They don't? Sure they do. How long have you worked for the Department of Justice?
Federal prosecutors have a great deal of leeway and discretion, and you're fucking kidding me if you think the DoJ idiots (who understand -20% of the technical issues) we're running full speed to score this touchdown, no questions asked about who they injured. Moral? Give the guy a break? You've GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING. Prosecutors like hurting people, legally.
As I point out above, this guy is unlikely to remain anonymous, and he is likely to face far worse consequences from the hacking community, than from the Police. All 100% deserved.

Jesus fucking christ. Never been interrogated, have you? US Police are not the Stazi. The above has just about zero accuracy; you're talking out of your ass.
>You have to remember the deals the police make are very much a "You help us and get results or all bets are off.
If you take that deal, you're a freaking tool. The correct response is "charge me and talk to my lawyer, or get the fuck off my property." Done. Then they can offer a non-renegable plea deal if they wish, with your counsel as witness, or again they can fuck off.
This guy was a tool, and deserves a knife in the gut for it. I suspect once his name gets out, he'll get his in one way or another-- turning on LulzSec and Anonymous was not the brightest of ideas.
>There is no excuse for a web browser process to hit the GB mark, none.
Seriously?
I have 1198 tabs open (just checked). FF 11 is running at just over 2GB. And that is very good-- Chrome would have died long, long ago with that many tabs, even if it were practical to manage that many tabs in Chrome, which it isn't.
At least twice a week-- more often twice a day!-- I nearly run into some doe-eyed pedestrian who would have been perfectly safe, except, at the last moment they choose to freeze their forward motion or suddenly jerk in their path, leaving them in the course of my path.
Here's my advice to pedestrians: nine times out of ten, ignore cyclists. You'll be a lot safer, and we'll be a lot safer.
As cyclist, I'm a high-speed object with a large degree of maneuverability-- if I'm within a few seconds of a pedestrian, I can be five feet to the left or right of them with a quarter-second or less of tilt.
If the darn pedestrian then spends 3/4 of a second frozen like a deer in headlights, and then another second moving towards my path because they're clueless, and given that my reaction time is at least.25-.50 seconds-- then they've turned a routine situation with plenty of time to adjust, into an emergency situation.
Equally, in the typical pedestrian-cyclist collision, I believe it is the cyclist which has more to loose. The cyclist is moving faster, often by a factor of 5 or more (especially if the pedestrian is near-stationary); the cyclist is often in an elevated position and likely to receive a torque multiplier to force from any fall; the cyclist may become entanged in the cycles equipment, causing a range of injuries from nasty sprains to breaks.
All of this, of course, can be moderated to some degree by both cyclist and pedestrian education programs; I don't know a bike in the Netherlands, for instance, that doesn't have a bell, because a bell is mandated safety equipment there. As well, in the Netherlands, people know that the sound of a tinkling bell means a bicycle is approaching.
Reactions and reaction-times are a matter of training, however, and such measures may not have immediate effects. In many US cities, for instance, if drivers aren't accustomed to cyclists, they may neglect to search blind spots for cycles or to make appropriate corrections. Education on both sides is necessary to acheive safe roads.
As for the "jerky pedestrian," who may or may not be you, it seems important to note that I pass hundreds of pedestrians per day who calmly go about their own business without incident. I can understand the reaction, but it's a reaction I see far more often while biking in Nashville, for instance, than in San Francisco or New York. And at least personally, I cannot remember one pedestrian accident, where the accident wasn't primarily due to the pedestrian's over-reaction.
For "bike lanes," remember they're optional, and merely reserved for bikes who choose to use them. In places like Nashville, they collect auto refuse and debris, and can be darn-near unusable-- a good way to puncture a tire. Many cycling manuals give the advise to take a place on the main roadway.
So, please, rather than being startled by that cyclist doing something odd, consider that they're likely a very aware individual, with a lot of control over the situation, who doesn't want to be in an accident just as much as you don't. In all likelyhood, they probably know what they're doing at least as much an automobile driver, and will do whatever they can to avoid an accident.
Don't mess it up by making a dramatic last-minute course change. Go about your way as you were, and we'll all be fine.
>>On a global scale, you may well discover that you are the 1%.
>You probably are. [globalrichlist.com]
That's methodological crap. You can't make comparisons using the myth of currency equivalence. Someone living on $50K in Sao Paolo, with access to cheaper housing, education, health care etc etc etc, may be 2-3 times as 'rich' as someone living in a closet in Manhattan and barely getting by.
Of the 25K or so executed-- no great number-- I beleive the vast majority were from the First and Second estates, with the peasantry largely absent. Not to mention, we're talking a very small portion of people: Paris was already a city of millions, and only 2,600 or so people were executed there.
Oh, that's a distinction of wealth level, I guess. There was the guy that hired cage dancers for major parties at his house-- importing them from the nearest major city, about a 2-hour drive, along with the cages and stage crew etc etc. He parked one of his dad's private jets at the nearest airport, and, well, you can take the paid services joke from there... he wasn't the only guy I knew with private jet privileges, but he was the only one who could have one parked nearby for his convenience.
>my rotten self, and all the rotten cyclists like me. We disobey traffic laws with wild abandon, we're notorious for it. >And bikes are vastly more environmental (and, better yet, non-road-space consuming) than Priuses. > I am shamelessly anti-authoritarian on a bike the way I am not in a car.
There's another reason for this, and it's just plain practicality. Auto "rules of the road" are just that-- written for automobiles. I'm a very very careful cyclist where safety is concerned, and will come to a halt when there's any ambiguity-- facing off against a 2-3 ton pile of metal and glass going twice my speed, isn't my idea of fun.
On the other hand, in any variety of situations, I either have sufficient visibility and maneuverability, or the road conditions and layout are such, that obeying automotive rules would be either grossly inefficient, or just plain dangerous.
The foregoing is not anti-authoritarian. I'd be glad to explain it to any judge, in detail, and in general would expect a reasonable judge to agree. (Note: in countries with a cycling majorty, such as Belgium and the Netherlands, the rules for cyclists are quite different and more rational than the US's usual "you're another vehicle and have to observe the same rules as a car.").
>working with groups of 100 to 200 Berkeley undergraduates or adults recruited online.
Ya gotta be kidding me.
There is, of course, the recent research that points out that US-American psychology is, largely, a profile of the US-American undergrad population (ie, the population that are easily available to find, to study).
That said, if you choose Berkeley undergrads, then you're going to get results that match them. Berkeley is a large anonymous state institution, where an undergrad has every incentive to cheat, and where only the third incident of plagarism has any chance of repercussions. (In pactice, GSIs and many professors are unlikely to report plagarism, no only because of the paperwork, but because it's likely to have negative repercussions for them).
Change this context to Stanford or the East Coast Ivies, etc, and you've got a very different system. Getting caught cheating or plagarizing-- once-- at a small college or many of the Ivies, is a death sentence-- immediate explusion, and if you do choose to come back in a year, you're going to be a paraih among your peers and under very close scrutiny.
My guess is this study, like so much social science, isn't speciifc and precise enough to say anything.
I'm betting that Prius drivers behave better than BMW drivers. Just guessing, though. Time to apply for a federal research grant to be sure. I'll be sure to fake the prior literature review.
Evidently you are more humour-impaired than a Syrian border guard with 240mm shell up his scrotum. That said, some of the PenFed cards do have "Pentagon" across the front, evidently not yours.
