Register reports Valve claims Games run FASTER on Linux than Windows. It
may not be the magic bullet, but it is one more brick in the wall. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Did Germany experience rapid industrial expansion in the 19th
century due to an absence of copyright law? A German historian argues that the
massive proliferation of books, and thus knowledge, laid the foundation for the
country's industrial
might.

This latest attack on the DSM-V comes nearly a year after UBC law
professor Joel Bakan delivered a withering exposé in his book Childhood Under Siege: How Big Business Targets
Children.
He cited a study showing that every member of DSM-IV
panels on mood disorders, schizophrenia, and other psychotic disorders had ties
to at least one pharmaceutical company.
Furthermore, Bakan pointed out
that the creator of the modern DSM system, Robert Spitzer, and the researcher
who oversaw the DSM-IV, Allen Frances, believe that the DSM-V "could push
psychiatry even deeper into the arms of the pharmaceutical industry by
including, as it likely will, subthreshold (such as mild
depression) and premorbid (such as prepsychotic)
categories".

The decision by B.C.’s two trial courts to allow in-court tweeting
only by accredited journalists and lawyers smells of judicial
snobbery.There’s no good reason anyone with a legal degree, along with me
and my ilk, should be allowed to fire off email and 140-character notes from a
courtroom while an ordinary joe gets the bum’s rush from the sheriff. The
new policy, effective Sept. 17, is an attempt by the still-archaic provincial
and Supreme Court benches to look more accommodating to the 21st
century. They add it will also inspire greater confidence in the courts as
an essential institution of democracy. I say it will engender the opposite
— the feeling they remain out of touch.
