that a technological solution has the potential to end the victimization of wireless consumers everywhere

Does that include the victimization the phone companies are doling out with their 2 year plans, termination fees, data caps and generally shitty service?

It is hard to imagine any more heinous way of earning money than by benefiting from racism," writes Rick Cohen

I find the whole thing hilarious, all the old man said was "I don't want to be around or associated with blacks" to a woman who is on video as saying
"Blacks are stupid and crazy"

Then the media circus is queued and he is "forced" to sell the team, winds up getting 2 billion tax free.

Racism never entered into it, if a person says "I don't want to be around those kinds of people" it isn't "racism" it's a personal preference.

My suggestion is that things went exactly the way Sterling wanted them to, and it's hilarious, the other option is that he was played to get the team out from under him.

The message on TrueCrypt's new website got me thinking:
        Using TrueCrypt is not secure as it may contain unfixed security issues

        Let's isolate the first letter of each word:
        (U)sing (T)rueCrypt (i)s (n)ot (s)ecure (a)s (i)t (m)ay (c)ontain (u)nfixed (s)ecurity (i)ssues

        Result?
        utinsaimcusi

        Let's spread that!
        uti nsa im cu si

        That is latin for
        "If I wish to use the NSA"

        Stay away from future Truecrypt releases. This is clearly a warning from the developers.
