And she's just as misguided for blaming the platform. It seems to me like the real person she should be suing here is the person who (presumably illegally) stole or leaked the photos in the first place. Anything else is just grandstanding, and she must know it (unless you're presuming that she's so profoundly stupid that she just can't understand how the technology works).

Something tells me that the West won't exactly be thrilled with the idea of giving nuclear technology to every two-bit dictator and unstable, terrorist-haven, shithole country in the world--even if they pinky-promise never to upgrade their centrifuges to produce weapons-grade material.

I can't wait for the confusion when the judge orders that Tor be executed.

I wonder if anyone in the architecture profession has ever proclaimed "Well if you really want to change the world, empower regular people to build skyscrapers." Probably not. And yet the programming profession seems to be constantly obsessed with making the field accessible to everybody and her sister, as if programming should be something any idiot off the street can do easily.

Don't forget the F-35!

Yeah, I could use one of those too.

I always feared Big Brother's spy camera would come to my house.

What I never even *dreamed* is that not only would we accept it when it came, but that we would voluntarily pay $500 for it and even hook it up to our cable box and home network so it could monitor that too.

Duh, he was that announcer on Saturday Night Live.

And he worked at Blizzard too??

You're right that the Superman aspect of his memorial is indeed trivial. It's so trivial that DC (or any company in their right mind) would have simple approved it with a rubber stamp and maybe (at most) issued a simple statement about how tragic his death was.

It was only by denying such a simple and trivial request that DC's *FUCKING CLUELESS* legal/public relations people turned this into a story, not about a kid's tragic death, but about a company so callous and clueless that it would deny something so simple and decent that wouldn't have even cost them a dime--just out of reflex, it seems. What could have been a simple story about DC letting the Superman symbol be used for a small memorial for a child who died tragically has once again turned into a story about the clueless leadership at DC and raised more questions about the culture-of-clueless-fuckup that seems to so thoroughly pervade that company and every decision they make.

Of course, it also doesn't help that Superman is a classic symbol of human decency--a symbol that DC has sullied yet again with greed and callousness.

Maybe at some point after they're all finally out companies, agencies, colleges, etc. will finally realize that using SSN's as their unique identifiers of choice is dangerous.

Or continue to collect that princely sum of $20,000/year that DC agreed to pay them after the lawsuit forced them to.

Welcome, visitor from Krypton. One of the first pieces of knowledge that you will need to be introduced to on this planet is this tidbit: Nerds like comic books. And now that we've covered that, we move on to the fascinating world of nerds and their love of Star Trek....

They must have the same guy in charge of their PR that they have in charge of their movie division.

Not to mention that Uber drivers probably aren't paying as much as $1 million for a single taxicab license.
