andrewducker- There's a "Right-wingers are less intelligent than left wingers" article in the Daily Mail. For once you _should_ read the comments!
- How Republican opposition derailed SOPA and Protect IP
- An interview with Nick Clegg
- Porn for Pregnant Ladies
- The first page of H.G. Wells’s version of Jeff Wayne’s War Of The Worlds
- A sudden realisation as to why the Republican party hate gay people.
- Darkness, a gorgeous, funny and thoughtful comic (done in 24 hours too!)
- Less than six months until the Europe IPV4 address pool runs out
- A patent attorney's guide to why Apple are in trouble in Germany
- Clearly we need new punctuation
- GMs dicuss what the nerdiest thing theyve ever written into a game design is.
- Ducker's 7th law - ask the hardest, nerdiest question you can think of and someone will instantly answer.
- Why You Won't Quit Your Job
I went through three different jobs where everyone complained, and eventually I left to get a better job, with people saying they'd be right behind me. A couple of years later I'd bump into someone and they were still in the job they hated, complaining all the time, and not doing anything about it.

Date: 2012-02-05 12:45 am (UTC)Incidentally, turn to page 34 and you'll find an article on expanding the boardgame Imperium. Imperium is the GDW boardgame that first introduced what would become the official Traveller setting. The highlight of my Traveller collection is the second copy ever printed of Imperium, signed, authenticated, mint and unpunched.
