The Konami Code is a cheat code that appeared in many of Konami’s video games, starting in around 1986 (my favorite places to use it were Contra and Life Force, 30 lives FTW). Ostensibly this is probably something that was included by a developer unbeknownst to the powers that be at Newsweek, similar to an incident that happened at ESPN involving unicorns last year.

bughunter writes: "According to Wired Threat Level, "Lawmakers are considering key changes to the Patriot Act and other spy laws — proposals that could give new life to lawsuits accusing the nation's telecommunications companies of turning over Americans' electronic communications to the government without warrants. On Oct. 1, the Senate Judiciary Committee likely will consider revoking that immunity legislation as it works to revise the Patriot Act and other spy laws with radical changes that provide for more government transparency and more privacy protections." This is big. Now would be a great time to donate $20 to the EFF, since it appears they will be heading back to court on our behalf."
