Show notes can be found here: http://bit.ly/leaguenoteone A .mp3 of the show can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/ckmvbrd There were a few hiccups in production (much of them my fault), but I think those can definitely be smoothed out in later shows. Feel free to criticise. And if you'd like...

http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2011/dec/09/uk-isolation-grows-eurozone-treaty I'm not pleased with our government at the moment. The reasoning behind the change to the Lisbon treaty is sound, and in any case more integration with Europe should be welcomed. Cameron is putting bullshit...

Prolescum made us this lovely teaser trailer: More detailed information about the first episode will become available in the next couple of weeks. Remember, we're after your input, peeps. This is and always will be a community-driven project. Especially you, lurkers! I see more than 70 of...

I have a 32-bit version of Windows. Will a 64-bit version of Java work on it? If yes, how do I go about acquiring a 64-bit version? Specifically, I'm trying to play Minecraft in 64-bit Java to get around an annoying crash.

http://np.ironhelmet.com This is an awesome little browser-based RTS game I've come across. You're basically in command of an empire, and you join games that can last anywhere from a few weeks to several months. The game mechanics only allow you to exchange technologies and money. All...

As I'm sure almost everyone must be aware by now, many people on the forum are currently working on reviving the League of Reason Show. If you've somehow managed to avoid noticing this at all, check out The Show subforum for more information. So far, there has been much discussion, including a...

You 'eard: I didn't, in all honesty, care much about the whole potholer54/Amenakin DMCA shitstorm going on until now. This has now become a rather more interesting matter. YouTube apparently doesn't have a legal leg to stand on, so it will be interesting to watch what happens.

Had a discussion today with somebody on my course, who happens to be the first baptist I've ever met. The discussion ended up on miracles, particularly healing miracles. He told me about instances he had personally seen in his church of a woman with a back problem getting up and running, and of...

So, we had the Skype call and it was the most fun thing I've done all week and was not at all awkward. Oh no. :P (Mainly my fault, tbh, as I didn't get it started very smoothly.) The following was decided upon (in a sort of non-committal way, but still): -The first show should be around...

I now live in Derby. Hooray! The irritating thing, however, is that York seems to be the place to be for sceptic type stuff. And that's... impractical, to say the least (wandering around, probably intoxicated, in an unfamiliar city for six hours to catch a train back home is not a good idea for...

In order to move things along and increase the momentum of the project, I proposed a Skype call in the other thread for live brainstorming and setting down more concrete ideas about how we want the show to be run, who wants to be hosts, technical issues etc. To avoid having the organisation of...

Link Anyone else watch them? IMO they're one of the few big-name Youtubers that are frequently genuinely entertaining. In particular, the story-driven, Minecraft-based "Shadow of Israphel" series is something I'm enjoying quite a lot. I admit I do sometimes just click the cross next to their...

It keeps coming up in various places wherever more intellectual sorts of people are involved, but I've never actually been able to get my head around what game theory is. As in, at all. All I know is that it is a mathematical idea and maybe has practical applications in predicting markets and...

Don't take this thread too seriously (please!). It's the early hours of the morning and I'm bored. So whilst eating a bowl of cereal, I try to come up with a system of government that comes as close as reasonably possible to true democracy whilst still being functional. Here is what I came up...

For those who don't know, Dwarf Fortress is basically a sort of ultra-realistic rts (although you can pause and micro-manage things if you like) in which you basically establish a city (usually carved into hills or mountains) populated by dwarves. There is no ultimate goal and chances are you...

Ever seen this series? It was done by the BBC a few years ago. They filmed large parts of it in the "vomit comet" in order to to accurately show zero-gravity. I think it was two or maybe 3 episodes. I don't think it's on YouTube in full, but it is on some documentary sites.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-14811336 Obviously, the die-hard conspiracy nuts won't buy it, but meh, fuck 'em. We have the photo, we win.

As those who follow this will no doubt be aware, the anti-Gaddafi forces captured Az-Zayiwah a few days ago. They are now advancing on Tripoli along three fronts. At the closest point, they are just 30 kilometres (19 miles) from the city. Inside the capital, protesters have taken up arms and now...

I know this has been raised a couple of times in other threads, but AFAIK, there are no threads specifically about this. The Venus Project is one of those things-along with that Zeitgeist film-that seems to be popular amongst nuts of various types. It seems to be striving towards some kind of...

http://english.aljazeera.net/news/americas/2011/07/20117236596254791.html It's been rather overshadowed by the events in Norway... but yeah, this is good news.
