I knew it when it was just the humble Godwin's Rule and not much more than an observation. Honestly, when some of these Laws get famous they get all self-important and full of themselves.
The thing to remember about the LexisNexis breach is not that someone had access to personal information about 300,000 people. Hell, LexisNexis customers do that all the time and to a lot more than that. (That's why it's all in the database, duh!) No, the important thing is that someone accessed that data, and didn't pay for it!
These fiends must be immediately caught and billed!
I shudder to think on what you mean by a "bounce" feature. Most likely sending a "bounce" reply to the forged sender address? That's part of the problem, not the solution.
There was a war and they lost and everyone that the Doctor runs into these days seems to know about it. (The plastic pal, the tree lady, the ghastly ghosts. Three out three so far.) Eventually he's probably going to explain that the only way he could save Gallifry was at the cost of everyone else.. and then The Plot will force him to save them anyway somehow. Or something.
I don't think that a remake of Lawrence of Arabia with robots would work as well. Like the candle-snuffing scene:
Potter: Oh, it damn well hurts. Lawrence: Certainly it hurts. Potter: Well, what's the trick, then? Lawrence: The trick, William Potter, is that I'm a robot. Hahaha, stupid human!
And I'm not sure about that captured by the turks bit either.
or perhaps having another Time Lord volunteer regenerations
What other time lords? Apparently they're now all dead or something. (Or at least that's what the Doctor says, or he's using Jedi-Think and just means it "in a manner of speaking".) Of course, they could have just futzed with his memory again.
Make it somewhat longer and let gravity pull the other end a bit towards the plane of the equator to balance. Mind you, with Regina at Lat 50.43N, that's already a less than 40 degree angle into the sky. (Not so much an elevator as a slide! 100k+ kilometers long, razor-sharp edges, covered in iodine...)
Of course, with the Earth end point closer to the axis of rotation, that'll cut down on how quickly energy can be transfered from the Earth to balance payloads moving up/down.
And nobody important lives around the equator anyway...
If they put up more than one cable, a slight offset for each one would be good. It would be really irritating for one to break and then take out the others like dominos.
If their liftoff is on April 12, 2018, why have they only paid for the domain until 2006?;)

Careful about that! There's a basement company that'd been posting to tor.jobs for years. (They changed their name every few months but not their post or their IP address.) Apparently they'd bring people in for short interview, then get them to work on a "programming problem" for the rest of the day, and nothing heard after that.
It's really hard to imagine a company using such a lame method of getting free labour, but that seemed to be what was happening.
Slashdot Mirror
Hey!
I want to see the tape from when he's finally tossed out of a mall or airport by a security guard with a headcam.
Of course there's always the old D&D rule: If it has hit points, you can kill it.
Damn!
You're forgetting about the large Other part of the population. Apparently they all use IE.

It's the "thin edge of the wedge" argument. $75,000 here, $75,000 there .. pretty soon it adds up! :)
Yeah, the zoom-in from the orbital mind-control lasers ought to be pretty cool.
Dear clients; Your identity was probably stolen because they didn't pay us like all our other customers who bought your identity.

Or populate it with an army of Voice-Controlled Robosapien. Let's do the Time Warp again...
Dunno. When did you start from?

Like DEC, HP, Data General?
Don't forget the kryptonite so that Superman doesn't fly into it by accident.
Possibly. It would have been one of things I'd switch off right away, but I don't remember doing so.
I have no idea of what they're really up to. (I probably missed some of their posts. They did change their text slowly over time.)
