California is an "at will" employment state.

I was thinking the same thing even though California does have protection laws in place to prevent employers from taking action against employees over "political affiliations" until I saw the quote from his interview with the New York Times:

Before being fired, Mr. Damore said, he had submitted a complaint to the National Labor Relations Board claiming that Google’s upper management was “misrepresenting and shaming me in order to silence my complaints.”

Short of discrimination against a protected class, you can be fired for anything or nothing at all. Anti-feminists are not a protected class.

And that's the caveat, by filing that complaint, he became a protected class. Kinda like the FBI in Die Hard, "helping" Hans with the electromagnetic lock on the safe.

You ask for miracles, Theo, I give you the F.B.I.

not quite the same. sure, slashdot has community moderation but of the comments. posting of stories are controlled slashdot staff. also, demographics are different. plus w/ false-flagging, mass flagging, and other abuse issues that exists even now (before "YouTube Heroes"), there's more problems that it can create than solve. shoot, this has the potential to empower the trolls let alone feed them.

Of course, seafile guys will need $ to litigate (unless they can get a state sponsor) If only they would diversify their payment options. bitcoin, their own via stripe/square, google wallet, etc. shoot, square even has their money sending service: cash(dot)me Or perhaps Swedish Klarna which appears to also service Germany.

Working out of Miyazaki City, Mr. Ohrai was a world-famous illustrator having created posters for "Star Wars" and "Godzilla" series and had won a prefectural culture award a year before last. Wake will be held on the 28th from 7PM and funeral services will be on the 29th from 12:10PM, both at the Priere-Group Hall in Miyazaki City." note, wiki seems to reference cgmagonline.com anyways. also, /. seems to not support Japanese input that well.

Comment ToS violation? (Score 3, Insightful) 182

As much as I hate to see it used, a Terms of Service (ToS) violation and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) may still apply especially since they are using tactics to avoid detection (aka use of "burner phones" and credit card numbers)

It may also be a violation of the various credit card companies' ToS as well.
