    Welcome to the age of social media on the internet, where not only does stuff *not* stay secret for long, it spreads faster and farther than ever before,

  12. Might as well just rename it on UK Government Seeks New Web Censorship Powers · · Score: 1

    the Interlink ala V for Vendetta. It still amazes me that the people of Great Britain allow their government to use the works of George Orwell as instruction manuals.

    Any day now, we'll start to read about all the economic and environmental advantages of monitoring residential wastewater streams.

  25. Idiot Juries on Inside England and Wales' DNA Regime · · Score: 4, Insightful

    that think any DNA evidence presented is absolute, pure, handed-down-from-god-almighty proof of guilt are a big part of the problem. Especially if you have a giant, tailor-made repository of DNA already harvested from 'The Usual Suspects' to help 'solve' those pesky cases that stand in the way of pay raises, big promotions, or running for political office on a law and order platform. Just sprinkle your handy sample of pre-collected DNA liberally at that stone-cold-whodunit crime scene and announce "Hey, look what I found!".
