Beyond Padilla terror case, huge legal issues

If anyone still seriously believes that we are a free people, this sordid tale of torture and kidnapping should help to clear things up.

Padilla isn't a run-of-the-mill enemy combatant apprehended on a foreign battlefield. He is a United States citizen, arrested on US soil, who was held in a military prison for 43 months and subjected to harsh interrogation techniques until he confessed.

Making the move to the Mac

Some pretty clear writing here - can't wait to read part two.

As should be pretty clear from previous ramblings, I've about given up on Windows and am in the process of trying to reinvent myself as a Mac developer (I should perhaps say re-reinvent myself, since I worked with Macs back in the early days of the original 128K Mac, over 20 years ago).
