People who keep any significant balance in their PayPal account are idiots anyway. It's certainly not necessary to pay with PayPal. When your balance get to over 100$, have them cut you a check. If you are conducting enough biz that you have a ton of money in your PayPal account, you're a moron for many reasons if you leave it sitting there.
PayPal's "bad behavior" is a non-issue if you manage your account with even a grain of intelligence.
The whole agreement was designed to bog down all requests in miles of red tape without having to deny them outright for a very long time, and employ a few more bureaucrats. Political expediency at its finest.
You base this interpretation on which parts of the agreement? Which facts? Or perhaps your comment is just gas?
Ah. Good things politicians don't have any say over government
What politicians here is the US say or don't say have VERY LITTLE to do with criminal law at the federal level, especially when is has to do with constitutional issues.
I take it you are not an American, so perhaps that explains why you haven't the slightest clue how law and politics work here. Your comments are ignorant in the context of American politics and legal issues.
I wouldn't use WikiLeaks as an example, since US politicians are calling it treason [thehill.com] (protip: you can only be a traitor to your *own* country)
What US *POLITICIANS* call ANYTHING is almost certainly hyperbole and irrelevant. What has the Justice Department called it? Not treason, because it isn't.
And seizing "80,000" domains that may very well be involved in pirated software and other illegalities *IS NOT* even within 20,000 miles of what Egypt and China do.
You're an idealistic college kid, I know, so I'll cut you slack on thinking taking down p2p and other illegal sites is on the same level with freedom of political thought.
Hate to break it to you, but the US has lost the moral high ground when it comes to internet freedom.
When was the last time the US Gov blocked / turned off the Internet to deprive the people freedom of speech? Did they block WikiLeaks? No they did not. Your ideological rant is not supported by, you know, actual facts.
Each country is responsible for maintaining root nameservers that resolve domains within their country code. If they want to put their country code on some other country's root nameservers, that's between those two countries, but one way or another that's the way it would need to work.
Making it even easier for folks like Iran and Egypt and Saudi Arabia to control information and (lack of) freedom...
Yet ANOTHER story about how many Facebook users are not particularly interested in hiding personal information. I mean. come on! This is some sort of News Flash? Is anyone unaware that Facebook is primarily a platform for sharing personal information?
The problem is that most TSA agents feel bad about groping another man's junk....
No, TSA guys do not feel bad about "groping" guys "junk" because they *DO NOT* grope guys "junk".
The facts are that at the MOST you *might* get a pat down that is no more invasive than a cop might give you if het thought you might be "packing". I ***KNOW*** this is true because unlike all you basement dwelling mother fuckers, I actually travel on real air planes 6 or 8 times a years (witch is 16 or so times through TSA).
There is a LOT to dislike about TSA, but fondling your balls is not going to happen.
I sense that a LOT of you geeks really WANT them to touch you?
Don't be an ass.
Minor calculation mistakes are made - and caught, just as the TSA did - every day. That's why such things are audited.
You can whoop this up with your lame emo-rant all you want if it makes you feel good, but the truth is *this* nonsense is not even near the middle of issues about TSA.
Beyond even the issues of "privacy" from prudes who don't want anyone to see their "privates", the real issue is BILLIONS spent on Security Theater, when simple profiling would be quite sufficient.
But of course "profiling" is a dirty word. Seems to work for the Europeans. Any of you yahoos travel through Frankfort or Rome recently?
While all you geeky LOSERS patter on about being exposed to LESS radiation than your fucking CELL PHONE (and really, do ANY of you masturbation freaks actually ever get out of your mom's basement?), the WINNERS are dealing with actual real issues involving warlocks and tiger blood. I get zapped at the airport maybe 8 times a year. The amount of alcohol and cocaine I take will kill me first, and I plan on NEVER DIEING.
I understand the nature of the event is to demonstrate the issues of security and code vulnerability, but sitting on exploits is surely counterproductive here?
You don't understand the mind-set of hackers, do you....
Slashdot Mirror
Not to put too fine a point on it, but unless you're a constituent of the government in question, what the fuck do you care?
Because it involved bribing Indian MPs in order to secure their votes for a controversial nuclear deal between India and - wait for this! - the US ?
The guy missed out - he could have made a fortune by charging a couple of bucks for it.
Even .99 cents would have been more profitable.
Please stop with the FUD.
...a Class Action.

So like totally impress us with a follow up post on what all those mean.
So like totally impress us with your leet skilz at using the Google / Wikipedia thingy...
Messing with peoples' lives has never been easier.
Fortunately, assholes like you are a minority.

"Troll"? You've got to be kidding me. Which ever lame slacker Slashdotter with mod points that modded me "troll" CLEARLY does not fly.
Just sad.

Just because that female TSA agent thinks you're fugly doesn't mean she didn't grope MY balls!
Yeah, OK, you keep thinkin' that, you stud... Sure... Your fat belly, goatee, and Cheeto breath and all. Go back ti your MILF porn.
Yet another Autonomous COWARD.
I'd rather be left masturbating the have to put up with you.
Posting as an AC, you clearly have no balls anyway.
Where you have to get your balls groped to be able to travel.
I travel quite a bit. I've been patted down a few times. But never have I had my balls groped.
Please stop spouting bullshit that you clearly have no experience with.

deceptive advertising, DESPITE they have advertised that they were not doing deceptive advertising.
They advertised unlimited internet, and they are delivering unlimited internet.
Remember, "throttling" is *not* the same as "capping".
Almost certainly they do not advertise "unlimited" internet at specific speeds but rather the possibility of "up to" some speed.
The key here is to *know* what you are buying, and not make *assumptions*.
You're a fucking GAY ASSHOLE. Did you know that? Tell me something, how do you like boning your mother? Is her pussy still moist?
I understand the nature of the event is to demonstrate the issues of security and code vulnerability, but sitting on exploits is surely counterproductive here?
You don't understand the mind-set of hackers, do you....
Neither of those gentleman actually hold a public office. Keep that in mind.
I'm sorry, Mike and Mitt don't hold office? You must be a Mormon or Scientologist, clearly you don't live on THIS planet.
