...the computer does what the software owner wants it to do, not what the software user wants it to do

...free software can save the schools money

School should teach students ways of life that will benefit society as a whole.

This will help society as a whole escape from being dominated (and gouged) by megacorporations.

Proprietary software rejects their thirst for knowledge: it says, “The knowledge you want is a secret—learning is forbidden!”

“If you bring software to school, you must share it with the other children.”


“We all pay for life with death, so everything in between should be free.”

... Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, will be released in two halves.

For film-makers Warner Bros, whose first five Potter films have made £2.5billion in box office receipts – more than any other movie series – it could mean a £500million bonus in ticket sales.

The books got progressively longer – the first, the Philosopher's Stone, had 223 pages while Deathly Hallows has 776 – and fans have complained chunks of later novels have been left out of films.

..rumoured to be thinking of Oscars and a big-name director such as Steven Spielberg for the final film, a spokesman said: "People are discussing all possibilities."

The events he probes last for about 100 attoseconds, or 100 quintillionths of a second. For a little perspective, 100 attoseconds is to one second as a second is to 300 million years.

Planck time—the smallest unit of time that has any physical meaning—is 10^43 second, less than a trillionth of a trillionth of an attosecond.

The problem, in brief, is that time may not exist at the most fundamental level of physical reality.

“The situation is so uncomfortable that by far the best thing to do is declare oneself an agnostic.”

“It is an issue that many theorists have puzzled about. It may be that the best way to think about quantum reality is to give up the notion of time—that the fundamental description of the universe must be timeless.”

A recent study in the Journal of Clinical Investigation suggests that smoking pot can make the brain grow.

The hippocampus is an area of the brain essential to memory formation.

The researchers found that rats treated with HU-210 on a regular basis showed neurogenesis — the growth of new brain cells in the hippocampus.

...the positive aspects of marijuana are becoming more plentiful (...) “It stimulates appetite in people with AIDS, it is an analgesic, and blocks nausea in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. And it treats the symptoms of glaucoma.”


Why is marijuana against the law? It grows naturally upon our planet. Doesn't the idea of making nature against the law seem to you a bit... unnatural? You know what I mean? It's nature. How do you make nature against the fucking law?

... a United States judge (...) ruling that the detainees are not "Persons" under U.S. Law, which according to another judge, means that they are less than "human beings".

The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit also ruled that torture is a "foreseeable consequence" of military detention...

...and ruled that even if torture and religious abuse were illegal, defendants were immune under the Constitution because they could not have reasonably known that detainees at Guantánamo had any constitutional rights.

...shows that the animal rights group put to death more than 97 percent of the dogs, cats, and other pets it took in for adoption in 2006. During that year, the well-known animal rights group managed to find adoptive homes for just 12 pets.

...the organization took in 3,061 "companion animals" in 2006, of which it killed 2,981.

"PETA raised over $30 million last year," Martosko added, "and it's using that money to kill the only flesh-and-blood animals its employees actually see."
