Tarjouspyyntö www.kuvalauta.fi -sivuston hostaamisesta
Kuvalautaa ajettiin alas eilen. Sain yllämainitun tarjouspyynnön sähköpostitse. Jälkiviisaana voin todettaa että viestiä olisi kannattanut julkaista pääsivustoni blogissa – linkki keräsi eilen yli 3700 sivulatausta.

Okay, so it’s Valleywag, but here’s a supposed Wikileaks/Assange/Rape police report leak
“The Daily Mail has managed to secure a copy of the police report detailing Julian Assange’s alleged molestation of two Swedish women. Inside, we learn that Assange’s preferred method of seducing groupies is to feed them cheese.”
I’ve refrained from posting anything on Assange’s sex life, waiting for the dust to settle and the fun to begin. Not that rape or confused charges thereof are fun.
But you see, while we still might want to wait for sources more modest on the tackiness scale than Valleywag, it’d be ironically unsurprising for rumours regarding characters like Assange’s to point towards symptoms of an inflated ego and attitude problems about safe sex.

Why nobody likes nerds, and why you’re justified in hating them
Strong flame-bait language, hilarious generalization and face-palm inducing deduction. So why am I posting this? Trust me, I have first hand, personal experience with nerdiness, and parts of this text reflect some of my insights.
Bullying is not cool, though. Let people be themselves and they might not be so nerdily defensive about avoiding growing up.
And growing up is key. Why would you expect grown-up behavior from ultra nerds who didn’t really fit in where they were expected to learn to deal with people?

Virtual reality tackles tough questions
Virtual reality is allowing scientists to ask difficult questions about human behaviour that were previously not possible or were thought too unethical.
A Spanish team has designed a trial that allows men to step inside the body of a woman subjected to violence. Meanwhile scientists in London are simulating a controversial experiment from the 1960s in which people were persuaded to inflict pain on others.
