Hear Wayne LaPierre as he masturbates and says the best solution is more guns inside the schools and homes? Then watch him wipe his dick off with a $1,000 bill he gets from all gun manufacturers?
One of the charges he is being slapped with is extortion. Because, according to the article, he was charging women $350 to remove the images. That is the very definition of extortion as the women had to pay to remove the images.
It is a wonder he isn't being slapped with federal charges of extortion.
The other charge is identity theft. According to the CA laws: He was posting information about these women without their explicit consent. That breaks the ID Theft law there.
That is not to say he will not be forced to turn over the information of all the idiots who posted the nudes. They may still get that info with or without his help. However, he certainly won't get a plea deal out of it if he cooperates because he is being charged with more serious, unrelated issues that the CA Anti-Revenge Porn law doesn't cover.
BAAAAWWW! We didn't think of this first! Now we aren't going to get any money from this idea! Let's blast the idea so people don't use it! Whhhaaahhh!!!
How do astronomers calculate the age of a distant planet? I can see how they'd get distance from host star (orbital period) and mass (displacement of host star) but how on earth do you work out the age?
They can't accurately predict it to a degree of 100% certainty. However they can guess based on it's radiation level and it's decay of said rad signal. They can also compare it to surrounding star systems and see if they have been influenced for an extended period of time or more recent (recent as in millions of years ago instead of billions of years).
It's not an exact science but at least it gives them a ballpark figure until they can manage to actually get to that planet and get samples. However, that may not happen in anybody's lifetime.
What is China going to do when Microsoft tells them, as politely as possible, to go fuck themselves?
Last time I checked, Microsoft was a US company and wasn't under any obligation to listen to the Chinese Government. I suppose China could say "Well, in that case, we won't sell Microsoft Windows [Insert number here]". However, considering China leads the way in copyright infringement and human rights violations, how much of a threat is that really? They could stop the sale of legit copies but that won't stop the pirated copies to be sold. To which Microsoft will create new ways to stop it. To then which means those who legitimately bought copies have to endure draconian anti-piracy things like always on DRM, etc
In the end, no matter what Microsoft does, it won't change the inevitable outcome. China gets what they want (Microsoft bending over and taking it be it from piracy or doing as asked [dare I say: Demands?]). Microsoft comes up with an excuse for imposing their will on those who play by the rules (whether by DRM or by delaying the inevitable death of XP). Meanwhile, those who play by the rules get hosed and must endure it, less they change their perspective and get Linux or Apple.
I RTA and come to find out the school played a part in this as well. Apparently the school told the cops he didn't have permission to plug in his car and agreed to press charges when asked by the cop.
Long story short: Both the school and the cops are going to be spending money on PR damage control that far exceeds any costs the EV owner could have milked out of their power grid.
If this happened to me, I'd pull my kid out of the school and either move or put him in another school.
Snapchat hasn't been telling the truth to it's user base and stores private data longer than they claim to it's user base? That they do this so in case LE comes in with a warrant, they will have the info on tap for them?
I'd love to see a Survivor: Space version. The premise is very simple: Get all these Reality TV/game show people from Survivor to the Kardashians to all of American Idol's judges and wining singers, Hell throw Justin Beiber in there for the fuck of it and put them in a space station module. Then eject them into outer space without any protection and wait 10 minutes.
The survivors win a million dollars and extra time out in the vacuum of space bare assed. Bonus prizes will be awarded if the Kardashians' and/or Beber's heads explode.
I guess you're retarded then. I feel sorry for you.
Not really. I don't have an explanation other than the JJ Abrams movie sparked my dormant interest in the Star Trek series.
Is the new movies well written, well acted, or the best in the series? Hardly. However, I have stood by the fact these movies are introducing people to the Star Trek Universe so eventually they find out on their own the new movies are crap without the fanboys scaring them off or dumping on them (like you seem to be with me). Keep in mind: Not everybody has watched the series before these movies and movies like these do spark interest to new comers despite how bad they are. It also creates a possibility of resurrecting the dormant series that has suffered since Enterprise.
If anything else, it awoke my latent interest in Star Trek so some good came out of these highly flamed, highly expensive movies. They can be crap and people can call them crap but they did serve a noble purpose.
Please ruin it like you did Star Trek. Oh sorry, that's a given.
What are you talking about? I got hooked on TNG and TOS thanks in part to JJ Abrams's rendition. This coming from a person who avoided them all before the first movie came out.
Besides, I also happen to like his show Person of Interest.
...Lodsys feels the same way the rebels felt when the Death Star was looming over the corner of the planet?
Only difference is that the Rebels didn't have the Force, R2-D2's data, and the Empire had the smarts to cover up every exhaust port and hole on the Death Star.
Problem is: I've seen parents who know exactly what the M rating means, and they totally, willfully ignore it.
More or less, if a parent tells their kids that what happens in a game is fictional and that in real life nobody respawns or comes back from the dead, then this whole "violence in the media translates into violence in real life" gets mitigated, if not fixed outright.
My question to you, AbRASiON, and I hope you do reply:
Is GTA5 anything like GTA3: San Andreas?
I ask because that game, I think and strictly my opinion, was the best game so far in the GTA series. I can't explain why but I was drawn into CJ's story, plot, and world. Ever since then, I can't get drawn in nearly like I did with SA. Even the past games and GTA4 just couldn't do what SA did.

Because I can, that's why!
By the way, should I tell your better half that you have another on the side and that those "calls from work" are you setting up your next rendezvous?
No? Then kindly shut up and go back to Obama bashing.

I plug my PS4's HDMI cable into my TV instead of plugging it into the XBox One then plugging the XBox One into my TV.
That method will be absolutely necessary because there won't be a XBox One anywhere inside my home, much less near my TV or the HDMI jacks.
