This is true, but at the time he bought MySpace, it was worth a lot more than Facebook was. Which is why he bought it. He thought he was going to rule with MySpace and Facebook would remain smaller forever.
Do you really believe that Facebook has 600 million users? Or is it more like 600 million unique login names?
Because I personally know several people with several dozen accounts that they use to game the games that require you to have scads of social acquaintances willing to play the games along with you.
I'd put FB's real usership at 50-150 million. The rest are fake.
Your standards for torture and harassment are higher than mine. I consider your support for these criminals to be torturing and harassing me. Please turn yourself in to your local authorities.
1. they're certainly ending lives 2. external events are what you plan for when you have something that could melt down and kill people; because if you have any internal events still waivered that could do that, you should be in jail before they happen 3. the reactors got broken, not shut down; scramming the core and unplugging the grid isn't a reactor shutdown 4. you either have radiaton wafting over the population, or you don't. there's no "more or less" about it. 5. after a week, they got a cooling pump working. one out of six. after a week. given the danger to the whole of japan, and much of asia, and some of the rest of the world, their reaction has been rather abysmal.
in particular, if i'd been there, being only a few hours by boat from tokyo harbor, which is lousy with spare shipping, i'd have had repurposed tankers full of fresh water with fire trucks on their decks and enough pumping capacity to fill the entire reactor building in five minutes on-site within a day. these clowns don't seem even to have asked for that sort of thing. they tried a generator that didn't work, then spent a week requisitioning new generators from the manufacturer and waiting for new lines to be run from the grid. meanwhile, buildings were fucking exploding in a highly predictable manner.
the amount of FAIL they produced following the realization they had little chance of nominal operations is enormous. of course they'll be lionized for being there, but being there and doing something useful are two different things.
Now they don't have tubes, they last forever, and they pile up in the corner because the signal they receive is no longer being broadcast on this planet.
I don't recall ever being told by Twitter that it offers to keep any messages indefinitely.
Twitter used to be an SMS went out and went to other people's phones and that's it. And people were once "horrified" to find out that the phone company was keeping logs of SMS messages.
Here's a simple rule of thumb: if you don't want people searching for evidence of your crimes, DON'T DO THE CRIMES.
And it's a moot argument. The warrant specifies what they're seeking to prove. If they find evidence of other crimes in the process, they can't use it to charge anyone with those crimes.
Just slap a 'terrorist' or 'national security' label on it and you'll get any data you want.
Will I?
No. I won't.
You know why?
Because you're wrong. You still need some evidence to back up your suspicion that terrorism or violations of national security are involved. At least, when Republicans aren't running the show.
Sure. And you ask anyone in jail they say they were framed.
There are laws against giving out secrets, and Manning and Assange are clearly implicated in doing just that. That's enough for a warrant to search their private stuff for evidence.
Let a trial sort out whether they actually did it, and an appeal sort out whether it was actually illegal.
The WSJ and other former print mavens have been using the above-the-fold-is-free model for a long time. I have never felt the need to issue coin to them to see what they've got next to the Gold Coin ads inside.
Uh, yeah. For about 8 minutes. Then the hubbub is gone and they're not getting any subscription revenue and part of their readership isn't showing up because it can't get the hack to work to get them through the paywall so their ad revenue projections come in way low.
NYT paywall is #fail of the year in the narrow category of online journalistic monetization. But nothing like Japanese reactor shutdown procedures, which are likely to hold the overall title to the end of the century.
Tweets are public. Anyone can call them up with a twitter search (as far as that works). So they aren't the issue.
The issue would be the DMs. Those are more like phone calls. But, unlike phone calls, they're archived on Twitter's servers.
So this is like a wiretap that can retrieve past phone calls. Which is a really cool idea.
Frankly Twitter, the EFF, and the ACLU have little chance on that count. A warrant can be issued to bug anyone's communications or retrieve their stored data. I'm not sure why they think they can change that.
Evolution is geared towards traits that enhance the probability of procreation. Autism, not so much. Unless you're proposing to make Autistic children the "Queens" of our hive, and relegate everyone else to supporting them and their broods...

Naive enough to know that if the RIAA gained its evidence illegally, I can fuck them in the ass and take all their candy in court.

Probable cause is more than clear, here.
Nope.
If you want to hear it, you know how to find it.

I just looked at the Pulitzer code, and the NYT is the default case. Someone should open a change request.
My phone's SMS client is just ignoring that.
Damn skippy.
You should be using vi (1), with cscope (1).

You'd still need 1.7X as much time. And would be highly unlikely to get there.
IQ measures don't really indicate where the barriers are for most people.
Oh? So what happens when m is negative?
So far he's figured out that the Big Bang couldn't produce a lot of carbon.
And I'm like, "duhhh".
He just hasn't made the inductive leap to figure out where the carbon came from.
Which means he's good with the equations, not so much with the imagination.
But he likes the song about the Kitty.

Not to dis Feynman, but, radios were a few orders of magnitude simpler, then.
Nah, we're using the proceeds of that to cure all disease, end all war, and meld this universe with one in which magic works.
