One of the few things I really miss from Windows is the "New File" contextual menu from Windows Explorer. If you miss this too, NuFile is an extension that lets you define some templates for this function. Super-useful. 

Danny Ayers has been working on using Python to merge queries from multiple SPARQL endpoints. 

PZ has a nice giggle at the expense of H. Allen Orr's critique of Dawkins: "We have entire schools dedicated to writing learned treatises on the beauty of the Emperor's raiment, and every major newspaper runs a section dedicated to imperial fashion; Dawkins cavalierly dismisses them all... Dawkins arrogantly ignores all these deep philosophical ponderings to crudely accuse the Emperor of nudity." If you want things a little less satirical, Jason Rosenhouse picks up some really appealing looking tinder and sets light to Orr's ridiculous criticisms. Orr is obviously playing the professional contrarian card, as anyone who writes for the mainstream media does every so often (perhaps it's a union requirement). Interesting must beget truth every time. What's sad is that there are valid criticisms of Dawkins, but the people reviewing him are always unable to elucidate them - because they're not interesting for the ordinary reader!
