Ironically that wouldn't penalise them - they're not maneuvering sharply or breaking speed limits so it wouldn't be logged...

My old employer - one of the biggest insurance firms in the UK - has been running stuff like this for years. A little app on your smartphone that analyses your driving style for minor infractions and squeals back to the company so they can produce evidence for why your premiums have shot up...
And of course to get it working they tested it on... the call center staff. Seriously, any call center staff who had company insurance had to agree to this sh1t being installed on their mobiles to qualify for the staff discount during its testing phase. And the claims of anonymisation of data for the testing were proven to be BS the day the leaderboards of "Who's the safest drivers in XXX team" started going up to shame staff members who weren't good little boys and girls.

Who needs a million monkeys when you have automated scripts...?

Well, I always wondered what would be the straw that broke 4chan's back - now we know.
4chan is as good as dead, just like Alt.Tasteless before it. Time for the hordes of trolls, sickos, wannabes and script kiddies to find another pit to infest. Wonder where it'll be?
So long 4chan. It's been fun but in time, all things pass.

Look up the DDT concentration pyramid - it doesn't take large doses in the creatures in the lower stages of the pyramid to build up to toxic levels in the apex predators - which would be us in this case.

Well, if the police have nothing to hide they have nothing to fear...

The identity of 3000 people who have been proven they are prepared to break the law? Or maybe the police reports on the true connection/affiliation of said people? Can't possibly see how that information could of be any use to organised crime...

AFAIK Brazil was actually written partially based on Gilliam's dealings with the Civil Service. And MoJ is STILL using XP - they paid M$ £5m for the privilage of getting to use it for another year...

"We're not in charge, but we want you to behave as if we were cos' we might well be someday."
The sheer brass balls of his arrogance astounds me.

And here I was thinking it was Don't Copy My Ass...

Difference to previous lawsuits is that here they're going after the American Auto Industry - one of America's sacred cows. Expect to see these shysters going home with million-dollar legal fees and their asses handed back to them on silver platters.

IIRC Williams went on to sink as much of TSR's money as possible into buying up the rights for the Buck Rogers RPG ... which flopped and sunk without a trace, crippling TSR's finances. Rather than invest in it to turn its declining fortunes around as she was supposed to she effectively asset stripped it - her family owned the Buck Rogers franchise rights...
All in all a classic carpetbagger move by Williams that everyone except Gygax fell for.

"Here's a free ice lolly. What's that, you found that I froze a turd inside it? Well you got it for free so you have no right to complain..."
Nice logic, man.

"Green light, go. Red light, stop. Green light, stop. Red light, GO!"
