IANAL, but I'm pretty certain there is civil law that prohibits the disclosure of such information without benevolent intent. If they published it to warn others of a realistic risk you currently pose, that would be justified. But it sounds like they're just posting it as web fodder.
It's sort of like tortious interference, but for that they would only be publishing the true information with the intent to mess your life up. And it's not defamation, because it's true. There is law in between those that should at least make it more of a pain in the ass for them to fight than to just take it down. Something to do with revealing inflammatory information without just cause... man I wish I could remember.
Call a paralegal, they'll at least look it up without having to pay a retainer.
Better yet, do some volunteer work at several different organizations, and take it upon yourself to get every volunteer published online to rank high on search engines. Even if you don't put in a lot of volunteer hours, you get lots of good hits, the other volley's stand up for you, and you pad your resume. Win win win.
BTW single women sometimes do volunteer work to find nice single guys;)
Imagine if he were responsible for finding an alien race! His arrest could totally blow first contact and deliver us into an unwinnable intergalactic war!
"Honey I'm home! Guess what! Turns out we TOTALLY goofed on that black screen of death thing! Yeah, hard to believe, we checked it like five times and everything. Turns out it was just some malware! Yup, those pesky kids... In other news I bought us matching BMW's!"
We ourselves subject our muscles to "horrid electrodes" a.k.a. nerves all the time. It's several ranks less horrid than slashing a cow's throat and letting it bleed out.
The good news is that the best cuts of meat are those that are exercised *least*, so there's the possibility of making "even better than real" meat. Nothing wrong with that!
Do you prefer real meat, with real growth hormones, real antibiotics, real antimicrobals, and of course real captivity and really grusome death by exsanguination?
I think it's great, and I'm really curious about the energy requirements will shape up compared to growing livestock. There are meats I fear may never be replicated adequately, but ham sure ain't one of them. With no appreciable texture to speak of, I'd be happy if they managed to replicate pork flavor in a broth to add to my stir-fries etc.
It could also be very useful for recycling otherwise obsolete computers. If it gets computers in front of someone that couldn't otherwise afford one, great! If it gets a school in an impoverished area a computer room instead of just one box, even better! Talk about great promotions for Google...
I'm betting Microsoft will respond with something, can't have kids having their first computing experiences on a unix-based OS... they might grow up to be linux-heads!
Let's see you switch from Logic to an alternative editor against your will, see if your mood changes.
For those that don't know, Logic uses the most eccentric interface in pro audio software, making it the hardest software to switch to or away from. It is one of the few editors that began as a MIDI editor and added audio capabilities afterwards, most others are the other way around. It has never actually had a complete rebuild since the clunky original MIDI editor written by Germans that clearly had no appreciation for what is intuitive to studio operators. I had the distinct displeasure of starting out in computer audio using Logic Audio 2.5.2. It's come a long way, but... dayam.
"Corruption? Corruption is government intrusion into market efficiencies in the form of regulations. That's Milton Friedman. He got a goddamn Nobel Prize. We have laws against it precisely so we can get away with it. Corruption is our protection. Corruption keeps us safe and warm. Corruption is why you and I are prancing around in here instead of fighting over scraps of meat out in the streets. Corruption is why we win." Robert Baer / Stephen Gaghan - Syriana
Do you honestly think the lawsuits that make headlines are the only instances of corruption? The only reason Microsoft's unscrupulous business practices make headlines is because they're Microsoft, and not because it isn't standard practice for each and every corporation with over $1M legal budget.
If you want a reason to dislike Microsoft, start by looking at how they employ more lawyers than programmers. But unfortunately it's just more profitable that way. Much more. They have a responsibility to their stockholders to exploit it.
It gets worse - the soldiers sent by the US are generally the least skilled, routinely ill-equipped, and often unwilling. See, militaries get paid by the UN in exchange for soldiers to perform peacekeeping duties under their jurisdiction. I guess the US military figures they might as well make a buck off their slackers and make the UN pay to equip them, at the same time the US gov't is stiffing the UN on dues.
So not only are they abusing the UN's financial leniency, they're also involved in something frightfully close to indentured slavery at grave risk to their soldiers and other peacekeepers.
However, you have to pay much more than the workflow gains to get the matching iPod, monotone wardrobe, VW Beetle, and remodel your home in minimalist fashion with Ikea furnishings.
In the end, anarchy never pays. Your denial shall soon consume you, if it hasn't already.
Interesting choice of example, since Logic is Mac-only for the sole reason that Apple bought eMagic. Prior to that Logic was also available for Windows. The windows Logic users were left high and dry with no further updates or support whatsoever. Think about it - Logic for Windows was a $399 piece of software. It was also rather unorthodox, leaving users to learn entirely new audio software. Very few were of a mind to buy a Mac I assure you.
I find it ironic that a Mac user would be proud of Apple for some of its most anti-competitive behaviour, especially in this thread of all places. Apple quashing Psystar is completely legal and IMO justified, but it's nothing to be proud of.
Damn straight - sponges hold 25 times their weight in water. Imagine how much waterfront land would be flooded if it wasn't for the sponges! They could be the key to combating higher water levels from global warming!

One problem - it's the driver violating the law, not the car. If a drug user's daughter borrows the car, can police strip-search her without cause?
99% of at-fault police car accidents go unreported, so it's perfectly safe.

That's exactly what he should do. We can help with this, but we need to know more about it.
Please post exactly what you did, and your real name. We'll sort it right out.
That didn't *actually* happen y'know...

Was I the only one expecting a lava lamp?
You should be BOINC'ing your hot friends, not their computers!
That's because he's dead. Until his death in 2006 he had a Nobel Prize for economics, which he was awarded in 1976.
No Google in your hood?
I can see the sign now: DON'T BEAT OUR MEAT

Please... a pro-slaughterhouse campaign is not necessary to propagate a species of livestock...

Darker things between the sun and the observer cast a shadow outwards, ie. a solar eclipse.
