Exactly. Even if you don't like Hogan or Thiel, the funding of legitimate lawsuits is hardly unethical.
If he was bombing them with nuisance suits for death by a thousand cuts it would be different.
But Gawker was in the wrong. Allowing those who have grievances with them to proceed freely does absolutely nothing to limit "freedom of the press".

And you read the Slashdot comments with no moderation?

The same people that will get up in arms about their "freedom of speech" to show up and call someone faggot/nigger/etc will also get up in arms about other people's freedom to ignore them.

If you show up at someone's house and shit on their rug, they're not infringing on your freedom if they start locking the door.

I had a Beaglebone Black before, but the Pi3 is my first Pi and I love it. Makes a great server for Octoprint, and will likely monitor my terrarium environment shortly :)

I have nothing on my computer that I'd need to hide. Well, I'm sure that there's probably some way that they would find to prosecute me or anyone else given enough personal data and the breadth of the criminal code.
And that's why warrants with scope should always be used for such searches.

But, with or without a warrant, I'm not handing over my password.

I prefer "a fraternity of douchebags" for use as a descriptor :)

A year or two ago there was a fellow that made the news for doing the same thing to phone scammers. He set up a premium number and would redirect them to that.

You can build a "budget" gaming rig these days for $550, which will play most games except the very latest at high/ultra quality settings.
And shops like NCIX will send one already built and tested to your door and save you the headache of picking it out yourself.
So for the price of a console you get a rig with the potential to upgrade a couple of parts before you get around to replacing it.

Or, you know, sensible gun legislation could be in place like in Canada, the UK, Japan, Scandanavian countries, France, etc. and mass shootings would be aberrations instead of weekly occurrences.

But hey, don't let reality get in the way of the Die Hard fantasy.

I know, I know. You're just trolling with ignorance. But here's how it works.

Atheism is just a lack of beliefs in gods. It's not a religion. Now you have have an atheist who is dogmatic about other things, usually ending in -ism. Capitalism, communism... But if you question what their theology is (theism being key) you don't get capitalism as an answer.

It's exactly the same as someone being Christian and being a right wing capitalist. Even if the two may statistically go hand in hand, when you ask that person what their theology is, you get Christian as an answer.

Words and concepts matter. You don't get to throw them out for 10 seconds so you can say something, but then expect YOUR OWN words to carry weight.

"responsibilities that come with sticking your dick in another human (or vice-versa)"

Forget the robot parenting. I want to know how you stick your human in another dick.

Between Steam, the Humble Store, and GOG, you could set your max budget for buying any game at $5 to $10 and still end up with a massive backlog that you could never keep up to. If you're not set on 0-day, then the sale is going to happen eventually.

It feels really weird getting on a new motorcycle after driving the same one for a long time too.
You go from feeling like you're part of the bike to just sitting on top of one.

Wait, this is Slashdot. Does that mean you imagined watching The Shield? :P

Would be nice if you didn't post as an AC, since chances are you only posted to be a snarky bitch and will never come back to read it.

Anyway, can't find the article amidst all the noise on drug tests -- the US is *obsessed* with drug testing if google results are an indication.
This page, however, shows the cutoff levels used in detection. The point of the original article that I read is that the private sector is using much lower cutoff levels -- as they note is an option right in the first paragraph.
