  Purdue vs RIAA: Round Two![->] 2008-04-17 05:10 bwak

Submitted by bwak on Thursday April 17, @05:10AM
bwak writes "College students have always had the dubious distinction of being easy marks in the target against P2P file sharing. As of February 2007, the RIAA has dispatched thirteen new waves of litigation letters against U.S. University students in their 'deterrence' campaign aimed at more than 5,000 students. But one University is fighting back — albeit very quietly — and that's Purdue."

  Domestic Spies-in-the-Skies[->] 2008-03-26 12:47 bwak

Submitted by bwak on Wednesday March 26, @12:47PM
bwak writes ""MIAMI (Reuters) — Miami police could soon be the first in the United States to use cutting-edge, spy-in-the-sky technology to beef up their fight against crime." I really hope the privacy advocates get to work on this one fast. What's worse than a government controlled mounted camera on every corner? A mobile government controlled camera. "

bwak writes "from RJ Eskow, "If you're Hillary Clinton and you've just been caught in a "whopper," the only thing to be grateful for is that it's Good Friday and people are distracted. How bad could this story be for her? When you tell the American public you faced gunfire, and it turns out all you really faced was a little girl with flowers — well, that's as bad as it gets. When you dramatically say you made a journey that was too dangerous for the president, only to have it revealed that he made the same trip two months earlier — and that your teenaged daughter was by your side — that only makes it worse.""
