Mixed News on Wiretapping from 9th Circuit US Court
abb3w writes "The bad news: the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has ruled (pdf) that the Al-Haramain lawyers may not submit into evidence their recollections of the top secret document handed to them detailing the warrantless electronic scrutiny they received. 'Once properly invoked and judicially blessed, the state secrets privilege is not a half-way proposition.' The good news: they have declined to answer and directed the lower court to consider whether 'FISA preempts the common law state secrets privilege' with respect to the underlying nature of the program itself ... which also keeps alive hopes for the EFF and ACLU to make those responsible answer for their actions."
Leopard fucking sucks, because Apple sold out to you PC users. All the interface changes--the ostentatiously translucent menu bar, the flat file folders, the dark gray backgrounds--these all feel like something Microsoft would have shat out. But no, it's apparently Apple's attempt to entice more of you Windows refugees into a community that doesn't want you mouthbreathers anywhere near.
Hope you're fucking happy, you tasteless dweebs. You better make an effort to blend in at Macworld because I'm gonna punch any of you khaki-wearing fratboys I see in the mouth. And I know all the old-school Mac users stand with me on this.
