doubt this is the last word.
EPIC
– Foreign Intelligence Court Releases Controversial Opinion on
Domestic Telephone Records Program
“The Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) has released an Opinion,
justifying the NSA’s telephone record collection program. In
the Opinion, Judge Claire Eagan states that “there is no Fourth
Amendment impediment to the collection” of all domestic call detail
records. Judge Eagan also concluded that all domestic call
detail records are “relevant” under Section 215 because
“individuals associated with international terrorist organizations
use telephonic systems to communicate” and because the
government argued that bulk collection is ‘necessary to create a
historical repository of metadata’ in order to
identify ‘known and unknown operatives. [I
think this is the key to the argument. Using a variety of analytical
techniques, you can tie entities together (A called B who then called
C...) What you can't do is demonstrate that I am not
a terrorist. Therefore like Schrodinger's cat, I am both innocent
and guilty... Bob] This FISC opinion was issued more
than a month after EPIC filed its Mandamus
Petition challenging the NSA domestic surveillance in the U.S.
Supreme Court. The Eagan opinion has also been criticized
by legal scholars. For more information, see In
re EPIC.”
These are the facts.
This is what
PogoWasRight said the fact were.
I'm just tossing this
out for debate. Purely as a hypothetical...

This could be handy for
my website students...
– is a site where you
can enter a URL, and have that site’s elements, such as the fonts,
the colors, and the image dimensions, broken down for you. It will
list the exact HEX codes for each color, as well as specify which
font the site is using. You can also download a PDF file with this
information for later viewing.
Just
because I haven't mentioned MOOCs much, does not mean they have gone
away.
Coursera
And Udacity Gain Competition As FutureLearn Joins The MOOC Bandwagon
FutureLearn
has launched with an open beta website and a roster of free
online courses. The UK based program is an alliance of
many British educational institutions and also worldwide recognized
names like British Council, British Library and the British Museum.
FutureLearn is owned by The Open University and its making a foray
into the very open space of Massively Open Online Courses (MOOC) with
nearly 26
educational partners.
While Coursera and
Udacity have become recognizable names in the online
courses arena, FutureLearn is a late-starter.
For my iStudents...
Marvin
E-Reader for iOS is Better Than Kindle & iBooks
If you want to see how
much better Amazon’s Kindle
and Apple’s iBooks e-book readers could be, check out Marvin,
an e-reader for the iPad and iPhone.
… Marvin can’t
open EPUB books with DRM (e.g. iBooks and Kindle books), but it
provides a bundle of free e-books to get you started, and there’s
also in-app links to public domain catalogues, Project Gutenberg, and
Manybooks, to name a few. You can also add books from Dropbox (by
signing in within the app) and Calibre
in a standard DRM-free EPUB format. If you’re stuck for reading
material, check out our review of free
