Nerd News: SOPA thoughts BitTorrent vs Netflix
As my regular readers know I am a big fan of ars, and perhaps even bigger fan of the comments section of ars, they cover a lot of Nerd News, and I have learned a lot from reading them.
Today I read an ars article that covers an arguement I have heard before, that a lot of Pirating is because it is hard to buy legit products, I think that vastly oversimplifies the issue. But there is some truth to the argument.
I know from book industry that Baen publishing, one of the first if not the first Book Publisher of any size to do Ebooks has been very successful with their plan.
Baen has never used DRM, heck in certain Hardcover books every year they include a CD with a whole bunch of free Ebooks. They even offer a free Ebook library http://www.baen.com/library/
I found the ars article worth reading, they actually provided some numbers on Netflix vs BitTorrent and others http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2012/01/forget-sopa-copyright-owners-must-build-a-better-bittorrent.ars
And as always the comment section was worth reading http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2012/01/forget-sopa-copyright-owners-must-build-a-better-bittorrent.ars?comments=1#comments-bar

Some Korean to English words from SC2trans
SC2 K-E Translations from http://sc2trans.tumblr.com/helpfullist you should follow them on Twitter at https://twitter.com/#!/SC2trans

What Does That Mean?
below from SC2trans, with permission, <333:
What Does That Mean?
* Hyung (형) - older brother. This is what guys call guys who are older than they are.
* Nuna (누나) - older sister. This is what guys call women who are older than they are.
* Dongsaeng (동생) - little brother/little sister. Sometimes older people will refer to younger people like this, but not always.
* keke (ㅋㅋ) - this is a laughing sound, kind of like hehe or lol. Another variation is ㅎㅎ, like haha or lol.
* name-ie (ㅇㅇㅇ이) - just a cuter way of saying someone’s name, like Junghoon would become Junghoonie, or Jaedeok hyung would become Jaedokkie hyung.
* name-ah (ㅇㅇㅇ아) - similar to the above, this is how friends call each other, or older people call younger people. In a way it’s kind of like “Hey, (name).” - Minchul-ah is kind of like “Hey, Minchul”. Younger people wouldn’t say this to older people.
* title-nim (ㅇㅇㅇ님) - adding “nim” onto the end of a title, like Yohwan hyung-nim, makes it more respectful.
* Fighting (화이팅) - Koreans often use the term “Fighting” to mean like “good luck” or “you/we can do it!”

Nerd News: SOPA list of Supporters and Opposition
Found this source today, from my preliminary checking they seem legit, though I am not sure what biases they might have.
This link http://www.opencongress.org/bill/112-h3261/money provides a list of groups that support and that oppose SOPA.
There is a lot more information available on OpenCongress.
