“Some ISPs are blocking all BitTorrent traffic, because BitTorrent can be used to share files in a piratical way. Hollywood lobbying groups are trying to pass laws which would force ISPs to block or degrade BitTorrent traffic, too. Personally, I think this is like closing down freeways because a bank robber could use them to get away.”

ReplyDeleteQ2) Astronomers announced the discovery of dwarf planet, Eris: on 29th July, 2005. What’s the name of Eris’ moon? Dysnomia (It seems Eris was initially informally called Xena, so they called the moon Gabrielle. And according to the article it seems the planet was identified in January but not officially announced until later. Funnily enough the main character in my YA series, Pink, at the very end of the book, nearly, during a fancy dress party, is dressed as Xena. Ah, and the book is published tomorrow.)
