    :-) Most excellent! You are hilarious! You reaffirm everything ever said about you. Please continue. I love this shit! Gimme more!

    APK's on topic in his hosts posts for stopping threats/speeding you up online. That's no spam.

    Of course it's spam. That's why you are being filtered. And you are permitted to refer to yourself in the first person. What are you scared of? You have no need to hide from me.

    Well yeah, for some people it definitely is. Problem is, what I forgot to mention before, if you try to go the "legitimate" route as the good samaritan, you risk getting arrested if you don't report the bugs anonymously and you try to collect the bounty. Why take that kind of chance?

    Ah, good to see you too... It was a long time ago. It's no longer important enough for me to bother looking it up. Do it yourself if you're so inclined. Otherwise, feel free to start over and drone on about it all you want. I've always been fascinated by the persona. And I would never expect someone like you to take me seriously. So, roll on, my friend. Since your entire gag will probably bang into the lameness filter, you probably need to come up with some new material. I'm dyin' to hear it. Make it good. We all could use a little levity.

    Please note, you don't have to talk about yourself in the third person :-)

    I found another thread about it that the lameness filter kicks in with certain code words. It's not just shadow banning, it's a complete blockage. In that example it's obvious APK spam (Personally I find him funny when he gets on a roll. He went after me a couple of times, but simple mockery and ridicule in return usually keeps it short, otherwise just ignore him, it's not difficult. Whatever you do, don't take him seriously), but it still sets a bad precedent since, like the response to the link said, so many of the front page articles are just click bait from their "news" aggregator also, and it doesn't help the journal section one bit, where there is about about a 400 to 1 spam ratio, which is too bad, I like using journals. I hope we don't lose them. Friending non-spammers filters out the crap, so it's not really an issue. But I still suspect the lameness filter is being used on "unpopular" subject matter also. For instance, if you say the word "trol"* more than three or four times in a single post, it will be blocked. The rest of the triggers are about as secret as the No Fly List. I hope some day that somebody exposes all of them. I find censorship much more offensive than any spammer or trol*.

    *Misspelling the word because I just encountered the filter! How do ya like that?

    I laugh because it would take such a massive effort that it would actually be easier and more reliable to just use normal bribery to get what you wanted. Something like the Clinton Foundation is the way to do it, that's a marvel of efficiency in terms of hooking up money with political outcomes.

    :-) (not too partisan, are we?) Or it can be as small as a $25,000 to a certain attorney general..

    Still gotta ask, how are you going to verify black box voting machines that provide no "receipts"? It least with paper you can do your job in a manner that everybody can plainly see for themselves. Why all the resistance? Electronic voting is not ready for prime time. It is unnecessary gimmickry, and it is completely untrustworthy. Is the simplicity really that difficult to understand? Or is there an actual concerted effort to facilitate fraud? Because with all the hand waving about "conspiracy theories" it sure looks that way.

    Blaming Zika for all these recent (all within the last 1 or 2 years) health effects is based on shaky science. And to tell the truth, it sounds more like a cover up to protect some chemical company's fuck up in Brazil (a slow acting Bhopal disaster), where it all began. But for some reason that's all "conspiracy theory" and "tin foil hat" paranoia, while everything the government says is taken at face value. You'd think that with all the lying over the last fifteen years about "war on terrorism" etc, people would be a tiny bit more critical (one look at the choices on the ballot says, obviously not).

    This little disaster is being completely whitewashed. And this "200 yard radius" thing is a complete myth. This stuff blows with the wind a lot farther than that, unless the planes are flying about 10 feet off the ground.

    something worse than stuxnet...Speak of which, I wonder what Obama's comments on that would be, given that he likely authorized its deployment.

    Think of this as something like Eisenhower's military industrial complex speech, that was made after he helped create it.

    What the government probably fears the most is that, unlike with nuclear and other heavy equipment, it doesn't take a government sized budget to create the weapons. A kid can put one into a clock and deploy it almost anywhere. Either way, the race is already on. This we have to accept. It's up to us to defend ourselves as best as we can, even if it means going on the offensive. And by the way, we have to apply the 2nd Amendment to our right to possess them. We can finally enforce a certain balance of power with the state. We might find a way to disable all their "smart" weapons.

    I only meant to point out the difference between registering a web site and registering a trademark, which apparently the copyright troll did not do back in May. I don't know how much prior art applies in trademarks, but according to the summary, "Bahnhof was the first to apply for the Spridningskollen trademark rights at the Swedish Patent and Registration Office,". Before I posted my first comment, I was looking for a trademark registry site, but the ones I found came up with nothing. So, thank you for your assistance :-)

    Now, since the ISP does own the trademark, they do get to decide who can use it, right?

    Once the loans started to actually go through, they realized that the cost exceeds benefit.

    The cost being that they could be implicated in Wells Fargo's fraudulent practices and be made into the fall guy. Where Wells Fargo gets a small fine, Amazon could be wiped out, and rather than being forced to blow the whistle on what they discovered, they decided to just back away. But you are right, they were probably temporarily dazzled by the marketing opportunities. Maybe Amazon should open a savings and loan of their own. Dealing with these banks is very risky business. No matter what they do, the client always takes the hit.
