…severely limit organizing by them and other human rights advocates. Formal registration as a group is already forbidden to L.G.B.T.I. organizations.

Capricology: Tattoos, Blood, Cyber-Dating

By Anthea Butler

…ke away that free will, except for those who have the capacity to hack the code and reprogram the car. We normally think of robots as almost pure code, yet the scene last week when Graystone orders the Zoebot to rip off her arm raises some interesting stakes in this.

…ene, as the Egyptian authorities did in 2007 when they banned The Da Vinci Code. The Coptic community—which accounts for roughly 10 percent of the nation’s 80 million citizens—had raised alarm and demanded that both the book and movie be banned.

If an American occupying force is not viewed with favor by the people of Afghanistan, is a federation of local warlords?

Given his five options, the teenager Mohamud chose, not surprisingly, to become “operational.” But all he knew about what it meant to become operational was based on what he had seen on the news, particularly the news coverage of car bombs in the Middle East and the November 26, 2008 attacks in Mumbai. Most tellingly in th…
