For anyone interested and with an extra almost three hours to kill, there was a significant court hearing on Friday in Jewel v. NSA. It was video'd under an experimental pilot program, the video is at http://www.uscourts.gov/Multimedia/Cameras/NorthernDistrictofCalifornia.aspx?video_uuid=tg d2h877&categoryId=48197%20 Sadly, a proprietary format that won't play well with Linux. -- James S.
