Slashdot unfortunately don't offer an RSS for searches.

On another note I just had an hour long phone call with Claer Barrett who writes for the Investors Chronicle at Financial Times about Phorm and RIPA. It was a very constructive discussion and I extended gratitude on behalf of us all to the Financial Times for getting actively involved in the issue.

I will let you all know when the article is due to be published.

you might use this google news search with the site: directive set for /.

perhaps you can use google rss in some way to feed your own Rss, i dont use rss so not really sure

http://news.google.com/news?oe=utf-8...nG=Search+News

you might be better to use this basic REBOL script as a base to parse slashdot and/or combine it with the above in some way ?....

------------cut
url: read http://slashdot.org/index.rss
parse/all url [
any [
<title> copy title to </title>
(print title)

|
<description> copy desc to </description>
(print desc)
|
skip
]
to end
]
-------------cut

taken from here
http://www.oreilly.com/pub/a/mac/200...scripting.html

i cut and pasted it into the rebol view shell, and it parses the url and displays the text......

but it needs more work to make it look pritty, perhaps a GUI scrolly banner rebol script example exists, if you can be bothered to find it, and add its content if your a happy script writer Alexander...

Alexander Hanff's Legal Analysis of the Phorm Trials
Cable Forum's Alexander Hanff has made public his dissertation on a legal analysis of BT's secret Phorm trials, which took place during 2006 and again in 2007. Hanff has carefully analysed the relevant EU and UK laws, statutes and directives to find that, "fundamental legal requirements were not met."

Hanff goes on to conclude that BT's covert trials were illegal under criminal law and unlawful under common law, pointing towards the need for relevant public authorities to, "officially investigate the matter in the interests of public justice.":
