MY commentary on Moors
http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/6469/medmoorsjw5.jpg
During the medieval period, Moor became a common term to refer to the Muslims of Islamic Iberian Peninsula and North Africa, who were of Arab or Berber descent. The name remains associated with the Muslims of Spain even today, despite being archaic and inaccurate, as it lumps Muslim and non-Muslim Arabs, Berbers and other Africans together, sometimes even with Iberian Muslims. In Spanish, the continued use of the cognate, moro, is considered by many to be racist; in English, the term has only historical contexts, with no proper present-day referent.

A buddy of mine from Law School set up a co-op ISP that is totally open. He's a good guy, he did a lot of work for the EFF.

I'd like to hear the legal aspects when somebody dl's kiddie porn via a shared connection. Who's responsible - the owner of the network? And edit, what the **** on the 3 pages on that bike.

I'm pretty sure the owner of the network would be investigated, but once you can show that you didn't dl it, then you'd be ok. I mean they don't have rights to sue Bell because someone on Sympatico downloads it.
It's too early in the morning to start talking law. Oh right, I'm at the office so I better start thinking law! :)

I take it you missed the all-caps, bolded, bright red warning last time I posted something that wasn't safe for work? Don't worry, I'll give you fair warning if it's inappropriate content for work, etc.

Yeah, but I'm a student, so I don't mind NSFW content.. I meant more like "not requiring eye bleach" safe :P

Hutz: And so, ladies and gentleman of the jury I rest my case.
Judge: Hmmm. Mr. Hutz, do you know that you're not wearing any pants?
Hutz: DAAAA!! I move for a bad court thingy.
Judge: You mean a mistrial?
Hutz: Right!! That's why you're the judge and I'm the law-talking guy.
Judge: You mean the lawyer?
Hutz: Right.

Yeah, I was considering getting one.. although I'm not sure what I'd use it on since it's technically a bmx saddle. Probably not so comfortable for actually sitting on. :P
They're made by fi'zi:k.

Anyone here know the guy who used to work at Bikes on Wheels and now has his own shop in Kensington? Andrew? I want to get hold of him if possible.

The bikes on Wheels guy is Shannon. I'm not sure where he is now though, I didn't know he had a new place.
In other news I got an email from Eoin. I think he wants to make peace. I don't blame him... I'm not sure whether or not to post the email, because he chose to email and not post and like I said it is actually pretty nice.

Does anyone have any experience with HEPA filters? My gf tends to get sick in her condo when she has to start recycling the air, rather than having a window open. So I was thinking for Christmas that might be a useful gift. Any thoughts on brands etc?
