I’ve been a Skype fan since I started using it a few months ago and have bought some SkypeOut and Skype Voicemail credit already.
Not being much of a traveller, I haven’t used much of my credit, yet, but I can foresee using it much more when I’ll start working from home and traveling more, this summer.
Anyway, I’ve always recommended Skype to everyone, but now that I can make some money doing it, the better. So, I signed up for the Skype Affiliate Program and started by putting a small button in the “Ads” column on the right side here.
If you want to discuss this or anything else, please feel free to Skype me!
On related news: the latest Skype beta for OS X (1.0.0.30) supports multi-user chat. Besides being great for VOIP, Skype is quickly becoming my favourite IM client.
Note to self: remember to buy a new headset with mic to replace the old one that is breaking down.
Here’s a very interesting interview with Richard Dawkins on the subjects of evolution and religion:
Still, so many people resist believing in evolution. Where does the resistance come from?
It comes, I’m sorry to say, from religion. And from bad religion. You won’t find any opposition to the idea of evolution among sophisticated, educated theologians. It comes from an exceedingly retarded, primitive version of religion, which unfortunately is at present undergoing an epidemic in the United States. Not in Europe, not in Britain, but in the United States.
Let’s just hope the new Pope isn’t helping to spread the epidemic to Europe.
(Via Pharyngula .)
This is just too fun to let it pass without a comment. The Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera was able to read the full content of the U.S. Army report regarding the March 4 Baghdad shooting in the course of which Italian secret agent Nicola Calipari was shot dead by U.S. soldiers, including those parts that were blackened out before releasing the report to the public.
How could the clever hackers at Corriere della Sera manage to pull off this trick? Well, simply by selecting the blackened text in Acrobat Reader, copying and pasting into a MS Word document! How cunning!
Here’s a page linking to the original as well as the decoded report.
