vjblog: Patriots and Open Source Cells

A couple of things caught my eye this week. AgentCell, a joint University of Chicago and Department of Energy project has developed software to simulate the intracellular processes and behavior of individual cells. The software, which includes a 3D environment for the cells to move about in, is being released under a BSD license. The Patriot Act was quietly extended to grant the FBI the power to conduct searches without having to obtain Judicial order. Music: Morganistic's In The Shadow mixed with the argument from the U.S. Supreme Court hearing of Kent v. Dulles.
