Judge Posner gave the following very useful advice to the 7th Circuit clerks in my year of clerking for Judge Diane Wood in 1996-97: If you have an unimportant thing to do that will take a short amount of time, and an important thing to do that will take a long amount of time, do the short unimportant thing first. - Lisa Borodkin '89-'90.

We are thrilled to announce that Mike Godwin has agreed to join our panel proposal!

MIke knows a lot about the Game of Trolls. He was the first staff counsel of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), and the creator of the Internet adage Godwin's Law of Nazi Analogies. From July 2007 to October 2010, he was general counsel for the Wikimedia Foundation. In March 2011 he was elected to the Open Source Initiative board.
Godwin's Law states: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis orHitler approaches 1."Godwin's Law, coined in the days of USENET, continues to have vitality, and has been recognized as a meme by Know Your Meme.

This is an incredibly upsetting story. Thank you for covering it.

Those DEA agents should all be fired for gross negligence. The mind boggles at how many constitutional rights have been violated. The drug law enforcement system is so broken that the solution is worse than the problem.

So that's what it looks like on the other side of the Digital Divide. Interesting. BTW, your video overpowered my iBook so you came out sounding a lot like Ralph the Talking Computer.
