Not to be confused with FLCL (Gainax going insane).
I say this as an admitted partisan, but I see Republicans say and do a lot of pretty awful things. They range from the stupid, which is what this tactic is, to the downright deranged, as when Michelle Bachmann said that…
It is amazing what vision, a few hundred million dollars, and Chinese serf labor can do.
I can't speak for everyone, but when the US gov or the MPAA DDOS's a website they disagree with, I'm not angry because what they are doing is illegal, I'm angry about the hypocrisy in declaring something to be both…
I've read it several times and gave it a few minutes, and I've got nothing.
I think the most compelling argument made in this article is that a law that by it's nature is only going to do what it's supposed to if applied selectively is a bad law. The manga image posted in the article looks more…
It is a net gain if you count the 800,000 jobs lost during his first month in office.
Hey, I realize this doesn't add much, but I'd like to thank everyone in this thread. I"m new here, but this is why I come to HN, people are disagreeing by citing sources and not yelling or being particularly acrimonious.
Yes, it happens fairly regularly. The concept of 'sexting' nude pictures of each other has become fairly ubiquitous in many places, and it happens semi regularly that a jilted ex will report to police about the…
Not really, a plea bargain resulting in any punishment at all counts as a conviction for the prosecutor. A case like CP or cocaine possession which are in most jurisdictions basically straight liability crimes are very…
Gotta love the irony in being charged as an adult for making child pornography of yourself.
And I'm a member of the tautology club because I'm a member of the tautology club.
If I find myself in possession of a cocaine brick that I did not ask for, I will indeed worry. The point that the article made (as a tangent, admittedly) in regards to cocaine possession is that, should that situation…
I would say that it shows evidence of the increasingly common trend of police officers frequently greeting citizens going about lawful activities with violence.
That's amazing. I've got the same combination on my luggage.
I'd be much happier if it only kept records locally, or had the option. As creepy as... every social network has gotten, I want my privacy and anonymity back. As interesting, and potentially useful as this seems, I…
And that the penalty for defaulting is even more money owed. Pay the loans, pay interest for most of your life on an education that frequently doesn't pay commensurately to a job in the field, assuming you can get one.…
Have a spam filter that directs them to only be able to talk to other threatening/harassing users and let the problem solve itself?
That sounds like a good plan, I'll check back then. I had a facebook back in high school, but got creeped out by some of their privacy issues and deleted it, this sounds like kind of a neat idea, though.
Several friends of mine prefer to pay for their VPNs anonymously, they get two VPNs, pay with bitcoin, don't give their name to the VPNs, and tunnel one into the other for pretty much complete anonymity online, provided…
I'll agree with you on that, but I think a good point was raised. As an inherently deflationary currency, particularly once the maximum number of bitcoins are created, wouldn't the natural thing for people believe it…
It's been attempted before, but that kind of thing is really hard to legislate effectively. At what point is something tangentially related? True, gun control and abortion bills should probably be kept separate, but…
Probably they're listening to the online campaign against the bill. Hundreds of thousands (millions?) have been writing in petitions urging their congresspersons to vote against it. It does seem weird to be agreeing…
Hacker sounds like kind of an idiot. I really liked the point made that being able to analyze "The Old Man and the Sea" doesn't come up very often in day to day life, but is still a good thing to be exposed to.…
Precisely, especially with Anonymous' doings lately I've heard several senators express a desire to outlaw TOR in the US, ironic since we were so in favor of it's use in Egypt, and since we developed it for use by…
