That is basically my point. I just made a comment last week on a site that required a login with a choice of various ones (twitter, FB, and others). What I did was create a fake facebook account, and posted my comment. Maybe my account will be suspended or deleted in the future, but I already made my comment on the site that required a login. If I can create a fake facebook profile and comment, then what is the point, unless I'm a frequent commenter (which I'm not). I did this not so much because I want to remain anonymous, but because I'm tired of sites that want me to use my FB ID to get into their site or comment.
Gawker Media can go screw themselves anyway, it isn't like they have high journalistic standards anyway. I might have visited their site a few times, I always feel like I wasted my time in doing so.
To me this isn't about Gawker, this is about leveraging off of various other social media. I don't want to be someone else's leverage. Unless there is something in it for me.
Feel free to report me them. PS, the facebook johnny cashed isn't me. You need to be sure of your target before you shoot. Good luck tracking down all the Robert Smiths while you're at it.
Just use your fake facebook page for your logon. Don't have a fake facebook account? Well that sounds like a personal problem. Poison the data well, make fake accounts. Garbage in, garbage out.
I think that you are giving an example of an edge case. Sure, a cyclist could cause a bus driver to swerve to avoid an accident and hit that tanker truck full of gasoline, while a tank truck of liquid oxygen drives by...
Most car-bike accidents favor the auto driver, in terms of lack of injuries.
You're giving too much credit to biodiesel. When diesel engines started becoming computer controlled (for emissions and efficiency) is when they really got cleaned up. There was a time when mechanical injection pumps were more common. A lead-footed driver could stomp the pedal and dump more fuel into the engine than could be burned resulting in lot of partially burned fuel which would manifest itself in the form of black smokey exhaust.
4runner is a truck, no need for a jack. They make pipe cutters with multiple wheels on a chain and a vise-grip like handle. It allows for plumbers to do repairs in tight spaces. Quiet, quick. Or just turn up your stereo while your buddy uses a cordless sawzall (TM).
I don't even think they need to resort to cutting off fingers and toes. That's messy and unpleasant. Plus it leaves direct evidence of the torture. That is the beautiful thing about "enhanced interrogation" (torture by any other name). Sleep deprivation, sensory overload (music for example), 24/7 bright light, 24/7 darkness, no windows, naked, cold, hot, nothing but a locked door and a drain, some food, some water, no toilet, no toilet paper. And then the daily water-boarding (with a defibrillator handy, so you don't accidentally die), drugging your food, giving you food you hate, restraints so you can't try to kill yourself, god knows what else they could do. You'd want to die. But it wouldn't leave a single physical scar. Mentally, you can break a person. They will say anything to leave the hell you've created for them.
I'm not saying that the CIA has used all these techniques. Water-boarding is known. That alone is bad enough. Matter of fact, you probably don't need half the things on my list, just some restraints with your head inclined so your lungs don't fill with water. From Guantanamo to Abu Ghraib to "black sites" many of the things on my list have occurred under the control of the US government. Doesn't matter if it were a few "bad apples", many of the things on my list were permitted under "enhanced interrogation"
The last thing they want to give to an enemy working on missile development would be some inertial navigation tech. If they can see it, they can probably shoot it down, stealthy or otherwise.
Just require the driver in the driving test to talk on a phone, navigating a voice menu, eating french fries with dipping sauce, and selecting music from an ipod.
Oversight and bidding processes? Aside from times of war, the government has some strict purchasing policies to help prevent gouging and abuse. Do I get that with by mandatory insurance payment?
Can I choose a government run health care plan? Or do I have to choose private insurance? See the difference? It's very slight. If you want to say that the private industry can run it better, that isn't my argument. If the Federal government is going to force me to buy something, and not call it a tax, they had better offer what they are forcing me to buy. If they force me to pay some private corporation for health insurance, that is wrong.
I won't miss it. I hated the way it interfaced. I'd see something interesting on the google news page within fast flip. I'd click on the article in fast flip to read it. Instead, it opened up into fast flip. I then had to click on the article a second time to read it. Annoying.
Granted, maybe if you used fast flip to browse through news, one might like it. I was annoyed at the way it functioned from the google news page, enough so that I removed the whole sidebar. There were other problems I had with the sidebar so it wasn't the only reason for the removal, but fast flip wasn't missed by this user.
And I think that should be allowed as well. Just because some idiot yells "fire" in a crowded theater, doesn't mean one should be alarmed. I've always been uncomfortable with the "fire in a crowded theater" exception for free speech. Free speech should be just that, the ability to say whatever you want. Repercussions of your actions will determine the correct course of action. If you cause a panic, which results in injury, then find an appropriate punishment, leave the speech out of it. Negligence, inciting a riot, disturbing the peace, etc. there are plenty of laws that deal with the "fire in a crowded theater" problem.

He also said "get off my lawn!"

What the hell. A lower jaw made from titanium and no photo? Is this some sort of medical privacy thing? I want to see photos of a titanium lower jaw.
Exactly. Can't any jackass claim to be a member of Anonymous? Or is there some sort of secret handshake? It isn't SPECTRE we're talking about.
Not if it is breech loading. Then it is a smooth bore long gun.

Or, for added bling, silver plating. Perfect for Apple products!
Maybe this will introduce standards for coding that the insurance industry can live with.
UL listed code?
You mean the kind of mines introduced by the Germans in WWII: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-mine
The last thing they want to give to an enemy working on missile development would be some inertial navigation tech. If they can see it, they can probably shoot it down, stealthy or otherwise.
Therefore, no fancy inertial navigation.
Just require the driver in the driving test to talk on a phone, navigating a voice menu, eating french fries with dipping sauce, and selecting music from an ipod.
Renewal test every 4 years.
Or the backup copy kept in Huntsville Alabama:

Oversight and bidding processes? Aside from times of war, the government has some strict purchasing policies to help prevent gouging and abuse. Do I get that with by mandatory insurance payment?
No, that is supported by TAX money.

The British government is examining whether it could save money by getting rid of its printers and giving civil servants free iPads instead.
You keep using that word, I don't think you understand what it means. The sentence would have worked fine without it.
I fail to see where a government issued iPad is free. The article didn't use that word.

Hopefully it ends with better customer service. If someone is making a solution for crappy voice menu systems, it is because enough people hate them.
Better ways of dealing with the customer is where it should end.
