Quick hit with some links

Some NYT wanker "dares" discuss science and gender. Dr. Isis explains why this topic bores her to tears (and pokes giant holes in Tierney's "argument" in the process.) Via Zuska, who also links to Boing Boing with more links on the subject.

A dad writes about his four-year-old son playing GTA. It's kind of cute, actually.

People are asking the wrong questions in talking about the societal effects of the porn industry.

Heading back to the US tomorrow, should be home around 10 pm. I think DFS is picking us up; that's the plan as I heard it, anyway. Time to start organizing my suitcase and trying to shove everything inside.

German scientists on dropping the bomb

Totally unrelated to your post, but here's a link I thought you might enjoy:

http://www.aip.org/history/heisenberg/p11a.htm

The US captured a bunch of German physicists and put them all together in a bugged house during the war. The transcripts weren't declassified until the mid 1990's. The link above is them reacting to the news that the US dropped the bomb on Japan.

I thought you might enjoy it for your research. There's links at the bottom of that page I linked to, to more information.
