53 billion dollars! Wow. I'd say he'd better put in some serious overtime if he's going to pay for that. I mean, he's not such a cock that he's gonna make someone else pay for his weekend hobby is he?

"is for naught"

Actually, i2p.net is the original one. Which is sorta the source of my wariness about the site. Perhaps I'm being too cautious.

The timothy editor added to the summary, "some of the anti-Wikipedia fervor evident among US lawmakers". I believe that should be "anti-WikiLeaks fervor".

Why the difference in domain names from i2p2.de to geti2p.net? For something like this especially, how do I know to trust the source I'm getting the code from? How do I know that either is not a phishing or honeypot site?

Yes, thank you. I was scanning the comments to this story just hoping that somebody would say that. 5 times they repeated the same thing!

It's already stolen money. I'd kind of like to have back the $80 they took last paycheck.

"Look! I'm the ass of a car! Buy laundry detergent."

This history of the United States political and legal system has been one big slippery slope.

I'm sympathetic to the cries of those who say a corporation is not an individual. But it seems like the people who say that always follow up with, "therefore we should get to screw companies any way we want". Just because a corporation is not truly an individual does not mean that they don't deserve protections under the law. And anyway, there's some extent to which trampling on corporations becomes trampling on the people who own or operate the corporations. If the CEO wants to give money to a candidate, and his or her board agrees and the company's bylaws don't prevent it, then who's to say the CEO can't do that?

I thought it was a clever, subtle jab at MS. Like, they're sots. Tiny sots.

it really appears that Google is going to be pushing into new spaces in the next few years

You could have said this at any point in Google's history. It's almost to the point that all Google stories should be marked dupe.

googlefu... Wolfram Alpha?

This "ribbon" escaped detection by two former Voyager spacecraft, and is only now being detected by some new spacecraft that happened to be looking for something different. This "ribbon" is a ribbon by some specific property.

It's amazing, to me, how what we see is influenced to a great extent by what we're looking for. The manifold possibilities the universe presents to us!
