"You can purchase an umbrella or excess liability policy which provides broader coverage, including claims against you for libel and slander, as well as higher liability limits. Generally, umbrella policies cost between $200 to $350 for $1 million of additional liability protection. "
Often times this coverage may already be included in the insurance policy. For those of you in a position to purchase these policies, I don't see a reason not to negotiate the libel protection. It sure would have helped these guys.
The Cyclone IRCd does pretty much what you are asking about. Basically it includes a user mode denoted as z which provides for hostname cloaking.
for example, if you had the hostname
blorp.example.com by doing a/umode +z your hostname will show up as cloaked.example.com.
basically the game is sorta like an electronic boared game <emad> it is a real neat idea <emad> you go through various boards <emad> and after each person has played their turn <emad> you play a minigame <emad> (there is a bunch of other stuff but I will ignore that) <emad> there are dozens of different minigames <emad> 2-3 of the games are I guess powergames <emad> like say tug of war <emad> you have to rotate the joystick as fast as possible <emad> in order beat the other 3 guys <emad> what ends up happening is <emad> you go so fast <emad> you burn you f-ing hand off
Yeah I noticed this last time i was looking up my zip+4. The way I figure is, its okay to sell public information as long as you don't claim ownership and control of that information. Basically, you to have the privilge (along with everyone else) of selling that information.
If this is true, would it be possible for someone to buy the zip codes and then post them to a web site? Its public info right?
Could someone clarify what this means with regard to who is responsible for defamatory and/or libel. Does this mean that Yahoo is willing to hold itself responsible for comments and web pages that may cause legal trouble? For example If someone use geocities to con people into giving them credit card numbers who is responsible?
It seems that the link to slashnet off the main slashdot page is really outdated. SlashNET has its own web site http://www.slashnet.org/ but the slashdot link points to http://slashdot.org/slashnet
If you look at the certification section it is "mindcraft" admits that MS paid them to do this benchmark. Frankly, I can't see how that could possibly make an objective benchmark.
If you look at the other whitepapers that this company has done it is very evident that they are highly biased towards NT. Just look at the SMP Ultra Sparc machine getting beat 4x over by some NT PC.

A major point that Rob touched upon was the participation of lurkers. Lurkers make up a large majority of the readers of/. With the current method of selecting only those who have had positive scores does succeed in getting a more qualified number of moderators, this leaves lurkers who often time are just as compentent and interested in the quality of comments. Some people might argue "If you care about the signal to noise ratio why don't you post?"
Thats just the thing most lurkers don't post because either they feel that any post they make will either be rehash of a previous comment or just plain useless. Everyone hates to read a comment and then half a page down see another comment with the same sentiment as the one above.

From what I understand, a number of homeowner's insurance policies provide coverage for slander and libel lawsuits.
