The folks running thepiratebay.com are an interesting lot. With the changing Swede copyright law, they moved their operation to another country. The tone of this post is typical of their attitude. They run the largest and most interesting bit torrent site.

It's an amazing example of how the Internet has turned things upside down. When I was at the University of Houston in 1994 the director of the School of Communication didn't think the Internet was important, even as I walked past posters on old buildings advertising some Sega product. Why is that important? Those posters had the first example of printed commercial media bearing a URL I had ever seen. 14 years later look where we are. Yeah, the Internet sure isn't important.

Colorado ponders lowering the drinking age. It amazes me that politicans waste time on issues like this.  If this becomes law, maybe all of the illegals flooding into their state will enjoy the easier access to booze. Maybe thay'll draw some of them out of Texas.
