Mississippi Finishes Up Paperwork on 13th Amendment
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, February 20 2013 @ 08:36 AM EST

Under the Bar has an excellent explanation of what happened in Mississippi and it doesn't match the reporting in the media.

Interesting verdict in UK court
Authored by: tiger99 on Wednesday, February 20 2013 @ 10:07 AM EST
Interesting because it involves the conduct of the jury in the jury room.
"Can a juror come to a verdict based on a reason that was not presented in court and has no facts or evidence to support it either from the prosecution or defence?"
OK, this was a criminal trial, nothing to do with patents, but it does remind me very much of a certain case which we saw here on Groklaw, where a rogue juror did indeed introduce his opinion, which was actually incorrect anyway, in addition to the facts presented in court.

2 out of every 3 Americans lost Fourth Amendment protections to DHS
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, February 20 2013 @ 06:55 PM EST
Border agents don’t need probable cause and they don’t need a stinking warrant since they don’t need to prove any reasonable suspicion first. Nor, sadly, do two out of three people have First Amendment protection; it is as if DHS has voided those Constitutional amendments and protections they provide to nearly 200 million Americans.

Those numbers come from the ACLU’s estimates of how many people live within 100 miles of the United States border, since Homeland Security’s Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties (CLCR) concluded that border searches of electronic devices do not violate the Fourth Amendment. Previously, the ACLU called this area the Constitution-Free Zone

Predictable Evolution ?
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, February 21 2013 @ 10:54 AM EST
Understanding how and why diversification occurs is important for understanding
why there are so many species on Earth. In a new study published on 19 February
in the open access journal PLOS Biology, researchers show that similar—or even
identical—mutations can occur during diversification in completely separate
populations of E. coli evolving in different environments over more than 1000
generations. Evolution, therefore, can be surprisingly predictable.

Oh My Tech!: Answers for a reader who still loves WordPerfect
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, February 21 2013 @ 10:57 AM EST
The newest version of Windows installed on it — Windows 8 — will not run old DOS-based (Disk Operating System) software without the use of an emulator program such as DOSBox, which the Frankenfields said will not run WordPerfect.

My suggestion is they keep their old computer with Windows XP and WordPerfect for whatever uses they need.

The long-awaited makeover of Yahoo.com’s home page is the most notable change to the website since the Internet company hired Marissa Mayer as its CEO seven months ago. The new look debuted Wednesday in the U.S., although it could take a few more days before everyone starts to see it.

Why Should Taxpayers Give Big Banks $83 Billion a Year ?
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, February 21 2013 @ 11:56 AM EST
"What if the billions of dollars they allegedly earn for their shareholders were almost entirely a gift from U.S. taxpayers?"

Twitter’s Surprising Solution to the Patent Problem: Let Employees Control Them
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, February 21 2013 @ 01:43 PM EST
Since Twitter doesn’t want patents to impede the innovation of others, we developed a new type of patent agreement between an inventor and a company: the Innovator’s Patent Agreement

I think they have too much free time on their hands.
