I find the threading of your comments section rather confusing, mike.
It’s standard WordPress 2.7+ threading. You’ll see more and more of it as WordPress blogs upgrade to the latest version.
If you have any ideas on how to improve it, please do email them to me.
Made a mistake in my math.
The NTC stands to reap 52 BILLION pesos a year from this sort of policy.
Whoa. That’s a lot of money for the right to post stuff.

Hello, Mike. What’s the latest on this issue? Any news coming out of the hearing? Thanks
They canceled the hearing at the last minute. They said it needed “further study”.

How not to trigger a mass blog and micro-blog activism? :p
Sino bang tongresman ang author nito at masapak lang hanggang dumugo ang mukha.
Palagay ko matandang tongresman ito na nag mamarunong sa computer.
Hayop na yan. Baka html lang hindi alam niyang hayop na yan eh.
Bwisit kaya ang Pilipinas naghihirap dahil sa mga hayop at tanga tongresman na mga yan eh.
Umuusok talaga ako sa galit eh.
This government is in its most fucked-up form. Sarap paguntogin ang mga ulo ng mga nasa pwesto! Can’t they think of anything good to do? Where will the money from all the license go? Of course to their pockets.
