Another Attack on Freedom of Information

Of all the champions of the Freedom of Information movement none can claim to have held the banner quite as high as The Pirate Bay. They have weathered legal storms far greater than anything Napster or even Wikileaks have conjured up yet as i write this The Pirate Bay site is down. In an orchestrated attack, ISPs accross Europe were raided by police. A number of news sites reported that the site was up and running soon after the raids but this does not seem to be the case anymore. It seems like this was a solid effort to put them down for good but i'm sure this is not the last we'll see of The Pirate Bay.

Edit: Guess who's back up ;)

All you will need are the original pk3 files found in your Quake 3 baseq3 folder.

A Profound Understanding of Technology

The rate of technological growth is very predictable and is exponential. To draw a correlation; the Mayan calendar is understood to be a measure of significant technological events with an exponential decrease in interval time. This almost immediately disproves the man-in-the-sky idea of god because once we have successfully reverse engineered the human body we will be able to make vast performance improvements. The predictability of technology also simultaneously proves that there is some kind of divine plan at work. The machines will eventually take over but we won't be separate from them, we will become self-engineered, bio-mechanical, super intelligent beings. The singularity is upon us :D
