Litigation and allegations of abuses of the USA PATRIOT Act aren't coming to light because bringing them to light violates the USA PATRIOT Act.
The ACLU is fighting it, but even they had to keep that fact secret until recently:
The lawsuit also challenges the constitutionality of the statute's gag provision, which prohibits anyone who receives an NSL from disclosing even the mere fact that the FBI has sought information.
Heinz is a global company that deals in perishable foods.
This is like complaining that McDonalds has restaurants in Japan- they need to sell the food there because who's gonna want to eat it after it's been Fed-Ex'ed from Iowa?
...can Slashdot break this story?
It's just a press release from TiVo. Can we get this taken care of for next year while we're at it?
February 1, 2005-
Astonishing privacy concerns surfaced today as it was shockingly discovered that TiVo uses aggregate data to anonymously track the viewing habits of it's users!
During the expanded 90 minute half-time show the most replayed moment happened when a dog jumped, missed a frisbee and collided with a member of the "Up with People!" organization. The dog was immediately put down.
This of course was quite a contrast with last years most replayed moment which involved Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake. Shortly after the 2004 Superbowl, Jackson and Timberlake quit making horrible, horrible pop music and joined a monastery, never to be heard from again. /I wish
Is there any way to use a DirecTV receiver with only a broadband connection? I was able to do it with my Series 1 TiVo and now the support is built in to the newer ones... here's hoping DirecTV is keeping up with the times.
As much as I hate my cable company, I can't justify hooking up a land line just for DirecTV...
I hated the story- didn't matter that it came out on (or near) a busy weekend... this shouldn't have sucked as bad as it did. The fact that it did suck so unrelentingly tells you that the franchise is headed the wrong direction.
Give it a breather... they've sucked the sterile, turgid Star Trek world dry for now.
I'll have you know that my mother is a whore. It doesn't come as a shock to me that she would sleep with the likes of you. I bet she loved your lame old lawyer jokes. Did you tell her the one about the chicken and the road? That one f'n cracks me up.
So, you slept with an ugly bitch like my mom and all your friends could come up with were some lame insults?
Bwahahahaha!!! Your friends wouldn't happen to write for The Tonight Show, would they?
Most customers wouldn't notice that time on their router logs are off. How many people with Netgear routers will be examining the logs regularly?
Of the few that would notice, if they complained to Netgear you can bet they wouldn't hear back from them until a month later with an email asking if their problem has resolved itself like the guy in the article.

You go Ben.
Hmmm... I suppose the guilt of getting all this free content weighs on my soul... so in a way it's not free.
Dude, you just blew my mind.

That's a shock.

Let's blame it all on the theme song.

This news makes me want to kill Haitians even more than the game made me want to...
