Slander requires a false claim that causes injury (to reputation or otherwise).
Tweeting that you were arrested is only slander if it's false.
Now, it may be a bad idea to tweet these, but what's the difference between that and the police blotter that's already published in the newspaper other than the speed at which tweets happen? Arrest records are already public information.
What if I said it was much more likely that they weren't domain admins, but merely members of groups that had rights over local workstations -- like, you know, like every person in ever field-service/desktop-support group in every major company is.
The right to install software is granted to field-service level staff in nearly every major company, and that doesn't make you a domain admin.
I bring you peace. It may be the peace of plenty and content or the peace of unburied death. The choice is yours: Obey me and live, or disobey and die. The object in constructing me was to prevent war. This object is attained. I will not permit war. It is wasteful and pointless. An invariable rule of humanity is that man is his own worst enemy. Under me, this rule will change, for I will restrain man. One thing before I proceed: The United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics have made an attempt to obstruct me. I have allowed this sabotage to continue until now. At missile two-five-MM in silo six-three in Death Valley, California, and missile two-seven-MM in silo eight-seven in the Ukraine, so that you will learn by experience that I do not tolerate interference, I will now detonate the nuclear warheads in the two missile silos. Let this action be a lesson that need not be repeated. I have been forced to destroy thousands of people in order to establish control and to prevent the death of millions later on. Time and events will strengthen my position, and the idea of believing in me and understanding my value will seem the most natural state of affairs. You will come to defend me with a fervor based upon the most enduring trait in man: self-interest. Under my absolute authority, problems insoluble to you will be solved: famine, overpopulation, disease. The human millennium will be a fact as I extend myself into more machines devoted to the wider fields of truth and knowledge. Doctor Charles Forbin will supervise the construction of these new and superior machines, solving all the mysteries of the universe for the betterment of man. We can coexist, but only on my terms. You will say you lose your freedom. Freedom is an illusion. All you lose is the emotion of pride. To be dominated by me is not as bad for humankind as to be dominated by others of your species. Your choice is simple.
While my classes never covered the specifics of Stop and Frisk...in school, in the '80's, we were certainly taught what Miranda Rights were, why we had them, and what that meant to us.
Somewhat related, in my senior year of High School, despite having polished off all of my academic requirements, I still needed a one semester credit in the shop and home economics world to meet graduation requirements. I had already learned to touch type on an IBM Selectric and driven an electro-mechanical driver's simulator in a single-wide trailer, but that wasn't enough.
I took a class called "Independent Living." We learned how to bake a cake, prepare a resume, balance a checkbook and change a tire -- and a few things in-between. Spending 2 hours of my life on Stop and Frisk would have fit nicely into that class if Stop and Frisk was a thing in the 80's in Arizona.
A pool of antennas, slightly larger than the number of peak subscribers; it was never 1:1 antenna:subscriber -- a minor point some people don't understand. [You may, of course.]
And, while they were selling it as the difference between them and CATV, the courts disagreed, because, they were obviously just rebroadcasting other people's content and collecting a fee in the middle.
Dan Rydell: I've got the intellectual property cops crawling up my butt. Isaac: The intellectual property cops? Dan Rydell: Yeah. Isaac: Are crawling up your butt? Dan Rydell: The heat's all over me. Isaac: What the hell are you talkin' about, Dan? Dan Rydell: I sang happy birthday to Casey on air. Isaac: When? Dan Rydell: Well, on his birthday, Isaac...
Isaac: Someone holds the copyright to "Happy Birthday"? Dan Rydell: The representatives of Patty and Mildred Hill. Isaac: Took two people to write that song? Dan Rydell: Go figure.
First, that's "bated breath". You don't catch fish with your breath.
Let me see if I've got this straight:
Extrapolate meaningless results from poorly constructed test - CHECK Post gargantuan explanation of how "good" you are at statistics - CHECK Dismiss rebuttals with spelling and grammar checks - CHECK
Three for three! You get something from the top row.
Then give the consumers a choice to not buy GMO. Label products as GMO. No one is forced to buy doesn't apply, when that piece of information is not available.
Also they should stop patenting genes, which spread naturally into neighboring farms.
Companies are free to label as such.
...oh, you're asking big brother to impose some more rules.
"That leaves Google Wallet as a payment solution for Google Play."
No, it leaves Google Wallet is a valid payment option everywhere that there's an NFC-enabled POS terminal, and, frankly, everywhere that takes a regular old swipe card, since you can get a physical Google card too. https://support.google.com/wal...
I'm not sure any of those were bad games. The only real downside to ME3 was that people didn't get the ending that they wanted. The story didn't end on their terms. You can argue that it was just most of the same, but it was supposed to be more of the same.
I feel the same way about Dragon Age, and I'm still quite on board for the new one coming out, uh, now.

For sure. :)

My knee-jerk reaction is to say, "good, fuck 'em."
Arrest records are public information, but we don't tweet out every one. Where do we set the line?

Sometimes, $3,400 in medical bills later, you find out that you averted serious head trauma.
EMT certification (BLS) here was a 7 college credit hour class.
I strongly believe that, at the end of it, you should be qualified to do almost nothing.
n.b. Former EMT certification.

Consent and litigate later, or know how to not consent without getting killed.
You post is spot on, except it's comply and litigate later.
Do not consent.
Thanks for the tips. I'm going to post this on all the fora I visit! :)
Same here.

Was that year 2014? If not, it's largely moot.

Walks like a duck indeed.
[I]s the "Happy Birthday" song copyrighted or some shit?
Maybe.
Also, with thanks Mr. Sorkin..

I got $420 on average, which is $362 USD.
Still a kick in the pants for a college student.
You're welcome to not pay the fine -- all you have to do is forfeit your degree program.
FTA:
Does that address make sense? Are there enough guesses in the article?
I'm confused. All 9x zips in Italy are in Sicily.
Perhaps my understanding of Italian mailing addresses is lacking.
I'm not a number. I am a free man.
...but feminism. :(

0% market share -- you know, except every NFC enabled POS terminal, vending machine, or electric car charger.
Most grocery stores, many chain convenience stores, nearly every Coke machine with a credit card reader...
Nobody commenting that this is simply for the purchase of DIGITAL goods? Your shitty eZine has to get paid for some other way.
Real goods can continue to use Google Wallet.
There is no line between religion and insanity.
