Of interest is that I believe this provides an adequate explanation of why I am of the opinion that Third Voice is a direct assault on free speech of people with web pages. It's not as strange as it sounds, a pretty good case can be made for it.

How many people's domain names are short enough to fit on a license plate, including the '.com' or '.org'?

I normally try to keep my personal life out of this 'blog, but this is kinda cool I think... I'd actually like to have this license plate someday (though I think my state of Michigan doesn't allow seven letters):

So, everybody else is posting their experiences with Manila. I thought something a little different was in order, so here are my Manila Experiences.

I've been waiting the past couple of days for just this sort of article on the latest Denial of Service attacks. "FBI officials don't appear to know much of anything, except that they desperately need heaps more money, and that Western Civilisation desperately needs their increasing intervention in all matters digital.

Jason of Q sent an e-mail to Passport Access regarding the past few days discoveries about their harvesting resumes. Thanks Jason! Maybe something good will come of this. Stay tuned to Q to find out what happens...

How many of your friends know what PGP is? (Do you know what PGP is?) I know what it is, but I don't use it.

(I suppose this means I should start... but none of my e-mail recipients would have a clue what to do with a PGP-encoded e-mail.)

More demonstration of why I don't find it impossible to believe that those who would trample our rights can win in the end: An article speculating (though I don't think too wildly) on the real motivations behind the DVD lawsuits.
