Limbo of the Copyright and Adventures in Fair Use

Slashdots coverage of the Limbo of the Lost controversy has yielded some really interesting linkfodder. Steve Bovis is apparently a real world class idiot and has taken up the banner in his own name. His lawyer (solicitor) has advised him to keep quiet but it’s pretty obvious he’s proud of his own invention and thinks [...]

Colonization

God, game resurrection from nowhere. As I was browsing SMART update at work, I decided to check in the games section just to see what was around.
I found FreeCol, a remake of Colonization in java. There’s a precompiled version on there which you should use if you don’t want to put up with the JAR. [...]

Powerline has a really interesting take on the price of oil. What it basically boils down to (complete with a chart I won’t steal), the windfall tax thing is a total sham. Obama didn’t even see fit to show up for a vote on the “tax the oil companies more” legislation he touted.
If we want [...]

Hillary and Obama

My take on the whole nomination thing is that if Hillary and Obama can put together a joint-ticket, they would be in the whitehouse tomorrow. The problem is twofold – Obama won’t accept backseats to Hillary (and looks like he wants another minority running mate) and Hillary doesn’t want backseats to Obama. Then the DNC [...]
