Is it actually still region blocked? Comedy Central online worked for me when I was in Indonesia, with lots of ads.

Yes, it's blocked in Canada.
I'm quite aware that Canada has some odd regulations regarding access to foreign media, but I'm somewhat disturbed to learn that we're worse than Indonesia.

Our estimate for the total information processing capability of any system in our Universe implies an ultimate limit on the processing capability of any system in the future, independent of its physical manifestation and implies that Moore’s Law cannot continue unabated for more than 600 years for any technological civilization.

Brought here by this comment, I've been looking for a place to mark down this musing I've had in my head a whole while: Will Eliezer Yudkowsky go on this show to promote his book when it comes out? Should he?
