Is there any source for this aside from random Twitter posts? I generally trust ZeroPaid, but come on - this entire story is built on the basis of a few Tweets.

The venue always asserts promotional use over patrons' likenesses. It was almost certainly amongst the fine print on the back of the ticket.
The camera that caught the action was actually installed inside the rack, by MayFirst. You can see the FBI agent looking at it several times, so it apparently wasn't as surreptitious as MayFirst had hoped.
How the hell do you keep something like moving POTUS a secret? The convoy and Airforce One aren't exactly subtle.
You don't use the motorcade (or you send it off in another direction as a decoy, although that wasn't done in this case). You do the transport with a couple of heavily armored but nondescript looking vehicles that exit half a mile away through a tunnel to a "civilian" parking garage. You tell your carefully selected members of the press corps that the Vice President will be traveling to some flyover state to make another "big stick" stumping speech, no big deal, nothing to get excited about.
Air Force One is a different story, but those are being repositioned all the time without anyone important in the cabin. As long as there aren't 15 huge black SUVs with lightbars pulled up next to it on the ramp, nobody's really going to pay attention to its comings and goings.
Who would you believe to be violating some form of neutrality, if you were watching a hulu/youtube/redtube;) clip and it was blocked to you by the content owner because they didn't like your choice of ISP?
You mean like ESPN360?
The latest OpenSSL has problems connecting to facebook.com and paypal.com
Sounds like a feature, not a bug.
That's why
Heh...
* If you are fired, you're eligible for public assistance in the form of unemployment insurance, but if you quit, you are not.
Close. If you're laid off (e.g. downsizing), you're eligible for unemployment. If you're fired, you're not.
You know, I wonder if the antivirus suites of the future will be able to see stuff like this being written. Like "oh no, he is using emacs/vi and writing a php injection script - perhaps this is something we should look into specifically"
I can't imagine that someone with enough technical ability to create the "mystery" Duqu code isn't already doing their development in a sandboxed VM with no AV apps installed. I doubt it's worth the time on the AV companies' part to attempt to detect the act of malware actually being written.
$6.6 billion in hundred dollar bills literally "fell off a plane" and disappeared in Iraq; and that's something they'll actually admit to. Five trillion dollars is probably a bit much, but really, who knows how many billions have been pumped into the black hole of "anti-terror" technologies?
Sure, Flickr needed to remove the image
Is that actually true? From various YouTube DMCA stories, it seems like YouTube just hides the video content and renders an error message when you try to view it. If the takedown is reversed, they re-instate the video at its original URL; the uploader doesn't have to upload it again. Surely Flickr could implement a "hidden" flag as opposed to deleting an image outright?
FAR Part 91.119
Authored by the same FAA that's refusing to release information about the operation of drones. FARs are for the little guys.
When they're scared, they pass horrible acts of legislation that do nothing productive, but ruin the lives of millions. Do you want them to do that to your cell phones?
Absolutely. Joe Sixpack doesn't know what the fuck SOPA is, and couldn't care less how his representatives are voting on it, or who's supporting it. He's never heard of RIAA or MPAA and his idea of a torrent is when the water main bursts down the street. But he has a cell phone, and he's not going to be happy if the government wants to dick around with it.
When stupid laws start interfering with everyone, instead of a few percent of the population, maybe more folks will wake up.
Too bad they didn't demonstrate it at the US Congress instead, I'd love to hear some intercepted conversations between a few Senators and their puppet-masters.
If the deleted content is still there a week or more later, then you've got problems.
We're talking about Facebook here. The content is never deleted, and that's by design.
Work without a vision is slavery, Vision without work is a pipe dream, But vision with work is the hope of the world.
