We not only have the addresses etc. of the police and city hall but the alleged miscreant's address and an aerial view of his house. And they think telling folks to press F5 is a felony?
Logically, this one article has occasioned an informal DoS attack on a school and police station as well as a mass invasion of privacy (using public sources, of course) that is far beyond the alleged felony.
Legally, we didn't do anything wrong. I sent a few dozen F5's to the site even though it's down but that isn't the crime so I'm clear. Telling someone to do it was the crime. Yes?
Not as uplifting as the million dollar pixel site but not bad for starting off 2006.
In the "small world" category, I just finished a commentary on this article http://btsawyer.com/btblog/?p=33 in my blog.
I'm inclined to go with "Internet lazy" but I think we first have to remove entertainment from the information category. We also have to remove a lot of other things like ads from Web pages in order to get to the information underneath. I don't mean physically remove since I like having someone pay to keep CNN.com online.
Strip away the ads and popups and self-promotion and you see how much information you actually get on say, netscape.com. So-called news shows on TV divide the screen into so many segments you can hardly grok everything in one glance. Flashing bulletins "War on Christmas enters 2005th year" are no more than a distraction, IMHO.

Don't you need some kind of proof of age before you implant a cookie? What about the children visiting these sites?
Betcha if you sent this to Pat Robertson he'd get God after them.
