From the second article, emphasis mine:

"The hackers (@DomainerAnon) â" believed to be associated with hacktivist group Anonymous..."

Has a confirmed Anon source stated that it was an Anon op? A splinter group like LulzSec? An agent provocateur?

This reeks of a frame. It's out of character.

For a sample size of one, any theory is demonstrably true. When did you last statistics?

I also haven't learned to preview my posts for closing tags. God damn it.

"I've got some advice for you, little buddy. Before you point your finger, you should know that I'm the man. If I'm the man, then you're the man, and he's the man aswell, so you can point your fucking finger up your ass."

I was going to do "... the government it deserves." quote, but I don't know who it was.

SHIT. It was a broken line break tag.

"All natural, no dyes. That's a good business - all-natural children's toys. Those toy companies, they don't arbitrarily mark up their frogs. They don't lie about how much they spend on research and development. And the worst that a toy company can be accused of is making a really boring frog. Gribbit, gribbit, gribbit. You know another really good business? Teeny tiny baby coffins. You can get them in frog green, fire engine red. Really. The antibodies in yummy mummy only protect the kid for six months, which is why these companies think they can gouge you. They think that you'll spend whatever they ask to keep your kid alive. Want to change things? Prove them wrong. A few hundred parents like you decide they'd rather let their kid die then cough up 40 bucks for a vaccination, believe me, prices will drop *really* fast. Gribbit, gribbit, gribbit, gribbit, gribbit."

Ho ho! I smell a lucrative reoccurring contract here!

"Not had your Whooping Cough jab this year? INSURANCE PREMIUM UP 2000%. Yes, I know the price of the vaccine increases 20% per year, and we have a significant stake in the company... What's your point?"

Came here to post this.

Over to a competitor for some actual news.

Knowing that gets you on this list. Be sure to report your neighbours before they report you!

"The site provides examples of red flags to watch for, such as people with an unusual interest in building plans or who are purchasing materials useful in bomb making."

So, you report your neighbour for purchasing chemicals X and Y from the gardening store because they can be used to make IEDs, and are yourself flagged because you know that chemicals X and Y can be used to make IEDs.

Dear America,

Please add me to your No Fly lists so I never, even accidentally, come anywhere near your Orwellian country again.

That isn't room for another car, that's a safe following distance. People who can't tell the difference are the reason why we're having this off-topic discussion.

Cars may have improved in the past 30 years, but drivers certainly haven't. In fact, they've compensated for the improvements in vehicle safety by driving like twats.

You've made the incorrect assumption that the person who has passed doesn't speed up to their original driving speed once they have reached their safe following distance.

Once I'm approx 2 seconds behind the car in front, I accelerate to match their speed. If another motorist pulls into that space, I make my change again. I never brake, as with good observation and planning that's unnecessary outside of an emergency or stationary traffic. I watch both the road as far as I can see for upcoming traffic issues, and the brakes of the car in front of the car in front of me so I can anticipate the car in front braking (like a moron) and slow down without braking to accommodate it, reducing the magnified ripple effect of many cars braking in a row.

In short, you wrong and willfully ignorant of how to drive properly. I bet you're one of the guys who pulls into a safe following distance spot and causes these issues in the first place.

If being fined by automated traffic monitoring systems is such a big deal for you, maybe you should consider changing how you drive.

On my way to work I've driven past at least four speed cameras, and two locations for temporary Police speed monitoring, and through an intersection with a red light camera for the past five years, and not once have I received a ticket. I've seen the cameras fire, so I know they work.

Granted this is totally anecdotal, and I know nothing of how things are where you are, but it seems that the only thing these places have in common is it's you driving through them.

Boom. I just hope they have offices in Germany too, because those guys are happy to throw their weight around when it comes to consumer data protection.
