  1. Re:Brigner, not "Beringer" on ISOC Hires MPAA Executive Paul Beringer · · Score: 1

    I think we're going to know more after the dust has settled.
    Apparently there's also a lively discussion on one of ISOC's mailing-list: https://elists.isoc.org/pipermail/chapter-delegates/2012-March/009569.html

    Remember though that people often have to represent the viewpoints of the organizations that they work for.

    That may be the case for representative positions like spokesperson or similar, but as "Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Policy Officer at MPAA"? Isn't that a position which defines these viewpoints and policies?

    Yes, how sad that someone who refuses to use facebook for any reason won't get to participate in anything that happens on facebook.

    TSA-groping happens on Facebook, too? Shocking!

    For me, the convenience of being able to track my own spending far outweighs my ability to care if the government can subpoena where I buy my morning coffee from.

  10. What is up with all these bad summaries lately? on Should Snatching an iPhone Be a Felony? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This is not about an iPhone being thrown around, it's about someone else's property being damaged in excess of $500 and that being a felony in Louisiana. Whoopdeedoo, big deal.

    Norway may be granted entry before Turkey but not both.

    The people of Norway made it clear already (twice!) that they have no interest of being in the EU.
