Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

Hey, regarding Amazon disabling USB downloads: It can be totally bypassed with a download of free software, and one can strip out the DRM, by following the instructions at the link. Then the files are yours to do with as you will, as they should be.
