Even if this is the right guy and the accuser was of sound mind, I'd prefer the law would handle this rather than Anonymous. Vigilante justice is fun and all, but how far from throwing acid on people or stonings is this?
I am not a doper, but the charge of using someone else's testosterone for one day only during the Tour would mean that the accused was perhaps the stupidest doper ever. Testosterone is typically used weeks ahead of the event to build strength and endurance, but needs to be built up for a while before it kicks in. Using this drug would not have caused Landis to run away from the field the next day (though I suppose it could have been a placebo effect).
Hiring hackers to mess with the French authorities is another colossally stupid move. These things always come out eventually.
So at least it's consistent, the French think Floyd is stupid, and are able to prove it in court.
This sounds like they want to roll all the things in space into a large ball, possibly visible in the night sky??

I hope the new US administration will finally concentrate on the importance of Solar System Border Security - I demand a border fence!/I wonder if I can become a Solar System Border Patrol agent?//should we tell the Minute Men?
You want to change the voice? I think we all need to remember the peril of engaging the backup personality on Sirius Cybernetics Corporation products with a 'Genuine People Personality'. You'll never be allowed to actually post anything.
Some Posh woman is much better than most: thinking Pock-ihs-stahni cab-driver would be amusing but genreally unintelligible.
If you hold a lungful of air you can survive in the total vacuum for about thirty seconds.

Isaac Asimov posited in his "Foundation" series that when a culture/society stops doing research, and only analyzes old research and existing records, it is an indicator of social stagnation and a precursor to the end of that society.
I wonder what this means to our society? I am not suggesting this is a sign of the end of Western society, as people are still digging in the ground. I just wonder how this library of thought changes things.

Nobody yet knows where the Hrung is, nor why it should choose to collapse on Betelgeuse Seven.

Sheesh, I didn't know there were that many CDC Cybers out there still in use to cause panic.
