uh, well that's easy, the aliens are the good guys, the predators are trophy hunters.
Think about it for a minute: the Queen is chained up, the facility is built for one single purpose: to breed xenomorphs to be used in coming-of-age rituals, and the weapons that are stored there next to the trophy walls are designed for a specific quarry: big ugly bugs with acid blood.
NK GDP: (2011) 12.4Bn USD. That's *less* than the annual CAFCASS budget. That's right, a non-departmental Government agency in England has a larger budget than the total output of an entire fucking country.
well, we know that they have the ability to detonate large explosives under mountains (whether or not it was nuclear... I'll leave to the imagination), they don't need ICBMs or even IRBMs to deliver a nuke (if that's what it was), since any military action would be over land, they could deliver one with a box van. Lots less conspicuous and lots harder to intercept than a cruise missile.
"We know Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11" (how?? They can't even explain how a PASSPORT survived a plane crash and subsequent inferno that burned through a building with enough intensity to *melt construction steel* and vapourise a black box flight recorder, without a scratch, and end up three blocks away in a plastic bag) "...so we'll invade them anyway using a two pronged pretext: that they did, and that they have WMDs." (we know they *did* have WMDs, Rumsfeld got caught shredding the shipping manifests. We also know they didn't have any more viable chemical weapons by the 1991 invasion because the desert conditions denatured the payloads and rendered the warheads inert)
Except that argument wouldn't hold up in any court of Law (specific finding not to hand, it is an oft-used EWHC precedent holding that because someone lied about something else doesn't mean they lied about the matter at hand)
Because if truth be told, and politicians were made to wear their sponsors logos on their sleeves, there'd be no room left for their bought service medals.
You read it here, even though it's old news: the Government - any Government - is of the people and by the people, all right, but for the people? Only if you can afford them.

Tell ya what, stick them up your arse and come back to me with credible evidence instead of the aforementioned bullshit.
corporations are "persons" in Law. Otherwise a corporate "person"ality could not be sued, there would be no accountability in case of wrongful death or neglectful injury, and there would be no way a corporation with no personality can legally bind another person (individual or body corporate) in a contract or hold him to any obligations therein.
well, yes, because the directory servers have a realtime index of active exit nodes. They hold no actual content, but what they do hold is really not very much in the way of payload (would probably fill a floppy disk); the killer is in the number of concurrent interrogations and the prerequisite bandwidth which would put it out of reach of an individual. All you'd need to do to bring the network to its knees is locate each directory server by IP, find a DOS vulnerability and exploit it. Same for any network with any sort of active directory service.
(knowing this because I built a distributed database that was vulnerable to precisely one thing: the loss (even momentarily) of the directory server. Killed it dead, and rebuilding/resynching it was a fucking nightmare. Having a failover for that one service would've saved a LOT of headaches but I'd already killed my budget).
no, but they did use just 35 lines of code to compromise it in 2012, during the Operation Torpedo dragnet in which they managed to identify arrest and charge 25 US citizens on their IP addresses* and an undisclosed number of foreigners overseas on international arrest warrants (and slightly less legal means) on child sexual exploitation.
*I don't have the link handy, but I do seem to remember a bunch of John Doe claims by the **AA (or maybe it was the BPI) being thrown out because the respondents were identified by their IPv4 addresses.
you don't know that. I don't know for certain that it has. Only they know for sure, and they're not about to tell. When they claim to have information that could only be gained by compromising the network or through seizure of the hardware, then we'll know.
Lesson for today: if you don't want information to end up in the hands of those who you don't want having it, airgap it. DO NOT expose it to a network. Whatever you post on a public network, on whatever forum using whatever protocol or encryption or other obfuscation, becomes as far as you should be concerned, information that is now forever and irreversibly in the public domain for any and all to use for whatever nefarious reason.
while using the World Wide Web, are you consciously aware of the thirteen root DNS nameservers?
No? So, why worry about the nine Tor servers which do pretty much the same thing - directing traffic so you get your fix of whatever?
The reason is, because these things are transparent to the client - you don't know they're there, all you know is that some endpoint protocol is making shit work, but to do that requires direction, which it gets from one of several servers which all agree on the basic structure of the (extremely fluid) network. Without those services, the network is a: chaotic and b: lost.
cramming is the practice of adding small, often unnoticeable, unauthorised charges to a customer's bill. Such charges may be disguised as excess data charges, roaming connects, SMS picture messaging (which some smartphones use to upload pictures to Facebook rather than use data allowance and a web interface), freemium games...
Yes, it's a *form* of fraud, but not necessarily wire fraud which is a very specific type of fraud. Title 18 of the US Code, at section 1343 provides that:
"Whoever, having devised or intending to devise any scheme or artifice to defraud, or for obtaining money or property by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises, transmits or causes to be transmitted by means of wire, radio, or television communication in interstate or foreign commerce, any writings, signs, signals, pictures, or sounds for the purpose of executing such scheme or artifice..."
Cramming can be seen as a wire fraud if it is wholly and entirely committed over wire (ie freemium gaming which doesn't offer a clear warning that proceeding past level 5 will incur charges to your data bill, etc. - yes, acts of omission can also be fraudulent).
this is why they call it a settlement, not a declaration of liability. By accepting the settlement you're agreeing to take no further action on the matter. They got you by the bollocks, and by accepting the twenty Dollar rebate you're accepting that, too.
one would assume that had one taken the trouble to sandbox an operating environment to mitigate risk of data corruption by malware, one would also have made sure that no folder shares were available to that sandbox. Your argument is moot.

signal propagation speed in copper wire is 0.70c, same as it has been since Edison had his "A-Ha!" moment.
I think GP was talking about physical commuting, not telepresence.
