If you are one of those that think the RICH are totally corrupt and doing things in the background that remains hidden..
This would be a great thing as LONG as it works..
I'm pretty sure the rich can afford to buy some pretty ugly T-shirts.
Most companies have no ethics and like money.
It's why "corporations are people" is fundamentally flawed.
Wouldn't companies acting like greedy, narcissistic sociopaths tend to favor the legitimacy of corporations being people? Or would they have to have comb-overs and spray-on tans, as well?
Everyone, stop thinking "common law" is always a dog-whistle from a SovCit...
Maybe not a dog whistle, but it's a bit of a Pavlovian bell for the Flag button :)
(Honestly, I was mousing towards the flag before I'd consciously registered that that first mention of "common law" was from Gary... hell, before I'd even consciously registered the words "common law".)
The only thing surprising about the report is that the systems weren't already crawling with malicious software ... Maybe state-sponsored hackers are just biding their time...
Or maybe every single intruder that goes near a DoD system backs off, refusing to mess with what appears to be a laughably obvious honeypot.
A win would be fine as long as it exposes some of the problems with FOSTA - I'm not a fan of Facebook, but I'd grudge them a victory* here (rather than indulging my thirst for schadenfreude) because they're big enough to get the case coverage in the press and they've got a damn good team of lawyers who need to start putting a few holes in the very thing they previously supported.
* - As you mention, getting the case tossed doesn't get us anywhere: no poetic justice from a loss, no headway against FOSTA from a win.
A guy whose income depends on people buying tickets to watch him play a game doesn't want his teammates playing Fortnite in their off hours... because free time is better spent doing things that don't involve games?
I swear, if TD ever broadens their weekly Sunday post to "Funniest/Most Insightful/Most Flagged Comments of the Week", I'll be trollin' with everything I got.
Re: Not until you properly use "dumb" and "stupid".
Congradulations! Sounds like you finally earned your degree in "Intellectualogism Studies" from Dunning-Kruger University. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors with words and per se and cetera.
I dunno about where you live, but here in southern Illinois France and Uzbekistan are doing a pretty good stealing customers away from Verizon with better services and lower pricing. Faster deployment of 5G is Pai's old employer's last shot at survival.
If I'm not mistaken, Fig. 4 is just a sketch of your run-of-the-mill D&D/Maurice Sendak crossover fetish-roleplay cam studio. Nothing even remotely new or original about that, even back in '99.

DHS seems to be really good at finding the bad guys. The trouble is, they keep hiring said bad guys.
Low-cost solution to all our problems? Find the DHS org chart and swap the "Human Resources" and "HS Investigators" headings.

I thought Kavanaugh was being hysterical.
As John Oliver observed, "I hate to say it, but I’m starting to think that men might be too emotional for the supreme court."
