Saying "that kind of post isn't appropriate here" and "you aren't funny" isn't civil? Really?

1. If you're going to show off your datacenter, at least put the embarrassing portable fans away. No need to tell the world that your cooling is insufficient. 2. Google translate, you say?

If you're looking for a place to make snarky comments and congratulate yourself on what a hilarious Internet comedian you are, go to Slashdot or Digg. That kind of pointless babble isn't supposed to be encouraged here. PS. Don't act so offe

Either you are feigning ignorance or you haven't been reading the news for a while. Politicians aren't just exercising free speech. They're exercising political influence to impose censorship, a blatant run-around of first amendment rights.

If you've been following the Wikileaks story, then you've seen the essays by Assange about what Wikileaks wants. It's very simple. A conspiracy needs communication to be effective; if you disable it's ability to communicate, it becomes less

This must be why they went to bat to defend a book about Pedophilia, specifically citing first amendment rights. Edit: Not sure why this is being voted down. If you argue that Amazon is only acting in their best interests, pointing out that

You mentioned trade secrets, contracts, and then did some hand waving about national security and state secrets. The former two are irrelevant, and the latter two don't appear to be "content rights" as defined by the law. So my question sti

Everydns explains on their website: "EveryDNS.net provided domain name system (DNS) services to the wikileaks.org domain name until 10PM EST, December 2, 2010, when such services were terminated. As with other users of the EveryDNS.net netw

Feel free to point out which rights to the content that Amazon believes Wikileaks does not have.

Amazon has lawyers, and at least some of those lawyers must be experts in the subject of copyright. It is not credible that Amazon was unaware that Government documents are not eligible for copyright. Instead, this response appears to be an

It's not business as usual, which is why it's a big deal. Comcast is trying to do something new. They used to get a cut of revenue from Netflix traffic because it was on Akamai, who pay to sit in Comcast's datacenters. Now that traffic is g

Am I to take from this that journalism is a higher calling that requires a self-less attitude and a humble ego? Because I'm pretty sure that kind of journalism has never existed. Regardless of whether Wikileaks is self-aggrandizing or not (

I'm resisting the urge to simply mock you here. What you are suggesting is technically infeasible, and does not address the issue in any manner of significance. Congratulations, you liberated a few million IPs and delayed the IPv6 migration

I'd love to hear somebody say they don't take Steve Jobs or Larry Ellison seriously because they're too "self aggrandizing". What happened to results mattering most? There are a lot of reasons to dismiss people and organizations, but how eg

Best handled by diplomats? Because us unwashed masses can't handle the truth, public debate just second-guesses those who are in charge, and we should really leave the important things to the ruling class?
