A Court Backs Open Hearings on Deportation
Finally, the rule of law is asserting its hold once again. All the better to thwart evil despot-wannabes like Ashcroft, and bumbling, moronic, idiots like illigetimate prez monkey boy.
Controversial Police Database Lists 'Future Criminals'
Gee, violate the constitution much? Philip K. Dick is laughing his ass
off right now. Or suffering from toxic shock withdrawal, but still,
probably laughing. My gawd, this is scary stuff.
Secret Court Says F.B.I. Aides Misled Judges in 75 Cases
Nooooo! The gubment? Lied?!? In order to violate our civil rights in
overzealous pursuit of bogeymen that didn't exist? No way! That would
never happen. And what's more, it wouldn't happen because no one,
absolutely no one, saw this happening.
Interesting… I'd never heard of “heat islands,” or considered the heat retention-and-breeze blocking problems created by megacities. NYC is probably saved by Central Park.
Battle brewing at Liquid Audio over pile of cash
gawd, is this like the easiest shareholder decision ever? that's
hilarious, 150K in revenue, 5.6M in debt… but they have a pile of

Lee wants out, says management is giving up
OK, so I'm just catching up with finally adding my links from July, but bear with me here … this is what happens when you let the Angel of Death (J. Loria) own a baseball team. No, there's no cronyism in MLB. The fact that Loria's head is so far up Selig's ass was not a factor in the decision to give him the Marlins at all. Of course.
Berkeley student fleeces UK in eBay scam
another of the eBay meltdowns. I don't know how you could design a system
that is based on feedback that would hinder this sort of “cashing in”
activity. Last year some other guy with a rating ~500 went beyond the
pale and scammed over $300,000 before it was discovered. What is wrong
with these people?
