There once was a dick joke that was offensive, It caused laughter that was extensive. A woman raised a stink, a man responded, "Well put it in the pink!" The resulting lawsuit was expensive.
Officials told The Daily Beast that a potential downside of the agency’s relinquishing control of the program was the loss of a decade of expertise that the CIA has developed since it has been prosecuting its war in Pakistan and beyond.
Yeah, they've been doing a real bang-up job so far.
Man who claims he posed as an underage minor for "privacy" protections is now in a lot of legal trouble. More details on what charges he faces and what you can do to protect your kids at 11.
Ableman v. Booth was a famous case where even the own authority of the federal courts were questioned, not by a southern state court but by Wisconsin! The Wisconsin Supreme Court didn't recognize the federal court's authority and let a guy who helped fugitive slaves to escape into Canada to evade US law enforcement. But the US Supreme Court, in their infinite wisdom, came to the brilliant conclusion that they were supreme.
The worst part of this is Facebook nixed RSS for Pages a while back. It really pissed me off as I now have to have an account to keep up on businesses/musicians/organizations I follow that post exclusive or more in-depth content on their FB pages.
Netvibes is a good alternative that has a "Reader" mode plus a widget mode. However one thing I noticed with both Google Reader and especially Netvibes is it can choke and become sluggish with several thousand unread items in my browser.
As far as native clients go in Linuxland, Liferea is a maturing and blazingly fast GTK client that suits my needs.
Property rights of the individual or a corporation? Somehow I don't think the Lockean / Enlightenment natural rights philosophy of life/liberty/property ever was intended to recognize a corporation has these rights. If corporations are declared people on a global scale, the individual is fucked.
The article explains that the application works like this: you have to start off by IDing your friend to it. It then analyzes the clothing they're wearing and their dimensions. When you want to look for them, it scans for a match, and picks out the person (or what could potentially be the person) for you.
I'll need to see the source code to be sure, and this is only the first generation of these glasses.
Letting them watch cable television is abuse. Watching some good documentaries and educational programming might actually get them out enjoying life but actually enriching it. But hey, if you want your kid to be fat redneck loudmouths who hawk over storage containers and pawning the desperate, so be it. I for one, welcome a Jeremiah Cornelius content network.
With nationwide public hotspot networks appearing (the payphone hotspots come to mind) it's trivial with wifi radios to keep tabs on clients making probe requests for networks, and can be far more accurate in pinpointing and tracking a device's location in real time.

Nice try Ron Paul.
I believe that's if you want analytics data.

Honestly, it sounds liberating to avoid the middle man who can not only censor your feeds but track what you read.

Issue sanctions? Stop it, it hurts to laugh.
The Patriot Act targets hackers just as much as it does terrorists.
Let's see them try to block SSH and have a functioning internet.
It's all voodoo.

I'd love to help any way I can.
Imagine future incantations of this that could put an overlay of flesh over clothing simulating everyone you're looking at as being nude in real time.
And I can't hit a guy with glasses when he continues to stare at me. We're screwed.

Maybe some budget sequestration too? "Terrorism" funding is the DHS cash cow.
