Kat, I'm pretty sure i know who the shooter is.

I'm in the to airport in the longest layover ever. i don't know why they had to escort me straight to the US departures area, because I could have shopped or something....

Sue, who is it? Is it Trey? Cause I slowed the Tivo down and it didn't look like him. I figger Trey will die trying to save Marissa.

Is this to imply that I am now?!!

In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.

It's clunkily written, but a plain interpretation of "Exceptions" here should refer back to the previous sentence, i.e. whether the Supreme Court would have original jurisdiction in any "other cases" instead of just appellate jurisdiction which means that the cases are heard elsewhere first.

It makes absolutely no sense and as far as I can tell there's no precedent for Congress to limit the Supreme Court's powers of review.

Americans are pants at password security:

Americans are just as blasé about password security as the Brits, according to a new survey. Two out three three people (180 of 272) approached in a downtown San Francisco street by researchers were happy to provide their password in exchange for a coffee gift card. Of those respondents that declined offering their actual password, 51 provided a clue about their password in exchange for a $3 Starbucks gift voucher.

Only 41 of those quizzed (or 15 per cent) on San Francisco[s Market Street refused to hand over the goodies. Whether these people were adverse to either Starbucks or coffee remains a mystery. It's also possible that people told researchers fibs just to get a freebie, of course, but the suspicion remains that many people are prepared to hand over their password on a whim. Several respondents were so enticed by the allure of a $3 coffee card that they gave away their password and then mentioned to surveyors that they would change their password as soon as returning to their computer.

You know what? For one particular password, I was a good girl and chose something genuinely hard to remember, mixed case, letters and numbers, the whole bit.

Then I wrote it down. Because -- duh -- I couldn't remember it.

The next time they made me change it, I changed it to something I could remember.

I was looking in some catalog kind of like Levengers and they had a pad advertised to help keep your passwords straight. I guess so you can write them down and have them easy to steal.

Unless I'm also providing them my name and the location of my computer, I don't see the big deal really. Take my password, may it bring you joy. Give me a voucher large enough to buy a whole cup of coffee though, please.

as opposed to a piece of a paper or a post it note. I love Levengers but Come On. you dont need a special pad to write your passwords on.

Here, we have to change our password something like every 8 weeks, and the new one can't be the same as any of our previous 24 passwords. So I always write mine down. It's on a post-it in front of my computer. (I figure anyone who can get to my desk has already made it past 28+ security cameras and a magnetic card reader, so either they work here, or could probably hack my password anyway.)

For a $3 coffee card, I'd happily give someone a fake password.

And, I totally would give them a fake password for a large black tea lemonade. "It's password"
