    Teacher in Spain forced to resign because of a P2P lecture

    http://homepage.mac.com/jorgecortell/blogw...1532/index.html He gave a lecture about the legal uses of P2P networks and the positive impact of P2P. He was basically forced to resign over the whole issue. Pressure from the MPAA and other similar groups caused this BS. :mad:

    After a water main break

    When would you say it is okay to drink the water after it returns? Keep in mind that the water is usually muddy for a few seconds or so once it returns.

    Default Style Changed (For a good reason)

    I have changed the default forum skin to the vBulletin default for a reason. AOL members have had trouble joining because some of the images on the Afterdark skin won't load. The Default skin is non-image based, so now that it's the default, they might not have troubles joining. You can change...

    Styles

    The default vbulletin style has been enabled. Use it for now if you don't like the dark color of the Afterdark skin. (The default skin doesn't show some of the plugins though. Hopefully we can get another light skin up sometime soon.) ----- http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=161...

    One of our cats is afraid of the ceiling fan in the hallway at the top of the stairs. If you turn the fan on and put him in my aunt's room, he'll hide in the room because of the fan. Earlier this evening, he was downstairs and afraid to go up the steps cause he didn't know that someone had...

    Best sunscreen not FDA approved

    http://abcnews.go.com/2020/Health/story?id=858453&page=1 The best sunscreen (Mexoryl) is illegal to sell in the USA because it's not FDA approved. The FDA won't even give a reason. This has to be some kind of strange conspiracy. If not, then why the hell won't they give a reason? <div...

    RIP Uncle Stan

    I woke up this morning to find out that my great uncle (Mom's side. Grandfather's brother) had died from cancer. We all knew he was going to die soon because he started hospice about a month ago, but we didn't know when. I guess it's good in a way because now his suffering is over. I barely...

    The dream topic

    I was having some really damn weird dreams last night. :weird: First, I was at some big house with banana plants. I say plants because they weren't all trees. I don't know how, but somehow, I ended up on a pirate ship and had to take it through town... on a damn road. :eyepop: :pirate: Yes, I...
