I noticed the same, and it's not the first time it happened to one of my posts. My guess is one of the mods thinks it's "not tech enough" and bumps it down, but who knows?

Hi tamana, Author of the article and lawsuit here. Anything in particular you'd like to challenge? The thing is, I can put up a guide, but all of this takes a ton of work (and money). It's not possible to make a lawsuit tutori

We generally call that cheating, not hacking, but whatever.

Will work for fedgov once fedgov stops using tech to violate the people. Until then, GFYS.

How is it unintelligent to point out that downloading a few apps from a (formerly) reputable source of free apps results in your computer being basically unusable? What the article showed shouldn't happen, and it did despite download.

There was no need to be threatening in manner that they were, and, as far as I understand, the threats are non-actionable (that is, Twitter can't be held liable in the manner they are suggesting).

No. Just no. Please don't take the comment above as valid legal advice.

Collection agencies are incredibly easy to sue. Unlike the story says, there is a lot of regulation, but it's up to you to enforce it. If you can find a rule that they're not following (and they never follow all the rules, way

Not quite, actually. The elements of tortious interference vary by state but are roughly: 1) The existence of a contractual relationship or beneficial business relationship between two parties. 2) Knowledge of that relationship by a third

In fairness, they did do such a good job of giving the airport that prison-like feel...

The TSA has never admitted error in their numbers. On the contrary, they have guaranteed the public that they will get less than 10µrem/screening.

They're actually prohibited from wearing dosimeters... imagine that...

The article has a reply to you built-in :) "While these scientists still conclude that this is a low dose of radiation, it shows that, if correct, we were lied to, again, and anyone who walked through those scanners was given nearly 50

Opting out is the easiest way to protest these machines. Just tell the person running the machine, "I opt out!" before entering it, and they will pat you down instead of using the scanners. Considering the false-positive rate of

On the plus side, I get a lot of hits from people looking for porn who instead get news. :) [Edit -- Comment above, now deleted, suggested that using "nude" in the title will result in fewer hits because of Web filters.]

They get paid $0.10 for each "page view" (and a "page view" is an estimate of how many 8.5"x11" paper pages would have been required to show the content) and they still can't be fucked to keep the archiv

Jon Corbett here. Thanks for conducting this study. For some, watching a video of me beating the scanners isn't enough to prove it, but it becomes harder to ignore when a scientific study confirms it. It's also nice to see conf

Not everyone in federal prison is a rapist/killer. Half are there on drug offenses.

> Let's get real, the vast majority of Tor traffic is, shall we say, for nefarious purposes. Citation needed. Plenty of people use Tor to avoid government censorship (think China), to keep their information free from government spy

If that were really "all you were saying" the comment thread wouldn't be so deep. But earlier you said, "that's enough to make someone culpable," implying not that a prosecutor would test it, but that someone

Agreed. Prosecutors sometimes end up on a very high horse, unable to see the reality of the situation.
