Numerous writers on SlashDot have stated that they will move out of the USA because Bush has increasingly trampled on civil rights: e.g., the right to privacy. Recently, Bush has announced that law enforcement can, at its discretion, open your mail to read it. There... fixed it for ya.
Not all the politicians and people in DC agree with everything that Bush does, so don't label the group as a whole because one (or several, granted) of its members is being stupid.
Granted, it's been a while since I've flown anywhere, but since when did the airlines start offering a choice of meals that could *ever* reflect any tendencies of a person besides the airlines being cheap? ("Salad or chicken, sir?")
Otherwise, I thought USA is governed by President, Representatives and Senate. The only Library that had government power was in the japanese anime "Read or Die" and that was the British Library. Who is a library to decide what can be hacked? That is a matter of legislation, reserved for the authority of elected officials only.The Library of Congress houses the U.S. Copyright Office. Thus, the current Librarian of Congress had the Copyright office pass the following regulation: Exemption to Prohibition against Circumvention. They did so with the authority given to them in Title 17 of the US Code Section 1201(a)(1)(C). So yes, they were within their legal bounds... too bad it only lasts for 3 years though.
In a purely technical point of view, what's the difference between being allowed to break the lock on your cell phone to enjoy its use to the fullest extent, and say, breaking the lock on your music to use it to its fullest extent? After all, you still paid for both.
Furthermore, this is university research. Over 95% of it is paid for with public money- money given to them by government grants. If the public is already paying for it, the public should have full benefits of the discovery.
Okay... even if your figure of 95% is correct, let me ask you this question: Where does the money for the government grants come from? Last time I checked, citizens of Africa weren't paying our taxes.
I hope I'm not alone in this, but I for one would like to say "Thanks" to Jimmy Wales, and all that he and Wikipedia has done to help advance the internet, modern knowledge, and in particular, the life of this college student.
Thank You

It's quite simple, really. Face of the internet without censorship: :-)

Similarly (as con is the opposite of pro), the rules of the English language literally state that congress is the opposite of progress.
Grrr.... I keep wanting to reply to your comment, but slashdot keeps telling me I'm logged out!
There is currently ongoing research as to how to most effectively destroy the planet:

Well.. they used to be reel-based, but most have since switched to digital.

You show me a chef trained using the Wii and I'll show you a severe case of food poisoning.
Surely you've heard of the phrase "Don't mess with Texas.", right? Heh.. it's there for a reason.
Isn't applying a coat of black paint easier?

So would downloading the keylogger count as a breach in the company's acceptable use policy, therefore warranting them an actual pink slip?
When in doubt, head to Wikipedia
