  1. Re:you know what would have been great? on Google Publishes Censorship Map · · Score: 1

    This news isn't five months old, the data isn't even that old. You may be thinking of the last time Google updated the transparency report.

  2. Re:Immature and Gun Happy on Hunters Shot Down Google Fiber · · Score: 1

    Because the troops at Kent State and the May Day riots of 1919 were unwilling to fire on Americans. Any time you can get one group to view another as the other you can get them to commit violence.

    It also sounds a lot like New Rome, Ohio before its dissolution. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Rome,_Ohio

    After this I think there's a good number of people looking to find him a nice position in the Marcellus Shale Formation.

    Perfectly standard for cases involving the edical status of a minor.

    It was a point mutation in the gene for the 16S ribosomal RNA (T2387C) according to http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/?p=66 . Unknown in this case means unknown at the time of vaccination, not unknown currently.

    According to the NEJM it is encephalopathy. http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp0802904#ref2 The catch is that the ruling mentions autism in the heading as that was the allegation. http://www.uscfc.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/CAMPBELLSMITH.%20DOE77082710.pdf The government settled with calling it encephalopathy with features of autism spectrum disorder.

    Enter those coordinates into Google maps and it comes up as Pussy Creek, Harrison, OH.

    39.73056, -82.10139 pussy creek ohio. Perry county slightly south of Crooksville. It isn't a city, but shockingly enough a creek. It isn't recognized by the post office though.

  11. Re:sounds pretty libelous to me on Plagiarizing a Takedown Notice · · Score: 1

    In the case of child molester you would probably not be okay. It might very well fall under libel per se.

  12. Re:oh darn on Craigslist Removes Its Controversial Adult Section · · Score: 1

    I'm not denying that plenty of legal professions have significant risks. I'm just saying that listing HIV and Hepatitis as risks of food service is silly.

  14. Re:oh darn on Craigslist Removes Its Controversial Adult Section · · Score: 1

    You know, I worked food service for a few years and while I certainly caught a few colds I can't honestly say that the chance to catch HIV or Hepatitis ever arose from my work. Sure, out of work activities carried all of their usual risk, but I never remember bodily fluid transfer being a part of any recipe I worked with.

  15. Re:But what created the law of gravity? on Hawking Picks Physics Over God For Big Bang · · Score: 1

    Then what created that? At some point no matter what set of beliefs you hold you come to a handful of options. Something sprang into being or something has always been there.

    Not when it is across a reflecting pool from a giant white spike surrounded by open land.

  17. Re:as an american i say: on Legal Threat Demands Techdirt Shut Down · · Score: 1

    I really wish this myth would die already. The US is still the largest manufacturing nation in the world. http://unstats.un.org/unsd/snaama/dnllist.asp If the US can be classed as not making anything useful anymore, then I would hate to see how little is made elsewhere. We are less dominant now than we were and there are significantly fewer jobs, but we still make more than anyone else.

  18. Re:Foreshadowing. on Sweden Defends Wiki Sex Case About-Face · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I really don't get why everyone assumes a frame up job would have to originate with the US. Wikileaks has pissed off a lot of people with enough resources to cause trouble. Some of the people they have exposed have just as bad a record on how they deal with enemies and I'm sure can spot an opening when everyone is assuming the US.

    Buildings over 4 units in Cleveland have to contract out their trash pick up if I remember correctly.

    The new bins are part of the automating of trash pick ups. There are savings beyond the rate for the recycling.

    The recycling program saves money that can be used for other things. And while Cleveland has problems it beats Cincinnati in many things, like quality of life. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_by_quality_of_living

  22. Re:Recycling is Bullshit on Smart Trash Carts Tell If You Haven't Been Recycling · · Score: 1

    No, but if they are going to pick up your unwanted goods they expect you not to throw things they could extract value in with it. You are still free in Cleveland to sell your recycling, they just won't cart it away for free in one can instead of the other.

    No, it likely doesn't. The Pentagon papers case pretty clearly showed that you can freely publish and read classified documents if you don't have a top secret clearance.
