Bruce Schneier and RFE/RL on Internet Censorship->

Submitted by Foehg
Foehg writes "Radio Free Europe writes: A recent report by Freedom House has detailed a "new form of censorship" that has taken hold in CIS states. A particular target of governments' efforts to control what their citizens read is the Internet — and blocking websites has become common practice in some countries. RFE/RL correspondent Heather Maher asked Bruce Scheier, chief technical officer of computer-security company BT Counterpane, about how such blocking works and what can be done to counter it."

Ford pulling plug on Think cars-> 1

Submitted by ArmedLemming
ArmedLemming writes "Apparently now that Ford doesn't need the Think car to help in its compliance with emissions standards, they're pulling the plug on the car. Due to liability concerns, they're not allowing the cars' leaseholders to buy the cars either. The cars are headed to the scrapyard. From the article: "[Ford] decide to crush the "Think City" cars that had been exported to the US, mostly to California to satisfy air pollution requirements in place at the time. When those requirements were eased, Ford had no more political need for its electric car venture and literally pulled the plug.""

The Art and Science of CSS 98

Posted by samzenpus
from the read-all-about-it dept.
nateklaiber writes "The Art and Science of CSS was a quick read (208 pages) and packed full of valuable code examples. Unlike other CSS books that teach you the specifics of CSS with vague examples (not vague in a bad way), this book teaches you specific examples and gives you extra resources. This book is somewhat of a cookbook of commonly used CSS methods. Each author brings their unique writing style to the table, and each chapter focuses on a specific aspect of design and its CSS and styling methods." Read below for the rest of Nate's review.
