?Blogger Robert Cox tried everything he could do to get The New York Times to change its ways. After he read an incorrectly abridged quote in a Maureen Dowd column last year, he tried in vain to get a correction in the paper. He vented, he raged, he rallied the blogosphere and even some other newspapers. But in the end, his parody of the Times? correction page ? and the overreaction from the Times? legal department ? got the newspaper to change its policy.?

Banned Nepali radio station transmits
via megaphone
06/24/2005 06:43 PM
Cory Doctorow: A Nepali radio station that has been banned under the new, post-coup regime has gone back on the air. Every night, a commentator stands on the roof of his now-useless radio-station and reads the news over a megaphone to an audience of hundreds.
Every evening, about 300 people gather on a roadside in Biratnagar, 500 kilometers (310 miles) east of Katmandu to listen to Keshav Bhattarai read out the news from an open air studio on the roof of a narrow, three-story building.

As well as spreading the news, the service stands for a free media, Bhattarai tells his audience, a motley collection of politicians, teachers, students, traders and anyone who just happens to be passing.

There have been tons of stories about students' private data accidentally being placed online, so yet another story about that isn't particularly newsworthy. However, what's amusing about this story, found by the Raw Feed is the response from officials at Johns Hopkins University to the information leak. The leak was first found by a student who did a Google search, and discovered her info was linked from the search engine results. So, with that in mind, you wouldn't really expect a school official to defend the "security through obscurity" practice, but that's exactly what he did: "The file was in a very obscure place. You would have had to gone looking for them." No, you would just have to use Google, which already did the looking part for you.
