on the net bar none with Alice Few. It may prove a little intimidating to newcomers but the website is also the best general resource for amateur astronomers who want to do observing IMHO. Alice is so thorough and easy on the ear that you could easily play this one three or four times to get yourself fully up to speed on what might be worth doing in the coming month with your observing time. Solid gold this one.

Planetary Radio http://www.planetary.org/radio/ from the Planetary Society is great if you are into rockets and the exploration of the solar system as opposed to deep space. Always an interesting listen with news features, an opinion spot from the self styled "Bill Nye the planetary guy" and loads of enthusiasm for exploring.

365 days of astronomy http://365daysofastronomy.org/ has a few days left to run with a choice of 365 short programs from this The year of Astronomy - The ones from this year best heard now by browsing through the programs to find ones on subjects you are interested in, but the good news is that they are set to carry on with their volunteer generated 5 to 10 minute programs in 2010. Head on over and make a program for them yourself!

The Silicon Valley Astronomy Lectures http://www.astroso

    Very strange - I just finished watching this lecture video this morning. I've all so seen her talk in TED.com

Cool Stuff!

Free Talk Live had a radio interview with the station operator a few days ago. He's running a real (2300W) station with money left to him from a deceased grandfather and doesn't plan to pay the fines (though he thinks they are hundreds per day). He's filing the paperwork to get the government off his back.

This would be a personal preference item. I'm not picky, but the range compressed music sounds like crap to me on anything but the absolute cheapest stuff. Moreover, there's a stunning example of what I and others are trying to get at.

This is an uncompressed version of the video:

http://homedir-b.libsyn.com/podcasts/7e24bfaa5acaa3c0c22fd937c31d5b84/4a771a4c/psn/images/Loudness_War.mov

(Warning, it IS uncompressed...)

This is the YouTube version of it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Gmex_4hreQ

(This is with AAC compression on the audio at YouTube's standard def settings.)

It doesn't matter if you're looking at the compressed or uncompressed version- they both are telling as to what you're claiming "sounds better" really sounds like. Doing an analysis of the sound tracks, it doesn't appear to be trickery. He's pinned it down and I've got noise in my environment and it's still better with the uncompressed sample. You turn the volume knob up if you can't hear the non-range-compressed stuff. Don't make it "louder" to compensate for crap hardware or really noisy environments (if it's THAT noisy, you're not going to hear much of the music even IF it's range-compressed...)- you don't have to be an audiophile to actually tell the difference.

The Amicus Brief response by the video game industry is broken, here's a direct link for the PDF of the brief:

Agreed. But other factors can mitigate graphics too. Sound, for example -- In The Pit is an XBOX community game that has no graphics whatsoever, and is incredibly fun. You play a blind monster in the bottom of a dark pit, hunting down the pathetic mewling victim of an evil king who throws them down to you as food.

The podcast "Hatchet Job" did a marvelous interview with the designer/programmer R. Hunter Gough. They intelligently and thoroughly discuss how a video game works without video. There's a link on the site to the marketplace to pick up ItP as well.

there's a podcast of sci fi stories read out on the radio in the 1950s. A logic named Joe is on one of them.

... but contrary to official postings from 'General British' himself ...

If you bother to read the official document hosted by GamePolitics, Garriott claims that letter was fabricated while he was in quarantine from his space flight. And he claims its true intent was to deprive him of stock options he would have if he were terminated involuntarily. Since it sounded as voluntary termination in the letter, he no longer had these stock options:

22. Shortly after the "quarantine call," NCsoft prepared and presented an "open letter" to Mr. Garriott, announcing Mr Garriott's departure from the company. That letter was drafted by NCsoft but purported to be from Mr. Garriott to the Tabula Rasa players. The letter announced that Mr. Garriott was "leaving NCsoft to purse [new] interests." Though NCsoft's letter omitted details about the circumstances surrounding Mr. Garriott's departure, Mr. Garriott saw no reason at the time to object to these omissions, and he did not object to NCsoft posting the letter on the Tabula Rasa website.
23. With the benefit of hindsight, however, it appears that NCsoft's "open letter" was a prelude to the wrongful conduct by NCsoft to come.
E. NCsoft Re-Characterized Mr. Garriott's Termination as a Voluntary Departure, Depriving Mr. Garriott of the Full Value of His Stock Options.

Seems to boil down to whether or not his termination was voluntary or involuntary that determines if he could have exercised $27 million (not $24 million) in stock options.

You cite Horowitz as a reliable source? Have you ever even heard the man speak? Anyone with *any* rudimentary knowledge of HIV can see through his BS, when they're not laughing at his ignorance and fearing that people will actually listen to him. Just to see what happens what happens when an undergraduate science student can do with his ignorance, when he isn't acting like a raving lunatic, check Infidel Guy's interview with him and SA Smith: http://media.libsyn.com/media/infidelguy/Show14_Origins_of_HIV.mp3

I'm not interested in the inevitable flamewar of debunking each and every one of Horowitz's unsubstantiated rants, but let's just start at some basics hints: the guy sells trinkets and water, a certified kook deluding people, quite likely away from real, effective treatments for HIV. Oh, and it doesn't stop with HIV, he's full-blown antivaccinationist. If anyone is further interested, you can easily go out there and read the many takedowns or hey, I don't know, actually read up on HIV itself and have a truly educated opinion!

What a nice day today...RIAA loses, DOJ opposes DOJ Copyright Oversight. What's next? Bush finally gets impeached?

Almost. Jack Thompson was disbarred today.

In a four-page written order (download here.), the Florida Supreme Court today affirmed a referee's recommendation to permanently disbar controversial Miami attorney Jack Thompson...
The Court also upheld a fine of $43,675 against Thompson.

I think the end-times are upon us. Time to move to Alaska for the rapture...

Disbarment doesn't have anything to do with illegal activities...You should read the trial transcripts. I read them as a lark, because I get a kick out of JT's nutbaggery, but I lost my enjoyment about halfway through reading all the testimony from lawyers and judges about a truly obscene level of harassment.

It's clear that they felt that bringing a suit against him for libel and slander would only further his aims, so you see, for example, a prominent partner at a law firm, another member of which was involved in a suit against JT, being publicly accused of peddling pornographic materials to minors. A clear attempt at intimidation.

Likewise the Alabama case, when the judge revoked JT's pro hac vice after JT's blatantly contradicted the Judge's instructions regarding talking to the press, which also included some basic lies regarding his status on the case (the pro hac vice had not been approved when he started representing himself as the actual lawyer on the case, which he couldn't have been without the PHV). After the PHV was revoked, JT started making criminal racketeering charges against the judge, and the judge who had held the seat previously, who, as in the first case, wasn't even involved.

Imagine being dragged through the mud by a rabid, paranoid jackass who is just out to intimidate someone else whom you happen to know.

Here is a link to the Referee Report Recommending his disbarment (pdf warning). It's part funny, and part disgusting.

It's frankly amazing that he got away with it as long as he did. You'd think, if gamers were as violent as he swears we are, someone would have killed his dumb ass.

Sounds like a good start for a new Pat Condell video.
