Good to see a whole genre of scam artists and their books being displaced.

New comment by GreenSalem in "Banned book library in a wi-fi smart light bulb"

Some books deserve to be banned.

I would put Kevin MacDonald's antisemitic trilogy The Culture of Critique, the Turner Diaries ( which calls for mass extermination of non-white groups in the USA ) and Mein Kampf in the realm of books that should be shunned.

Beggars cant be choosers.

She would rather have done corporate law but did not have the academic credentials or the networks needed for a job at the likes of Latham Watkins or White and Case.

Still it is good for society that criminals get the worst lawyers to defend them.

"EPUB is an amazing open standard for ebooks, and yet so many implementations of it are just fundamentally flawed, all in the name of keeping IP lawyers happy."

Easy to be dismissive, but IP violations can cost a large company hundreds of millions.

IP lawyers are more important to many companies than their software developers.

If you doubt that, check to see who gets paid more...

A lawyer I know who specialises in rape, and is excellent at getting the obviously guilty exonerated, lost a case last year because of GoPro videos.

Her client was recording while committing the abhorrent crime. The criminal would otherwise have got off.

From my perspective, the GoPro camera produced a good outcome. Still, one has wonder why anyone to record their criminal actions.

Words of wisdom. PG is always worth Reading.

I have news for you.

The article is not written for those of you who are comprehension challenged...

This is why for the census my forms said that I was a poor widow from Kazakhstan with 9 chidren , no education and an adherent of the Mandean faith.

Never ever provide true information in any form.

Rust was an own goal foot gun.

Interesting language with a passionate community / cult, but the value to Mozilla was vanishingly close to zero.
