3. Q&A with Jane & Max: I Hope You Have Time For This!
This time’s question was sent by VIP Members Alex and Cristina from Sidney, Australia, and so it goes: “Knowing the subjunctive is the only way for someone to express doubt, possibility, or uncertainty in Italian.

CR175 R.I.P. Filesharing?

Oder: Eine kurze Geschichte des dezentralen Datenbackups
Es begann damit, dass begeisterte Kids auf dem Schulhof Disketten tauschten, die von Hand gelocht wurden, um die Kapazität zu vergrößern. So will es zumindest der Mythos.
Vorläufiges Ende der Geschichte ist Stilllegung von Megaupload, einem der bekanntesten Sharehoster überhaupt. Dazwischen hat sich Einiges zugetragen, das wir im aktuellen Chaosradio zusammenfassen wollen.
Welche Daten wurden wann und von wem getauscht? Wer waren die Protagonisten? Was waren die großen Katastrophen und Umbrüche? Wie hat sich die Szene, die Technik und die Rechtsprechung geändert?
Erdgeist und Andreas werden zu Gast im Studio sein, um die Filesharing-Chronik zu erstellen, sich eure Geschichten anzuhören und auch einen kleinen Ausblick in die Zukunft zu wagen.
Denn dass die Titelfrage rhetorisch ist, bedarf wohl keiner langen Diskussion. Die Frage ist nur: Was kommt als Nächstes?
MoreOrLess: Sizing up cities 27 Jan 2012
Which are the world’s biggest cities, and what are their populations? Two simple questions that we discover are surprisingly difficult to answer. Plus, has the world got heavier or lighter since the industrial revolution? It’s a question posed by a More or Less listener that got us wondering, too. Dr Chris Smith, part of a group of Cambridge University researchers, known as the Naked Scientists, reckons he’s worked out the answer. This programme was originally broadcast on the BBC World Service.

How Was Your Week with Julie Klausner, ep. 38
A very good interview with Mike Daisey starts at 46:30. Daisey is a writer and performer whose most recent monologue is called "The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs". I've previously heard some great pieces by him on Studio 360.
Pop-culture-wise, I'm not usually on the same wavelength as Klausner, but when we are, I love it. She also did an interview with Kate Beaton of Hark! A Vagrant (episode 45).
