Some People Should Never Be Parents

Authorities are searching for the parents of a 3-month-old girl who died last year after her parents allegedly gave her lethal doses of vodka to quiet her crying, police said.

...

The Broward County Medical Examiner's Office determined that the infant had a blood alcohol level of 0.47 percent. The legal limit for drivers in Florida is 0.08 percent.

!!!

What the fuck?!

A bottle of water, sugar and vodka... it's bad enough some people feed their kids sugar water period, but adding substantial amounts of vodka? enough that you can see effects on the liver from prolonged exposure and an insane blood alcohol level? Argh.

Bye Bye Bittorrent?

Hollywood negotiated an agreement Tuesday with the creator of BitTorrent software, popular for downloading pirated movies over the Internet, in a deal aimed at reducing illegal traffic in online films.

The agreement requires 30-year-old software designer Bram Cohen to prevent his Web site, bittorrent.com, from locating pirated versions of popular movies, effectively frustrating people who search for illegal copies of films, according to executives familiar with the deal.

Looks like Bittorrent might be headed the way of Napster?

Anniversary
