For those of you who don't know - during my day job I am a tax attorney. And though I am not a specialist in Constitutional Law it is my judgment that SOPA and PIPA are two of the more downright anti-American bills, in the House and Senate respectively, that I have seen in recent years (probably the worst since the last time Congress tried this stunt and, if enacted, would be even a more direct assault on liberty and freedom than the Patriot Act).

In short, these bills are a colossal affront to free speech, but don't just look to me on this - check out what one of the leading experts on U.S.

One of the great Allied advantages over Nazi Germany during World War II was their ability to regularly intercept and read otherwise encoded German communications. Though this capability was not comprehensive, with changes to the German code settings throwing the Allies off at repeated times during the war, it proved of significant assistance to the Allied war effort. Some believe Allied code-breaking efforts were so consequential as to have decisively altered the course of the war.

The central location for Allied code breaking efforts was at Bletchley Park, northwest of London.
