Submission + - PayPal freezes the assets of wikileaks.org (twitter.com)

"Paypal has as of 23rd of January 2010 frozen WikiLeaks assets. This is the second time that this happens. The last time we struggled for more than half a year to resolve this issue. By working with the respected and recognized German foundation Wau Holland Stiftung we tried to avoid this from happening again — apparently without avail."
Hopefully we can pressure PayPal to resolve this quickly, since this seems like a dangerous political decision.

Very simple technique where you use a kitchen timer to focus hard for 25 minutes in a row. Works great!

Comment Why not sponsor Scala? (Score 1) 187
Scala is a JVM based language that has good features for working well with multiple cores (Actors, immutable collections, functional language, etc), so why not sponsor it?
