mfh writes "StarForce has issued threats to Boing Boing's Cory Doctorow in retaliation to Cory's post about the anti-copy malware that installs itself along with many popular (and unpopular) video games."

From the BoingBoing post: "Yesterday, I posted about StarForce, a harmful technology used by game companies to restrict their customers' freedom. StarForce attempts to stop game customers from copying their property, but it has the side-effects of destabilizing and crashing the computers on which it is installed. Someone identifying himself as 'Dennis Zhidkov, PR-manager, StarForce Inc.' contacted me this morning and threatened to sue me, and told me that he had contacted the FBI to complain about my 'harassment.'"

a statement from Jill Carroll's father to her captors.
via the CS monitor. clip dated Jan. 23.

...

I wish to speak to the men holding my daughter. I hope that you heard the conviction in Jill's voice when speaking of your country. That was real. She is not your enemy.

When you release her alive, she will tell your story with the same conviction. Alive my daughter will not be silenced.

Yours is a story which can to be told to the world by Jill. Allowing her to live and releasing her will enable her to do so.

As you know by now, my daughter is honest, sincere, and of good heart. Her respect for the Iraqi people has been shown through her words as a reporter.

Jill started to tell your story, please, allow her to finish it.

Through the media if necessary, advise her family and me how to initiate a dialogue which will lead to her release.

---...---...--- - ideapark.org loop news for Wednesday, January 25 - ...---...--- - Mountain Justice is organizing a film festival in Blacksburg, Virginia to help raise awareness about the social and environmental impact of surface mining. Films will be shown on the Virginia Tech campus. Please stay tuned to the ideapark.org loop for details. - ...---

from the Mountain Justice website:

BLACKSBURG - The first Mountain Justice Film Festival will be held Wednesday evenings in February in 3100 Torgersen at 7 p.m. Guest speakers will be on hand to lead discussions about issues raised in the documentary films.

Mountain Justice at Virginia Tech, a student organization, is sponsoring the festival with the Appalachian Studies Program as a co-sponsor.

The festival begins February 1 with a showing of Part 2 of the PBS series "The Appalachians."
This documentary focuses on the region's natural resources and efforts to save them.

Next, excerpts from several films are planned for February 8. The first two films, "Buffalo Creek Flood: An Act of Man" and "Buffalo Creek", examine the impact of the 1960s Buffalo Creek flood and its aftermath in West Virginia. The film "To Save the Land and People" documents a similar flood in Kentucky.

The film "Sludge", to be shown February 15, explores a recent coal waste flood disaster in eastern Kentucky and the whistleblower case of Jack Spadero. The filmmaker, Robert Salyer, will introduce the film and lead a discussion afterwards.

The festival concludes on February 22 with the filmmaker, Jeff Barrie, presenting his documentary "Kilowatt Ours". In this film, Barrie takes viewers on his journey from exploring the consequences of a coal-based economy to the practical solutions that
individuals can take to create a net zero nation.

Working Films, in partnership with Sierra Club Productions and Appalshop, provided the initial funding for this film festival.

Information about the Mountain Justice student organization is available online at www.mountainjustice.org.vt.edu

letters to dogs on trucks jr.

dear dogs on trucks jr. is it true you that you scavenge broken-down websites for parts?
if so I am curious to know what you are building with the parts.

sincerely, Kenella

---...---

dear Kenella, I am using these parts to build little passenger vehicles for people who are stuck waiting for a ride on the edge of the Information Superhighway because the bus driver on the Grand Ultimate Celebrity Information Wagon Deluxe forgot to go to work again today.

Thanks for writing! Sincerely, Dogs on Trucks Jr.
