Mirell writes "ESR has decided to condemn the censorship of mikeeUSA from SourceForge, a person well-known for their repeated harassment of women in open-source. The code in question contained hateful, vile comments either in the games or source code. It's worth nothing the woman in question only asked as a third-party for a code review of SourceForge by the board, and did not actually make the decision to remove it herself."

Mirell writes "Time Warner cable has recently changed their Terms of Service, so that they are allowed to charge you at their discretion via consumption-based billing. They recently were shot done a few months ago after raising the wrath of many subscribers and several politicians. Now they're trying again, but since they make exclusions for their own voice and video to not count against their cap, this could raise the wrath of the FCC."
