If for no other reason, I applaud the miscreant for at least posting the info to a place where the "hacked" party can both control the info (removing the forums) and quickly contact the affected individuals, and hell even their banks if they wanted. I'd imagine there's a large portion of corporate working on getting this cleared up ASAP.
Hell, I had one occasion where I happened across a picture of girl I used to know, unclothed. I went to Google and searched for DMCA takedown notice, and the first result was from Google itself, explaining exactly what to e-mail to them if you had an issue. I proceeded to copy most of the page, and as a representative of the female's interests, sent it off to the admin of the site, with an extra line or two about how the content was being used "for profit".
Received a reply a few hours later, and they removed both the offending picture, and the thumbnail/link to it. Granted, it probably just went up somewhere else the next day, but the point still remains that it's beyond easy to have material removed using the DMCA. The problem is, and always has been, finding the material, which opens up a whole new slew of privacy concerns and what have you.
I laugh as much as the next guy, when frivolous articles get cluttered with comedic turns. Hell, half my posts or more attempt to spin humor on the discussion. But really, how many *IAA articles have we read in which the little guy is getting the shaft, or the very same bully tactics claimed in this lawsuit are obviously used, but always in a legal manner. For once, the mafia fucked up, bad, and it's a much larger target, with the proof already in the public view.
Personally, I would have preferred to read the IANAL comments, with people trying to extrapolate exactly what effect this is going to have in future cases in the states, when judges have a reason to be suspicious. That would have been a much better read in addition to TFA. This whole thread was just weak.
Maybe the best thing that occurs from all this is we, on the sidelines, learn from their mistakes.
I'd love to, but then I'd actually have to RTFA, and I don't have time today. I have to get a copy of my birth certificate and a visa, so I can help out my new Nigerian friend with a lucrative situation.
While most stars travel along together around the disk of our Milky Way, Mira is charging through it. Because Mira is not moving with the "pack," it is moving much faster relative to the ambient gas in our section of the Milky Way. It is zipping along at 130 kilometers per second, or 291,000 miles per hour, relative to this gas.
So, while I'm just some guy on the net, it seems to me that the article states Mira as moving against the grain, rather than just orbiting like our sun. It also says it's going at twice the speed wikipedia told you, "relative to the ambient gas". So I don't know who to believe, NASA, or Wikipedia. This is indeed a conundrum.

You're the third person I quoted the article for. I know, I know, it's Slashdot, people don't want to read. I happen to like the stories posted here more almost as much as the comments
When astronomers first saw the picture, they were shocked because Mira has been studied for over 400 years yet nothing like this has ever been documented before.
and
Because it was the first variable star with a regular period ever discovered, other stars of this type are often referred to as "Miras."
This just in. Jesus is suing both companies, stating his clear association with the cross as grounds for an ex parte decision on royalties owed. His lawyers were heard to be discussing another possible suit, dealing with defamation of product trust concerning the blood the ARC has been collecting. Turns out, getting a transfusion won't in fact clear you of your sins. More at 11.
I just downloaded the official client for the MMO Granado Espada: Sword of the New World using their torrent. Max'd out the 5M cable at 580+. I prefer it over web-download, because I can throttle the speeds of it, and the porn I'm uploading to maintain my ratio on that, and still do whatever I like. I have no need for the clunkiness of a "download manager".
He will be missed, as many have stated, for all the childhood memories he has created. I find it sad to a degree that America's youth don't have programming like this, that is to say: entertaining, informational, and an introduction to what is undoubtedly a very necessary study, science.
Or, you can go to the local dollar store and buy a keyring that will respond with a beep when you whistle, or clap. I'd imagine it's much cheaper, and privacy issues are non-existent, since it's a 1970's technology.

Hi, it's Tim from Pandora,
I'm writing today to ask for your help. The survival of Pandora and all of Internet radio is in jeopardy because of a recent decision by the Copyright Royalty Board in Washington, DC to almost triple the licensing fees for Internet radio sites like Pandora. The new royalty rates are irrationally high, more than four times what satellite radio pays and broadcast radio doesn't pay these at all. Left unchanged, these new royalties will kill every Internet radio site, including Pandora.
In response to these new and unfair fees, we have formed the SaveNetRadio Coalition, a group that includes listeners, artists, labels and webcasters. I hope that you will consider joining us.
Please feel free to forward this link/email to your friends - the more petitioners we can get, the better.
Understand that we are fully supportive of paying royalties to the artists whose music we play, and have done so since our inception. As a former touring musician myself, I'm no stranger to the challenges facing working musicians. The issue we have with the recent ruling is that it puts the cost of streaming far out of the range of ANY webcaster's business potential.
I hope you'll take just a few minutes to sign our petition - it WILL make a difference. As a young industry, we do not have the lobbying power of the RIAA. You, our listeners, are by far our biggest and most influential allies.
As always, and now more than ever, thank you for your support.
Rest assured, economics and ego will always find a way to keep a financial/mental "lower class" around. Those with a choice like to have the broken and downtrodden near at hand, else there would be no one to look down on and use as examples to your children. A fact I count on for my existence to have any merit. I mean, if I can't be that guy in the ratty clothes that you use to scare your children into becoming something more, what do I have left?
Just received, and followed, this e-mail today. I encourage everyone to do the same, as it will send e-mails out to your local representative(s) in the house and senate. I quote:

Crap. :(

Don't go jumping to conclusions now, maybe Georgie boy just wanted the guy captured so he could transmute his sentence as well.
What about those with Epilepsy? Could this be considered excessive force if they went into a seizure?

You say "now" like this is some new low for government.

I admit, I haven't looked at any recent state by state comparisons, but wouldn't his absence in fact be an improvement in this instance?
