Putting responsible in quotes, complaining that other companies aren't doing the same thing, and complaining that they're only doing it Africa.
Next submission "Cure for AIDS discovered" - "Well, its not like they cured cancer, and I'm sure the drugs will cost a lot."
Go die in a fire, you're holding the rest of us back.
Except this isn't how business works at all. Went more like this:
CEO: "To fulfill our fiduciary duty to our stockholders, we need to increase our profitability in all sectors including advertising ventures"
VP: "We can make more money by selling more user information to advertisers"
CEO: "Don't bore me with the details. Make it so."
Who says that all porn stars are coerced? Who says that even MOST porn stars are coerced?
A female friend I have has done a number of porn videos. She makes really good money and she absolutely loves her work, and her agent makes sure she's never in an uncomfortable position (har har) and she always has the right to walk away from any shoot, which she has done. She has no misconceptions about what she is doing and is not ashamed by it whatsoever. If you asked me to name my strongest willed friend, she'd probably be it. Nobody is going to coerce her in to doing anything.
Porn can be legitimate work. In fact, it usually is.
This is completely different than filtering malware sites and the like. You would do well to read up on the problem in Turkey before posting.
The Turkish government has lately been censoring the crap out of any journalist who speaks poorly of it. This blanket censorship has widely been seen as the next step of censoring the masses.

Your answer lies in the name of the event: "AIA 171 (2011-06-07 05:30:00 - 2011-06-07 08:29:48 UTC)"
According to that, we're looking at about 3 hours of footage. Given that the explosion doesn't happen until about a third of the way through, you can guestimate that the whole thing took about 2 hours to happen and settle back down.
This crap happens ALL THE TIME. Anonymous "turned" on itself years ago. Infighting keeps us strong, routes out the cancer, and confuses the hell out of outside enemies and newbs like you.
This happens literally all the time. Its not even remotely news. Some part of "Anonymous" is always attacking some other part. Someone gets their feelings hurt and takes down a website or two. They get their name dropped and they fall off the radar.
It isn't "civil war"; it's actually just the way Anonymous works.
Ok, if you think using Groupon is unprofitable, don't use it! Also, I'd like to point out that the author of the blog is in the same industry in the same area, so to me this seems like someone seeing the success of one of his competitors and trying to dissuade other competitors from achieving success in the same way by offering "friendly advice."
He specifically followed that up with ", but they're protected because no one really takes them seriously and they don't actually do anything but posture."
Are you an idiot or an over sensitive tea partyer with a persecution complex?
The Android in question, and indeed, all androids built with this directive would do everything in their power to prevent the corporation from liquidation. Failing at that, they would self destruct from the logical error that results.
Incorrect, as the zeroth law is to be obeyed before the first, second, and third. Thus the first law of phone security becomes "The device may not harm the user, or, by inaction, cause the user to come to harm as long as it does not violate the zeroth law" and so on for the rest.
Read more Asimov.
Of course, it won't be until much later that the zeroth law of phone security is discovered. That being:
"The device may not harm the corporation, or, by inaction, allow the corporation to come to harm."
Generally speaking, no. The military of Egypt has always been a semi-autonomous force in the country mainly concerned with protecting the country itself and not getting caught up in politics. Military control in the interim is a much better alternative than Suleiman (the VP) or anyone from the DNP (all of which were essentially placed there by Mubarak).
Tired of this rhetoric. The Muslim Brotherhood is not as influential player in the region as fox news would have you believe. Nor are they a terrorist group or extremist group bent on anything other then the common goals of the revolutionaries.
This just in, Islam is not the new Communism.
According to my Egyptian friends and from common knowledge of the region, the people in general are not against a military run country in the interim between dictatorship and democracy. It assures stability while also assuring that things are changing. The culture of Egypt is very intertwined with the military, almost every family has at least one person actively serving, so when they chant "The military and the people are one" they aren't being selective as to exactly who in the military they're talking about. The military up to this point was already seen and acted as an unbiased arbitrator not influenced by politics. As has been stated, they are there to protect Egypt and the people of Egypt and will not spill Egyptian blood. They're probably the very best group to hold the country together in the potentially long process of redrafting a constitution and instituting a democratic system.

Yes
Bitcoins could then have the credibility they deserve! [Citation needed]

Paranoia much? This crap happens all the time in anon, always has, always will. Just butthurt script kiddies, not government involvement.

This. Wish I had modpoints
You have no idea how big anon is. One rogue hacker and a couple of stolen domains is par for the course.

!troll. Who am I trolling? Slashdot's editors? All I'm saying is that this could've used a couple more goings over for grammar.
Does anybody proofread these summaries? This is one of the worst I've seen lately.

Really, a submission every time anyone posts anything about violent video games and their alleged influence on kids? Mod submission redundant.
Mod parent up. The Muslim Brotherhood is being way overhyped by those who want to turn Islam into the next Communism.
You're a fear mongering idiot.
