Whatever you do, don't tell Al Gore about this! He will totally freak out if he learns that the sun is a bigger culprit in the warming of the Earth the than his home electricity bill. I'm super serial!
Why do we have to create mutant mosquitos when we can use good old DDT? All we have to do is get rich, white people to get off their high horses at cocktail parties so the rest of the world can be saved from this horrible disease. Too many people have died from malaria because of Silent Spring.
Surely the ability for people to address the public anonymously is beneficial and should be protected. e.g. Anonymous whistle-blowers.
So we are going to create a protected class of citizens that can infringe on the first amendment rights of others? Who gets to decide who can maintain a protected state of anonymity? This is bad policy. Sunshine is always the best environment for speech.
Does that include journalistic sources? If someone were to follow up on Woodward and Bernstein and expose "Deep Throat", would that be fine by you? After all, he had his secret agenda as well... (Anger at not being promoted to be head of FBI after Hoover left).
Damn skippy it would! The country spent nearly 35 years trying to figure that Deep Throat was William Mark Felt, Sr. Every journalist interested in Washington politics wasn on the hunt for the identity of the real Deep Throat. Journalists that keep secrets from the public are betraying their audience. Sometimes the audience puts up with it like in the case of Deep Throat.
Absolutely. Journalism should not be the art of protecting secrets. The first amendment right to a free press does not have a caveat that states that people with hidden agendas are protected from exposure. As long as this is not a government mandated revelation of secrecy of a citizen, there is no issue at hand. The press has a right and I feel a duty to expose all that want to be a part of the public debate both for and against what I personally believe. The only reason the editor feels that this was a bad choice is that he doesn't have the requisite reproductive organs to stand up for what they did which was good reporting. There is no right to anonymity when to start to engage in the public debate. If you can maintain it, that is through your own efforts and not through some Constitutional mechanism.
Nothing beats trying to run Windows XP on the first OQO. 256Mb of RAM on a Transmeta Caruso chip. Clicking the START button can take up to a minute to get a response from the system and it sounds like a mini jet engine when the internal fan kicks on from the heat generated by the processing power it requires display the Start Menu.
Influential? Maybe to clueless reporters in desperate need to fill airtime or page space. Second Life has maybe 650,000 real people logging in and tuning out of First Life. I can't think of one concept, product, idea or candidate the Second Life community has successfully promoted to myself, friends or coworkers (a fairly "wired" bunch). If internet savvy Edwards supporters want to assist his campaign, maybe they suggest that John paint a giant campaign sign on his 28,200 sq foot new home on 102 acres in North Carolina so it can be photographed for Google Earth. I am sure one of the two Americas will appreciate that...
Then he can turn in Acunetix for a cash reward. We finally know what #2 is!
1. Taunt Acunetix with 1,000 dollars cash to hack into web sites
2. Turn Acunetix into the authorities when they provide proof of their hacking
3. Profit!
Every corporation has a responsibility to protect its employees. This is all about mitigating risk and lowering their liability. Removing the video had nothing to do with limiting the speech of Nick Gisburne.
The parody site operator of getafirstlife.com should reject this letter immediately. How many companies in the future will start referring to this action as a basis to stop "fair use"? i.e., "Hey, we didn't provide you with a proceed-and-permit letter. It's now time for some of that sweet, sweet DMCA action until you capitulate!" The appropriate response should be, "FU and the virtual horse you rode in on" to Linden Labs in regards to this letter -- especially the final sentence This license may be modified, addended, or revoked at any time by Linden Lab in its sole discretion.
Come on folks, now that White Collar Crime, Terrorism, Murder and Political Corruption have been virtually eliminated from America, what do you expect Prosecutors to spend their time on?
This report comes out just as a Denzel Washington flick of the same name is hitting theaters. Science and marketing, two great tastes that go great together.
Now might be a good time to delete any copies of the Anarchist's Cookbook you once read for amusement and still have floating around on your hard drive.
Especially if you are plotting with terrorists to blow up civilian airliners. Why is this a right's story? Am I supposed to have the right to plot and conspire to kill innocent human beings because of my belief in a omnipresent invisible guy that lives in the clouds and the devotion to his previous prophet on Earth that liked to marry 9 year old girls?
Nothing will get done. Bush still has the VETO stamp. Its been sitting in his desk draw barely used for the last 6 years. I am sure it is going to get a major workout in the next two. This is not a bad thing, government is best when it does least.

Just change the description of the vehicle from a spaceship to a ballistic missile and its a successful launch.

RATS!

Oh man, do you know how many puppies will be blended because of this article's title! Don't feed the monster!
I have a better sense of humor than this feeble attempt at attracting attention.
Not a very funny one. If I want lawyer jokes, I will look elsewhere...

I didn't see one rootkit detector reviewed by InformationWeek that would work on my PCs, a Macbook and an iMac. Any suggestions?

Please don't read the Best/Worst of 1995 of Internet World. Now that was embarrassing...

We are supposed to be hit by Asteroid MN4 between 2035 & 2037 and it is all George Bush's fault!!!

Any idea if the stock market will rally or tank on the news that the Democrats have taken over Congress?
Is that how goatse got that way?
