CmdrTaco, thank you for the coverage of the launch. I was there and following your, NASA and weather tweets all morning up until the launch. 'Tis quite a memorable experience indeed, I'm just glad they made it back safe and sound and off into history they go. Just wish America could get its act together so something this awesome doesn't have to end due to financial concerns.

Submission + - Utah considers warrantless internet subpoenas (sltrib.com)

Submitted by seneces on Tuesday February 23, 2010 @07:04PM

seneces writes: The Utah State Legislature is considering a bill, HB150, granting the Attorney General's Office the ability to demand customer information from internet or cell phone companies via an administrative subpoena, with no judicial review. This is an expansion of a similar law passed last year, which granted that ability when "it is suspected that a child-sex crime has been committed", and has led to more than one non-judicial request for subscriber information per day since becoming law. Pete Ashdown, owner of a local ISP and 2006 candidate for the United States Senate, has discussed his position and the effects of this bill. This would undoubtably set an uncomfortable precedent for ISPs being compelled to release subscriber information on the mere suspicion of a crime, or even "electronic communication harassment".
