The only reference to law enforcement in the letter concerns the FTC's own actions against businesses that violate privacy laws. Have they taken a position somewhere else regarding law enforcement agency access to data in the cloud?
How does this help? Well, it'll help the wind turbine industry.
"Oh, you don't like our hundred foot windmill because the blades are ugly and whooshy and hurt little birds? No problem. We'll just put one of these babies in your back yard."
My SPF records have gotten me un-blacklisted a few times, after I've pointed out that those machines in Brazil weren't authorized to send email from my domains. But I think DomainKeys, DKIM, etc. will make eventually make SPF unnecessary.
How about this. It's completely acceptable to no-one, but would allow the blind access to digitized books: Any work can be played by a synthesized voice on readers owned by the blind, until such time as a licit spoken version is available from the publisher. This would give the publisher an incentive to release audible versions read by the author/professional reader, while allowing the blind access until that time (should it ever come, which in the case of most books, it won't).
My first real job was "telegrapher/operator" for a railroad, working nights at an interlocking tower. We still had a working telegraph system, though they were no longer in actual use. When an old-timer at another tower told me he'd be happy to converse in Morse with me, I went out and bought a used Vibroplex bug with a shorting switch, and a paper tape driven thing called an Instructograph for practice. Within a year I was fast and accurate.
Unfortunately, what I learned was American Morse through a telegraph sounder. Later, when I tried to learn CW, I had to clear two hurdles. The minor one was hearing beeps not clicks. The major one was the different alphabet. I was continually reverting to Am. Morse when sending. Never did get very good at it.
But if land-line telegraphy ever makes a comeback, I'm all set.
There's a longish article about Psystar's Robert & Rudy Pedraza in this week's Miami New Times, published before the verdict. They were expecting to win.
I suppose it's logistically infeasible, but a true trimestral school year would keep students within 4 months of their peers. Of course, it would also kill summer vacation, so...
Nevada would be a good place to start. Their cutoff dates are 5 by 9/30 for K, 6 by 9/30 for 1st grade. Period. No exceptions. It would be interesting to follow a group of kids born in September and October through the system and see what (if any) patterns emerge.
The age cutoff for entry to kindergarten seems to cycle around mid-September, but varies quite a bit from state to state. But in general, a kid born in the winter will have to wait longer to start school.

I've never had problems with gmail. It's smaller providers/businesses that don't use DK or SPF that have given me problems.

Until they go all Murdoch on us, you can always try Google's cache.
For better or worse, there's one in pre-production. Lots of IMDB message board comments.
...and the leaders of Bongo Congo are King Leonardos!

Now I'm worried. If this guy couldn't install it, what chance does anybody else have?
I'd love to see how they deal with M. C. Escher.
Why not follow the link from the article and decide for yourself?
I agree. Outsourcing is just plain wrong.
This McClatchy investigation suggests otherwise.
Einstein is no. 9 on Forbes magazine's list of top-earning dead celebrities, nestled between Dr. Seuss and Michael Crichton.
Maybe it was this law school professor, who "holds three doctorates."
Well, he does seem to have discovered Weather Underground's logo.
Thank you for all your hard work, and thanks for declining to open the NONE cipher can-of-worms.
Please consider buying one or more of their so-ugly-they're-cute T-shirts.
Ah, I think you're right. I was assuming a V8.
Seriously, can anyone see an engine in the BelAir?
