Borderlands downloadable content was released today. Among its features were new monsters, new areas, new quests and SecuRom. Today's article is a little background on the disgusting software known as SecuRom that to many PC users is equivalent to an STD.

No new COP15 article today in part due to lack of information (also due to lack of time), but it seems that a few groups within Canada are asking for 'ambitious targets'; Alberta happens to be one of them and the others are Canadian Olympians. I can't say I'm surprised that Alberta would say it so publicly, I'll be waiting to see if they respect the targets and don't leech off the success of the emission reduction by provinces such as British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec. Developing nations are split on the issue of legally binding targets; poorer nations want them, but richer developing countries such as India and China don't out of fear that they will curb their economic growth. The BBC, learned today that poorer nations have yet to receive funds promised at Kyoto. Copenhagen organisers are funding projects in bangladesh to offset carbon emissions of the summit. Al Gore granted some interviews in which he disputed 'climategate'. Speaking of climategate, a video has popped up on youtube poking fun at climate sceptics.
