Erdos Had The Number First

I’ve found one thing I really like about living in Northern Viginia.
And that one thing is that you can order Papa John’s Pizza online. I know, I’ve set the bar very low,
but I’m still afraid of the fact that I live in the South.

I just found this site The Pirate Bay (http://www.piratebay.com). I’m not linking to it for obvious legal reasons. And, really, I don’t support piracy. Even though I think the current crop of IP laws are crap, I still believe in the Rule of Law.
However, looking at their inventory isn’t breaking any laws. Their inventory is a surprise.

First, I figured it would all be porn. But it’s not. I was more than a little surprised that the O.C. made the top 100 downloads. i mean, I like the show a lot, but who knew it would be a favorite amongst downloaders.

The site is all BitTorrent too, which makes me think it won’t be around long. BT is not a good choice for real piracy since it
isn’t all that good at preserving anonymity.

Instapundit posted this This article about how Amazon has gotten into the adult toy buisness. This begs the following questions:

1. Who found this?
2. Does this mean Amazon is off the the OK list of conservative america?
3. Amazon sells WHAT?

It’s true, search amazon, you’ll find it. It’s probably not safe for work to do this, however. On closer inspection, Amazon is not
actually selling any of this murchendise. it’s providing the ‘Amazon Store’ thing for other vendors. Still interesting, none the less.

This guy is high if he thinks that other countries are not trying to develop space based weapons. The weaponization of
space is going to happen. In fact, it’s already happeneing. He notes that the Russians and the Chinese have applied diplomatic
pressure to the US to try to prevent space-based weapons. Of course they are. They don’t have the capability
to do guns in the sky yet, but the Chinese are working it.

I will agree with him that the space debris problem is very real. I just don’t think any of the terrestrial militaries care that much. And if he thinks there isn’t a space arms race already in progress he’s mistaken. It’s already happening, it’s just a really quiet race.
