Precedents
May. 12th, 2005 02:40 pmI'm finally done with finals. W00t! The physics test wasn't bad. It had one really cool bit, a proof where I calculated the speed of light based on Maxwell's equations. (Note: By "really cool" I meant "fun if you're a horrible nerd like me".)
Our group's EDS presentation also went well, and we did finally get our version of the experiment to work:
( The Experiment )
In politics, I'm very worried by the government's passage of the Real ID Act. The act is a huge threat to privacy rights, fails to protect the identities of public servants and undercover officers, and makes it harder for refugees to seek asylum in the US.
However, what I'm really worried about is this, a small passage hidden in the Real ID act, which was itself hidden in a popular emergency military appropriations bill. I don't like the precedent the Republicans are trying to set up.
