Indeed, and I can understand her feelings. I just wish she had chosen to fight instead. She sits at the focus of a pretty fair-sized, cooperative community rich in legal and technological expertise and the will to use it - I can't think of many others in such a strong position to make a stand. She long avoided politics on Groklaw, but this is going way beyond politics, this is an attack on the rule of law itself, and we're in dire need of champions while there's still some small hope of making a difference.
Perhaps she did some soul searching and found she was not champion enough for this challenge - I seem to remember she was shaken by some of the particularly ugly attacks and intimidation directed at her over the SCO saga, not that I blame her, and the opposition this time around is far more fearsome and insidious.
Farewell PJ, we'll miss you. And I at least will be hoping you change your mind.
Fight what? There is nothing to fight. The law says you are not allowed to even tell your attorney so basically what you are saying is you wish she would destroy her life and spend time in a cell so you don't have to do anything yourself.... How about this.. How about you fucking pay respect for what she did do and realize that sometimes it's better to bite your tung and bide your time until the right moment or you've moved your shit to iceland...
Did you even listen to the audio from the meeting? At around 0:50, Mr. Armstrong says "I don't care what the press says. I don't care if people leak information...". He also says that "if you talk to your friends, family, the media,...". That doesn't sound to me like he gave the expectation that it was a confidential meeting.
What seems more likely to me is that Armstrong is in over his head and is flailing about.
Honestly it sounds like the standard 90s coke fueled executive ideal to me. I bet in the next meeting he'll ask where the guy who is suppose to take pictures is and he'll probably tell the CTO to have him fired while the head of HR is standing right next to him... and then someone will say what needs to be siad... so it has come to this....
Holding yourself to a high standard of professionalism will work out better in the long run than putting "staying employed" ahead of everything else in your life. It may cost you in the immediate short-term, but the total returns over time far outweigh the immediate costs.
Possibly. Or it could end up triggering a vicious circle of permanent unemployability, driving you to a personal bankruptcy, followed by spending the rest of your life on the street as a hobo. In which case you won't be posting about it on Slashdot, resulting in a confirmation bias.
"High standards" are for people who can afford them: the people who don't have to work for a living.
Yeah let me guess your not like those pathetic types.. No you're special, you are the only reason your employer remains in business and he knows it... I bet you take year long sabbaticals to Tibet to shop for rugs and other nick-naks.... you're one smug son-of-a-bitch aren't you?
No he's right. Busting unions is a greater benefit than exposing a security risk to Chinese crackers.
One is allowing a mind-virus to establish a foothold after glorious leader Reagan exposed them for the frauds they are and the other is a minor technical issue wich will be patched next Tuesday.
It's interesting, isn't it, that there exists people who actually think like this.
No not really... they don't drink tap water... that's for common foke and animals... Have you ever heard about...fluorination of water? Do you know what that does to a man??? Do you know where it comes from?
See? This man is trying to rationalize the most common excuse. It is not rational to think that putting an evil person into office will decrease evil, yet here he is rationalizing that very idea to himself.
Yea he is.... but I'm wondering if the electoral college would ever allow a third party to win... The only real reason we know anything about what's going on is because of the internet. Remember back when the leaks first came out how the major news outlets behavied? eh???? Honestly I'm getting a bad feeling like in 5 years we will all need a government ID to get online because of those evil hackers and neckbered pedophiles. Honestly we've always been at war with pedophiles.... to protect the children! Also to earn free coupon points for our faveroit online sites...
... but this is still "killing the animal". Those cells could have been carefully cultivated and grown into a sizeable bull-dick for me, personally, to graft to my loins. I could have given it life and it, in turn, could have definitely given life to me in return. And now somebody's just going to eat it? Well, fine, eat my dick. That doesn't make you a super hero.
Hey, I asked why it would be acceptable/ethical to do one and not the other. I didn't say I wanted to actually do it.
I donno but honestly I think you're on to something... Billionaires become Billionaires because they have no souls and are sociopaths. I bet they would pay huge amounts of money to eat babies. Sounds like a great startup idea to me!
Awwww shit.. I was looking forward to making all the underage girl prostitutes cry by paying them in bitcoins on my next visit.... I was so looking forward to that...:-(
I agree that the idea of copyright is a good one. I hope most here understand that people who create something like music or software deserve a chance to make a profit before everyone can just download it for free and give nothing back in return. Open source works because there are enough people willing to give back something whether it's a bug report or a few lines of code. Everyone is better off if the software isn't really the thing that is being sold. Now sometimes the software is the thing that is being sold and those who create it 'closed source' deserve to make some money IF people want to use it. In my opinion the problem with copyright isn't the idea, it's a solid and workable method to encourage people and business to create new things. The problem like most problems is that the populace wasn't paying attention and what was a good idea was twisted into a terrible monster just as patents have been. I'm not saying its our fucking fault but I am saying we collectively need to fucking put in some effort to fix it. I have no idea if that's really possible anymore since government has become just as much a monster as copyright and patents, more so even.
Anyway copyright should be limited, No more than 10 years I'd say. If you can't make your money back in that time frame than you fucked up. Patents I think should be something like 5 years or maybe 7. I don't know but I think a sold per-reviewed study could look at all the various industries and pick apart their profit reports and find the sweet spot for both copyright and patents. We have to wash away the greed and absurdness of both these good idea's gone bad. I can't image anyone who really thinks logically that someone should be able to live the rest of their life because they wrote one song 20 years ago. It just doesn't make any fucking sense. There is nothing magic about making music, movies or software. The only difference is once you have made them you have an unlimited supply of them which some people think means it should be worthless and free but if that was the case than no one would bother putting in the time. Sure you'd have some people doing it as a hobby but that isn't the same as doing it as a business and polishing whatever it might be over and over again because you don't have a day job taken up all your time.
I think the US got copyright right way back when but we all closed our eyes for a moment and greed twisted it into something we all hate and despise. The only other thing I have to add is those caught using something that is copyrighted for personal use shouldn't be bankrupted for it. They should have to pay for the product plus a fine of a grand or three. Now people making bootleg copies should face much hasher penalties and corporations that knowingly screw over others should get their asses handed to them since it's going to be rare to catch them in the act.
I'd like to see these problems fixed because I think it would lead to a new renaissance of creativity. Which was the whole point of these laws to begin with.
No I don't think so, If there's one thing that all the members of the UN Security Council can agree on it's that its imperative to have total control over the message. Whatever message that might be. Anyone who doesn't love and respect their great leaders are terrorist and their message can't be allowed to be heard or else others might become infected with ideas. Idea's that are not approved by our great leaders are dangerous and can spell disaster the likes that have never been seen on earth. We have to think of the children, protect them from hearing anything that could hurt them and make them not love there respective country. All messages must be controlled or horrible things will happen. Freedom of thought can't be allowed to spread...
I honestly don't want any nation or group of nations to control the Internet. I want basement dwelling nerds to maintain the Internet. I don't want them making any rules, I just want them to maintain and improve the speed and function of greatest creation ever to slip past governmental oversight...
I don't know how this can be done but I pray for all of us. My god protect the Internet for it is GOOD in all of its troll infested, donkey porn, spam filled, flame war greatness... Ah-men...
The US constitution might seem better to a casual reader, but that's only possible because the lofty rhetoric about freedom has always been interpreted in practice in much the same ways that you detest in the ECHR.
Hey now I'm not saying we in the US are any more free than people anywhere else. I honestly have never seen Article 10 written out before because it doesn't mean much to me here in the US and I've never had the chance to travel to Europe and only know a few people over there. My remakes aren't flag-waving nationalist bullshit I am just really shocked by the wording. To me it reads as I had said. That you have freedom except you don't... It honestly makes me sad because I'd love to leave the US permanently one day and I always figured most of Europe, except the UK, was generally better than the US in most every way but I guess I have been wearing rose colored glasses...
The devil is in the details, which is why the elegant simplicity of the US Constitution is vastly preferable to these more complicated, lawyerly expressions of "rights", designed by politicians, for politicians.
Just the wording oozes with the power hungry not wanting to give up their power:
Article 10 – Freedom of expression 1. Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers. This article shall not prevent States from requiring the licensing of broadcasting, television or cinema enterprises.
2. The exercise of these freedoms, since it carries with it duties and responsibilities, may be subject to such formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society, in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others, for preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence, or for maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary.
Loopholes big enough to drive an Airbus through. And I didn't even bother highlighting "public safety", "prevention of disorder or crime" or other get out of jail free cards rendering the whole thing largely meaningless.
Holly shit... that basically says you have freedom of speech and then the remainder says you have no freedom of speech... That is totally fucking meaningless, It should just read - "You have the right to freedom of expression as long as we don't disagree with what you're saying".
It would be useful for Identity theft. A lot of services use a text message or call to reset passwords.... I can think of 5 other things but I'll keep them to myself as I wouldn't want to add anything to the discussion...
I think DEF CON should invite some Chinese government types to give talks about jobs in chinia... not because I want them to get any help from DEF CON but because I want to see the eye's and ear's of the FEDs to bleed when they realize what they they have done. They have pissed off the lurking stench in the darkness. That which lives in darkness craves hot-pockets.... O and sell scary magical computer knowledge to the enemy. Their magic can make doors lock and computers explode with the force of a brick of c4! They should have a musilum out reach booth as well... Just everything to freak out the boys upstairs...
Also DEF CON needs to have a TSA check points where normal clean cut people who don't know what cpu means gets asked to 'step over here' by security and are degraded as far as legally allowed. Then they need to be refunded their ticket or whatever and asked to leave private property. After their photo's are uploaded into the new "Known Federal Employee Database"...
Also Federal Wireless frequencies should randomly drop in and out and all cell calls should get routed and recorded for later lol review by DefF con Cell Sites.... Plus all internet wi-fi should have fake certs and install bit-coin mining software as we need a farm at Langley to pay for the defense of good hackers...
Fuck you! You fascist Nazi fuck! This is Slashdot. Learn to take the good with the bad. Being able to post AC is necessary regardless who abuses it.
Wait I have no problem free speach.. but screaming RANCID ASSHOLE, COCK, ETC, ETC over and and over is just stupid and what the GP was posted had nothing to do with anything and I think it would be funny if everyone knew who he is since apparently he is so eager to post the same cut/paste message in every article. I'm not asking for him to be prosecuted or anything like that. I just want to know the time and IP address so I can track his identity down and post his picture and all these messages on facebook or something like that...
Because people need to eat. Do I need to go further?
No, I think you need to come up with a real argument instead. Your statements are a good example of the irrational nonsense that keeps coming up. Why in the world would you think that the observation that people need food is remotely relevant? Food just isn't that expensive. Nor is shelter for that matter.
Here in the US it sure as hell is EXPENSIVE. you can't live and eat on minimum wage. I'm on disability. I get $710 from Social Security and 56 a month in food stamps. That is my total income. I have been legally deemed not to be able to work because of a medical condition. Before I had my own LLC and was living very nicely. I was not in debt, in fact my FICO was around 800...
OK so you do this experiment. Take $766 and live off it. The only thing I am thankful for is I have medical insurance because of the Disability. So how much do you make a month and how could you live off what I posted above?
Why do you believe that all homosexuals are pedophiles and in the closet? Is it because you're a pedophile and in the closet? That would make sense -- you can only imagine the world as you experience it. Maybe your were molested as a child. Well, that's wrong and nobody should have to experience it. But you can break the chain, come out of the closet, and have normal homosexual relations with other adult men.
But I like the closet, It makes me feel warm and safe and I was trolling the troll Mr Anonymous Coward..
The best choice I made was when I decided to be gay (and it is a choice. Hooray for pro choice!). I remember thinking: do I want to stick my penis into a girl's vagina or a boy's asshole?
It's really sad that people like the above AC just can't come out and admit that they are gay to their family. Everyone here stopped giving a shit about these messages years ago and it only annoys us when we've had a hard day and come home to find out that once again a closet homosexual and possible pedophile has no other outlet than posting these pointless fantasies. I really wish Dice would leak their IP logs on these people so those of us with the skill can just go ahead and out them and get it over with.
I'm sure they think they are safe behind 7-proxies but I wonder how many knew how-to set the special toggle in Firefox for DNS over socks or how many have no idea all the ways that even if you have over 9000 proxies it doesn't hide you when you have no idea what you are doing, which clearly true for these people.
So WHAT SAY YOU DICE? leak some IP logs, say it was part of an NSA request that got cc'ed to the wrong people.... Whatever covers you legally and we will do the rest...
They have to spy on everybody, because anybody could be, or become, a terrorist, either willingly or unwillingly.
The only people that can be trusted are obviously only a small group of people close to the President, and a handful of Congressmen and Senators.
Yes I think there are around 400 to 500 of them which collectively own and control our system. They can be trusted because of their mass wealth and the fact that any thing they want whether legal or not will be given to them. They have no reason to get involved with messy religious martyrdom products practiced by poor ignorant brown people. I mean after all they select few have no souls to begin with so why bother with anything other than money an power. If they gamble their money away the government will always cover the lost since they are to-big-to-fail and it was really the consumers fault somehow anyway,
Welcome to our brave new world, It only gets worse from here on out. Start stashing water and food some place safe for when the riots start. There is no way to know when but I'd say with-in the next 10 years the US will be coming apart at its seams... People are perfectly happy to watch TV and ignore everything until they are starving from lack of affordable food and massive inflation in each and every sector of our economy. When people start going hungry (I think congress just failed to pass the farm bill for the first time in 40 years). That's the food stamps program among other thing.. Yeah people get really pissed off really fast when they can't have their Mt Dew and Cheeto's. Doesn't mater if the SNAP program is right or wrong when you are being mugged at knife point so someone can by some Raymons,,, These poor people might be leaching of the rest of us but putting them in jail costs more and they aren't going to suffer like some here would love to see. No they will attack and it will be random and bloody. Think about that the next time you are talking with your friends about cutting mental health and food/medical assistance from the poor. You are being short sighted and you and your family with pay, one way or another...
Surely they'd be more privileged than 'common Joe' - it just makes a mockery out of the whole thing.
No you don't understand, 'they' want their warriors to have the lest amount of information possible at all times. Solders should know only what 'they' tell them. Believe only what 'they' what them to believe. It's not that hard of a concept to understand, the best solider is one whom thinks he is a hero and is doing good/righteous things at all times. Even when he is killing women and children for the false war on terror and very real war on global freedom.
Fuck you, you cunt piece of shit learn to use fucking goggle because I'm not your fucking slave. There was a US teen that went looking for his father and was killed by a US drone strike for one or how about you fucking google something about the hundred thousand dead brown women and children we murdered bringing freedom to IRAQ...
Go fucking die under your masters fucking boot. You probably think you are well off and that you're one of them but you're not and one day they are going to come fuck with you and your family and I hope they fucking rape you with a wooden broom....
What? That the patsy would go down hard? They always do
I am still wondering who is pulling the puppet strings here.. There is just too much of a 'coincidence' that this guy 'slipped through' the vetting process, just 'happened upon' super-secret presentations, managed to sneak them out of their office in a thumb drive (btw, aren't USB ports secured in secret environments) and it all wraps up with 'gilligan' managing to conduct an interview with a foreign correspondent and sliping overseas...
C'mon, I am all for believing in the ingenuity of a high-school drop out, but this is just beyond all belief.
IMO, this is all a setup to pile another made-up scandal on the Dems to give the (woefully inadequate) gop a chance in the 2014 elections, but I'm funny like that
Fuck you and your "High school drop out" quote as he was probably making more money than you do. So what does that say about you and how worthless you are?
...other than to be a d!ck / counter spy himself. and now he's harboring with the chinese, hmm?
but you left out one glaring option that would have allowed him to keep his (IMHO fictional/hired) girlfriend and sweet Booze/Allen job and...AND write a bestseller and be on TV news spouting his opinions...
anonymous leak
too late now...his best bet is to prove he was being defrauded and manipulated to do this by criminals/chinese/illuminati...otherwise he should anticipate Federal Prison
why do people think he's going to get waterboarded at a black site like Kalid Shake Mohammed or w/e? There really is no reason to assume the current admin will do the worst of what the *previous* admin did...especially when the current admin has allowed so much to become public and eliminated torture practices...
You are out of your fucking mind if you think things have got better. Secret courts where you can't hear the eveadence or what you are being charged with let allow face your acusure. Hell you're lucky if you get a trail at all as the the US kills it's very own citizens with no trial at all over seas in the wrong part of the world not to mention all the journalist we have maimed or murdered while the chopper pilots laugh... Yeah things are so much more transparent and we follow or own laws now... Not like was before.

Also DEF CON needs to have a TSA check points where normal clean cut people who don't know what cpu means gets asked to 'step over here' by security and are degraded as far as legally allowed. Then they need to be refunded their ticket or whatever and asked to leave private property. After their photo's are uploaded into the new "Known Federal Employee Database"...
Also Federal Wireless frequencies should randomly drop in and out and all cell calls should get routed and recorded for later lol review by DefF con Cell Sites.... Plus all internet wi-fi should have fake certs and install bit-coin mining software as we need a farm at Langley to pay for the defense of good hackers...
Fuck you! You fascist Nazi fuck! This is Slashdot. Learn to take the good with the bad. Being able to post AC is necessary regardless who abuses it.
Wait I have no problem free speach.. but screaming RANCID ASSHOLE, COCK, ETC, ETC over and and over is just stupid and what the GP was posted had nothing to do with anything and I think it would be funny if everyone knew who he is since apparently he is so eager to post the same cut/paste message in every article. I'm not asking for him to be prosecuted or anything like that. I just want to know the time and IP address so I can track his identity down and post his picture and all these messages on facebook or something like that...
Because people need to eat. Do I need to go further?
No, I think you need to come up with a real argument instead. Your statements are a good example of the irrational nonsense that keeps coming up. Why in the world would you think that the observation that people need food is remotely relevant? Food just isn't that expensive. Nor is shelter for that matter.
Here in the US it sure as hell is EXPENSIVE. you can't live and eat on minimum wage. I'm on disability. I get $710 from Social Security and 56 a month in food stamps. That is my total income. I have been legally deemed not to be able to work because of a medical condition. Before I had my own LLC and was living very nicely. I was not in debt, in fact my FICO was around 800...
OK so you do this experiment. Take $766 and live off it. The only thing I am thankful for is I have medical insurance because of the Disability. So how much do you make a month and how could you live off what I posted above?
Why do you believe that all homosexuals are pedophiles and in the closet? Is it because you're a pedophile and in the closet? That would make sense -- you can only imagine the world as you experience it. Maybe your were molested as a child. Well, that's wrong and nobody should have to experience it. But you can break the chain, come out of the closet, and have normal homosexual relations with other adult men.
But I like the closet, It makes me feel warm and safe and I was trolling the troll Mr Anonymous Coward..
The best choice I made was when I decided to be gay (and it is a choice. Hooray for pro choice!). I remember thinking: do I want to stick my penis into a girl's vagina or a boy's asshole?
It's really sad that people like the above AC just can't come out and admit that they are gay to their family. Everyone here stopped giving a shit about these messages years ago and it only annoys us when we've had a hard day and come home to find out that once again a closet homosexual and possible pedophile has no other outlet than posting these pointless fantasies. I really wish Dice would leak their IP logs on these people so those of us with the skill can just go ahead and out them and get it over with.
I'm sure they think they are safe behind 7-proxies but I wonder how many knew how-to set the special toggle in Firefox for DNS over socks or how many have no idea all the ways that even if you have over 9000 proxies it doesn't hide you when you have no idea what you are doing, which clearly true for these people.
So WHAT SAY YOU DICE? leak some IP logs, say it was part of an NSA request that got cc'ed to the wrong people.... Whatever covers you legally and we will do the rest...
They have to spy on everybody, because anybody could be, or become, a terrorist, either willingly or unwillingly.
The only people that can be trusted are obviously only a small group of people close to the President, and a handful of Congressmen and Senators.
Yes I think there are around 400 to 500 of them which collectively own and control our system. They can be trusted because of their mass wealth and the fact that any thing they want whether legal or not will be given to them. They have no reason to get involved with messy religious martyrdom products practiced by poor ignorant brown people. I mean after all they select few have no souls to begin with so why bother with anything other than money an power. If they gamble their money away the government will always cover the lost since they are to-big-to-fail and it was really the consumers fault somehow anyway,
Welcome to our brave new world, It only gets worse from here on out. Start stashing water and food some place safe for when the riots start. There is no way to know when but I'd say with-in the next 10 years the US will be coming apart at its seams... People are perfectly happy to watch TV and ignore everything until they are starving from lack of affordable food and massive inflation in each and every sector of our economy. When people start going hungry (I think congress just failed to pass the farm bill for the first time in 40 years). That's the food stamps program among other thing.. Yeah people get really pissed off really fast when they can't have their Mt Dew and Cheeto's. Doesn't mater if the SNAP program is right or wrong when you are being mugged at knife point so someone can by some Raymons,,, These poor people might be leaching of the rest of us but putting them in jail costs more and they aren't going to suffer like some here would love to see. No they will attack and it will be random and bloody. Think about that the next time you are talking with your friends about cutting mental health and food/medical assistance from the poor. You are being short sighted and you and your family with pay, one way or another...
Surely they'd be more privileged than 'common Joe' - it just makes a mockery out of the whole thing.
No you don't understand, 'they' want their warriors to have the lest amount of information possible at all times. Solders should know only what 'they' tell them. Believe only what 'they' what them to believe. It's not that hard of a concept to understand, the best solider is one whom thinks he is a hero and is doing good/righteous things at all times. Even when he is killing women and children for the false war on terror and very real war on global freedom.
Fuck you, you cunt piece of shit learn to use fucking goggle because I'm not your fucking slave. There was a US teen that went looking for his father and was killed by a US drone strike for one or how about you fucking google something about the hundred thousand dead brown women and children we murdered bringing freedom to IRAQ...
Go fucking die under your masters fucking boot. You probably think you are well off and that you're one of them but you're not and one day they are going to come fuck with you and your family and I hope they fucking rape you with a wooden broom....
What? That the patsy would go down hard? They always do
I am still wondering who is pulling the puppet strings here.. There is just too much of a 'coincidence' that this guy 'slipped through' the vetting process, just 'happened upon' super-secret presentations, managed to sneak them out of their office in a thumb drive (btw, aren't USB ports secured in secret environments) and it all wraps up with 'gilligan' managing to conduct an interview with a foreign correspondent and sliping overseas...
C'mon, I am all for believing in the ingenuity of a high-school drop out, but this is just beyond all belief.
IMO, this is all a setup to pile another made-up scandal on the Dems to give the (woefully inadequate) gop a chance in the 2014 elections, but I'm funny like that
Fuck you and your "High school drop out" quote as he was probably making more money than you do. So what does that say about you and how worthless you are?
you're right to take issue with this:
but you left out one glaring option that would have allowed him to keep his (IMHO fictional/hired) girlfriend and sweet Booze/Allen job and...AND write a bestseller and be on TV news spouting his opinions...
anonymous leak
too late now...his best bet is to prove he was being defrauded and manipulated to do this by criminals/chinese/illuminati...otherwise he should anticipate Federal Prison
why do people think he's going to get waterboarded at a black site like Kalid Shake Mohammed or w/e? There really is no reason to assume the current admin will do the worst of what the *previous* admin did...especially when the current admin has allowed so much to become public and eliminated torture practices...
You are out of your fucking mind if you think things have got better. Secret courts where you can't hear the eveadence or what you are being charged with let allow face your acusure. Hell you're lucky if you get a trail at all as the the US kills it's very own citizens with no trial at all over seas in the wrong part of the world not to mention all the journalist we have maimed or murdered while the chopper pilots laugh... Yeah things are so much more transparent and we follow or own laws now... Not like was before.
