Guess from which industry the SOPA bill's sponsor, Lamar Smith, received his largest campaign contribution. Drum roll...the TV/Movies/Music industry. http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/summary.php?cid=N00001811

They used to have a prominent banner when downloading which said something to the affect of "Guaranteed Spyware Free" I don't see that message anymore.

Livermorium, holy yuk! That's worse than Moland Springs [tv sitcom reference]

My god the number of Android security vuln's is a dang deluge. They really need to address this growing problem it is starting to seriously damage the brand it seems to me. I suppose this is the typical extension of being so open.

We've finally reached the feared global warming feedback loop tipping point scientists have been dreading. There's nothing we can do to stop gobal warming, at this point all we can do is adapt. Bummer.

I work for a federal agency trying to implement this. It is a wonderful idea with many benefits but it is very expensive to implement. It's not just a matter of scanning documents.

Mandates like this are so often passed down with out giving the agencies the resources needed to carry them out. So we so often end up getting half assed implementations.

I've listened to scientists on the many Earth Science programs on Nova, Frontline, National Geographic, the Science channel, the History channel, etc for many years.

Take a look at the Freakanomics and Super Freakanomics books. They talk all about how irrational folks are with financial decisions.

Goodbye to youtube if this takes affect.

I have a one finger gesture to Apple I'd like to patent.

I seem to remember from biology class that cells had a size limit due to the need to transport nutrients and throughout the cell quick or the cell would quickly die. We did a test with, I can't remember the name, Alger, by placing it in dye to see how long it takes to penetrate.

I think it was the virgin Mary getting jiggy with it.
