It's a tad late, but what gives: Harper's Yearly Review of 2005 is worth a gander.
"A study showed that 310,000 Europeans die from air pollution each year, and the U.N. predicted that 90 million Africans will have HIV by 2025."
"An international task force of scientists, politicians, and business leaders warned that the world has about 10 years before global warming becomes irreversible."
"The total number of American soldiers killed in the Iraq war rose to 2,174, while the total number of Iraqi civilians killed rose to 27,636."
Happy New Year, etc.
Oh yes, I almost forgot: I'm hereby offering copy protection circumvention services in exchange for fresh pineapples. By using a sophisticated representation switchback technique also known as the analog hole I can bypass any nasty music "CD" DRM you may be suffering from. For extra pineapples I can use other techiques too, as long as they are illegal under the new Finnish copyright law.
There. I'm now a criminal. I hope.
