The main thing that makes anarchism different from, say, libertarianism, is that anarchists are against private property. The typical anarchist analysis is that the accumulation of private property leads to social inequality...
"The Y(4140) particle decays into a pair of other particles, the J/psi and the phi, suggesting to physicists that it might be a composition of charm and anticharm quarks. However, the characteristics of this decay do not fit the conventional expectations for such a make-up. Other possible interpretations beyond a simple quark-antiquark structure are hybrid particles that also contain gluons, or even four-quark combinations."
a) how would researchers get from this data to understanding what the particle actually consists of?
i can't be bothered keeping up with the changelog or whatever of the more recent slashdot changes, but 95% of stories on the front page have the red border on the left so i've been assuming these are the 'hot' stories that have come through from the firehose.

I find it strange so many people slate Second Life when there's so much potential for metaverse systems. What I'd love to see is 'gaming zones', so you'd be able enter a certain area of Second Life (or whatever), agree to a dialog box or some such and the rules and physics for any 3D game, first (Quake!) or third person (WoW-like?), would take effect with some kind of organisational system for points, tournies, time restriction, etc. Even just a basic samurai sword fight! I'll also expect to use a "Use your Wiimote in Second Life/OpenSim"/. post within the next few years.

My main annoyance with Joomla is that it doesn't do blogging very well. The Joomla dev team use WordPress themselves. That and I dislike the workflow.
I'm currently using Drupal to build a site for a local social centre and further looking to create an install package that's got preconfigured settings and modules for easy and practical out-of-the-box usage by users who may have little CMS experience. The problem with Drupal 6 is that there are a number of heavily used non-core modules that haven't been ported from Drupal 5 yet. CCK (custom forms) is in alpha. Panels 2 b5 (nifty layouts) for Drupal 5 was released last week with the D6 port due after the final is out. The other big hitter from what I've been able to gather is Views (custom content presentation), but that's already at beta3 for D6. I'm betting that once these are all final for D6 that more users will upgrade which will in turn drive mod devs to start on D6 porting.
Drupal seems very flexible and a good middle-of-the-road CMS. It doesn't have the fantastic individual centric user interface for posting content that you get in WordPress or Movable Type, but most of what the average user will see is customizable. Still the best of a bad bunch though;)
in relation to servers that do specifically social stuff, it's worth checking out the current dataportability implementations. using facebooks methods for doing these kinds of things is just wrong.
are there any features users can get by using AIM that aren't found in the Jabber/XMPP world, either via XEP or that you can find in existing Jabber clients?

if only all the communists and anarchists out there didn't reject reformism, and instead of fighting the system got inside it to change it..

n.b. individualist anarchism supports the notion of private property.
Socialism is state control.
this statement doesn't work i'm afraid, please check out socialist anarchism

b) what would be required to tell if this relates to any of the particle predictions by the An Exceptionally Simple Theory of Everything?
