[silk] How the US house judiciary committee protects whistleblowers

... or doesn't.  I don't normally forward /. trash along, but in my defense,
I saw this link elsewhere, by which time it appears heavily /.ed.

The US House Judiciary Committee recently emailed all of its potential
whistleblowers information about how it was restructuring its whistleblower
program. Unfortunately for its sources, it emailed them this information
with their addresses in the To: field (and not the Bcc: field) It also
cc:'d this email to the Vice President.

So you still read /. ? huh...

P.S. I figured that there'd surely be other comments about the news
worthy parts of Suresh's message, but reading /. is well interesting.
I thought not too many did that these days.

I do occasionally (when I ocassionally pass by the browser tab) 
skim it, though there are only a few worthwhile articles/week.

I used to live on reddit, but it's gone all to shit in hyperexponential
time. They now even killed my.reddit.com, and recommended is full of
crap as ever. I can't believe we still don't have a personal news
service in end-2007.

I also try StumbleUpon now and then, and am similiarly unconvinced.
Server-side clustering can't be that hard, yet it's some 14 years
we've been knowning that, and still nothing happens.

P.S. Just came across the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_rain_in_Kerala

 I stopped reading reddit when they decided they were too grown up for
 nsfw.reddit.com

Ok so on a lark I clicked the link gmail made out my comment on
nsfw.reddit.com - it works. I guess they decided sex sells afterall
eh?

I wouldn't really care for a NSFW reddit (both because it's boring,
and because I have no problems to view anything I want at my work,
but there has been one for a while.

But I cannot forgive them to treat server-side clustering as a
minor feature. By doing that they set themselves up for a yet another
failure.

Oh, and has Leopard been good to you, too?
