Here's what that means for him: According to a fresh eWeek report: By rejecting the appeal, the human rights court paved the way for McKinnon to come to the United States, where he faces up to 70 years if convicted.

Doppler Weather Radar Picks Up Car Blazing Down Highway at 130 MPH Busted From Space- August 13, 2008 Atmospheric conditions were just right early this morning in the Chicago area for the weather service to pick up motorists driving down Interstate 55 and 57 using Doppler radar. Apparently, one of these motorists was late for an important meeting because a car was clocked doing around 130 mph.

It's a nice plump number but it could be modest -- especially considering pie-in-the-sky forecasts from competing research outfits.

CSC Holdings- August 5, 2008 By Eric Goldman The Cartoon Network LP v. CSC Holdings, Inc., No. 07-1480-cv(L) & 07-1511-cv(CON) (2d Cir. Aug. 4, 2008) The Second Circuit has issued an interesting and potentially important ruling that Cablevision's DVR as a service does not infringe copyright law. This ruling reverses the district court's summary judgment for the plaintiff and opens the way for Cablevision to roll out its DVR service offering in the Second Circuit. The good news is that the opinion eliminates the...http://blog.ericgoldman.org/archives/2008/08/dvr_as_a_servic.htm |
