  • Joe Biden's pro-RIAA, pro-FBI tech voting record
    "By choosing Joe Biden as their vice presidential candidate, the Democrats have selected a politician with a mixed record on technology who has spent most of his Senate career allied with the FBI and copyright holders" - Presumably he's there to appeal to the GOP swing voters though - it's not like people concerned by these issues will find much solace in McCain.
  • Caring for Your Introvert
    "Do you know someone who needs hours alone every day? Who loves quiet conversations about feelings or ideas, and can give a dynamite presentation to a big audience, but seems awkward in groups and maladroit at small talk? Who has to be dragged to parties and then needs the rest of the day to recuperate? Who growls or scowls or grunts or winces when accosted with pleasantries by people who are just trying to be nice?"
  • Bank holiday
    Today is a Bank Holiday in the UK, so I'll not be working (apologies if you expected me for anything).
  • Manual, no reply to that ticket yet.

I don't think Joe Biden's there to set policy, you know? He's there to attack McCain.

I think that's what I said. However, given Obama's recent showing on related issues, I think Biden's selection is also an indicator that those of use with a concern for digital freedoms have a problem developing.

So Simon - are you an introvert?

Not fatally, but yes, Dave.
