A. C. Grayling: [Richard Holloway] falls into the trap of attempting to assert an equivalence between atheists such as Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens (he does not name them) and those he describes as espousers of “strong religion”, those who believe they have a direct line to God and thus know what God wants. He criticises both for the assurance with which they assert their positions. But whereas some of the latter issue and carry out death threats, neither Dawkins nor Hitchins does. They shoot down ideas, the warriors of God shoot down living human beings.

I didn't know about RDF/XML Source Declaration. Looks like something I may pop in to Rena when I add non-conjunctive graphs. 2008-08-19T10:09:58Z
Frances Berriman: What gets me the most is how on Earth is it beneficial for these companies to be so bad? It's not like they get to keep everything they fail to deliver. It costs them more time, more money (petrol, man-hours etc.) and they have companies and customers calling them all the time to ask them why they're so incompetent.

I am a vegetarian, an atheist, like to code in Python and noodle about with microformats and the Semantic Web. I also have a BA in philosophy from London, and am studying for an MA. My philosophical interests are in Victorian-era German philosophy, Kierkegaard, Robert Nozick, hermeneutics and current approaches to the demarcation problem in the philosophy of science. Musically, I like jazz fusion, soul and P-Funk. My musical nirvana would be a mixture of Beethoven, Miles Davis and George Clinton topped with a side-serving of Erykah, Jill and Angie.
I also write for the Citizendium, an online encyclopedia project. If you know about stuff, you should join in.
