Of the five flights taken during my trip, none have been at capacity and two have provided me with full rows for myself. The true [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just read two fantastic pieces from the Free Software Foundation. The first, a guest post on TorrentFreak, addresses the question of Why the FSF cares about RIAA lawsuits and is a very insightful view into the dangers involved in the direction that copyright, patent and trademark laws seem to be headed. The second article, [...]]]></description>
