i dont understand this idea that blacks have different rights than white people. i am a white man...i can use the institutions set up for my race. a black man can use the institutions set up for his race. we have the exact same rights.
Fixed that for you. (Does it seem dumb now? It should.)
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they used the opportunity to expel their low-scoring students, simultaneously increasing their federal budget due to federal test-marks-for-dollars guidelines and lowering their costs due to having less students to serve.
Remember kids, wiretap laws and the Bill of Rights don't apply to you when you're enrolled in school.
Anyone agreeing with the school here really needs to read TFA (specifically the TechDirt article). Apparently he Tweeted while at home, and the school had a system set up that tracked all Twitter logins, recording all Tweets on those accounts. The kid must have logged in subsequently to posting the Tweet, and their spy system picked it up.
I mean, what the fuck. The school is literally spying on its students' private accounts. I bet their system picked up Direct Messages too, all in the name of anti-bullying. I really hope this kid calls the ACLU and gets this shut the hell down. This is a huge violation of his and the other students' rights. If he had posted the Tweet from the school it may have been slightly different but still an overreaction. This is outright wiretapping, unauthorized use of an account, a declaration that students' private lives are subject to the school's rules... what the hell is going on here?
Run for office. Seriously. I am a Lawful Permanent Resident so I can't, yet. If we had more rational people who weren't professional politicians running for office, and they could get their message out, this corruption problem would be fixed overnight.
I don't care what office, but I would really, really like someone to run for President who represents my views, since I will never have that ability.
No, it's not. In less than a year the public will completely forget about this, and Murdoch will still control the media. If the public cared about someone powerful being evil, Fox News would not still exist. They expect it.
More importantly, the FBI wants the data so they can go on the biggest digital fishing expedition ever. I expect they'll go after anyone whose account has versions of files protected by any of the major antipiracy "agencies".
Yeah, people like that make the rest of us look bad. I'm a Linux user and if Windows works well for you, I wish you the best.
The problem with assholes is that they're fucking loud, and they drown out the rest of us. I simply use Linux most of the time and thus don't really know the best answer to this question, so I keep my mouth shut.
Always remember that there's usually a silent majority that just doesn't have time for the bullshit.
I rarely shill for a product but if you have an Android phone with a less-than-optimal battery (like me), JuiceDefender does wonders. It turns off your phone's wi-fi and data connections (except for situations you configure like a streaming radio app is open) when your screen is off, turning them back on every X minutes so apps like email an sync on a reasonable schedule while not killing your battery. This by itself can save a huge amount of battery life (though it can do a lot more).
By its own calculations (which I of course take with a grain of salt) it has more than doubled my effective battery life, and I would guess from practical use that it's nearly correct.
Flamebait moderator, please justify yourself. There are a wealth of articles showing that the Bush White House tended to use Republican servers rather than the official White House servers because they allowed them to escape scrutiny and reporting requirements.
The reality is that George W. Bush did have such a team; the problem is that they worked for the Republicans, not the Government, and they took their technology with them when they left.
I'm just surprised this service hasn't been acquired by the MAFIAA. It could easily lead to the largest John / Jane Doe lawsuit ever filed; just make a little script to generate a legal document for every IP address matching one that downloaded something they think they own.
Yes, yes it did. It even had a Weezer video on it (to demonstrate a new codec that was being shipped with 95). Also Hover. The Win95 CD was actually pretty cool.
I would argue that this is why we shouldn't elect judges; judges should know the law (or at least the area of law on which they are ruling) inside and out, and this one clearly did not.
"Well look for it," she'd say. Well dammit, I shouldn't HAVE to look for it. It should be where I left it.
See, my wife has gotten to the point where she just accepts that she's better at finding things than I am, and I think we're both happier because of it.:^P
Slashdot Mirror
They rejected the treaty on the ground that they're the United States, and nobody's forcing them to give up their nukes. They just couldn't say that.
This should lead to some very interesting Batman-like robberies.
And by the way, a huge percentage of us read Slashdot at work. When we're at work, we don't watch videos, for what should be obvious reasons.
If you're guessing, you're doing it wrong.
And yes, if you are doing a brainstorming session among the editors, without asking the readership, that's still guessing.

Dude already gave up and moved to a new school, so no courts are going to touch this.

Perish the thought.

Force em to use Gentoo like I did. That'll sort the men from the boys (or the women from the girls, if you're optimistic).
Vince would make a natural Casey Jones, actually.

It was detecting the EURion constellation pattern and refusing to copy. Pretty standard.

I know if I was heading to England and saw an exit for Hawaii, I'd make some quick travel changes.

Or rather, one with each IP address. Obviously they're not going to file multiple cases with multiple filing fees; they're not made of money! (Yet.)
