The "good news" is that these "CNN events" are pretty common, and people aren't so fazed by them any more. And the public's attention span is woefully short, so the damage won't last more than a couple of weeks from a PR standpoint. Now if there are contract penalties for a breach, that's a different story altogether.
Good. It's about god-damned time that "security" ceased being a magic word that made money and organizational power come from the sky for those who uttered it.
And when they can't suck any money out, the have enough information on you to send you to collections and mangle your credit, so using a non-debitable or "chump" account with very little money in it is not a fix for getting screwed by PayPal.
So you're saying that expensive, elitist private colleges are the only ones worth attending? Those are the only ones I've heard of that categorically refuse to accept college courses taken for dual credit.
It's called a "search incident to arrest." You'd get hauled off to the pokey and they'd go through your phone, and wouldn't have a bit of recourse, unless you're already rich, in which case you might have a shot at getting a lawyer to take the case.
I wish I still had mod points for you! This crap is the next generation of the glass house priesthood trying to put the PC genie back into the bottle to restore their power.
Complex password policies as they're usually implemented, with short change intervals, are moronic. At best, users increment (i.e. $COMPLEX_PASSWORD1, $COMPLEX_PASSWORD2, and so on). At worst, they write them down and stick them under their keyboards. Force strong passwords or short change intervals, but not both. Of course, the security people who aren't power trippers are ass coverers, and have to check the box on the list from the auditor they hired to prove they need more security, and of course more budget . . . but I digress.
Why would the content of communications have any bearing whatsoever on why they were arrested? Actions the protesters took and eyewitness accounts would speak to whether there was anything relevant. I know little about this case, but if they need to go on a fishing expedition through text messages after the fact to find a reason to justify the arrests, it sure looks like they are on pretty thin ice.
In addition, many people in car accidents have bills that far exceed their ability to pay. Guess who takes up the slack? So that makes it my business too.
A dangerous, disingenuous argument that you might well one day find being used to persecute one of your own vices that harms no one but you.
He's counting the amount paid to AT&T during the contract, which, since required, is a legitimate method of computing the true cost of the iPhone or any cell phone.
So the list member just sets a forwarding rule, and the listserv mail goes to Google anyway. Sounds like a way for list admins to be pains in the ass without really accomplishing anything.
The paper book doesn't evaporate when you buy a new computer or reader. The paper book can be lent to a friend or sold. I agree with the OP that the word "buy" shouldn't be allowed to be used in advertising any DRM-tethered "product".

They drop projects faster than Paris Hilton's panties in the face of legal threats. Version control over Freenet or the like would be a good start.
Was just going to post about that. So yeah, you're not the only depraved one here :).
. . . does it bark when it smells suspicious traffic on the wire?

. . . this dragnet surveillance "for the children" would never be used to enforce copyright. Right, Senator RIAA?
Great F-14, kills infidels wonderfully. Allahu Ackbar! A++++++
Or that prosecutors made them an offer they can't refuse. I wouldn't be sure at all that the resurrected Demonoid isn't a honeypot.
And once rebates are on their radar, they'll probably make those offering them send a 1099 and charge you income tax on them.
You said "Any university worth attending . . ."

They're probing you to see if you're posting from an open proxy.

"You want me on that committee. You need me on that committee."
Oh, you strenuously object. Then I'll take some time and reconsider.
I have so been there! And what's great is how I am in trouble after such an exchange :).
