it's pretty clear that judges are getting exasperated with the trend of corporations suing thousands of individuals at once

That's not how law works. If there are 100 identical cases and the first one has a certain decision then, unless appeals are involved, the rest basically inherit the same decision by precedent. There's no point at which a judge can get tired of doing his job and change his mind on the verdict. And you could really only argue abuse of process if the plaintiff is losing every time; if they're winning then what are you even talking about?

More like a poodle yapping at the distant rural border of a sprawling empire. The seat of government is a thousand kilometers away, and the region around the dog is totally uninhabited.

When night falls it's total darkness with no artificial lights. A farmer barely hears wolves howling in the distance. In the morning the poodle is mysteriously gone. Seriously, IT is way way bigger than the movie industry. They can't shut down the entire internet for their own business interests.

Even if you don't pay your gas bill at all in many states they can't cut you off in winter. Many water utilities can't cut off your water ever.

I don't like it because it's not clear what exactly it does. If I want to remove some application I'd only use a clean uninstaller, not some generic tool that attempts to overwrite changes to certain unspecified locations.

I hope no slashdot users dedicate gigabytes to useless restore points. Not that slashdot users would ever render MHTML either though.

Me too, mine was even aimable with a little javascript control. Got a really good close up of the second tower.

Good find 2002.

Hey guys our company is failing can I convince you to work for a stake in our company

It doesn't matter if science doesn't return a profit. The Hubble telescope is an unqualified success despite its crushing cost and zero monetary return because gazing at the stars and explaining the universe around us is a human development goal that supersedes petty priorities like a transient economic recession.

Of course, there are starving mouths to feed around the world and other fundamental issues to address, not that the money is going there either..

Why would Youtube block Italy? They probably have very little interest in complying with Italian law.

Wired doesn't need to make excuses until they're legally compelled to release the information with a subpoena or a court order.

Much more expressive and dense source code.

A wall of symbols isn't preferable when you're trying to understand the algorithm that the programmer has implemented.

Net neutrality is no more a government takeover of the internet than the bill of rights is a government takeover of US citizens.

Still, I'd expect the politicians to know the definition of the thing they're forbidding.

Also did it ever occur to these people that if the web is behind net neutrality it might not be a government takeover of the internet?

I guess he's referring to this.
