There are plenty of files that I'm legally allowed to access but you aren't.
Sure. And nobody sends DMCA takedown requests for those files.
It's a common belief, but it's not true. In exit polls, when Perot voters were asked who they would have voted for if Perot wasn't on the ballot, they were split nearly 50/50.

How? I've been on Facebook for years and haven't seen anything like that.
The only thing my friends can do is tag me in pictures, which can be easily disabled or individually untagged.
How can Facebook get personal information that you don't voluntarily share with it?
What's happening here is that Kim is making a statement for the record, which is actually a lie, and it's being amplified and rebroadcast by the masses of asses, like slashdot editors.
Of course it's a lie. Megaupload's entire business plan was based on a perceived loophole in the DMCA takedown process that didn't exist.
If two users uploaded the same file to Megaupload, they stored it on their servers once and provided different links to those two users. If a movie studio filed a DMCA takedown notice and provided one of those links, Megaupload would disable just the link mentioned and leave any other links to that file active. The DMCA says that once you're aware that a file is infringing, you have to stop distributing that file. You can disagree with the DMCA as a law and a treaty, but it does not take a lawyer to realize that Megaupload was blatantly violating it.
The thing that really got Megaupload in trouble was incentivizing piracy. They had an affiliate program that would pay people cash if the files they uploaded were downloaded a lot. Which gets more downloads, Dr. Who fan fiction or a copy of the latest X-Men movie? Management was completely aware of what was going on because they discuss it in emails. By paying people to upload pirated material, that's a conspiracy.
Keep in mind, being able to fuel up at home in an electric car means you'll save significant time not driving out of your way to get to fueling stations.
I've driven a Nissan Leaf for about a year and a half now. Never having to stop at a gas station is amazing.
I don't understand how in the world these big companies are betting huge on Hydrogen. It just makes no sense.
There is evidence that Smoot-Hawley Tariff at least made the Great Depression worse.
Something we all should have learned from Ben Stein in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Oh look, someone on Slashdot who has absolutely no knowledge of economics, but thinks they do. You hardly ever see that.
Citation?
Once you retire from public office any money you have left over becomes yours.
Who told you that? You should probably stop listening to people who are lying to you.
And, given his dislike for America
I've seen this from various nutballs like yourself and I'm curious. Why do you think he ran for President? Because he was actively trying to sabotage the country? With what motive?
Why would Obama care about lobbyist money? As of two weeks ago, he's been freed of all political consequences to any of his actions. He can finally do what he thinks is right.
If the USA had really wanted Assange, the easy way to have gotten him would have been to extradite him from the UK while he was living there freely.
Your completely obvious logic has no place here. On Slashdot, everything has to be a vast shadowy conspiracy.
This is the real answer. And more specifically, they don't trust their employees with access to thousands of dollars of cash.
Suggest you just sit there and wait till life gets easier.
