  Your Rights Online: Blogger Successfully Quashes Subpoena 2008-04-22 16:47

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday April 22, @04:47PM
from the oh-and-here's-your-head dept.
Ares writes "In a follow-up to Blogger Subpoenaed for Criticizing Trial Lawyers, Katherine Seidel's blog indicates that not only has she successfully quashed her subpoena, but the lawyer issuing said subpoena is now under orders to appear and explain why the courts shouldn't sanction him for it. This should be interesting, because in addition to Ms. Seidel's subpoena in New Hampshire, the lawyer issued a similar subpoena to a doctor and a Harvard professor under similar circumstances."

  Send a name to Mars for Christmas 2006-12-21 10:09 space_elf

space_elf writes "The Planetary Society has an interesting program just in time for Christmas, and just perfect for the persnickity someone in your life who seems to have everything. You can submit a name that will be written on a mini-disk and flown aboard the upcoming Phoenix mission to Mars. Included in the free (as in beer) service is a certificate to present to them as proof of their name going into space. Sorry folks, mothers-in-law are not allowed."

  Eviscerati.org predicts 2007 2006-12-21 09:50 brennanw

brennanw writes "This is the time of year when computer journalists lean back in their chairs and pontificate endlessly on the top ten products of the year... and then go on to make keen, insightful predictions on the year to come (for example, Infoworld's mind-boggling prediction that Computers are going to get faster). Not to be outdone by amateurs, Eviscerati.org makes it's own predictions for the coming year, with such hard-hitting and insightful gems as 'Computers will continue to require electricity,' 'Richard Stallman will piss somebody off,' and 'Slashdot will refuse to acknowledge my greatness.'"
