Everything in the statement you make smells like absolute B.S.

They arrested the students immediately after they pepper sprayed them, so obviously it was their intent to use "physical interference". Further more, I'm not sure why you think it is acceptable to use pepper spray to disperse a peaceful crowd in the first place. If someone is breaking the law, you arrest them. If someone resists arrest, THEN physical force would be appropriate.

You make a very important point about how video bites don't always show exactly what happend, and can often appear to support the party who was actually in the wrong. However, this does not apply to this specific case.

Many videos that show the event start well before the actual pepper spraying occurs and continue well afterwards. Additionally, the students who were sprayed were simply sitting down, not resisting arrest. The students should have just been arrested, pepper spraying was totally unneeded.

I bolded a different part for you. It isn't about who Bradley Manning thinks is an enemy, it's about who the U.S. government thinks is an enemy.

The obvious course of action to prevent future attacks against SCADA systems is to ban all children. Problem sovled.

Does that make Steve Ballmer "Master Hand"?

lol, +1 funny.

I'm actually kind of surprised he hasn't stopped by to grace us with his randomly spaced and bolded wealth of knowledge...

I'll have to find some sources, but didn't they refuse to allow the TSA employees to wear radiation exposure badges or something like that? (To determine if they were being over exposed)

They probably don't need to do any studies on if the scanners are safe or not, seems like they already know the answer.

This is great news for any paraplegic robots.

Either that or it will be implemented in ChatRoulette. *shudders*

I'm not surprised at all that ISPs are throttling internet speeds. If a cable company throttles netflix and youtube data then that increases the probability that people will get frustrated and just watch cable tv (especially the advertisements). If Verizon deprioritizes VOIP traffic to reduce call quality then that increases the probability people just go back to using P.O.T.S (which they conveniently sell). Maybe my tin foil hat is a little to tight today, but I think the only real way to prevent this kind of stuff form happening is a decentralized internet.

Yeah, anytime I start a comment out with "I didn't read the article yet, but..." I should probably realize I'm about to spout out some nonsense. /facepalm

FTFA:

I didn't read the article yet, but 1.5 million euros seems like kind of a slap on the wrist for a power company. They'll prob make that much profit just from people using their computers to read this slashdot story (ok, that's kind of a hyperbole, but you get the idea). If this was "industrial scale espionage" like the summary said, you'd think there would be more than just a "small" fine for punishment.

Do what I do, neglect the car clock.

I don't even bother to set the clock in my truck anymore, it is currently 4 hours and 23 minutes slow. I had a month where my truck broke down 3 separate times. Each time it broke down the mechanics would disconnect the battery while working on it, thus resetting the clock (and all my radio presets). I got tired of resetting everything, so on the 3rd time I said "screw it" and just left the clock as is. Of course once I did that, the truck no longer broke down (go figure), but now I get mental math practice anytime I check the time in my truck.
