Access to the courts is something guaranteed by the Constitution (standard disclaimer about the shape THAT's in). Usually googling "File a small claims case" and your state name will get you started. Here are the steps. http

I know this is nitpicking but I did not pay for any identity insurance. I said that if I had to, it would cost this amount and offered low end and high end costs for this. The judge decided to add these numbers together as if I had paid for

I sort of feel "let a million lawsuits bloom" I think there's a usefulness in the death by 1000 cuts approach and I think there will be class action cases whether or not 100 or 1000 people decide to sue in small claims. I als

Can't recall, but maybe? We have people all over the map in terms of conservatism in a fiscal sense (some but not many Libertarians, in the US sense) but socially it's a pretty liberal place, so it depends what the overlap is betw

If it's useful, here's the MeFi post on the same article. http://www.metafilter.com/153938/No-matter-where-I-am-the-pu...

Thanks -- I feel very strongly that you can't deal with digital divide issues without dealing with people's emotional issues surrounding technology. Also, everything I learned about teaching tech I feel like I got from Phil Agre.

IronMouth I think? I don't mod there anymore and haven't in a while but I still see some of the respected conservative commenters there but fewer than in the past.

In smalltown Vermont libraries, we definitely see this as a win-win as long as there is funding for it. The big deal with hackerspaces is making sure they're accessible to everyone (sometimes tricky but a mandate of what a public libra

Don't think so. I really enjoyed my time there and I still hang out there a lot but it's pretty important to me to be doing "library things" and I couldn't do that and devote the time to modding that the job deserve

The LoC also gets to decide which things get DMCA exemptions which could be HUGE (and really a license to print money depending how they go). I'm surprised more people aren't really pushing this new appointment to go in some direc

One of the arguments that they made is that since they didn't have a coffee maker at a low enough price point last xmastime, they lost out on not only the sales but also the people who would have bought coffee because of those sales. T

Yeah I think you may be focusing on the "creative art" aspect of this and less on other use cases. My mom is a retired photographer and she loves seeing other people use or repurpose (and yes even sell) some of the pictures she ta

Yeah you can just keep the old style if you want to. It's the one I still use.

Thanks, that's really sweet, but it's been almost a decade and it's definitely time. I've got some stuff coming up (will post more about it later on so as not to take any of the attention away from mathowie's post)

I'm jessamyn the other other mod. We're lucky in that we're not angling for selling the place to some giant other site, so we can manage the community we have and not just push for growth non-stop. Matt is a great guy and has a pretty light
