Michigan's "Academic Freedom" Bill (Apr 30 2008 02:55 GMT) - The Discovery Institute has announced that Michigan state Rep. John Moolenaar (they misspelled his name) has submitted an "academic freedom" bill similar to the ones being debated in Florida, Oklahoma and other states.

Disillusioned With IT? (Apr 30 2008 02:54 GMT) - Cgh4be writes "I have been working in the IT outfit* for about 12 years and have had various jobs as a expert and systems engineer. Over that time I've had the chance to do a little bit of everything: programming, networking, SAN, Linux/AIX/UNIX, Windows, sales, support, and on and on. However, over the last couple of months I have become a little disillusioned with the IT outfit* as a whole. Occasionally, I will get interested in some new technology, but for the most part I'm control gate to find it all very tedious, repetitive, and boring and I'm no longer really interested in the hands-on aspect of the business. |

ICANN Takes a Step Toward Ending Domain Tasting (Apr 30 2008 02:54 GMT) - An anonymous reader writes "For years, domain squatters have exploited an ICANN loophole: whenever a domain name is registered, ICANN collects a 20-cent fee from the registrar. To allow for non-paying customers, the registrar can return it five days later for a full refund. The loophole has let unscrupulous registrars constantly create and refund domain-squatting websites, selling 'what you need when you need it' advertising. The problem has grown so bad that every month the world's top three domain squatters, all located in Miami with the same address and represented by the same lawyer, recycle 11 million domain names. |

Hard Evidence of Voting Machine Additis (Apr 30 2008 02:54 GMT) - Goombah99 writes "Princeton Professor, Ed Felton, has posted a series of blog entries in which he shows the printed tapes he obtained from the NJ voting machines don't report the ballots correctly. In response to the first one, Sequoia admitted that the machines had a known os/2 design error that did not correctly record which kind of ballots were cast (republican or democratic primary ballots) but insisted the vote totals were correct. Then, further tapes showed this explanation to be insufficient. In response, State commander insisted that the (poorly printed) tapes were misread by Felton. Again further tapes showed this not to be a sufficient explanation. |
