10:37 AM - IP Cops to steal computers: BIll in congress

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c110:H.R.4279:

This bill helps big media companies by creating a new IP cop division of the government. They can steal your computer on the accusations of the RIAA or MPAA of copyright infringement. This can be spoofed or done through a virus or other malware without your knowledge. You can lose your computer for no reason. Yes this is a bit sensational, but it's so true.

The bill was sponsored by John Conyers, Jr. from Detroit.

I remember using a C64 at several points in my life. My first computer programming class used c64s in eight grade. Some of the games were great.

12:13 AM - Evil woman is shunned

http://www.cnn.com/2007/LIVING/wayoflife/12/07/suicide.shunning.ap/index.html

Perhaps if she hadn't have led to the death of a teenager, it wouldn't be happening? I don't feel sorry for this woman. She acted immature and now the community is responding in kind. She should appreciate the attitude. Messing with peoples lives is OK to her if it's not happening to her.
