Press freedom

Posted by samzenpus on from the but-we-love-freedom dept.

GarconDuMonde writes "Reporters San Frontiers has released it's third annual worldwide index of press freedom. Although the majority of top-ranking countries are from northern Europe, it is perhaps more interesting to note where countries such as Switzerland, Italy, the UK and the USA fall (1, 39, 28 and 22, respectively)."

    Who the...cares

    Red Sox win! Once again karma be damn!

    My memory is clouded but I believe that it was in 1986 that I was root and working on my first UNIX computer. Dual boot UNIX system on an Apollo. Or was this on an IBM RT? 1986 was the year of Buckner.

    Most of this started in 1978 (the year of Bucky).

    WTF cares! Red Sox win!!!!! WOOT!!!!!
