Drug shortages hit record level, says FDA - Jun. 10, 2011 -- Okay, this is BS.
Simple solution: if a company is willing to create a shortage in the market on a drug because it's unprofitable, that means they automatically lose all patents they hold on that drug, and must allow the government to take over their production line for that drug to continue it's production until they can replace it, with all profits going to the government.
There, problem solved.

XKCD on Number of Moon Landers
The image itself is depressing, but the hover text is AWESOME:
"The universe is probably littered with the one-planet graves of cultures which made the sensible economic decision that there's no good reason to go into space--each discovered, studied, and remembered by the ones who made the irrational decision."

Food For The Eagle
Adam Savage put up his explanation of why he is an atheist. Interesting angle to take on the discussion, and worth the read.

Welcome home Discovery
Welcome home, Discovery. You made us proud.
STS-133 was the 39th and final flight for OV-103 Discovery, which spent 365 days in space, orbited Earth 5,830 times and traveled 148,221,675 miles. She is the oldest of the remaining shuttle fleet, holds the record for highest altitude for a space shuttle, and was the shuttle launched for every return to flight from a shuttle accident.
Discovery carried the following major payloads to orbit during her career: TDRS 3, 4 and 7, Hubble, Ulysses, the Z1 truss, Harmony node, Kibo lab, S6 tuss, PMM node and serviced Hubble twice.

Slashdot Your Rights Online Story | Software Now Un-patentable In New Zealand. New Zealand, I am SO proud of you. I am glad that someone finally realized just how stupid software patents really are.
Good job!
