I've heard (but can't remember where) that Foie Gras geese don't need to be force-fed. If you give them an unlimited supply of food they will happily do the job themselves. Apparently some artisan Foie Gras producers in Gascony use that method. Would that meet people's ethical standards?

I miss Mark. And Droid.

Sociopathy and psychopathy are technically the same thing, at least from a psychology point of view. The difference is what you believe the causes of the abnormal behaviour are - psychopaths are people who are born with neurological defect of some kind, whereas sociopaths are people who's...

I use Dreamhost too, for work - they've always been very quick to respond to questions/complaints, and loads of space and bandwidth for not very much money. Also think that they're a worker owned co-operative, and as Wikipedia notes they are "unusually transparent about their business...

The consensus among most researchers now, I would say, is that MDMA is neurotoxic - although what dosages and levels of exposure would make a functional, measurable difference in humans is anyone's guess. It's been extensively shown in rats, and to a lesser extent in primates. Olney's lesions...

Now go and buy the spangly purple 12" on the 26th, kids... ;)

For a limited time... http://rapidshare.com/files/70122518/Hustler__Shackleton_Remix_.mp3

http://www.thedailyswarm.com/swarm/my-bloody-valentine-live-dates/ Managed to get a ticket for Manchester... London all sold out waaaay to quick.

It was pretty damn crowded, it must be said. Emptied out later by the time Weatherall was on. It was quite a joy to see Gerald with a big grin on his face tweaking a 303 over extended periods though..

No, it was a white bordered square, with a grid of mono pixels viewable from both sides, so when he held it up the audience cold see what was happening. Pixels moved up and down, waves spread out from points - I couldn't work out if it was a touch sensitive screen or there were other controls...

I think that the problem might stem more from software than hardware in the ipod itself (leaving aside the quality of the headphones). My somewhat limited understanding is that the encoders itunes uses (both mp3 & aac) are not particularly good quality, and you can bet most people aren't even...

Anyone else go to this? I thought they were pretty good, quite hypnotic at times. I liked Massey's graphic sequencer/controller thing, maybe I'm just easily impressed by flashing lights... ;) Curious as to what it is, if anyone knows. Bit too crowded though.

Drawings of what appears to be minors engaging in sexual acts are not illegal in the UK yet. There is move to make them so - http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/documents/cons-2007-depiction-sex-abuse I've no idea if Alan Moore's book does contain such images - if it does though, you could be...

Cheers - I can't take any credit, I just posted it up for a friend. Those tracks are pretty early sketches, but different enough to be worth sharing I thought. Updated to a rapidshare link as I've caned my yousendit bandwidth.

30 minute mix by Lord Skywave. Comments/feedback very welcome, especially on the two vocal Lord Skywave tracks... http://rapidshare.com/files/50355225/lord_skywave_dubstep_mix.mp3 Benga & Walsh - Bingo Jack Sparrow - Blackout Lord Skywave - my name is Lord Skywave MRK 1 - Ready for love...

Sorry - the Shackleton remix is of "Hustler" and is out in Oct/Nov. I'll post an mp3 as soon as possible.

Metatool use by New Caledonian Crows Language, blah blah... technology is more interesting, and these chaps are catching up fast: http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2007/aug/17/1

Not everyone though.. certain types of people. The classic experiment is the one with two decks of cards, with randomised cards giving you monetary bonuses or penalties. One deck is stacked so that the odds are such that over time, you will get a steady increase in money. The other deck gives...
