Those "racist comments" were released in the video, which resulted in the loss of said job. Whatever he was making before, he's not making now, because of the video.

They took over a known child pornography site, and continued to operate it. They used an existing service (not set up a new one) and monitored existing users (nothing about enticing new ones). I don't see this as being hugely different from sitting outside an business known for selling drugs, and writing down the info of everybody who goes in, or tapping the lines, and recording phone numbers. Further they got a warrant to do exactly that.

Seems likely the only thing this is going to do is make a lot of people law breakers.

Either way it's going to be a bunch of crazies waving things around and talking about the end of life as we know it!

Autoduel on the Apple IIe was my gateway in to a lifetime of joyous experiences involving a number of geeky board games and models. First was Car Wars, followed by Battletech, Warhammer 40K, and so on. I've always loved Car Wars, but it really feels like the complex physics and movement mechanics in the game can best be simulated via the computer.

Had the honor of meeting you at a convention about 10 years ago, it was a real treat, nice to find out that some of your heroes are pretty decent folks in real life.

It's not far wrong. GWT is a plague, even if it's not technically malware per se.

I hear there are DnD forums on the internet.....

The Free Speech provision of the constitution covers government, not private, censorship. Further, you've never been guaranteed freedom from the consequences of said speech, like having it removed because it's unpopular.

They already do: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02...

Hmmm replies to a post about how the grandparent doesn't have DB experience with a DB joke. Sure you're not a recruiter? :)

Budweiser. Not strictly a "rice" beer, but it's definitely one of the adjuncts.

When it's left the cute and precious stage?

Yet is the operative term here. Sooner or later you dance with the reaper.
