US terrorist watchlist now has more than 1,000,000 names (47)
on Boing Boing (3105) permalinkThe national Terrorist Watch List has now crossed one million names -- that's a million suspected terrorists (including nuns, members of Congress, and people named "Robert Johnson") who will spend their days being harassed, denied the fundamental right to travel, and punished for having a name vaguely like the name used by someone who may or may not be a terrorist.

KDE Responds To Misconceptions About KDE 4 (4)

'There has been a bit of a dustup about KDE 4.0. A lot of opinions have been expressed, but I thought you might like to hear from KDE. So I wrote to them and asked if they'd be willing to explain their choices and answer the main complaints. They graciously agreed.' ...Contribute comment

Quintessential TSA stupidity: taking airline cutlery away from a pilot (31)
on Boing Boing (3105) permalinkSalon's Patrick Smith, author of the excellent Ask the Pilot column relates the incredibly frustrating -- and quintessential -- story of the day a surly TSA screener confiscated the airline-issue, safe-certified knife from his luggage (part of his hotel stayover emergency kit): "No, this is no good. You can't take this." "Why not?" "It's serrated." He is talking about the little row of teeth along the edge.

Microsoft Crosses a Line (1)
on LXer Linux News (20) permalinkUntil today I've largely been a big supporter of Microsoft's efforts to acquire Yahoo. A couple of days before Microsoft placed its initial $44.6 billion bid for the company, I told Fox Business Channel that a Microsoft merger had to happen to save Yahoo (and I certainly wasn't the first to say this, I just had magnificent timing).

NY Times editorial on laptop seizures by Homeland Security (16)
on Boing Boing (3105) permalinkAn editorial in today's NY Times asks Congress to make Homeland Security stop seizing the laptops and phones of US citizens returning from overseas travel. Like that will ever happen. There have been widespread reports of the government searching — and often seizing — laptops, BlackBerrys, iPhones and other portable electronic devices at airports. It is not clear how often these searches occur, and the government will not say.

IBM Open Sources Web Accessibility (1)
on LXer Linux News (20) permalinkFor most of us, the Web is primarily a visual medium. The downside is that accessing the benefits of the Internet can be a challenge for the visually-impaired. Fortunately, electronic documents are much more versatile than printed ones.
