From what I read, the shooter came into the theater from outside through an emergency exit door. I don't know how he got it open, unless perhaps someone had propped it open to sneak their friends into the theater, that happens at my local theater all the time...
The Washington Post said that he bought tickets, entered the theater, exited out of the emergency door; then 20 minutes into the film returned through that door which he had braced to reopen (propped open? tape? they didn't say how). Every single thing that I read says that there is no indication that he had accomplices.
I thought the same thing; like the drain plug for all of the oceans of the entire world!
[and then my hair stood up on end because I have scary dreams about stuff like that]
I am going to have the second that. After reading this post I installed the NoScript add-on yesterday even though I haven't actually had any problems. I have seen potentially toxic links in Google image searches (and in regular searches as well) but they are pretty easy to identify so I just didn't follow them from the search page. Anyway, 24 hours of NoScript was enough of that (thank you very much). I have to do internet searches for work and monkeying around with that thing would (literally) make the task take up to three times longer. With NoScript what you get is what someone upthread called "an ugly broken thing." I don't have the time or the patience to click through the many options that NoScript offers for each and every page. While it is interesting how much crazy script there is out there in the world attempting to control each and every incidence of it by hand is absurd.
Incidentally, I found the uninstall instructions on the NoScript help page http://noscript.net/faq#qa2_3 where they basically call you an idiot for uninstalling their obnoxious, time consuming and esthetically unappealing add-on to be a bit insulting; not to mention that the NoScript home page itself is studded with script and looks like something from 1991.

You are not the only one with this experience, not by a long shot.
Unless one is willing to be vigilant and monitor the pages that one contributes to over and over and over again armed with references and links and on demand prose eloquence, then it's just an exercise in frustration. Try venturing into a contested area like addiction medicine and it could become your life's work.
Not only that, I personally know two people who were not only summarily edited but contacted and accused of being socks even though they were contributors both to content and as monetary supporters. The environment there is insane. It's great for high school kids to look-up basic stuff but move on to the big ticket items and the politics behind the scenes (that frankly I don't even understand) distort the entries beyond usability or recognition.
Contribute to this mishegas? As you say, not until they clean up their act.
How about not being jerks and letting the authors collect their fractions of pennies for the use of their compositions to amuse yourself, impress your friends or whatever satisfaction is derived (presumed to be something, since it was worth it to you to pay to put it on your phone) from having the recognizable ringtone in the first place. How about that for being edgy and cool?

It is not necessary to know the backgrounds or the ethnicity, it would be nice to know the addresses though, in case one needed a victim when abroad.
Ummm, the address is right there in the article. Perhaps you need to augment your vision.
Interesting when one of their own headlines today is about a hack into someone's facebook account: http://gawker.com/5897485/white-supremacist-hacks-trayvon-martins-email-account-leaks-messages-online
Exactly, I have no problem with this.

if anyone actually used Delicious? I have never heard of anyone utilizing it, ever.
