What the fuck makes you think you have any right to "undermine his decision"?
As a citizen I have an obligation to call attention to poor legal decisions, and my suggestion for a NPOV Wikipedia entry linking to a citation was a call for moderation over rash action. And you should know that judges cannot be voted out, and can be cited outside of jurisdiction, so I have as much standing and interest as anyone else, and I did at least read the entire decision. Did you? While I am not an appeals judge (and pretty sure you arent either) I think there is a reasonable argument that there was a judicial error in the application of the term 'hacker', in that the court applied the term arbitrarily to motive; rather, in terms of motive all that mattered is how the defendant applied the term to himself, and the decision does not take that into consideration.
Perhaps someone could update the page to include a "Controversies" section that referenced TFA? Properly written NPOV would do more to undermine his decision than posting to random tin-foil-hat sites.
Oh dear gods no!!!! Could you IMAGINE the piece of crap constitution that would be written these days?? By committees and lobbyists and lawyers (oh my)??
There are 4 pages and 4543 words in the original, unamended Constitution including the signatures. It is the oldest and shortest written Constitution of any major government in the world. Compare that to 960 pages for the ACA, about 1300 for a typical Bible, and a whopping 73954 pages for the tax code. I shudder to think what a New and Improved constitution would look like.

Yes but bitching about it *is* doing something, and if enough bitch about it it may yet have an effect, and even if it doesnt its an improvement from being blissfully ignorant. I prefer the bitching.
I think the point of the Onion joke was that people scream about the government getting their hands on personal data when they gladly hand it over to Facebook. Same thing for fingerprints and Apple. Not making a value judgement for or against, just noting the irony and hypocrisy.
The "rather be stabbed by a meth head than have to use itunes again" is some funny stuff though!
Since the CIA's invention of Facebook saved the government millions of dollars in monitoring costs, it makes sense to collect fingerprints the same way. And coming soon, the Facebook "Share A DNA Sample" feature.
Goldman Sachs is behind carbon trading - Article Here. Billions to be made trading a trillion dollars of carbon credits with Goldman setting themselves up to be the broker. Millions and millions in lobbying and campaign contributions. Gore is a tool, but Goldman is truly evil.
Actually the car forums are filled with people that have made perfectly functional parts with PLA. And the things Ive printed are a lot sturdier than I would have thought. The low melting point is more of an issue. Id like to make some specialty parts for the engine compartment for my old Triumph but wont work with the heat. Still, its easy enough to prototype form/fit/function and then send it off to shapeways or imaterialize and get it back in abs/resin/aluminum/steel/ceramic. There are lots of little fiddly bits you cant get for classic cars, so a way to easily scan and reproduce would be immensely helpful.

Someone find out where this judge is; let's put his name here
B. Lynn Winmill
Chief Judge
United States District Court
Is it me or is that utterly brilliant? Or dangerously foolish, or both? The anarchists aren't always wrong.
So the question is what to do about that?
Why not give everybody mod points?
Is it really practical to find and track these objects?
If you're applying for a research grant with a modest staff and tidy stipend? Then yes, absolutely!

It is not however flexible.
I thought of that. When I invent it in the future I shall remember to invent it with flexiblenessivity.
Watson? Jeopardy?
Jeopardy, as in "I'll try 'Silly Unsubstantiated Conjectures' for $400"
Name one flexible material that is transparent and as hard as glass?
Transparent aluminum? Its even possible that I invented it.
I thought the first rule of I2P is "dont talk about I2P"?
Yes. They shut down the government. And no matter how it turns out it will probably be a valuable lesson to someone.
most Americans are unwilling to have sex with a robot
You're joking, right?
Nope, as long as the NSA turns its surveillance equipment over to Russia there is no need for Tomahawks.

Google has always stated that they would support a totalitarian government
I think Google would prefer to be the totalitarian government, but support it? Not so much.

Unless it was an "iXerox" then Xerox would be sued. Damned powerful letter, that 'i' is.
