Dudes. This is not at all helpful. Website defacements just create more of an excuse for a crackdown. If you're going to risk your life and freedom hacking things; make it worth your goddam time. Hack the prison industrial complex and get t

Not necessarily, you could end up with a sort of Walmart Feudalism, where basic material goods and essential services are low-priced enough that you can afford them on the little that is accorded to you from the generosity of the aristocrac

By definition clinical trials do not happen in a void, there is already a system of Institutional Review Boards and controls to prevent abuse of patients and to prevent experimentation without informed consent. This would be an extension of

This may be a small nit, especially since this is specifically a public test facility. But you might want to restrict the guest roles to only access their own database public schema. I can't see other's query activity, but I can see some of

Yes. We all wish that Aaron had not reached that conclusion. We don't know what he was thinking at that moment, and whether anyone could have said something to change his mind. My personal view is that suicidal impulses are similar to septi

umm. That may have been true in the latter half of the '90s and the first half of the 'noughties but it is certainly not true today. Most universities have an extensive copyright policing function in their network operations center, designe

It may be unfair to single out Ms. Ortiz, she is after all only one of many federal prosecutors; but reforming the american justice system is an urgent priority, and we must start somewhere. A society where justice is widely perceived to be

Because Windows 8 is kind of a hot mess? If they could jettison all of the holdovers from Windows XP and replace things like the file browser and command console with "Metro Native" apps, it would still be pretty to look at, but painful to

Just keep telling yourself that politics is a branch of biology, not of physics. It's messy, unclear, somewhat random and does not operate by simply observable rational rules.

She's a political appointee who chose to pursue a full-court press on something that should never have been a federal case, in the first place. She's now politically damaged, and a liability to the Obama administration that appointed her. S

The intent of the petition was to put the idea that her behavior was questionable into the Presidents head. Most likely she's working with her crisis PR team to figure out how to get in front of the issue. Which would involve a complete hou

This just means that petition drives will need to be more organized and focused. I think the Carmen Ortiz petition was somewhat of a fluke. You aren't going to find that confluence of anger, focus, and clarity of target very often. And we h

By coincidence, I've been collecting just such a data set since Saturday afternoon. I suspect that in the case of the petition I'm interested in, the fact that it had almost no "earned media" before crossing the threshold is why the signing
