San Francisco ID scans, photos from any demand, which goes to a place-public meeting tonight!

San Francisco ID scans, photos from any demand, which goes to a place-public meeting tonight!Cory Doctorow at 8:52 am Tuesday, APR 12, 2011

San Francisco entertainment Commission proposed all bars, clubs and venues should be asked to photograph and gather ID from each, for a drink or a show in comes. The photos and personal information would be maintained so that police could get a list of every person, that night was at the Club. Aside the (obviously) fourth amendment problems leave Governments collect huge databases of the probably innocent inherent legitimate activities and movements, this is also a security nightmare, in which thousands of Club staff and their friends have access to personal information, that would be of great interest for stalker, Creeps and identity thieves.

Electronic Frontier Foundation present their criticism of this proposal from the Commission in a public session tonight (12 April). You can also and let the Commission know what you think.

With strong cultural, ideological and political components are frequent events in places that would be affected by these rules. Scanning the ID's organization would have to all participants in an anti war rally, a gay night club or a fundraiser for a civil liberties a deeply chilling effect on speech. Participants may hesitate to participate in such events, if their participation have been taken, stored, and made available to government authorities upon request note. This would turn the politically and culturally tolerant environment that San Francisco is known in a police state.

We are deeply disappointed in the San Francisco entertainment Commission to classify the so disturbing, authoritarian and poorly thought-out rules. The Commission should reject this attack on our fundamental freedoms. San Francisco can not hope, remain a hub of cultural and political activity, when we are withdrawn at the moment our freedoms, the we to through the door of a place of foot.

Desperate WI Republican Congressman fight, to which fishing copyright trolling applies to $174 K of

Desperate fight WI, Republican Congressman to $174 K of trolling Cory Doctorow at 2:56 PM turns Thursday, Mar 31, to copyright 2011

The Republican party Polk County, WI pulls all attacks, a video by Republic Sean Duffy (R - WI) complain about the difficulty of scratch on his ridiculous $174,000 (plus benefits!) to suppress Government driving around content, and how difficult it is in his old car and pays from his student loans with only $174,000 (plus benefits) paid him each year.

The Republican party Office-that the video originally gebucht-- has used copyright claims on demand that you remove the video hosting services. Talking points memo has extract the appropriate scene and are redirected, and say that they are not removed.

I guarantee you, or that most of you, I guarantee that I have more debt than all you. With 6 children pay I get my student loans. I pay my mortgage even. I drive a van, the used. If you think I live high on the hog, I have a paycheck. So fighting I to meet my bills right now. It would be easier for me, when I get more paychecks? Perhaps, but at this point I am not high on the hog life.

As TPM points out, Duffy is worse than political, but that's the average Republican, because the baseline for comparison is somewhere between "rich as hell" and "richer than God." And $174 K a year is certainly a damn lot more than the "greedy union clubs" have for demand in Wisconsin.

Despite its magnetic field, the Earth loses its atmosphere in the room of the same height as the planet, which is missing from this line of defence against the solar wind. Scientists begin now to questions, whether a planet of atmosphere keep magnetic fields vital to help, really are. Upcoming missions, such as for example the NASA MAVEN mission to Mars, helps astrobiologists understand how it is connected to the loss of planetary atmospheres of solar activity. The work could shed new light on how a planet habitability does from its local space environment.
