US Military Members Had More than 15,600 Accounts on MegaUpload. It's not someone could have used megaupload for some legal activity. Lots of people were using it, the above article points to just a small subset of Americans who were doing it (the whole world used megaupload). I know American soldiers are not known for legal activity, but in this case it seems it was mostly a means of communication with their families.

Mega is one thing, Megaupload was another. I wouldn't bother with this shortening if the Mega service hadn't been created later.

Ad hominem attacks shouldn't have a place on the legal system. He looked bad and criminal and Google executives doesn't? Megaupload was doing then the same that youtube has been doing all along. Your claimed cat videos purpose has nothing to do with it.

Maybe they shouldn't have put fucking ads in their browser, then? http://siliconangle.com/blog/2...

That's basically what has happened over the last couple of days. After the joint statement on the insolvency of Mt. Gox, the Bitcoin price dove to ~$400, but started to recover not long after; it's now back up to ~$600, which isn't far from where it was before the most recent round of nonsense.

Mt. Gox is only the beginning. Once the script-kiddies get around to it then anything of value that can be stolen electronically from ordinary PCs is toast.

Yeah MtGox was big, and this will almost certainly cause bitcoin to take a slide, but there are other exchanges, and Bitcoin is bigger than just MtGox. My prediction: bitcoin will drop a lot, then slowly recover as other exchanges take the load and people see that this is not, in fact, the end of the world.

It would have to be exactly this big:

the guy who wrote it gave it to both Sun AND Android.

Um.. not sure who your "guy" is. Noser is the alleged contracting company who allegedly worked with the rangeCheck code, even after getting explicit specs. this is the crux of the argument;

"Bornstein stated that he removed some elements of Java from Android last year after Oracle filed their case in court. He explained that the Java elements came from a Swiss contractor called Noser Engineering AG, who helped them built Android. He also stated that the contracter was given instructions as to what they can and cannot use for Android. Bornstein also stated that the only thing they copied from Java are those available for public use and do not require any license from Oracle. He also admitted that he is being paid $400 per hour by Google for his time in court."

Guppies.
