Clinton Prosecutor Now Targeting Free Speech 571

Posted by kdawson on Sunday December 03, 2006 @04:30AM from the whitewater-in-alaska dept.

Virchull tells us about a case the Supreme Court has agreed to hear, in which former special prosecutor Kenneth Starr will take the side of an Alaska school board against a student who displayed a rude banner off school property. The banner read "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" and it got the student suspended. He and his parents sued the school board for violating his First Amendment rights. The case is nuanced: while the student did not display the banner on school property, he did do so during a school function. Starr is said to be arguing the case for free.

Submitted by Dean on Saturday December 02, 2006 @09:45PM

Dean writes: Democracy Player, the open source answer for RSS video aggregation/playback, has just made it to 0.9.2 for Windows, Mac and Linux. If you haven't tried Democracy Player for a while, it's time to try it again. The application is more responsive and stable, uses less memory, integrates Bittorrent, and can now play Flash videos (including stuff from YouTube, Google, Yahoo, etc). Democracy takes all the hassle out of finding and watching videos from your favorite sources.

Sometimes your enterprise log your dns queries. This is the solution if you want anonymous surfing. It's an imperfect browsing, maybe you can make suggestions to improve the service. Clear your DNS servers on your TCPIP config and try your favorites pages through this service."

JamieSI writes: "There have been many posts made at hacker and Linux communities which reveal the Playstation 3 Blu-Ray disc format has been cracked. There has been several disc dumps appearing on certain peer-to-peer networks and other pirate communities. The discs can't currently be booted by the PlayStation 3 but it probably won't take long to crack it. The PS3 has only been released for a short amount of time so this will cause Sony troubles if they do manage to produce pirate copies of games this early on, which they probably will. More details here."
