The internet makes the average geek (or even non-geek) a publisher.
Slashdot is a good example. There is news of Mattel filing a lawsuit against CPHack (writers and sites), the world is notified in hours.
When the DeCSS suits and arrest happened, the world knew.
Before the internet, it might have made a an underground radio broadcast.
My lawsuit against Mattel would not have seen the light of day without the internet. It might of went to trial and Mattel written a check. The internet has allowed me to warn others of the issues in the case. Not to embarass Mattel. Many people (including myself) did not know about the FMLA), but the internet allow me to learn most about the issues more than most lawyers.
Employers have informed me that they would make accomodations for their employees. People have learned of their rights, pointed out the site to their employers who gave them the leave that they requested.
It can be argued that they are just blocking it. Not subjecting a site to hatred or ridicule. Also, they do not say, because "XXX", but that it's blocked.
I would love to see them sued for libel so as to use their own defense against them! Turnabout is fair play.:)
Mattel has encrypted the list, so it is not being "published" and do not say why a site is blocked. It could be deduced by a user by playing with the settings. BUT now that Mattel knows that the list is easily decrypted and publishes the list with these statements, does it make the publication libelous. Now that everyone has the secret decoder ring
Anyone who have recevied the email from Mattel, please contact me through my site, so I may get some of the copies. It may have something I can use against Mattel to defend against them, and to take a new lawsuit against Mattel.
If someone picks on a nerd, the nerd will crash the bully's machine during an exam. How could they tell if it was a Windows crash, or an attack anyways?
Why would you have people taking the exam help you? Why not set up a few "life lines" to experts in the field? Having classmates help would be like the blind leading the blind.
This software will prevent someone from loading other packages during the exam. I guess they think that a lawyer would cheat on a bar exam. Nah, of course not.:)

This would let someone have "life lines" on IRC or via email. Will the exam question include Is that your final answer?
Ok, so, uhm. I've got a question about this RSI thing and how it relates to slashdot. I'm assuming you still have rsi. And if so, isn't it bad to be hanging out on the internet, presumably using a mouse and keyboard all the time? Is there something you do to manage it. Alternative input devices, exercises or something?
Good points. Someone has been paying attention.:) The whole point of the original lawsuit was that I needed the time for treatment and to to recover so that I could get back to work. Now it has become an issue of free speech.
As with managing it, I have been working in software development since June 1997. I have been stretching, icing, and taking breaks regularly. I will experience some limits and pain for the next several years, because of the delay in getting the treatment.
As to what this has to do with Slashdot, is that this is something that most slashdot readers are subject too, more than the regular population.
The reason that I posted this information on the site was not to embarass Mattel. Mattel has done a good job of that on their own as you can see from the last few days of news. I have done this to inform others of the condition so they may learn about it without learning about it first hand. That people can learn of their rights and assert them earlier in the process. And, if other companies see what has happended with me, they may learn what not to do. And maybe help their employees with the problem, not tell them to stop playing with themselves.

If we build a wormhole generate, will IBM sue for patent infringment?

It's on paper, but he published some of the story (up to the attack at the farmhouse).
This is just an adaptation of the method to the new media.
If you think I am kidding, ask Barbie Benson
They are using lawsuits to silence comments about their wrongdoings!
You also have to include sites of companies that Mattel owns! cyberpatrol.com, learningco.com, calandar.com, microsys.com, etc.
I would love to see them sued for libel so as to use their own defense against them! Turnabout is fair play. :)
There is another way for them to prevent the kids from using CPHack. Cyberpatrol can prevent programs from being executed.
CPHack is not a program that disables Cyberpatrol!
There are sites with very easy instructions to disable CyberPatrol.
To see what is needed for a finding of libel, it is well detailed in my summary judgment motion.

How good of a programmer are you if it takes you three hours to write a "hello world" program?
Why would you have people taking the exam help you? Why not set up a few "life lines" to experts in the field? Having classmates help would be like the blind leading the blind.
But you have to run some software from to take the exam.

You'd be faced with a dilema, fix the printer and lose your 3rd backup of Win95.
Have a paper clip, I need it to make a helicopter.
Sorry, though it's just about the same thing, what is a company without employees?
Take a look at http://www.sorehands.com/injdir/sj/sjmemo.htm to get the requirements for a libel case.
It is known as a "special motion to dismiss."
