... [a]ccusing me of being nothing more than a "BernieBro,"; you really didn't need to defend yourself. How much of a "Streisand Effect" do you think you created with this opening statement? People went and looked for that comment, I am sure of this.
Nevertheless, Sanders' legal team went after this guy. If it accomplishes anything, it just might educate him on the vast differences between Communism and Socialism. As for Parody? I found nothing remotely funny in the meme. It is obviously designed to injure the campaign, but Sanders should have been able to rise above this - he has been attacked for being Communist almost his entire political career.
Maybe, just maybe Bernie Sanders was sitting at his morning coffee and said in that trademark-able voice of his, "I am so sick of this shit. Girls / Boys, go get him!" I could see that happening.
A cure for that might be to send people like Dan McCall to a Democratic-Socialist country. I'm not saying fly them to Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Holland... ENGLAND etc., but put on a bus to Canada and let them stay there for a week. Maybe they'll have an accident and get to explore the medical system. McCall might see just how friendly a bunch of C̶̷o̶̷m̶̷m̶̷u̶̷n̶̷i̶̷s̶̷t̶̷s̶̷ Democratic Socialists are. Through not engaging in War all the time, Canada is evolving, albeit glacially, into an half decent country as well. We are talking about a political system that is an hundred plus years old, and not the hundreds of years of political evolution like the aforementioned. Not every War is a Just war, so most of them are unnecessary. This in my opinion, retards the growth of decent political, and social systems in the US. And,right now, there are so many sociopaths running for POTUS right now, it's considered acceptable to make assaults in every way conceivable, on every sense of every voter. Sometimes, things just aren't that funny. For example, every time John Kasich opens his mouth, it is an assault on the opposite sex. It is with him so habitualized, he does this without even thinking - it is subconscious. Donald Trump goes out of his way to be an asshole to everybody and anything, and it has been his way of doing business his entire life; this is just unconscious knowledge, yet to him, everyone and everything is, "... [t]errific, just terrific." He comes of as the working man's man, but no reporter or article has ever mentioned the ten million dollar loan from his dad, that was used to get him started. I am not speaking of different levels of classification regarding Hillary Clinton's private emails, or that evil little Goblin Ted Cruz. All of them are bad... why do I think Mike Masnick is an undecided voter??? Sanders is trying to run an educated campaign, and he has garnered a huge amount of support. I can see his legal team defending him even if he eventually saw the matter after this whole legal battle began to transpire. Nevertheless, he's nothing like the rest of them.
Either way, it is after the fact, and one way, or another, McCall is going to pay for his intent to harm, or by having no idea what parody or humour is, or Communism for that matter, harm the senses of Sanders voters, and swing the voting public at large.
I could use ten million dollars about now, how about you?
Twenty-two comments; half on VR, the rest on I don't know what, and one that says Obama is doing a good thing.
So what the hell is it? Is this good or bad? The VETO, not VR Bandwidth or Congress has to go, because they just got voted back into power, so what is it? Is the VETO good or bad?
I didn't wanna comment 'cuz I needed to learn about this VETO. You people taught me nothing.
Oh yeah; can't forget the stupid smelly person comment.
Judge Klausner thinks there should be a Subjective assessment...
Right there. There it is! Zep is in trouble! Subjective??? What the hell is he trying to do? Nothing good really comes out of a subjective point of view. It gets all twisted and distorted, and people are bringing in their personal crap and then you get all these people deciding someone or something else's fate.
Coincidence is very convincing. Why do you suppose there is so much religion...
ISPs and cable companies already track and sell your online behavior, your location data, and effectively everything you do on the Internet (to the second).
I am curious. Has anyone ever attempted a suit against one of these entities for selling their information. Is there any kind of inherent trademark or patent to a person's private behaviour or actions online? It is, after all, your shit that you're doing, and by doing it, it should be naturally guarded / protected under their law.
I'm just wondering. I'm trying not to troll here, but software companies have to get you to "agree" to their terms, and I've never seen something like that from my cable / ISP company sooooo........
“There’s classified, and then there’s classified,”
I understand the difference. It is as if someone were to ask you for twenty bucks for lunch. til Friday because they forgot their wallet or clutch. You're significant other might know you've fifty thousands saved in the bank, but the one asking doesn't need to know that. You've got a few bucks and can wait til Friday to get it back... If a member of my family were to ask me for a small loan - say a few grand, I might be inclined to help them, but they're not getting the privileged info my wife or husband has about my balance.
I said to my friend in 1989 that, "... information will become the most sought after commodity in the world." It is.
Information has different values attached to it. It is as simple as that. Visiting Wikileaks and getting the door prize is a little extreme; maybe it was the children doing a paper, but there is a tangible difference between Classified and CLASSIFIED.
It is understandably simple. Am I defending President Obama? I don't need to. He is just another meme in a continual line of memes. A citizen really needs to spend a week at an Ayahuasca retreat to get past all this shite... just saying.
"... [he] was looking at a bunch of lines, like lines of code. There was no image, no Internet,” she said. Her description matches the look of certain encryption software, which ISIS claims to have used during the Paris attacks.
Stay on your toes 'cuz they're just aching to make you pay!
"... [gag] order can still be violated even though anyone who's paying attention has known for nearly two years now that the target was Edward Snowden. Unless the government meant to release this document in unredacted form, Ladar Levinson and his lawyers could still face contempt charges for even confirming..."
Come hell or high water, someone's going to pay for the Government fucking up all the time.
What I see happening here is a new ‘Monster’ being created.
There are three key actors in this new chapter: United States, United Kingdom, and Australia. Canada is involved to a lesser degree – imho, and that is because we observers have not experienced enough impressions of just how much, what is, where is it applicable type alterations to Canadian Law regarding the Internet. They are not very forthcoming.
United States is embroiled in the Encryption debate – has been for a while. Australia has recently passed a highly controversial ‘Copyright Amendment (Online Infringement) Bill’. The United Kingdom is trying to pass the Investigatory Powers Bill (IP Law), which truly is Orwellian in nature. You really should read it, or at least glance through.
Individually, these are huge. Separately, these events are seemingly harmless when viewed from a foreign perspective. Encryption in the US? Well, that’s the Americans’ problem. Australia has an incredibly invasive, all-inclusive, "lazy and dangerous" intellectual property/anti-piracy/censorship/content law? Hey, that’s the bloody Drongos’ problem… Minister Malcolm Turnbull, struth! He’s gone off. And, finally; United Kingdom wants to know the; colour of your knickers; do you like Met-Art; the last Epub you downed to your i6S? Hey! They said yes to all the cameras, this shouldn’t be a problem with the Brits.
NOW… TOGETHER, it's altogether a different ℮✄ρℯяḯ℮η¢ε. We have a nearly assembled ‘Monster’. These three nations have agreements to share intelligence. Intelligence covers everything from mobile metadata to credit card purchases, to home internet to a book you borrowed from your university’s library. What one country gathers, it can also share, and a trick of loop-holes, sharing data means the data can be “shared” back to you. Quite legal.
Now our monster is taken the form of Gargantua – and this is a black hole of the same name sized problem. Any one government has access to any piece of a person’s life… and it is tsill all legal.
This is how I see all these changes coming into being. It is not a matter of one country doing this, and another country doing another, p̶o̶s̶s̶i̶b̶l̶y̶ almost certainly illegal thing, it is all these things combined that really frightens me.
Freedoms are being eroded from the outside in, but there is not a lot of individuals keeping an eye on how all this is evolving. I'm not paranoid. People really are watching me.......... and you......... and you........... and you...
The 'making money' from someone else's link doesn't fly, because once this is settled, EVERYONE will be making money...
If they go after one production, they need to go after another. The people over at Stargate Productions would be a bit of a tougher chew if Paramount and CBS think is even legal. Paramount and CBS will have to go after them, because they've been using, or were using similar "Terminology" for fifteen years. Paramount and CBS will have to go after the creators of the Stargate Literature, and Comics, not to mention they will need to ̶c̶i̶t̶e̶ sue Stargate television and films Productions... Stargate, Stargate: The Ark of Truth; Stargate: Continuum. All the Television series, Stargate: SG-1, Stargate: Atlantis, and Stargate: Universe; the Animated series, Stargate: Infinity; the Game, Stargate: Resistance. These productions - every one of them, sets a precedent! They are the biggest, and most best I could possibly give as an example, and yes, I am aware of the other sci-fi productions, that I am also a big fan of, that could also be listed here. In their own ways, they are / were very successful productions.
I should also say that Gene Roddenberry wasn't the actual creator of a fair amount of the terminology being argued over - it's a fairly comprehensive filing.
It's in keeping with the Tolkien suit over the word Hobbit. He didn't actually create the word, and definition (he did say so himself), but dictionaries admonish him as creator (~1933?); though still not copyrightable... he he he :)
Hundreds of people enjoyed the concept of being part of history and creating something bigger than themselves through 'crowdfunding'. Paramount and CBS are now trying to kill the very idea; creative concept, brought to life, by grasping at some very thin thread.
I wanted to add that Websites need to be held accountable for the advertising content they permit, through the sale of space, on their sites - and yes, even the sites which contain Pornography, although that little debate on "Is it Art or Pornagraphy? still rages. So we shouldn't judge others who go to Met-Art :)
It is clear that advertising is a major source, if not the leading source, of infection to computers. So if they carefully screen their potential clients, make the sworn statement that they will not, through their ignorance, damage your computer, maybe, just maybe people wouldn't have such a problem with ads on websites. If they post a waiver before entering the site... hit the bricks.
You, at TechDirt, use your sources as you see fit. That decision to link to "Ad Blocker-Blocking sites is your call.
The readers need to determine if the source is worth visiting or not. I have gone to sites, have been blocked, and I go somewhere else for the full story, because I have noticed that Google'ing' will get you the meat of the story - if you have a spare thirty seconds. Mind you, I also see that TechDirt is the meat of the story. It is covered in detail, so why go for hamburger when I have steak? Others serious about infringing on my personal space with their ads can suck-it, so-to-speak. I do not dwell or obsess with the unseen. I wheel-click to open in another window, and if the site's a no-show, I close the window and move on... that's it... I'm done with them.
Again, it's your call, just like it's mine to click on that link. You will do your best to make our reading experience inconvenience free, but I wouldn't go out of way to detract from the quality that every reader of TechDirt has come to appreciate.
Senators Dianne Feinstein and Richard Burr are, again, showing just ignorant they are on encryption - dangerous.
I would like for once to see a Leader (POTUS perhaps) just come forward and speak from the podium to 'the people', once for all, telling just how dangerous and impossible and weakening and abusive creating "backdoors" to anything is. Speaking on just what the near and far reaching ramifications are, and close this debate for, as long as possible; good we could only hope.
"... [other] law enforcement groups filing briefs in support of the FBI that basically stated they, too, would like Apple to be forced to comply with orders like these..."
We'd like to thank Timothy Geigner, and his fellow Journalists, for taking up the reins and writing about our new Donald f@#$ing Trump song and video. Thank-you for suing us Donald f@#$ing Trump, you dumb asshole, and markedly increasing our royalty cheques for the next twelve months - at least.
Trump. What about creating a GRIEFER Mob? Just pursue this idiot ceaselessly on all his Social Media.
Trump really does consider himself a "New Prince", and he has shown all his cards without revealing he has no tangible, existing policy excepting that which gets the most attention for the least amount of effort - money included.
Trump's mentioned twenty-five times here, and I guess I'm 33, 34, and 35.
