I can't see the DA actually getting charged, but here's another way to put
pressure on the system.
Petition: Charge DA Carmen Ortiz with Murder of Aaron
Swartz
The squeaky gear gets the

I had to wait while my wife was in a largish educational book shop today.
I spent most of the time looking over the computer section and among the usual
suspects were books on Ubuntu, Mandriva, Fedora 15 and Android. Libreoffice and
Openoffice and Writer and Calc and Impress together with Gimp, Inskcape and
Scribus.
But the most interesting discovery was that after a careful scan, the book
occupying the most shelf space was Linux for Windows Administrators. It it was a
pretty thick book so there weren't that many copies but it sure stood out
I can't read enough of the language to read any of them but something is
happening in this part of the world where Windows has been a no cost option
(except for the cost of the tech's time to install it) unless you were really
BIG business or government

Aaron Swartz interview
from 2001
'In a 2001
interview with public radio station WBEZ .. Aaron
Swartz .. told the host, Lew
Koch, what he imagined the
future of the internet would look like. "It's
harder to
predict the short-term future than the long-term
future", he
warned, but he suggested that the "
semantic web" was
just over the
horizon. It was to be a "two-way web
",
he said, "where users of the web can really write
their own webpages".'[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

No wonder the Fed and the OCC snubbed a request by Darryl Issa and
Elijah
Cummings to review the foreclosure fraud settlement before it was finalized
early last week. What had leaked out while the Potemkin borrower reviews were
underway showed them to be a sham, as we detailed at length in
an earlier post. But even so, what actually took place was even worse than
hardened cynics had imagined.
We are going to be reporting on this story
in detail, since we are conducting an in-depth investigation. But this initial report by Huffington Post gives a window on a good
deal of the dubious practices that took place during the foreclosure reviews. I
strongly suggest you read the piece in full; there is a lot of nasty stuff on
view.
