Slashdot Mirror
Senator Hollings and the SSSCA
An Anonymous Coward writes: "You probably suspected some sort of "follow the money" thing was behind Sen. Fritz Hollings' support of SSSCA, the draft bill that would make using 'any interactive digital device that does not include and utilize certified security technologies' illegal in the U.S. This proposed law could effectively outlaw Linux and most Open Source software, depending on how judges interpret it. A NewsForge story details where Sen. Hollings' money comes from. Guess what? His biggest contributors are entertainment industry companies, their lawyers, and their lobbyists. The story also says Hollings and his staff refused to comment on the bill, and staffers the reporter talked to refused to even give their names." Newsforge and Slashdot are both part of VA Linux.

Those damned terrorists just took out the Empire State Building and Sears towers! The Empire State Building is still standing but the Sears went down 35 minutes after it was hit. There are also reports of a gas attack on Boston. Another plane was shot down on its way to the capital.
Yahoo has the terrible details here.
*** UPDATE ***
It seems the Empire State building has finally collapsed! Fire and medical officials are afraid to go in after authorities received threats of anthrax bombs in the plane! Over 25,000 dead in Boston!!
*** WE ARE AT WAR PEOPLE!! ***

You know? I hate to say I told you so, but "I TOLD YOU SO!"
To the goober who said, "there has never been any conclusive evidence to support...blah blah blah" STUFF IT! It's right there in your face. This legislation was brought to you by the conspirators of the MPAA, the RIAA and the DVDCCA. It's sick. It's one-sided. It's heavy-handed. It's dangerous. I prevents non-commercial interests from creating whatever they want. It restricts creative interests!! Who would have thought that? Restrictions in being creative??
Where does the insanity end? It's completely un-American.
