By The News & Observer, Raleigh, N.C.  Feb. 19--Anyone not stuck in a bunker the last few years knows the perniciousness of sexual predators who stalk the Internet for young victims. In some cases, like that of a 15-year-old Cary boy, the end of the story is violation by an adult.

Did you notice when Slashdot's  search was down for the past few days? (It's back up now.)

I see that Cory Doctorow has made another panicked grab at relevancy once again! His most recent InformationWeek article, How To Keep Hostile Jerks From Taking Over Your Online Community, is his latest exercise in self-deception where he tries convincing himself that he knows something about the hip, happenin' thang we call the Innanet.
