"The delay in desegregation has deprived generations of students of the constitutionally guaranteed right of an integrated education," Brown wrote in a 96-page opinion . Merging black and white schools was a common desegregation method in the 1960s and 1970s, and the opinion is a reminder that desegregation lawsuits never ended in some places. Gary Orfield, who directs the Civil Rights Project at the University of California, Los Angeles, said that remedies like Brown's are unusual today. "The... Читать дальше...

Mr. Robot/USA Networks

USA Network's "Mr. Robot" offers viewers a realistic portrayal of computer hackers with very few glaring flaws, but its website had a few big ones up until recently.

Both flaws were found soon after the launch of a promo for the show's upcoming second season at whoismrrobot.com... Читать дальше...
