Why not be proactive....For example, you could hack into a corporation, steal some secret documents, and threaten to reveal them unless they give you a job. YMMV.
Because the right of the people to assemble peaceably doesn't have a time-limit? "You may assemble, but not at night. Limit your protests in public spaces to ten hours a day" isn't in the Constitution.
No, but just because you are protesting doesn't allow you to violate the law. If there are laws in place restricting the ability to set up a camp in a park, bring in generators, create health code violations etc., it must apply equally to all citizens.
I also find it highly ironic that some of the protesters relying on the 1st amendment to enable their protest, also take offense to the very same freedom of the press that amendment enables.
I don't know what you're referring to here, and I'm curious about it.
People make all kinds of fun of the Tea Party idiots, but at least they had a coherent (albeit misguided) message.
The problem with OWS is there is no coherence. You have everybody from the outsourced laid off worker, to the screwed over homeowner forclosed out of his house, to the socialist mom's basement dweller who thinks everyone should make at least $15/hr.
At first, they were completely ignored by the media. Then Fox News made fun of them. Then some momentum picked up and there was finally some decent news coverage. And then it devolved into a complete incoherent mess where a few bad apples spoiled the bunch.
I'm fairly certain the constitution says "... or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
It doesn't say anything about turning a public park (privately owned I know) into an encampment for the convenience of the protesters. Why can't they protest, then go home and come back the following day. Convenient, no, but that's the price of admission.
Don't misunderstand, I fully support those advocating the fight against corp and govt corruption, cronyism etc. I just don't agree they should be able to take over a public park and deny the rights of the other citizens access to it.

Of course they are still people. They are just people who chose not to live by society's rules, and thus should not be afforded the privileges of video games or other such leisure. It's prison FFS. My kids don't get to play video games when they break the rules either.
Instead of giving them video games, how about teaching them a skill. After all, isn't the supposed purpose of prison to rehabilitate. Maybe if they had something to offer society when they get out, they can become valuable members of it again.

"People use GPS jamming devices to get out of paying tolls in the US - that's just broadcasting noise on the right channel."
Care to explain? Automated toll collection systems use license plate cameras to detect evaders.
Not quite sure how GPS figures into that.

Maybe that little Dutch boy can plug this security dike.
If he blasts it everywhere, all at once, the company will get the shit storm if they try to crack him. But definitely get a lawyer first.
The trouble with shit storms is it's hard to avoid getting any on you.

You don't understand a thing about this protest do you?
I think you can blame the protesters for that

How about, because they are f*#king prisoners.
