There is a puzzling sentence at the end of the article
UC Davis Reaches $1M Settlement with
Protestors over Pepper Spray:
County prosecutors said last
week the campus police who fired the pepper spray will not face any criminal
charges, due to lack of evidence that the use of force was
illegal.
Why is spraying massive doses of pepper spray into
the faces of peaceful protesters legal use of force? Can the police spray pepper
spray legally into the faces of just anybody they feel like? Can I do it too?

Scientists ask for legal safeguards to keep
their work out of court.
Trying to create a new priest class? It would
seem keeping science from being repeatable would be admirable in protecting
reputations, but not so good for advancing the sciences and arts.
There's
this little tried and true thing called the Scientific Method a tenant of which
is that theories can't be proven, only disproved. Hide data that can't be
replicated and any results can't be duplicated nor mistakes pointed out.
Now
all the sudden we're dealing with things taken on faith.
Read section III.
Common Mistakes in Applying the
Scientific Method.
Bias free science stands on it's results, reputations
untarnished. Interjecting moral rights seems a bit too much of politically
correct science.

Reuters - Samsung, battling Apple verdict, cites foreman's
Seagate lawsuit
I can honestly say I heard this on Groklaw first
when someone commented making the Seagate/Samsung connection ... but this
confirms it.
So the idea is that Hogan was so peeved at Seagate for the
grief they caused him that he put a fork in Samsung, their sugar daddy, to the
tune of 1 billion dollars. If this is true, I'd be all for some legal punitive
measures brought against Hogan.
