  1. Laptop surveillance kid was disciplined when spying authorities mistook candies for pills <\/a>– I don’t care if he was frelling shooting up heroin — that does not <\/em>justify secret spying of this sort. And I think the district (which is lying through its teeth — “to track down stolen laptops” indeed) would have a hard time using the evidence so collected if faced with a legal challenge.<\/li>\n
  2. FBI investigating Lower Merion School District over laptop spying, commemorative tee <\/a>– Okay, maybe there is actually hope for some criminal prosecution here.<\/li>\n
  3. School spying: infected laptops mandatory, jailbreaking grounds for explusion<\/a> – Wow, this gets better and better. The whole “we just wanted the software to be able to track down PC thieves” is clearly a lie, based on the explicit policy of the school — having a PC that couldn’t be webcam monitored was like trying to cover up the telescreen in 1984: a punishable offense.<\/li>\n
  4. 6 of the wildest airport take-offs and landings you\u2019ll ever take <\/a>– And to think that people used to complain about Stapleton here in Denver …<\/li>\n
  5. They don’t really care about the children [Pharyngula] <\/a>– “In a just and rational world, Planned Parenthood would be regarded as a heroic organization, helping to make this a better world.<\/em>” Actually, in a just and rational world, Planned Parenthood wouldn’t exist because the family planning and women’s health services they provide would be available to anyone who needed them. And, yes, Bob Marshall is a hateful, lying sleazeball.<\/li>\n
  6. Petition to make 10 ^ 27th power called “Hella”bytes. #word<\/a> – They have my vote!<\/li>\n
  7. Why would you …<\/a> – Our friend Mary is an Important Person on the crew of the Star of India<\/em>. The commercials are unintelligible, and my only three questions are (a) what does it taste like, and (b) what did they pay the San Diego Maritime Museum (which owns the Star<\/em>), and (c) what did they pay Disney …?<\/li>\n
  8. “It Didn’t Happen If You Didn’t Write It Down” [Mind Hacks]<\/a> – That’s why (or a big reason why) I keep a blog. And reroute my GReader and Twitter stuff over to it.<\/li>\n
  9. Superman’s debut sells for $1M <\/a>– Woot! That means that if I sell all my comic books someday, I can pay for Katherine’s college education, right? Woo-hoo! (thanks, Avo)<\/li>\n
  10. Glenn Beck: Up With Child Labor!<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
