Judges Challenge IP Wiretap Rules
WebHostingGuy writes to mention an MSNBC article on an appeals panel harshly challenging the Bush administration's wiretap policies. New rules from the FCC would make it easier for police and FBI agents to wiretap IP-based phone conversations. From the article: "At [one] point in the hearing, Edwards told the FCC's lawyer that his arguments were 'gobbledygook' and 'nonsense.' The court's decision was expected within several months. In an unrelated case last year affecting digital television, two of the same three judges determined the FCC had significantly exceeded its authority and threw out new government rules requiring anti-piracy devices in new video devices. Lewis was also the losing lawyer in that case, and Edwards also was impassioned then in his criticisms of the FCC."
They had so much to live for, but now they're all about to die soon in mysterious accidents. Let's hope the widows receive hams or something.

You know, he's a damn activist judge who's putting pesky rights and fruity ideals in the way of keeping the nation safe for obese children and their fear-stricken parents.
Blar.
Jon Stewart: Tonight, our focus is on Television! Today, the FCC wanted to impose the same decency standards that apply to broadcast television as they do to cable.

Jon Stewart: To which many people said, "Uh, f*ck that guy!".
(Yes, the "*" is added for irony.)
Developers: We can use your help.

Sure you can: I <3 Judge Edwards!
try { do() || do_not(); } catch (JediException err) { yoda(err); }
For those of you wondering how he did that (and I know there's a lot of you out there):
instead of '<', use:
& lt;
(minus the space)
Minus the space...bah! ... now there's no need to minus a space.
to get "<" use "&lt;"
strike again!
Edwards told the FCC's lawyer that his arguments were 'gobbledygook' and 'nonsense.'
Not "jibberjabber" and "poopycock"?
Oh, say does that Star-Spangled Banner entwine / The myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's vine?
And to get "&amp;lt;" use "&amp;amp;lt;"
