Christopher Poole’s gang is at it again, as 4chan is attacking the family of another dead teenager. I guess ‘moot’ is amoral and doesn’t care where his money comes from.

Time Warner and CBS come to an agreement. Remember: it’s government regulations that already existed that put Time Warner in a spot here, where they had to push hard to resist a sudden doubling of price by CBS. More regulations are not the answer here.

As much as the Communications Decency Act is known for the unconstitutional parts of it that are no longer enforced, it apparently had some supremacy clause stuff to prevent the states from regulating content, a part of the law now under attack.

The NSA is not just a passive listening agency. It’s their job to defend and to attack. They’re building the tools in hostile parts of the world, and they’d definitely have a role in modern warfare.
