A day on slashdot

Anonymous commenters on blogs can now apparently be prosecuted now under the same law which prosecutes people for crank-calling. I think it's safe to say, non-US commenters of all blogs are probably safe. About the only excuse I can think of for introducing a measure like this into law would be to delibrately pick a fight with the ACLU rather than actually help anyone (Litigious culture anyone?). Something similar was litigated about not too long ago, needless to say, neither party was anonymous in that case.

I wasn't one of the bloggers on MySpace who were temporarily censored. Internet censorship should rise, or atleast such an idea is semi-seriously being suggested by someone from the CATO Institute (It has to start somewhere doesn't it). The Bush administration hasn't made things any better. Thank goodness there are foundations like the EFF, and their guide for bloggers.

The cream of the crop, a scanner playing fur elise (Which should work now).

Some pointless stuff, truly pointless stuff, useful stuff that could help people land a job, something funny about windows/linux, something about India, EU building more Nuclear power plants, and last but not least, some truly nerdy news.

If you're new to slashdot, try reading the enormous amounts of comments. Now to um..., give back to the community. "You have 5 Moderator Points! Use 'em or lose 'em!"
