A new respect for Digg
Digg's blog has a post "Digg This: 09-f9-11-02-9d-74-e3-5b-d8-41-56-c5-63-56-88-c0" from one of its owners.
Kevin has taken the step of following the community that he helped build and is effectively telling the HD DVD people he won't silence his community. In today's DRM fight the advocates are facing louder and louder customers who are saying they are tired of DRM. It doesn't help anyone. The people breaking the law in the first place don't care, and the consumer is only hurt because the MPAA keeps trying to stay a step ahead and is seen as greedy when it keeps changing formats.
There are rumors the music industry is starting to catch on. I hope the movie industry will as well. Simply put, your consumers don't want DRM. It's not working. Stop it.

Blog Update: Hello CSS
I have a pet peeve. I spent about 4 years developing web pages that used tables for the layout. This is a no-no in todays CSS world. However the default templates for Blogger almost all use tables for layout. What the Frack? So I had to go to a pure CSS design.
It is bad enough the text editor for posting pages creates some sloppy (X)HTML I don't want if for the site. That said there is some growing pains with the adaptation of new technology. One of them maybe that your browser doesn't see this page correctly. I recommend using Mozilla Firefox. Sure, Internet Explorer 7 is supposed to be faster and some even say it renders faster that Firefox. Well the damn thing should! It's embedded into the OS. It's the difference between kernel level print drivers standard print drivers. Sure it's faster. It just causes a hell of a lot more problems when it breaks.
I digress. The page has changed and I hope for the better. In time Blogger will fix its lack of CSS usable templates, but for right now, mine is better than it was before.

Update: The Great Global Warming Swindle (Complete)
Apparently YouTube or the poster from their site has removed the original video. I'm not entirely surprised. It probably violated some copyright thing. Ah well. I hope it shows in the US. I hear that there are some inaccuracies in the program, but I come to find that of any documentary especially if it is controversial.

The Great Global Warming Swindle (Complete)
When will this air in the US? Who knows but even if it does not you should see it. I find it ironic that the BBC (Essentially owned by the UK government) would show this while the US media hasn't.
I agree with the gentleman who effectively says "Yes, I believe in global warming. No, I don't think it's humans fault." It is an interesting view. However I should note that this doesn't mean we should just start burning forests. You can't look at large cities and their smog problems and say that our clean air is not important. No, I would never go that far. We need to be conscious of health needs of local populations but I think we can stop the hysteria of worrying about the world coming to an end because of global warming.

It's been a while so I shall talk about Liberty.
So I decided to post again. But I shall be posting some quotes.
"Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!" - Patrick Henry
"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams
"From the east to the west blow the trumpet to arms! Through the land let the sound of it flee; Let the far and the near all unite, with a cheer, In defense of our Liberty Tree." - Thomas Paine
