I am aware that telemarketers are not permitted to call cell phones. I am aware that one can submit a complaint to the FCC (FTC?) for such violations (and I have submitted complaints to both), though I am not entirely certain whose domain this falls under. However, what does one do when a company repeatedly [...]

I would just like to mention that if you have not done so already, get your comments into the FCC regarding network neutrality and “reasonable network management” as soon as possible! The deadline is coming near (the 13th). More information is still available here on my blog.

If you have not seen a posting about this on the ’net yet, then I am writing this for you to read. The short story: The FCC is currently seeking comments on a rule-making proceeding to clarify the definition of “reasonable network management” within the context of broadband services providers—e.g., DSL, Cable, T-line, and DS-line [...]

I do sometimes wish that I were more eloquent in the ideas that I sometimes wish to convey. The whole idea of freedom is what drives me, and when I see things like this, where a student gets detention for using Firefox. Now, the school claims that it was a falsified document, and it might [...]

MIT student arrested for entering Boston airport with “fake bomb” – Boing Boing Can we please have people defending the country that know both how not to waste my money and have something resembling a human brain? One with an IQ that is greater than 30? Seriously.

Slashdot | TorrentSpy Must Preserve Data In RAM For MPAA First, man is condemned to using Windows, and now, our so insightful government thinks that RAM is a data storage medium under federal discovery rules or some bullshit like that? Does the government know anything about computers and how they work?

BitTorrent Admin Monitored by US Government, Forced to Dump Linux | TorrentFreak Okay, so… The government can hold people for years without charging them. Check. The government can violate the Constitution for any reason it feels is relevant to “national security”, and a jury will support it. Check. The government is not liable for the [...]

Any corporation that realizes that freedom is a good thing, has my vote. Apple, offering DRM-free tracks through iTunes, is still not doing enough to make things happen. However, Wal*Mart at least realizes that there are some freedoms that they should continue to uphold because it’s in their best interest to do so. While I [...]

The wonderful, cherished thing that is our Federal Government wants to make REAL ID even more powerful, while at the same time saying that while things will change, they will stay the same. The “war on terror” has gotten to be just as out of hand and out of control as the “war on drugs” [...]
