I've mentioned Simon Singh in previous Friday Links. He's the Brit who wrote in an article that the claims made by the British Chiropractic Association were nonsense. He's right, of course, but British law says that when they sued for libel Singh has to prove his case. He's now won the right to appeal. [link]
Here's his original article. [link]

Once Catholic the church considers you Catholic until you leave or are excommunicated. But getting your name off the books isn't easy, as this guy has discovered. [link]

The adaptation of "The Hogfather" was lacking something. The adaptation of "The Colour of Magic" was better than the book. I'm very excited to see this adaptation of Terry Pratchett's "Going Postal".

I recently mentioned a school that cancelled prom because a lesbian student wanted to bring a date. Now the school had the prom with her, her girlfriend, and a few students with learning difficulties. The rest went to a parent organized prom. [link]
The bigoted students even started a Facebook group called "Constance quit yer cryin" to insult her.
Now Canada has a Catholic child rapist scandal. Seems the church protected the children by sending the pedophiles off to work with the natives (i.e. eskimoes). With no money, power, or police to protect them the priests could do anything and did. [link]
Interesting tidbit: in A.D. 305 the Catholic Church permanently excommunicated pedophiles.

Sony is going to remove a feature from PS3s. It doesn't really matter to me, but Sony? You'll sell more systems if people can hack them into something else than you would by fighting them. Instead of making it harder you should tell them more about how it works to make it easier to modify. [link]
