    ...because they were rescued only after a last-ditch effort to call for help by rigging a ham radio to send an e-mail to their home office?

    One should keep in mind that the NDAA defined "battlefield" to mean domestic as well as foreign soil...

    That's nothing compared to solar power! Have you even seen how much radiation the Sun emits?

  9. RTFA on Judge Demands Email and Facebook Passwords From Women In Sexual Harassment Case · · Score: 4, Informative

    The plaintiff was allegedly using facebook to make statements about the case and other events relevant to the case.

  11. Neutered Clients on Twitter Restricts Client Developers · · Score: 1

    Well, at least this explains why the Twitter-released versions of Tweetdeck are utter garbage compared to the old versions released by Tweetdeck Inc. before they were gobbled up by Twitter..

  12. Re:You know what is also dangerous for children? on Feds Ban 'Buckyballs' Magnets · · Score: 1

    Why is it so hard for Google to remember?

  16. I agree, and the case for the executive branch regulating communications has been settled ages ago...besides, it's not like there's a lack of more significant constitutional breaches from this and past administrations to worry about already.

  20. Re:With only 140 characters... on Twitter Clampdown Could Impede Anonymous Tweets · · Score: 1

    I think you've missed the point somewhat.. the character limit has its benefits (enforces brevity), but that's not what I'd consider the strength of Twitter these days--since the addition of the streaming API, Twitter has become an invaluable resource for gathering information in real time.

  22. Gotta Justify that Budget Somehow on NY Times: 'FBI Foils Its Own Terrorist Plots' · · Score: 1

    Apparently sophisticated international terrorism rings aren't as big of a threat as we've been led to believe, since the FBI seems to be more busy giving themselves congratulatory press conferences every few months for capturing the newest group of illiterate morons who've been convinced to plant fake bombs.
