Know people depressed and upset because the Rapture did not happen? Give them a big hug and say, "what the heck, it's OK, it's not the end of the world."
You'd have to be a parent to understand how damaging -- for an entire lifetime -- stuff like this punk's activities can be to young teens. We've all blocked out the nasty stuff from our junior high and high school days... and there must have been some in everyone's experience. But this is beyond a prank. It's beyond "in poor taste." It's an example of the damage the internet can do in the hands of someone who's incredibly stupid, irresponsible and immature.
Doing a combo. Dumped Dish Network; bought a Tivo and a digital antenna ($35). Still have Netflix delivered (two at a time) along with streaming because the streaming options are not very satisfying... as a NY Times reporter put it, "most of their library is from the era of the Carter presidency." Not crazy about the slowness of load on streaming (even bought a new N-router and Tivo N-wireless adapter). Lots of glitches, plus NO SUBTITLES... c'mon Netflix. Oh, and that "You can stream from Amazon, too!" claim... not for free you can't. Most movies are in the $4.99 range.
Not surprised at the ineptitude and flagrant plagiarizing.
"New York" is not New York, it's really Manhattan. That's where the brains and big guns are.

Murdoch owns the WSJ, the "source" of this article. Don't you think it might be biased?

Wasn't it just this week that we had the lovely account of someone getting the SWAT treatment just for leaving their router free and open?
EXACTLY!!! Leave wireless routers open ... ha!
