Willful negligence exists. Intentional performance of an unreasonable act in disregard of a known risk, making it highly probable that harm will be caused. Willful negligence usually involves a conscious indifference to the consequences.
just because it's willful, doesn't stop it being negligence, just means you were negligent on purpose, which makes things worse.

Every time you see the phrase 'our national security', replace it with 'my job security'.

Ray Kelly has built his legacy on fear. He's the face of officer paranoia. To admit he was wrong, especially in the face that his initiative was ruled unconstitutional, means to admit he didn't abide by the constitution, and that would be death to any hope of further moneymaking.
He'd be forever the "self-confessed constitution violating chief Kelly".
It's the same reason that other police chief with constitution-violation rulings against him (protector of Child abusers, Joe Arpaio) continues to double-down on the crazy stuff. Admitting fallibility is financial suicide.
SDCC doesn't take place at a Hotel. SDCC takes place at the San Diego Convention Center (and has since 1979,) and almost all of the hotels in San Diego are full of Comic-Con attendees during Comic-Con weekend (it is so difficult to find hotel beds during that weekend that there has been concern over the years of SDCC moving to Los Angeles, which likely has more beds available than San Diego.)
I know, was my attempt to be humorous. This was the view from the 37th floor of the Marriott at 00:05am on the Friday of this years DCon - https://www.flickr.com/photos/ktetch/15075410598/. I mean, its a regular work day, its 10 hours until the first panel and the opening ceremony, and it'll be like that (or worse) until ~ 9am on the Monday morning. And the hotel problem is the same - this Marriott will go on sale in about a week. It'll sell out in 15 minutes or less. All the other host hotels have already sold out (some before this years con even finished). Lot of people were staying outside the city of Atlanta, and uber-ing in, or taking MARTA if they were lucky. Then you have the parade, where it was like the Macy's thanksgiving day parade https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRboo6SuKT8
It's a constant battle with the Fire Marshall's office over capacity and safety. Lot of people want it to move from the 5 hotels (and America's Mart) to the World Congress Center, but then it'll lose it's DragonCon-ness. having to take a cab to the center in Atlanta summer heat is too much for many, and there's not many hotels near the GWCC. We'll see how next years changes pan out though, as I aim to put a bigger, better Electronic Frontier Forums track program together.
We actually invited Mike to come this year, but he had reasons he couldn't make it. Maybe next year...
Hardly. Dragon Con is the Cosplaying Con (which is why the EFF had their 'Project Secret Identity' going at Dragon Con. When you can look into the lobby of a hotel at SDCC at 4am, and see nothing but costumes from 40 floors up, or have an hour long parade, then they can be the "CosplayCon". (Disclaimer, I'm the assistant director of the Electronic Frontiers Forums track at DCon)

Takes about a day for prepress checking and preflighting a book.
When I did my book (Techdirt book club book for August 2012) it was my first attempt at doing an ebook and took me 2 days to create and format it into 6 different fileformats, which I didn't consider to be too bad for my first attempt. Professionals can do it a lot quicker.
Wife used to work at a book pre-press company (she was the graphic artist) and they tend to use InDesign for making books these days. She did start off with film production and suchlike for both newspapers and magazines.
Guess what makes handy dandy ebook files? InDesign.
"The people who WORK at publishers aren't parasites. Editors, copyeditors, proofreaders, typesetters all contribute to the product. "
Er, a lot of the time now, this has been exported. My wife used to work for a company that was literally a 'pre-press' company. They got the raw documents, typeset, did the graphics, then preflighted and proofed. In newspapers, almost all central Georgia ones have got rid of their own presses now, and most are printed in LaGrange.
I'm actually wondering if the battles I'm having with Nominet were now sparked by this.

I was accepted into the University of Reading to study cybernetics. I went along, met the faculty, and 5 minutes after meeting Prof. Warwick, I'd decided "nope". So went to the University of Liverpool and did Robotics instead. (and I'm serious, I was accepted into their M.Eng(hons) Cybernetics program and would have done it if not for Warwick. The other guy I dealt with, Prof. Keating, he was cool, I liked him a lot.)
