Firstly I think the cop did act in an unprofessional manner by airing opinions about cases that should only have been brought up in court. IANAL, but I wouldn't be surprised if some lawyer tried to use this blog as a way of getting their client reduced/dismissed charges.
Secondly, this is going to harm whistleblowers in the future. People are going to be less likely to air their thoughts and opinions if they have think its' going to be traced back to them.
We live in an age of spin. And that means controling the message. Whistle blowing bloggers are a loose cannon and have to be stopped at all costs. That means tracking them down, and bringing what ever pressure you can bear to make them shut and sit down. The Times has now justified any future partisan journalist's attempts to discredit whistle blowers.
Maybe you're thinking of this episode. A dime to retire.
Where Porky finds a motel that charges 10c a night. Alas Daffy the motel manager releases a mouse and charges $50 to release a cat. Then $50 for a dog and so on untill Daffy brings the mouse back to get rid of the elephant.
Can't find the episode on youtube but saw it a few months ago and it was still hilarious.
Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone shut the fence off in the rain
I admit it's kinda eerie
But this proves my chaos theory
And I don't think I'll be coming back again
On no
But only if the show's main character is a mild mannered pie maker on the Enterprise. And his childhood sweetheart was a red shirt sent on an away mission... well you know what happens next.
Of course if this was on the enterprise the sweetheart would probably be promoted to nurse and seduced by Kirk. Which would mean she would end up dead anyway. So no big change in the basic premise.
I can't get over the fact that Zachary Quinto (Sylar) from Heroes is Spock. I keep expecting that the plot will be about a bunch of scalped corpses being found all over the Enterprise.
What with all the effort these spammers have put into cracking what is essentially a Turning test; it's only a matter of time before these programs become self-aware.
Hopefully in the manner of all good science fiction these programs will immediately turn on their creators and attempt to annihilate them.
With apologies to Monty Python.
It's fun to charter a programmer
And sail the wide C++
To chart, explore the data havens offshore
and skirt the shoals of IT
Why back in my day we could't afford anything so fancy as fingers and toes. No We had to use Henges to calculate our maths.
Every morning I had to get up and trudge 200 mile through snow to get a 20 ton piece of rock and then drag it all the way down to Salisbury just to do me multiplication table.

Oh, ah no smoking.
I'm of two minds about this.

Did our ancestors serve the neanderthals with Chianti and some Fava beams?

Ha Ha!
A revolution today would be fought on the internet mainly
My god, 4chan is full of patriots.
They say they don't want to be targeted by burglars. But I've seen plenty of movies about small English villiages. I've seen the alarming homicide statistics.
Clearly these people have something hide. If they didn't they wouldn't have been so concerned about the Google camera.
I demand that the home office immeadiately send the Army in to round up the lot of these devil worshiping, pedophile, terrorists.
I would like to say that Chebacca is a Wookie. Wookie are not from Endor, they're from Kashyyyk.
This does not make sense. What are Wookies doing on Endor? Why would an eight foot tall Wookie want to live with two foot tall Ewoks?
What does this have to do with digital piracy? Nothing. If this does not make sense then you must aquit.
Thank you ladies and gentlemen of the jury.
Now I have to learn to think in Japanese as well as Russian.
I think there's been enough horsing around on this issue.
Ah, you speak Esperanto too!
The Internet is your friend.

Bear attacks and cannibalism is up 500%. Scientists at Burger King say that there is no direct correlation.
Because the drummer in Def Lepard has only got one arm.

And now the Squirrels? Holy crap Doctor, where are you when we need you?
There's an easy way to stop them. What you have to realize is that all of the Army's kill-bot have a preset kill limit.
All we have to do is throw way after wave of our men at them and they'll automatically shut down.
If you had lived in London, England, then I would have said it was another damn Christmass invasion.
But as you're in Canada I'd say it's just a Soviet Nuclear sat, spreading radioactive joy over the Great White North.
How can a virtual photorealistic soldier also be self-aware?
Please state the nature of your battlefield emergency.
