No, they're just afraid you're going to dox them and attack them online with your horde of PC lynch mobs, harass their boss at work until they're fired, then make the headlines in various news outlets about how you defended the world against oppression and bigotry of the cyginscist white males.
Wow, that's messed up. Do you really believe that? Has this ever happened to anyone on Slashdot or are you just doing drama queen theater?
It will move the stock market. By a lot. In the long term, of course, because the ruling will have an impact to the accounting provisions which are not necessarily instantly are disclosed, or, for proprietary reasons, recognized in the financial statements.
So, you believe that Apple and other companies don't realize that they're attempting to evade taxation when they engage in these Dutch-Irish sandwiches?
And no, it won't move the market by a noticeable amount, any more than a tax increase or decrease moves the stock market by a noticeable amount, except maybe on the day it's announced.
Biologists have a ways to go before they can claim craftsmanship of a face.
I'm surprised that you don't see that what we're talking about is a picture of a face, not the face itself. It's not the grumpy cat that's under IP protection, it's the image of the Grumpy Cat.
So you're saying people there are so pitiful they still haven't learned to focus on the content of a message?
I'm sorry, I can no longer see the original content because it's been moderated below my threshold. So it appears it wasn't worth wasting what little focus I have left.
ACs don't see sigs. For someone to knowingly comment on sig content they must be able to see Slashdot from the perspective of a numbered user.
So, you're saying that there are people so pitiful that they would have a Slashdot account for browsing, but comment as Anonymous Coward because they don't want to be associated with their opinions?
One of the largest Apple shareholders is Vanguard Funds, and Vanguard Funds are owned by multiple 401k and pension plans in USA. Bottom line is that not only teachers, but many in the middle class will lose a boatload of money because European Commission, directed by unelected president Junker TOLD Ireland to change treatment of Ireland's laws and to extort more money.
401k plans were never meant to provide retirement for people. They were just meant to funnel money to people who already have all the money.
The total percentage of Vanguard instruments that are owned by the middle class is probably in the 1%-2% range. And Vanguard's total Apple exposure is in the 2%-3% range (at least according to the Vanguard statements). This bill for back taxes isn't going to move the needle one bit for anyone in the "middle class".
Jennifer Youngman, a 65-year-old woman living in rural northern Virginia shot down a drone flying over her property with a single shotgun blast.
She was later quoted as saying, "And I boilt that dern thing for nearly two hours and it never did get tender none. My husband, Cousin Carl, damn near broke a tooth."
Citation required. No, neither of your links talks about armed observers, and nothing about acting "menacing".
No offense, but when you've promoted "Second Amendment solutions" to prevent a president from appointing judges, and you're promoting a civilian "Deportation Force", and you're ginning up the notion that if you lose the election, it's because it was "rigged", what the fuck do you think he's talking about? You can't be that stupid.
And you'll have to explain why asking people to keep an eye on the process is worse than the New Black Panther party
The New Black Panther party was two guys standing outside of a Philadelphia polling place. And they were not responding to a public call for a show of force by candidate Barack Obama. So, you dumb fuck, the "worse" part is that it's Donald Fucking Trump who's the one asking for thugs to stand in front of polling places.
If no local fraud could swing the results of a national election, then what all the crying about the state of Florida results when Bush was elected over Gore?
Jesus wept. It wasn't "local fraud" that caused 2000 to be seen as a crooked election. It was the fact that it was decided by the Supreme Court along partisan lines.
Small pet peeve, but your talking about the wrong kind of crazy. Alex routinely makes fun of or dismisses the alien conspiracies.
Aliens...illuminati...FEMA concentration camps. What's the fucking difference? Seriously, it's like arguing the difference between fairies and fey folks.
I don't think we want to test the extremes of what Trump supporters would believe. From all appearances, they are a rather credulous lot when it comes to their Dear Leader.
"69% of Trump voters believe that if their candidate loses, it will be because the election was rigged. A mere 16% of Trump supporters think that a Clinton victory would come about because she won more votes.
Perhaps even odder, 40% of Trump voters believe that the long-extinct ACORN will be responsible for the election fraud. ACORN has not existed since 2010. "
No one actually has to "hack" anything -- just get the thought out there. No matter who wins, stories like this will be cited by the losing side as "proof" the election was "rigged" or "hacked", and that the winner didn't win legitimately.
One side is already making this argument, and is recruiting an army of armed "observers" to stand around polling places and act menacing.
If you register to vote you also get responsibilities like jury duty and selective service.
Selective service is not tied to your voter registration in any way.
In some states, there is a connection with drivers license, and with student loans, but in no US state is there any connection between registering to vote and selective service.
Cherry picking that there might be one or two emails out there that are still missing
It's not, "one or two". Maybe you missed this part of the story:
However, an untold number of official e-mails from President George W. Bush's era will probably never be recovered because it would be extremely costly to do so, lawyers involved in lawsuits brought by the National Security Archive and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington said.

Can you give us some other examples? When you say, "operations like Arthur Anderson", I assume there were others.

I'm not saying it was aliens, but...
If voting downballot is your security blanket, then that applies both to bumbling incompetence and ruthless competence.
The story we've been discussing has nothing to do with Colin Powell.
Maybe you should read some of those links before you give an opinion, see what the whole thing was about.
No. It's hypocrisy to care about a crime only when the person you don't like committed it.
Have a little moral clarity.
It's not, "one or two". Maybe you missed this part of the story:
I'm not claiming anything. I just asked how a worker suffers if another worker gets paid the same as he does.
It was an honest question, and I was hoping for an honest answer, which I still have not gotten.
