Second, if you wanted to stop it, why didn't you do this a year ago? Now is probably a bit late.

This petition didn't exist a year ago, it went live on the first of this month. I personally hadn't heard of it until about 30 minutes ago.

Submission + - Slashdot Effort to Stop ACTA (whitehouse.gov) 5

ChinggisK writes: Earlier today a Slashdot AC posted a thread regarding the ACTA treaty that is to be signed this weekend. Sounds to me like a good way to stop whining and make something of an effort about this.

The Obama administration has made it possible to create petitions which, if they get sufficient signatures, will be responded to and potentially acted on. I've created one at http://wh.gov/4PW which I encourage all to read and sign if they agree with it. We can defeat this!

Ooo, I have a question! Can you direct me to a good source (no paywall please) that discusses how well the biblical portions of the dead sea scrolls match up with modern scripture (i.e. have they changed due to copying errors and such)? I frequently see some people saying that they are almost identical and others say they are completely different, I'd like to see some evidence of what the truth is.

I found this to be the most interesting part of the TFA:

"The Anonymous ‘collective’ has risen from an amorphous group of individuals on the Internet to the current state of a potential threat to national security. Due to the nature of Anonymous, they believe that they are a leaderless collective. However, it has been shown that there is a defined leadership group," the document reads. "A thorough assessment of each UNSUB’s online activities, speech patterns, and general writings was collected by the FBI. Each UNSUB was individually assessed by members of the SBU (sic) and a psychological profile created from these datasets."

(emphasis mine)

This is what some people on /. have been arguing for some time.

Regardless, the document itself (linked to in the first article) is kind of fun to read.
