what about just sending an email? why send the message using the stupid facebook message system. unless you want to leave a comment for others to see. just write a goddamn email.
im curious about this too. none of the stories that i've read have described how he was caught.
i vaguely recall some other scandals involving stock prices and internet message boards (i think it was yahoo as well). it's possible that after a few scandals that yahoo teamed up with the FTC or the SEC to track ip's and registrations and such.
or maybe there was just a mole in his office.
either way, i'd really like to know how he was caught so i can avoid a similar fate.
i dont like the yes men either. i tend to agree with their positions, but i feel like they ultimately hurt their cause because they wind up looking like idiots and don't change any minds but just serve as entertainment for the most die hard of leftists.
nevertheless, their internet connection was turned off because exxon didnt like what they were saying. it's kind of disconcerting. had this been any group conservative, liberal or otherwise it is troubling that they can be wiped off the face of the internet.
that's why it's news for nerds and why you're flamebait.
the legislature didn't actually "reject" it. they just didnt pass it. and yes, they concluded their regularly scheduled legislative session last week. BUT, they're expected back for a "special" session in July, and the governor has implied that he will call them back several times.
students of the NYS legislature will also tell you that the "special" sessions tend to be when the sneakiest things go on in NYS because, in general, they garner less attention and most of the legislators just want to make it as quick as possible and get back to their families.
that being said, NY does have a very strong voting rights coalition with a number of very smart and talented people working very hard to make sure that this DOESNT go through.
one good thing did happen at the end of session. is that NYVV's (New Yorker's for Verified Voting) Bo Lipari (who's been leading the charge AGAINST microsoft's lobbyists) has been granted a seat at the table. the citizen's advisory board now has statutory authority. which means that when the board of elections makes decisions about this stuff he's got a seat at the table to help shape the outcome.
There are moments in the article where he intelligently breaks down aspects of the hatred being tossed around, possibly in conflict of interest scenarios.
it's not that intelligent. and while it certainly criticizes the "haters" it never acknowledges that there may be legitimate reasons to not get swept up in the iPhone hype (people are sleeping on streets for them, come on).
It seems much of the article points out that the iPhone gravitates heavily toward open standards, which I find to be a very good thing.
yes. no one will deny that open standards are bad. but it's "push" email isn't really open if it's yahoo only. most enterprise customers, for various legal and technical reasons, can't funnel their employees' mail through yahoo servers.
the iPhone certainly has some very unique features (the way it handles voicemail really excites me) and it's innovations will undoubtedly change the mobile phone lanscape.
but, the iPhone is not a panacea. it won't be perfect (edge? come on). there's a giant flame war happening across the world between iPhone haters and fanboys and this article is CLEARLY in the fanboy camp.
i really don't have any stats on other states but here are some things that might factor into it. i know some other attorneys general do similar actions but you're right that from what i can tell the NYS AG gets more attention.
1) we've got NYC which is one of the biggest media markets in the country if not world. 2) not sure about other states but in nys it's a bounty system. so the AG gets to keep a lot of what they win via these lawsuits to help fund other actions. the dept of law is a very big operation in nys. 3) it's an elected office and those elected to it have an interest in making a name for themselves. spitzer won in a landslide election for governor largely because he got his mug on the cover of time magazing for suing some people. 4) there might be something else

agreed. but from my experience these programs are more useful for stopping bad blocks. i started using Peer Guardian about a year ago. i was trying to get the latest ep of an HBO show and it kept failing. other people were commenting on the same torrent that it was legit. but after three tries it still wasn't working. PG gets updated from the community to block those known to be corrupting torrent networks. most torrent clients these days will auto block an ip after a certain number of bad blocks. but this will stop you from ever connecting to the ones that are already known.
will this stop me from getting sued? probably not. but, anecdotally at least, it helps speed up downloads.
copyrights, patents and trademarks are different. while they all might fall under the umbrella of "intellectual property" they serve different purposes.
IANAL.
but, iirc, SCO is filing patent claim against for misusing specific code that was patented. i could be horribly wrong, I admit.

well, for one. the original GTA was essentially a poor 2-d imitation of quarantine: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarantine_(game)
the .biz writer was merely quoting an EA developer. sounds about right.
don't giganews and usenet.com do pretty much the exact same thing?
i'd pay to see that. but can we work in terminator and robocop too?
they're also repositories for stolen video and probably even stolen software to a lesser extent.
more likely they'll just point out that you voided your warranty.

he probably meant to say:

it had to have been caught on video. who's got the youtube link? or perhaps an HD torrent?
i dont actually have anything to say here. im just posting to undo my accidental moderation of you as redundant. i was going for insightful. whoops.
yeah, they'll be shocked to learn that the asteroid has a naquadah core.

you realize of course that youtube's video quality capabilities will only increase over time. probably rapidly.

it was the original target. it's already been invaded. it just happened too quickly for you to notice.
i've seen it a few times on the cartoon network's weeknight futurama eps. guess they're going after the week night cartoon watcher demographic.
