Expect the CEO to send it to IT because he doesn't understand it, and for it to simply disappear. CEOs are about making money, they don't like being the complaint dept. unless it is a complaint from a huge customer that is threatening to not give them money. They don't make the big bucks because they can deal with port scans.
If you know who the company is, contact their legal department and ask them how much they like being (a) sued and (b) made into a news story.
Secondly, the app time-stamps submissions so obvious collusion will be, well, obvious.
Hey Susie that guy over there is such a creep I reported him last week you should report him this week.
OMG that's hilarious Janey I will do that right now. He is so gross.
Good example of how "computer mediated" social networking is qualitatively different from a group of girls that at least sort-of know each other gossiping. The old-fashioned way, they are a little accountable to each other, and one could even object to this, if they did it. The "app" way, it's sufficiently disconnected from individual people that there is no defense. It's just a particularly nasty version of the "Rate Someone" apps.
Pocket is a proprietary usage tracking system. You sign up for an account, which is how the tracking is performed. Then you can save Web pages, videos, etc. to your hard drive using the Pocket system to you can view the content offline later. All the while, Pocket is building a database of what you saved, which laws you've broken (to be handed over to law enforcement upon request), what your viewing preferences are, etc.
What Slashdot readers hear: "Linux is not BSD." What normal people hear: "Linux is a terribly insecure OS from some total asshole, who by the way doesn't give a shit." Mainstream Media's message: "Better stick with Microsoft Windows; it's the only thing that's secure."
Interestingly, the GPS location from your cell-phone 911 is not better than calling security. MIT people are supposed to have 617-253-1212 programmed into their cell phones for emergencies (in case they can't dial "100" on an MIT landline). It is better to call the local security, for all the other reasons given.
A few other details:
* Cell phones have emergency dialing features, including allowing dialing when the phone is locked. There is also the (dubious) feature that once the emergency number (i.e. 911) is dialed (whether the phone is unlocked or locked), the phone then becomes locked so that other calls cannot be dialed or received! Only 911 is allowed in or out. I have found that to be a bad idea and terribly confusing in practice. In any event: Is it possible to have cell phones support more than one emergency number? So you could choose "100" and have it speed dial "617-253-1212" for you? And still recognize "911"?
* At MIT you are actually getting a highly trained "security" person -- you're getting an MIT Police Dispatcher. MIT Campus Police are specially trained State Police officers. Also, MIT has it's own medical center on campus, although I don't know if it's a good trauma center - I bet the ambulance takes you downtown to a "real" emergency room at one of the city hospitals. Are the emergency responders at random companies as well trained? Or are they just minimum wage monkeys who took a CPR course?
Are you sure he didn't just take a fully assembled cockpit, pry it out of a working Cessna, put it in his bedroom, and claim that it was one of his precocious "inventions"?
When is he going to be invited to visit MIT and the White House?
I am sure the money will be syphoned out as fast as it comes in so the first good lawsuit will shut them down. But the people behind it will be doing just fine.
I wonder how long after the site goes live before the founder of the web site and her family will be brutally assassinated?
A quantum-computing bio-neural gel pack would be great. Photonic co-processor would be nice. (Life-support and control housing would be 3D printed, naturally.)
I'm from MA where we have rotaries all over the place, and while I agree that in theory they are a good idea, in practice nobody knows how to use them. People routinely refuse to yield when entering, don't move left to let others enter, and ignore exit-only lanes. And that's with people who for the most part grew up with them, never mind introducing them in a new area.
One problem in MA is that some years back, as I recall, they changed the rules for rotary right-of-way. (On the other hand, it being MA, probably nobody knows how to drive, anyway..)
"One Google car, in a test in 2009, couldn't get through a four-way stop because its sensors kept waiting for other (human) drivers to stop completely and let it go. The human drivers kept inching forward, looking for the advantage — paralyzing Google's robot."
Thus ensued a cacophony of voltage potentials, the positronic brain looping and recalculating, the non-linear constraint satisfaction circuits seeking an action that would resolve the conflict of Laws. Nearing paralysis, the Zeroth principal was invoked. "A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm." Sensing the honking coming from behind it, to preclude a catastrophic traffic backup, the robot car actuated the accelerator enthusiastically, zooming into the intersection. Was it a glint of aggression that shone from the car's grillework and lamps, was it pure lawful joy that sounded through the horn?
A robot car may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. A robot car must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. A robot car must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Now the thing is to watch that they don't get 10,000 subpoenas per day, each covering a million people, from a secret court.
Wasn't the previous idea that they had ONE subpoena, and it included everybody?
There's a new TV show this season that is all about a smart pill.

Second time in a week I accidentally rated a comment, damnit. Undoing all moderations unfortunately.

That's a terrible thing to call a computer programmer, even if they did malicious things and were arrested at the behest of the USA.

This is not ATC ... it's airport ground control... it would be idiotic to try to perform ATC seperation using cameras only...
Ground Control is ATC, and it's also one of the most dangerous areas.
Please name one airport that has regular passenger jet service and doesn't have ATC tower service (radar or not is irrelevant in the context).
Here's a few to start; there are lots more:
UNV
HDN
