It also cuts down Righthaven's ROI. Right now they get all of the winnings (or settlements). They would only get 1/3 as the representative of a newspaper.
I can almost answer my own question. I've run into too many people who don't WANT to know anything about their computers. Sort of like that old Barbie "Girls aren't good at math" thing, except it's "I'm not a computer person so I'm not GOOD at computers" and they're doing it to themselves. My gut does tell me that this is worse with older people, but not 100%.
I don't think he means people would watch you in the bathroom, but huge aspects of your life would be trackable. Look at how many actual or wannabe celebrities there are, putting huge chunks of their life on TV or auditioning to do so.
Mostly he did not expose corruption. He provided a wholesale dump of classified government data to someone who was going to publish it on the internet. And if you think this was good, look at what Mugabe has done with this information in Zimbabwe.
Since the US is not oppressive, your comment (or attempt at humor) makes no sense.
Note that just because a country has some laws, or limits, doesn't make it oppressive. In America you don't have to worry about how to get around government filters to express your opinion, in case you hadn't noticed.
Nice post. One thing that might be good about setting up your own VPN gateway - if I was an oppressive regime, I would block access to any of the known proxy servers/anonymizers etc.
"What we really need are personality engineers to help them blow off steam"
Is that like hookers? Maybe they need to finish up work on that holodeck thing.
Actually, I'm not all that happy with them making our salad shooters. And it has nothing to do with racism, it has to do what is best for my country, and doesn't help a totalitarian state.
Yeah, but my data point weighs more;)
I used to have a local cable company, then we switch to Starpower. Years later, Comcast bought out the local cable provider. Another year or 2 after that, they tried to bill me for the cable converter box they said I never returned. This is probably 4 years after I switched. They also did something similar to friends and family.
When we moved into my current house, we got DirecTV. Comcast wanted to hook us up for service, we told them no. Right after we closed & moved in, a Comcast tech showed up to hook up our cable, regardless of the fact we had told them no.
I could keep going....
Also fortunately I'm in an area where Verizon has a FIOS franchise. I'm hoping to have service within a year, but who knows.

I think it was set up by a lawyer who had a "brilliant" idea about how to make some money.

America, fuck yeah!!!
Can you even measure that?
... to be able to handle loads if the primary fails?
"dilettante who's self-satisfaction" whose ... right?
Get away from that Navy ship... Gilligan!!!!
About 10% of the people treated will turn into Reavers.

You could convert the notes from that song into jump coordinates and find Earth!!
Now Sony is going to want the IP of everyone who viewed the comments here.
In the movies, this is the part where the aliens are watching this story on the TV news from behind the moon, preparing their invasion plans.

Yeah, if I knew about a job like that, the first thing I would do is email it to you. Just keep hitting refresh on your email ;-)
Is that haunted fish from South Park that was Stan's(?) and kept killing people. That fish would have survived all the hot sauce!

Here's your burkha.
No, no, no.... there's a bit of dirt on the cover...

Has been LOLing at this site almost every night for the past few months, so yeah, I already knew about this one!
9mm is definitely too wimpy. Probably .45 for a handgun. I wonder if .223 would put one down?
