Beshear has filed a civil suit against the 141 domain names and is asking the court to force the sites to block access to Kentucky users or give up control of their domain names.

Many in the gambling industry are not happy about Kentucky's move to take legal action to seize the domain names of online gambling Web sites."

Closed captioning, while a good solution for its time, does not compare to subtitles. Having a deaf sister and being a Linux user, I began looking for subtitle utilities that can be used in Linux to add subtitles to media. I recently found an excellent article which gives a nice rundown of open-source tools for working with subtitles."
