I think this is a good thing. Nuclear is probably still better than coal or gas short- and medium-term.

Apparently I indirectly inspired this article.

Great illustration of how broken copyright is currently.

A bit of Diebold memo history.

Great point-by-point rebuttal of that ridiculous NYT op-ed on SOPA/PIPA by the RIAA.

This rambling screed first makes no sense and second is a clear reaction to the anti-SOPA online movement. I know it's an opinion piece, but the NYT could at least require them not to make near slanderous associations or claim their own facts.

I'm glad we live in a world where this can exist.

FOR SCIENCE

I think what's most surprising is that Interface Builder is basically the same tool being used to power the App Store's growth.

I remember having one of the Steel comics that I traded for something, even though I wasn't generally into comic books. I agree that the Return of Superman plot is generally ridiculous.

Great remix.

Pretty impressive what the GRASP lab is up to.

WHAT ARE YOU???

Amusing look at remaking the cantina scene for the Super Bowl.

55%. Insane.

Cool explanation of why black paint is both useful and bad on rockets.

I need to go through and see how many badges I've earned.

Cool idea in the found art department.

Interesting to see what brands she recognizes, vs. those she associates with her parents' activities, vs. those she just describes.

Pretty cool, believed to be the only audio sample of Otto von Bismarck, just recovered.

Classic.

The scores pervert incentives for students and schools.

A little disappointing to see it's just a promo for Chronicle, but still a cool effect. I wonder if people noticed.

Amusing post-apocalyptic instructions.

One internet comment starts a paranoid phrase...

I am not surprised that this separate mountpoint problem has hung around. Backwards compatibility!

Good critique of the objections to ACTA, in that they're often focused on things that aren't in the final treaty. I still have a huge problem with the bypass-the-Senate trick, no matter what's in it.

I know this is the easy way out, and I know MegaUpload was a huge piracy problem, but the fact is you have legitimate users possibly losing their only copy of important data. Yes, it's arguably their fault for not storing multiple copies, but it is to me unacceptable that the Justice Department would metaphorically bomb a neighborhood in order to take out a crack house.

Interesting, but not sure if it's replicable. Other people have said free promotions are bad.

The guy was remarkably prescient at times.
