Skype, Child Safety & the Worse Case Scenario Mentality
,----[ Quote ]
| Itâs really quite sad when you think about what kids are
| missing because of this âworst case scenarioâ mentality.
| In this particular case, these kids missed out on the
| opportunity to potentially hear from an innovative
| author of popular kidsâ puzzle books (Eric Berlin,
| author of The Puzzling World of Winston Breen.) Thatâs
| troubling enough. But just think what other interesting
| people or topics these and other kids may never get to
| experience because of this mentality.

JUSTICE Act: a bill to restore the Bill of Rights to America
,----[ Quote ]
| The JUSTICE Act would renew two of the three expiring
| PATRIOT provisions, PATRIOT sections 206 (John Doe
| roving wiretaps) and 215 (FISA orders for any tangible
| thing), but would also add strong new checks and
| balances to those provisions and to the PATRIOT Act in
| general, especially those provisions dealing with the
| government's authority to issue National Security
| Letters. If passed, the bill would also establish
| critically important protections for Americans against
| surveillance authorized under the FAA.

Serves her right
,----[ Quote ]
| Baroness Patricia Scotland broke the law when she
| employed a woman who, it turns out, was not legally
| entitled to work in Britain. A law she should know
| about: not just because she was one of the youngest ever
| QCs, nor because now, as Attorney General, she is the
| government's own in-house lawyer, but because she was a
| minister in the Home Office when the law was passed.
