I would not at all blame him... Just think of this this way. He has piid off one heck of a lot of East European bot net (read Russian Mafia) guys. And the crooked internet providers that they support. What are his options? Go to the Bulgarian Police and hope they are not crooked?...not a good idea. Try to deal with the mob?...very unlikely. One of two things he is either dead already or in hiding. It is that simple. The governments of Eastern Europe are not in a financial position to fight organized crime and one place that organized crime is really into high tech is Eastern Europe. Tin foil hats be damned!

Kirk: Because Hanny is a hottie who found something any geek worth their salt thinks is cool, and she can call it anything she likes. Be thankful she didn't call it Hanny's BonesIsAPooHead. Now if only she were green...and had 3 breasts!
I recall the quote "Philosophy of science is about as useful to scientists as ornitology is to birds" being attributed to feynman. And i find it all too fitting for any discussion that tries to mix science and philosophy.

We pros still de-lid and polish back circuits for reverse-engineering. These days, instead of an optical microscope, you need an SEM to do it. The principle is still the same.
Speaking of SEM: TI made a video of an IC running in a SEM.
It showed the current so to speak.
I can't remember if it was the SEM video or Making of a Microchip (MMC01).
That's silly, if you're going to go to that trouble, you may as well go back to 1967 and stop the films from being destroyed. Or better yet, take them out of the bin and bring them back to the 21st century.
Right now we are still trying to colorize Ted Turner.
When they started rerunning the old episodes in Australia a few years back I really enjoyed them. The acting wasn't real good, the fight scenes (fist fights etc) were so bad they were funny, and the strings holding up the dalek's spaceship were visible and it rocked side to side, but I still really enjoyed them.

Pig brains do make good tacos though.
Provided taco does not bitch slap you.

This is one case in which bureaucratic inefficiency is most certainly your friend.
In Soviet Russia, if you want a cop, then there he is.
count me in! Can we say class action? Oh yeah!
The centers of Class Action suits are: Cleveland, OH, Beaumont,TX, and Orlando, FL.
When he gets there he should look for the law firm of Uriah Ketchum and Isaac Cheatham, who have been defending gatored communities for years.
Most likely it would be Russian Online Federated Link (ROFL).

I still couldn't help wondering whether the warning was against the nudity or the pixelation...
Yes

"People frequently drop their iPhone in a mug of beer (HOW?!),"
You, sir, have a lot to learn about beer.
Its quantum beer. It jumps out of the glass to pour on the most expensive thing on the table.
At least its not virtual beer, which can cross routers to arrive almost anywhere.
Please explain to me why I should be in favor of the government funding particle physics research.
Why don't you step into the box with the cat for a quick demonstration.
If he fits in the box, then it was a big cat. There may be other difficulties.

Oxygen, or was it carbon dioxide?
There is no reason to create a new acronym/term every time you need to talk about something.

Probably no worse than the 3-hour long magic bullet/juicer/mixer [pro] BS we Canadians have to endure after 2am.

Alchemy is real, in 1941 mercury was transmuted into gold in a nuclear reactor. I believe lead to gold has been done with a linear accelerator.
The proton packs didn't work; we needed neutron packs.

They had not mastered String Theory at the time.
