Jailed for using the "lynx" browser !

Boing Boing: Jailed for using a nonstandard browser: It really scares me (as someone who used lynx quite a bit when I first began accessing the Internet) that someone could be jailed in a First World state for simply using a different sort of web browser. What has the world come to?

Free-Lunch Health Insurance

Slate - A simple idea for insuring some of the poor. By Daniel Gross

I like the idea of simply expanding eligibility - but I'd like to see an analysis that would also take into account the effect of insuring more people, thereby providing them access to primary care on a much more cost-effective basis than emergency room visits and the like.
