Yeah, having myspace set legal precedent is a great idea. Since they do such a good job with things like css, (d)html, javascript and the like. I'm sure they'd do incredibly well in the judicial system.
Before you freak out, please read this post as sarcastic.
I read it and felt the same. While I do find dark and oft times off colour humour funny, this type of thing just makes me sad. We live in a world that not only makes killing easy, it makes killing others a fun and a game.
Much like Edison Electric didn't fold when he died. Or Ford Motor Company hasn't rolled over and died. You can go on ad nauseam with examples. I do not know why this continues to be such a big deal.
I heard he mined the minerals and metals himself. Smelted and forged them. Used his own personal laser pointer to hand cut every chip. Speaks in code to a special computer that compiles it on the fly. And then hand assembles each and every Apple devise.
We'll be able to look back and tell our grandchildren that we remember a day when the internet didn't have coffee makers and refrigerators chattering all day.
A day when it was just computers and a few scant cell phones...
While my comment was just a dark jibe, you've really hit the full underlying crux.
When you see kids with an arsenal under their bed shooting up a school you have to ask: Why aren't the parents being charged?
I've often held that if a kid does the crime both do the time. I think that would solve many issues we have. But in a society, or world, that loves to find blame on the Other, it is very few who are honorable enough to say "I failed" when it's their kid.
Facebook really isn't about networking, it's about ego stroking and getting your 15min of fame. Congratulations, you've got it. Now you and your sucklings can move on.
I don't care how many "friends" she has. If she doesn't like the policy she can cough up the $4/month and get her own site. Perhaps she could ask those "friends" to contribute.
It's interesting to note that all of the participants in the challenge last year got an all expenses paid vacation to an undisclosed location. I guess it was a really cool vacation since none of them returned home.
Since God is the attributed author of the Bible, I think we should prosecute god!
Since Abraham strapped his son to an altar and was in the process of performing ritual sacrifice on him. Or that naked Moses, that's offensive. God only knows what those three "wise" men really wanted with a swaddling clad Jesus and his virgin (and underage I might add) mother.
If we're going to get the religious right nutters involved, we might as well get the completely involved!
Who knew a Speak and Spell could amass that much data? Maybe it's the high scores from Minesweeper and Solitaire that did it? Perhaps Bush's tutorials from Mavis Beacon's typing?
I'd really have thought with Bush's user level and Cheney's underhanded nature you'd have been able to archive their entire administration on a few floppies.
I cannot wait 'till the day the RIAA accidentally hits a judge's, congressman's, or senator's kids in a lawsuit. I wonder how long they'll be able to keep that lawsuit going.

That certainly didn't take long to have the rhetoric fail and the reality take charge.

How will they carry on without him?

Those were the days.
As if they'd never recoup that in the copious amount of free adverts they've already received?
I'm sure none of his companies will directly benefit from his appointment.
That's easy, it'll go back to books.

Warning: Poor parenting leads to disaffected members of society.
This falls into that whole super-hero vigilante category. Just ask yourself, what would batman do?
Before you know it, they'll be just like the UK.
"How would you feel if every Twitter you sent, every video uploaded, was to be stored and held against you in perpetuity?"
You mean it's not? Seriously, I'd be shocked if it were not stored waiting to rise up and bite me on the ass at the most inopportune moment.
Google warning of privacy issues is like an arsonist holding a can of gas and a lit match shouting FIRE in an already burning theater.
If Evan Kohlmann were to link to examples of this would he then be put on a watchlist? Would we if we followed those links?
If we were, who is the real terrorist then? Perhaps the ones making the watchlist.
It's free, so how can anyone complain?
Everything will be fine. Whoever it is will have to be ITIL certified. And a good certification guarantees a perfect outcome.

Malware and Botnets will be having challenges to reverse engineer us.
I've already got my Liberty Mutual policy for this... do you?
