they're trying to set a legal precedented to override the 5th for future cases, IMHO.
I am not a lawyer, but I suspect that even the most evil SC we can imagine will determine that if a suspect is not subject to prosecution in the absence of an action, then that action is protected.
She's an idiot, if she would have just paid a "hacker" to claim to hack her phone it would have been on/. Seriously does anyone believe these sex tape and hacked phone stories anymore? Ever since Paris Hilton went from zero to famous (well, more famous, famous beyond "daddy owns hotels") from her sex tape every attention whore has been doing it.
Seriously. Have you noticed that Erin Andrews is all over the place now? Why is that?
He said, "You have to fight for your privacy, or you will lose it." This is quite different from his infamous 2009 remark: "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place."
Different and yet the same. These two statements are simply reflections of the current reality.
Congressperson: That's fucked up. I should introduce legislation which would allow the consumer to get out of their contract if the carrier breaks it like this.

Congressperson. Free market!
No, you cannot make a supercomputer which will be a replica of the human brain. First of all, we don't know enough about the biochemical workings of the brain to do that. Every day the literature contains papers in which the incredibly complex soup inside cells shows us some ridiculous interaction we could not have predicted.
It would be the equivalent of building a lemonade stand, staffing it with a five-year-old, and claiming that you were replicating the US economy.
I was uneasy when the UN black copters came over to try and take my guns and when they tried to take over the Web - but making me eat bugs is too much. The resistance begins today!
If anything, it shows how bored we are with the internet and that ANY new content sparks interest, however trivial.
In my head I hear my response in Louis C. K.'s voice: You've got a slab of plastic and metal you can carry around under your arm that lets you look up the answer to any question, have a text conversation in real time with anyone on the planet, access all the works of art ever created - and you're bored. Seriously. I just searched the word 'artichoke' and got 9.9 million links in under a second. And you are jaded. That's not even good enough to hold your attention anymore?
...funding the study of beetles migration habits? yeah I dont think we need to waste money on that one
Until those beetle you ignore start boring into and killing the trees you were counting on for lumber and paper or eating your corn crop. Then you will cry and moan and complain about those damn scientists not studying the important things.

India should be working on improved stick technology so they can win WWIV.
works great when you can use the two magic words: nuclear fucking weapons
I thought the two magic words were precious bodily fluids.

I'm one hour away from full decryption and sellout of the entire USA economy, and you can't stop me.
No, but your mom can. She just called down the stairs that your Hot Pockets are done.

Just to piss them off.

Congress needs to mount an investigation to find the batch of idiots who wrote these tax laws which allow corporations to do this!
I'd like to see what Steven Moffat could do with Star Trek.

This case will join the McDonalds' spilled coffee suit in the "spark the knee-jerking hall of fame".
It was B&N was getting out of clicks to focus on bricks.
The B&N CEO must have just read The Road Ahead.

How close would one of these events have to be to us to fuck us up?
No flying cars yet, but apparently we have Uniblab in alpha.

I'm going to start making shirts with IR LEDs sewn into them.

Great. That's where the camera is. I'll have some wonderful footage to provide the cops....
Not if he follows you for five hours beforehand.

For the curious, this is a neonicotinoid insecticide:

It is neonicotinoid because it resembles nicotine:

Which is why some organic pesticide tea recipes call for steeping plug chewing tobacco in water and using that extract on your plants.
Let me guess. You get to define what belongs in the "real" economy. Is it full of true Scotmen?
The surest way to turn kids off of science fiction is to make reading it mandatory in school.
