Owl Pellets for October 14th through October 18th

Owl Pellets: My Undigested Internets.
- Do Robots Have Rights? – Issues – Robots might own the copyright to the things they invent, discover etc.
- Schools battle with mechanical beasts | pnj.com | Pensacola News Journal – Damn, I thought this said schools battle with mechanical breasts. Now that would be a story!
- Tin Can Comms 2009 – The group of which Mr. Madison is a member.
- CJO’s Avenger212 – Battening Down the Hatches: Secret State Monitors Protest, Represses Dissent – "Message to the American people: Official enemy: Twitter good! Official friend (grifting multinational corporations and the criminals who do their bidding in Washington): Twitter bad! How’s that for an imaginative interpretation of the “new media paradigm”!"
- Witness For the Persecution – "In a legal sense, Madison’s arrest is a historic first. If Madison broke the law, so has every journalist who ever covered live breaking news involving the police. My local news radio station, for example, reported this morning that state troopers are intensifying enforcement of New York’s ban on cell phone use by motorists on the New York Thruway. If Madison is a criminal, so is the reporter who put this story together, and the management of the radio station that aired it. Like Madison’s report, this news piece will warn people not to break the law, and hence help them avoid arrest."
- MMLB » Birds Before The Storm – Mythmakers and Lawbreakers: A book of interviews with anarchist authors.
- GOP 2012: Huckabee 29% Romney 24% Palin 18% – Rasmussen Reports™ – I'm not surprised by this at all. Been telling my friends that Huckabee is all the republicans got. And he's very likable. Barring some major scandal etc., he'll be running on that ticket. And I even think he'll win the presidency.
- The Breaking Time: Fuck your apocalypse – The Mayans don't give a shit about 2012 and neither should you.
- Clowns Kicked KKK Asses – Neatorama – Still afraid of clowns? After they do this? Shame on you.
Although Ryan Oakley began his career as a simple rake (drunk) he has since become Toronto’s most renowned flaneur (no car) and notorious dandy (overdresses). A misanthropic composer of psycho-geographical fictions (bad science fiction), he is also a server of food, a tender of bar and a washer of dishes. While performing all these functions with efficiency and elegance (disdain and malice), he somehow finds the time to publicly criticize friends, strangers and cultural crap. He's a bit of a dick.
