Submission + - Defense Distributed takedown was a forgery

lazlo writes: Defense distributed was getting ready for a fight with New Jersey's Attorney General over a takedown notice sent to CloudFlare regarding DD's 3D printed gun plans.

Then things got interesting in an unexpected way. New Jersey's Attorney General office responded that they never actually sent the takedown notice to CloudFlare. Apparently, the IP address that was used to submit the takedown request was a proxy server in the Slovak republic.

So, while this doesn't provide a battleground on which Defense Distributed can fight for first amendment rights, it does point out some important flaws with requiring carriers to comply with (apparently) unauthenticated takedown requests.

iOS was the death knell for a lot of proprietary IE crap pervading the web and in the enterprise. As soon as CEOs started showing up with their shiny new toys to find the corporate web site and intranet looked like crap or would not render, heads rolled and a whole new set of web developers were hired on to replace the IE6 mess they had been maintaining for a decade.

Unless you're a very high net worth individual, you probably don't have access to the sorts of funds that charge a percentage of assets under management

That's just not true. All of the financial firms you see advertised on TV (Edward Jones for example) is marketed to middle class families and charge a % of assets under management.
