Correct me if I'm wrong here, but the the statement by the Librarian of Congress is merely an opinion of the interpretation of the DMCA, and as such, is meant only to be used by judges as precedent in deciding cases and does not in itself establish any legal statute.
In the first big leak, the names of actual informants was leaked and it was reported one later died and a few disappeared. However, the actual impact on human lives because of this seems inconsequential or non-existent since there has been nothing actually substantiated as a direct result in the media.
It seems to me that the only real damage is to the government's ego by exposing it's lack of security and it's dirty laundry. On the whole, Wikileaks is doing the public a service by making the government take a hard look at it's security protocol. As for the information leaked, what's been the real impact in regards to national security concerns? So far, I don't see how the leaks have jeopardized our military efforts or global standings.
For as much as they rile up their constituency about how America has lost all it's jobs, the economy being in the tank and how China is taking over, they do their best to constantly oppose new job creation and assist large corporations in stifling competition and innovation. Opposing Net Neutrality shows that the Republican party is against innovation, against American competitiveness and only seeks to put more money in the hands of their friends and contributors, the Nation and the people be damned.
But hey, when your core voter base is a bunch of pisswater guzzling, bible-banging, NASCAR fans who get their news from Glenn Beck and social opinions from Reality TV, I guess you don't even need to attempt to hide your hypocrisy since the majority of retards who voted for you are too dumb to think.
Net Neutrality assures more jobs, more innovation and continued competitiveness in an open marketplace. Opposing it will only benefit Comcast, Verizon and AT&T while preventing new startups who can't pay the extortion fees if they aren't blocked all together for daring to compete with their own "premium services"
America is already falling far behind in internet infrastructure. Asians can get Gigabit lines for what we pay for standard DSL, yet AT&T and Comcast are still stumbling around dragging their feet with IPv6 and it's taking an act of Congress to FORCE them to get internet access speeds to 1/10 of what Japan has today by 2020! Yet they have spared no expense suing municipalities who wanted to offer free wifi services and opposing Google's plans for municipal WiMAX offerings. Opposing Net Neutrality will only insure this situation grows exponentially worse.
This is a guy operating with the deliberate intention of pissing most the governments of the entire western world off. While high-minded, it's not a very smart move if you intend on having a long, healthy and happy life

Sorry Apple, but you can stuff this "cease and disist letter" right up your ass. Steve Jobs is a public figure and this work can be considered a parody, regardless of it's "for profit" status. Don't you have an App in the App Store to censor out of existence?
I have plenty of Apple products, but it seems with every passing day Apple finds a way to make me like them less and less.
Time to remind your entire family that you are a hopelessly anti-social bore. But hey, at least you took a shower this week. So you got that going for ya.
Exactly. This is why we need to completely eradicate the middle class and hugely expand the rich/impoverished gap. If the unwashed masses are too poor to buy bomb materials or afford an education to learn how to make them, then the rich will be safe and freedom will prosper.
Having owned both cats and dogs, I can say that yes, dogs are much smarter and learn faster. Also, acts of discontentment evidenced by both leads me to think dogs are smarter. Dogs when upset will display social mannerisms such as whining, groveling/placation. Cat's will typically defecate and/or show agression.
Hey ASSange, how about publishing a full, detailed account of your RAPE allegations, because it's back on and we the masses should be privy to all the evidence the "lying accusers" have provided to convinced the Swedish authorities to go after poor little you, you grandstanding megalomaniacal asswipe. If these charges are so unfounded, I'm sure you'd be more than willing to expose the evidence and turn yourself in in response to your international arrest warrant.
If I wanted a case of eyestrain, I'd have bought a shiny new 3D TV which would at least allow me to oogle larger than life boobies while hurting myself. However, this font may produce some "hi-res" ascii movies... someone should run Deep Throat through the ascii encoder with it.

The summary clearly states "Linux retains a spot in the top-5", then goes on to say that China has 2 "top spots", with America and Japan only having one spot a piece. And while that may be true if you limit it to a "top-4", America is tied with China if you count the number 5 position. So why does the OP pull this slight of hand, only counting the top 4 as the "top spots" after making reference to the "top-5" as the measure of top positions? Looks like bias to me.
Back in the early 90's I had a friend who showed me his Federal ID, they had a front and profile photo and made him hold his hair back to expose his ear for the profile shot. He explained that they used the earlobe as an identifying feature since each person's was unique and was a practice they got from the Nazis. So reading this now, almost 20 years later leaves me scratching my head at what seems to be very very very old news. Of course, I did not read the article, and wouldn't be surprised if it were repeat from the 40's
I woke up this very morning and said to myself "Self, HTML5/AJAX development would benefit from a new browser having to be debugged, tested and developed against, especially one that can introduce a whole new paradigm and is more about showing off new features rather than perfecting old standards. In fact, the least standards compliant the better I say. Yes, self, we need more pain. We craves pain, we needs it. That's why we do web development is it not?"
Then you'd see first hand from the late Mortimer I. Luddite III with his frantic pleas to stop those infernal horseless carriages from destroying his buggy-whip business he made just days before being struck down and killed by a Model T going a whopping 10 miles an hour through the town square. Innovation and progress is only good so long as the established powers that be profit by it.
This idea is completely obvious when taking into account users having internet enabled mobile devices with GPS. Shame on the USPTO to bundle up a couple existing technologies in an obvious manner that effectively shuts down inovation.
Guess I'll have to tell my client that we have to stop work on their snazzy HTML5/AJAX site and hold off on it for a few years. Ohhh wait.... the W3C is a bunch of prudish pencil-necks who move at a snails pace and are generally clueless to how the real world works.
Hey W3C: Bite me, developers will develop no matter what you say.
So you propose that the ISP redirect every single HTTP request made by every infected user machine to some page on the ISPs network? And you don't see that there might be a tiny little flaw with this plan? I'm no expert on networking, but that sounds like a good way for an ISP to DDoS itself.
Why not work with WAN router manufacturers to include a nifty webpage accessible in their firmware and a means for the ISP to toggle it through a management system. All the modern cable modems and DSL routers have a built in apache server anyway. That way the end users traffic on *all* ports stops inside the walls of their home and doesn't disrupt trafic elsewhere. This could likely be delivered via a firmware update to all existing home routers.
No public API, only some ambiguous statement saying they *might* be willing to license you you for at least $10,000, maybe, if they are feeling ok about it that is. There needs to be an open web platform that does what IMDB does, but allows it's information to be used freely. While I can understand there needs to be a standard as to what get's in, not including something solely because it's internet distribution only shows that though they exist on the net, they don't really care for it. We deserve better.
