Who puts Saverin's house out when it is burning out of control?
Who paves the roads and repairs the bridges that Saverin's luxury cars utilize every day?
Who delivers the mail that Saverin relies on for his business and home operations?
Who manages the pipes and treatment of the shit that Saverin dumps down his toilets every day?
Who patrols the streets that Saverin lives and works on, protecting him from crime?
Who watches and protects the nation of America when terrorists and other countries seek to destroy Saverin's way of life, property, and business interests?

We do, we do.

I think the fear of this comes not from the fact that it's possible, but the fact that it seems much more difficult to investigate, and thus more appealing to a would-be killer, than other forms of murder. Harder to investigate translates to less likelihood of getting caught, which in turn translates into less apprehension about committing the crime.

It's a step in the right direction, though if you ask me only the full, outright abolition of this pathetic, unconstitutional joke of an agency qualifies as "enough." It'll be "fun" to see what kind of tantrum Chief Molester Pistole throws about being denied his latest batch of toys. Here's hoping Congress tells him to shut up and be thankful he got any money at all. Why they don't just strip all funding from TSA at this point is beyond me.

Canonical pulls Kubuntu personnel funding->

LinuxScribe writes "An announcement on the Kubuntu-devel mailing list tells the sad story: Canonical is pulling funding for in-house developers to work on the KDE-based Kubuntu flavor. Canonical now seems committed to its single vision of a GNOME-based Unity as a desktop and other Ubuntu flavors will now have to rely on community support and some infrastructure from Canonical."

Defendant Ordered to Decrypt Laptop Claims She Had Forgotten Password 5

Submitted by wiedzmin
wiedzmin writes "A Colorado woman that was ordered by a federal judge to decrypt her laptop hard-drive for police last month, appears to have forgotten her password. If she does not remember the password by month’s end, as ordered, she could be held in contempt and jailed until she complies. It appears that bad memory is now a federal offense."

The Pirate Bay is still alive and kicking, but I'm wondering the same thing. My go-to sites were always BTJunkie and The Pirate Bay. I tried Monova once or twice but they always seemed lacking by comparison. Either they hadn't indexed what I wanted or it was never seeded - always some ancient torrent from years prior. Who else is still a major player?
