Phil notes that Scott Adams not only produces Dilbert toons of uneven quality, he also shills for the loathsome Business Software Alliance, a Microsoft front that uses paid informants and automated takedown notices to censor the Internet and cook up fake numbers on "piracy losses" that treat every single unpaid-for software install as a lost sale at full retail (yes, they also do some legit license-enforcement, and aren't as unreasonable as the entertainment industry, but their methodologies are still unforgivably unsavory).

(Thanks, Phil!)
I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
