Looking for the The Google Font? It is Catull, but found out more about the Google logo by reading the Google Font Page
Fancy reading my Looking for the Spam collection ? It's even getting multilingual
Linux, Linux, Linux, Linux... want to try it ??? Knoppix is really nice. And easy. Download, burn, reboot. Et voila, Linux is running...
On the one hand, there are lots of other blogging clusters, and maybe we are just more aware of our own.
Most people, once they start using RSS to check the news, just don't go back, the amount of time and irritation saved is totally, completely addictive.
"Nous avons tellement fait livrer de St-Hubert pendant que nous programmions le jeu, que nous avons voulu le souligner à notre manière. C'est un peu une sorte d'hommage aux livreurs qui nous ont servis des centaines de fois", explique Antoine Dodens, programmeur en chef du jeu. Selon lui, des tonnes dejoueurs ont écrit à Ubi Soft pour dire à quel point ils étaient contents de voir un clin d'oeil typiquement québécois dans un jeu vendu un peu partout dans le monde.
N'empêche, malgré la publicité gratuite, St-Hubert n'a pas apprécié le geste, que ses administrateurs jugent parfaitement déplacé.
Depuis dix ans, les néoconservateurs sont veufs. Leur ennemi préféré, le communisme, ne menace plus guère, la grande querelle de leur vie (qui s'achève) est épuisée. Mais au lieu de célébrer leur victoire, de se reposer (et de nous reposer) un peu, ils ont conservé ce registre apocalyptique qui structure leur identité. Ils affectent donc de croire que l'ennemi - détruit, récupéré, en déroute - rôde encore dans les murs. Le communisme n'est pas mort, il ruse ; le loup s'est grimé en grand-mère, mais pour mieux nous manger. Terrorisme, islamisme, antimondialisme, multiculturalisme constitueraient alors les derniers avatars de l'indéboulonnable empire du Mal.
The battle in Eldred thus sounded like a battle for and against property. On such a simple scale, it was clear how the majority of the Court would vote. Not because they are conservative, but because they are Americans. We have a (generally sensible) pro-property bias in this culture that makes it extremely hard for people to think critically about the most complicated form of property out there what most call intellectual property. To question property of any form makes you a communist. Yet this is precisely our problem: To make it clear that we are pro-copyright without being extremists either way.
"The Commons" and "the public domain" might be legitimate concepts with deep and relevant histories, but they're too arcane to most of us. Eric Raymond has told me more than once that the Commons Thing kinda rubs him the wrong way. Communist and Commonist are just a little too close for comfort. Too social. Not private enough. He didn't say he was against it; but he did say it was a stretch. (Maybe he'll come in here and correct me or enlarge on his point.) For many other libertarians, however, the stretch goes too far. Same goes for conservatives who subscribe to the same metaphorical system in respect to property.
Taoism is famous for its skepticism toward grand human designs to shape the pattern of nature and the course of history. It favors doing nothing over doing something that may unleash terrible unforeseen consequences. So, just as I am more accepting of Aidan's reality, I am also more aware of my limitations.
A discussion about the question why the fly is on the left and not in the middle: 1)Men are mostly righthanded, so they hold their little fella slightly aimed to the left. (Really? Wouldn't the pull be more to the right?)
2) Pure physics: if the fly were in the middle, all the splatter would come back; now it splashes to the side
