I agree that identities should not be reported if it isn't a slam dunk case. Just ask Richard Jewell or the Ramsey family, who weren't ever charged or convicted of murder yet were drug through the mud by the press. This goes double for rape cases, where there is a huge double standard right now. Alleged rape victims have their identity protected, while anything goes for alleged perpetrators. Because those who are innocent - like the Duke lacrosse players - will be stigmatized for the rest of their lives.
Except that's not what your linked article says at all. Lessig is talking about the hysteria over Obama's reaction to the FISA bill.
Except you'rer arguing a distinction without a difference, since opposing immunity meant supporting those fighting it (like Dodd) and putting pressure on the rest (like Obama) to do the right thing.
Uh, no shit, Sherlock. My point was that Jack seemed to be changing more and more into Tyler, as the those scenes were not Jack-like but very Tyler-like. Sort of like how Bruce Banner had his personalities rearranged and was smart in Hulk form but turned back into a 98 lbs weakling if he got pissed off.
...is that yes, Jerry's new $1250 Vista PC does perform as well as Elaine's $2755 Mac, but it's the Mac she bought in 1998. And before you accuse me of hyperbole, I've seen new Vista machines replace Windows 98 boxes with 400 mhz PII's that are performance downgrades. It takes longer to boot the system and longer to load any programs or files.
Ah, the two party red herring. Look at other countries with a plethora of political parties in their government, like Israel or Italy - they're just as corrupt and dysfunctional as ours. Arguing that the solution to our problems is to have more political parties is just as much snake oil as term limits.
Its the campaign financing, stupid. Until you have all campaigns be publicly financed, you're inviting corruption into politics.
If you're an independent who knows Obama claims to be the right man to negotiate with dictators and tyrants, but is "afraid" to accept repeated invitations to those shows, how would that change your estimation of him?
Not this horseshit again. If Obama talks to North Korea, he'll do so by talking to their leaders and diplomats, not sit down for an interview on Korean Central Television, the state controlled network. And aside from the absurdity of your premise, note again that it's a standard that is applied to Democrats and only Democrats. You don't see people daring McCain to do a conference with MoveOn because he'll look weak otherwise.
Yes, tell us how liberals are elitists when the Republican candidate for president can't even remember how many houses he owns and thinks you have to make $5 million a year to be rich.
Oh, the horror of a candidate that lines up with a mere 75% of your party's views and is receptive to the other 25%. Better spoil the election and let a guy take office who's 100% opposed to just about everything you believe in, instead.
Naderites still thinking it was a good idea not to vote for Gore is like Miramax still thinking it was a good idea to pass up on Lord of the Rings after the franchise got Time Warner 11 Oscars and a few billion dollars. In other words, your select group is made up of some of the dumbest stumps to have ever existed in human history.
Is Dennis Kucinich on the same page as Obama? Does McCain have the same positions as Ron Paul? Our political system has a lot of problems, but being dominated by two parties is near the bottom of the list.
Yes, it would have been much more preferable if the U.S. had either slid into communism or fascism instead of maintaining capitalism while establishing a social safety net.
They are correct. I am a conservative so I am no great friend of Bush. Although it dose make me sad to see the outright hatred of the left wing toward Bush/Cheney.
Why, Dishevel, do conservatives hate the Constitution?
A 33 year old won the silver medal in the vault competition, so it's definitely possible to be successful despite not being prepubescent.
Which is obviously an exception, which is why the parent said "almost never" instead of "never". And it's a bit like claiming that the lack of salary caps in baseball isn't a problem because the Yankees haven't won the World Series in years...it's just been won by other big teams.
Restricting young kids because they have a physical advantage is lame though. Michael Phelps had an advantage due to his body proportions.
So would it be fair to match a 30 years old with a 4 year old in a competitive game of limbo? Phelp's advantages come from his genetics, not his age. And it's supposed to be women's gymnastics, not children's gymnastics.
hanging out (until being outed by YouTube) in a church that spouts some of the most unreasonable and illogical stuff imagineable
It's only unreasonable or illogical for 1) those who are grossly ignorant of history and 2) white trash. I'd ask you which one you are, but it's pretty obvious you're 3) all of the above.
I lost all respect for Lessig when he described the opposition to telecom immunity as "leftist hysteria". It's like if Richard Stallman suddenly called opposition to DRM the work of "Linux zealots".
But I've wondered if that scene, among others, is you are seeing the Tyler persona on Jack. Like the "Tyler's words coming out of my mouth" scene, or the beats-himself up in his boss's office scene.
Like when Ford and Firestone sat on the problem of tires blowing out on Explorers while people were being paralyzed or dying, and even after the lawsuits started coming in?
Apple gets a hell of a lot of flack courtesy of their fanatical following of fanboys and fanatical following of trolls. The former crows everytime Apple does anything. The latter throw their hands in the air and cry that the sky is falling whenever any issue is reported, no matter how small.
And while the latter are plentiful, the former are about as common as Bigfoot. No, seriously, try and find an actual Kool Aid drinking Mac user here. Just one.
Slashdot Mirror
Maybe he was concerned
Concern trolls generally are.
I don't know, it tends to be pretty big news when someone is found innocent of a crime such as murder.
So you have two days of a "not guilty" verdict on the news vs months of trial coverage. Still no contest.

Uh, yeah, he did. He got more votes than any other candidate. That's called winning the popular vote.

You obviously do not know what you are talking about.
No, what's obvious is that you are rationalizing a shit sandwich.

but let's try to minimize the severe damage the internet will suffer under either candidate
And what harm is Obama going to bring to the Internet, exactly?

No, you don't. Fixed that for you.

Cars have been recalled for less.
Less than .001%, eh? When.
That Youtube guy should be slapped for not editing the video. It blows up at 2:32.
