The government needs to stop thinking about whats good for its sponsors and start thinking about whats good for the people. Copyright law has already gone to far!
Sooner or later someone (university admissions, potentional employer, whatever) is going to get themselves badly sued over this, and frankly it serves them right for making snap judgments based on what amounts to unproven rumours.
Quite ironic considering they don't like people referencing Wikipedia.
Register your fullname.com if possible and keep it in reserve. You can post your side of the storey here if someone does go on a slander attack.
Use Google alerts to notify you if your details appear online. (its about the best there is at this point)
Be accountable, if someone accuses you of something and you have a big dispute online, always sign each message with your Name and Email. This increases your credibility because you are contactable and accountable over messages you post.
By Palin using yahoo, it's not closely watched and she can conduct official business off the record. It's very poor form to do so and is the real story here.
I wonder how man other government personnel use non official email addresses to conduct business.
The DMCA should be abolished I have never seen a legitimate use for it. There is something terribly wrong with our system that we even allow automated censorship to be apart of our society.
If you do anything someone doesn't like your screwed. You don't even have to do anything at all, if someone wants money they can sue you for damages and if you can't afford to go to court your screwed.
I have to agree, It's pretty pathetic to just give in when someone lodges a complaint what happened to the good old response emails telling the cry babies where to cram it?
I completely agree that most fatalities occur in younger, inexperienced drivers. But most accidents, at least here, are caused by old people.
You have to remember that younger people often spend far more time behind the wheel. I live 20Mile north of the city my Girlfriend lives 10Miles south and I work 15Mile to the east.
I don't live within walking or cycling distance to anyone I know so it's car or nothing.
Remember, old people don't drive well because they are impaired... Young people don't drive well because they make reckless and/or inexperienced decisions. If you want to restrict licenses, then you should probably start with not issuing licenses until the mid twenties for males and late teens to early 20s for women... It seems teen/young adult wrecks coincide pretty well with frontal lobe development... which in itself, could be labeled an impairment.
and revoke female license holders once they reach the age of 30, and were all set.
Do I get this correctly? People who have no right on a licence to drive can get a drivers licence?
Something like that sounds just silly. Also where I live the police will take away your drivers licence for anything from a few hours to always when law says so (e.g. DUI, speeding,...) by thus taking away your licence to drive.
And what about those little people who have not yet reached the age to be able to drive?
Here in Australia a drivers license is a constitutional right, anyone who asks for one and pays the fee is issued one regardless of their ability to handle a motor vehicle. The same government then uses the soaring number of road deaths to justify lowering the speed limits in order to handout more speeding infringements.
Before 1978 the idea of licensing was new in Australia, because I have a hard time believing that even half of all drivers over the age of 30 ever received any instruction on the traffic laws at all.

I suppose anyone looking out the window as they drive past your house is "Casing the joint".
The difference between government sponsors and tax payers is that the government needs to satisfy the sponsor in order to get paid.

My ISP monitors bandwidth usage at their end.
Seems a little stoneage to use configuration settings on the users router.
No, because websites are not accountable for user generated content.

Apple are a bunch of Nazis!
There are precautions you can take.

Only in the United States!
Your better of to just ignore libel and tell your side of the storey.
Open the photograph with a text editor and you can see the Meta Tags left behind by photoshop.
It's called being human!
So what if someone made an ass of themselves, I know plenty of people who have and still do but when it comes to work will act responsibly.
You also have to take libel into account and get the full storey.
Out of interest, how do you break a bandwidth cap?

Websites are not accountable for content posted by their users, DMCA means I can have anything I don't like pulled offline, How is that a fair system?
Why are you trying to read the article? Im surprised it only took 100 comments to be noticed.
Your saying more fatalities happen to younger people, I'm saying young people use the road more than older people.
Unless I missed something.

America has always been like that.

Valid? DMCA notice?!?!?
I'd like to see that!

That's because teenage drivers are all learners.

ummm drivers license, not license plate... and a license is easier to lose.
How? it's in your wallet.
A passport on the other hand doesn't normally have a designated place and as a result is more likely to be misplaced.
