The Constitutional Reason that Circumcision should...
botched-recovery:
For this legal discourse, first take into consideration the law passed in the US concerning the unconsentual genital cutting of female minors:
Specifically the following section:
Congressional Findings Section 645(a) of div. C of Pub. L. 104-208 provided that: “The Congress finds that— “(1) the practice of female genital mutilation is carried out by members of certain...

People do a lot of important things on the Internet. Maybe you use it make purchases, and pay bills. Maybe you use it to plot the destruction and overthrow of the government. Either way, you probably aren’t too keen on being spied on. Unfortunately for you, the F-BOMB (Falling or Ballistically-launched Object that Makes Backdoors) makes it easy. Also, it has the sort of pained-acronym name...

Gawker.com via Washington Post
The Washington Post is out with an excellent update on the history of the racist, homophobic, survivalist, nutcase newspapers that were published under his name in the 80s and 90s, which comes awfully close to confirming the most likely version of the story: He may not have written every word of them, but he sure signed off on them...

– Ron Paul’s former secretary (and current supporter) Renae Hathway • Discussing the perceived-racist newsletters that went out under his name, and he has largely disowned since then. If he edited the newsletters, clearly this would contradict what Paul himself has said about them. The Paul campaign...

FUCK NOT THIS SHIT AGAIN.
Of course it’s not dead, they won’t stop until they’ve pushed the public too far and Tyler Durden becomes a real person. It makes me wonder if the public outcry had been expected, and now that everyone feels grand for winning the First Internet War they can slide their new...

Yep, from the very same Lamar Smith, with 5 CA co-sponsors. When all else fails, lump the objectors together with pedophiles and/or terrorists.

Americans, we helped you and spread awareness about SOPA. Now it’s time to help us. Europe has their own SOPA, called ACTA.

SOPA is Off the Table Again and the Internet is 2... →
After going from the floor, to the shelf, and back to the table, SOPA has been delayed again.This means that for the first time in months, neither PIPA nor SOPA are on an active course to being passed. This is literally the best reaction to the SOPA blackouts than anyone could reasonably expect. Shortly after PIPA was delayed, Representative Lamar Smith — in anoddly familiar announcement — said...

I am not a hacker.
stryker:
But in my recent research, I’ve talked with a lot of them. Not just the “lololol we r legion” kind either. The real deal. Guys who now work for McAfee or run their own security contracting firms. When I asked them about whether further government restrictions on internet behavior, like SOPA and PROTECT IP, would limit piracy, their response was unanimous:
“Fucking LOL.”
Clever pirates...

droppingthefbomb:
If you are a transgender person in Sweden today looking to legally change your gender, in the 21st century you are still forced to undergo surgery that will render you permanently infertile and forever unable to have children. This barbaric practice of forced sterilizations has to stop! The majority of the Swedish parliament is in favor of modifying this law - but up until...

IBM Can Store a Bit of Information in Just 12... →
Instead of attempting to shrink down existing forms of data storage, IBM took a gamble and started experimenting with building storage from the bottom up; it paid off. IBM has now figured out a way to store one bit of data in a mere twelve atoms, creating a form of data storage 2 orders of magnitude denser than some forms of conventional storage.
The research was lead by Andreas Heinrich of...
