This guy must have had a completely shit lawyer, if anything above a provided public defender.
Any first-year law student would know enough to sit through the initial arrest meeting and say "This is ridiculous, where's your proof of sexual misconduct?"
As they have NONE at all, and this is America, where you are INNOCENT until PROVEN GUILTY, they would have nothing to convict with and this would be an open-and-shut short-term harassment of some interweb video guy by a douchenuts radical that is probably more of a danger to children than this youtuber.
I don't understand how it requires significant funding to write a set of rules. Is this money used to pay people for their time writing the legislature? I was under the impression that this was exactly what the Senators and Representatives in the government are paid for already...
Perhaps for once politicians could do something that benefits someone other than themselves? Nah, guess that's asking too much.
It is in no way easier to land on the moon than on Mars. There is an atmosphere on Mars, albeit not a life-supporting one, which allows for the use of parachutes and non-vacuum equipment.
The moon does not have the same benefit, and therefore all forces generated throughout all of landing and maneuvering must be created with thrusters of some sort. It also exposes the equipment sent there to some serious temperatures, constant vacuum, and some really really nasty dust. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that the difference in gravity would make it harder as well.
It's not 'Wartime' because war has not formally been declared against anyone (outside of the conceptual 'terror'). It's an extended military conflict, which is perpetuating some sort of oilmongering deal Bush began.
Why Obama tolerates it continuing is well beyond me. It would only require a single command, as he IS Commander-in-Chief, to bring every single one of our troops home. Someone must have some good dirt on him...
Were you being sarcastic? Because I agree with just about everything you said...up until 'Censorship is Good'.
Forbidding your children from exposure to crazy logic-defying shit like Sarah Palin and the bible/christianity/any organized religion is just good parenting. It has nothing to do with censorship, or violent video games.
How many times did Bush say "If you're not with us, you're against us"? It was more than once... This bullshit mentality, along with the US Government stance of "Give us what we want or we'll shoot you and take it" next to the 2nd amendment pushers of guns for completely bogus reasons: THAT is the cause behind the Arizona shooting. Not video games, or religion, or any of that other stuff you'd love to blame.
Do we need handguns "for the freedom of our nation"? Fuck no, we don't. Do we need assault rifles "to maintain a well-ordered militia"? Of course not, we have a well-organized army and national guard now. Should every random fucker on the street be able to go buy a machine whose sole purpose is KILLING? Of course not, that would be... stupid.
Well, I didn't mean to post that as AC but Slashdot's new board system didn't even prompt me to login or let me know in any way I was posting as AC...so...yeah, that was me.
the computer network of the company that runs the Nasdaq Stock Market
Well there's your first problem. What the hell is a private corporation doing controlling an entire nation's stock market? If it's something so huge and influential and important to the country it can be the target of attack to disrupt our economy, it should damn well be under Military-grade security and government control.
So pull the leverage to your side. If you sue them for lost wages in dealing with their frivolous harassment, then they don't have the option of dropping that suit. If you sue for harassment in general, they don't get to say "Nevermind, we weren't harassing you...suit dropped".
It may be an expense they expect, but the time suck will make it completely worthless for them to continue with that tactic.
Well, in reality, it only requires a little reading and some common sense.
Considering that only 705 Watts fall on a square meter of the earth, and calling this dish a square meter is generous, he has roughly a poorly-focused 700W light source.
Even if this was in space, it would only have 1336 Watts of power.
The entirety of Earth only receives 174 Petawatts from the sun.
The approximate luminosity of the sun at its location is 384.6 Yottawatts.
Nice try kid, this thing is neat, but don't go hyperbole on us and claim that it has 192,300,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Watts of power.
Then, when the US Government reacts surprisingly similarly to how China reacted when one of its dissidents won, the world (and more importantly the US citizens) will finally understand what type of country we really live in.
Speaking out when they don't want you to is one of the highest forms of patriotism. Remember that being patriotic is about loyalty to your country and its ideals, not the government or the corrupt bastards that run it.
the same as Microsoft uses to detect and ban 360's
Um, no? M$ uses the MAC and unique console ID and does the banning entirely on their own end. There is no code executed on the 360 at all.
If this is more than speculation, couldn't Sony be tried for the same 'hacker' bullshit they tried some kids for over the last few years, which I believe was "using a computer system without authorization" or something along those lines? If it's not legal for us, it's not legal for them.
If hovering around #50 - #75 is "near-number 1".......why do so many people mistakenly believe Apple is this huge conglomerate when it isn't? Microsoft, Dell, Bank of America, Verizon, HP, hell even the Bank of China - they are all larger than Apple by a measurable amount.
You're surprised exactly...why? The government is CORRUPT. It has been since before I was born, and it will be long after I die. If it's not in its current form, it will be in some other way invading our lives in ways we disagree with.
My question now is: So now that the EFF found this out, what exactly do they plan to do about it? Is this one of those "Well we found out about it, but fixing it is someone else's gig!" organizations?
I only ask because those help nobody, and I wish that everyone involved with them would choke on their misplaced self-satisfaction and do us the courtesy of dying.
Anytime a Republican (especially when there's more than one of them) proposes a modification to election, you should immediately scrutinize it to death.
Republicans, and often Democrats too, don't do anything that isn't immediately advantageous to them and their own.
If you're going to modify elections, try direct popular vote for once. None of that "Well, your state only gets ___ votes so your vote didn't count" bullshit.
If one person gives permission to another person to post their image, but does not upload it themselves, they are providing an image which is illegal for Facebook to use but legal for the uploader to upload.
In this respect, the person whose image is used without consent can sue Facebook, and there are no legal charges which Facebook can pursue against either of them.
Facebook needs to stop playing fast and loose with personal information and content. I hope a couple thousand lawsuits pop up from this causing them to realize once and for all that they are not entitled to my information, or to use it in any way they wish.

I'm curious why the link that says 'Professional' links to some random tone-deaf douchebag who couldn't be funny if his life depended on it?

Proxies are seriously slow unless you configure your own in some way, or know someone with a nice low-user high-speed setup in an anonymous location.

I think a botnet would be just about the best use possible for that heaping pile of shit.

I don't like Apple products, so I don't buy them.
If their cult-like followers stop trying to push Apple crap in my face, I'll stop badmouthing them too.
Simple is not better, it's just simple. I am a programmer, and I can't work with simple. I need that extra mile of control Windows and Linux give me.

It's easy to criticize from your couch, after the fact. If you're not going to do something better about it yourself, shut the fuck up.
