We apologize for the fault in the Dice Holdings content standards. Those responsible have been sacked

Sex is a perfectly ok subject at all times.

Then why do I get glared at whenever I start talking about it at a PTA meeting? /doesn't actually do that

Airstrip One

Your Sig: "MIT betrayed all of its basic principles."

You can't betray your basic principles. What MIT have done is revealed that they have been lying about what their basic principles are.

Apparently, UserStyles is facilitating massive copyright infringement.

It will get out of hand, and we'll be lucky to live through it.

For further context, they were making a repetitive joke

No, actually they took the bins out after the IRA bombings during the troubles, because the IRA did use bins to hide them

Clearly, no ISP in the history of the world has ever had a technical support phone number.

Aah. Every story i've read (and I haven't paid that much attention to this beyond making sure I wasn't infected), has oversimplified it to "The FBI took over the running of the DNS servers".

I stand corrected on that point, my apologies.

I entirely stand by the "they should just have let the infectees internet access die so they're forced to fix their problems and learn about the importance of security" part of my comment though :)

... the victims would have noticed that their internet was cut off, and had to take steps to fix the problem then and there.

But presumably somebody at the FBI realised that they could collect all that lovely data on where everybody was going on the internet, and all without the need for a single warrant

While also managing not to commit any of the classical faux pas which are typical of most salespeople (such as promising the customer something which is entirely impossible to produce)

It wouldn't surprise me to discover that Tor had been broken by the NSA, but they're not going to reveal that they've managed to do that just to convict a few people of possession/supply of controlled substances.

Suspended?

The common law definition of kidnapping includes 4 elements:

(1) the taking or carrying away of one person by another;
(2) by force or fraud;
(3) without the consent of the person so taken or carried away;
(4) without lawful excuse.

An officer cannot possibly have probable cause to believe somebody has committed a crime if the action in question is not illegal, therefore the officer has no lawful excuse. Courts have also previously held that the threat of force is sufficient to satisfy (2)

He shouldn't have been suspended, he should have been charged with kidnapping.

Yes, if the community are actively shielding these people from prosecution, they share in the responsibility. Why is that so hard to understand?
