This wasn't a spur of the moment tweet; he took the time to research and find specific pictures that would cause epileptic seizures, attached it to the tweet, and added text that indicated he was intending to injure or kill.
This is =NO= different than if someone researched how to cut a break line, cut the line, and then left a note under the car saying that he hoped the victim would die.
I would also argue this is not much different than releasing embarrassing nude photos of an ex and then telling them to kill themselves.
Just because it is digital doesn't mean it isn't a crime.
You don't understand how the Feds work. In some cases they aren't telling the victims to commit a "crime". Instead, they probably aren't saying they are Feds and are just normal people who are asking for help get guns off the street in order to protect neighborhood children. Or to steal drugs because they need help solving the local drug problem, saying the drugs can be disposed of properly.
But even if none of that is true, they are locking people up for decades for nothing worse than thinking of a crime. That is often longer than actual drug dealers and murderers who go before a judge and jury. How is this helping society?
To support the level of industrialization and manufacturing that currently exists here. An additional problem is that if, as AC keeps insisting, we are supposed to stop importing goods produced from overseas then we need to create even more factories, but economies of scale mean that either the wages will be super low or the prices for those goods will be super high. Our only hope is to t sell to the emerging middle classes in the BrIC countries.
I read it when it came out and something isn't right about being locked 'inside' their rooms.
The door locks aren't normally connected to the internal network. Instead, each door is preprogrammed to accept a valid keycode (which would use something similar to certificates in an idea world, but then you have the problems of revocation and non-repudiation because the device isn't networked).
Additionally, since when would a certification agency or the local fire department allow a safety device like a door handle inside the room to 'fail locked' in any scenario (door locked, power outage, etc.)?
Most excellent Techdirt, I appreciate the service you provide by letting me know which clueless and litigious companies I can safely avoid.
I see their Privacy Policy (https://www.wawa.com/privacy.aspx) and Terms and Conditions (https://www.wawa.com/terms.aspx) both require Javascript to be enabled, which is probably a violation of some fair access act.
I do actually understand that principle. You presume a couple of things, sir.
A) That the jamming device isn't aftermarket, probably made in China B) That the people making the device have Clue One and aren't amping up the output to make it "more effective" than their competition (I recall stories about radar and laser jammers in the 90's impacting nearby businesses and houses, although it isn't obvious if any of these are valid (properly sourced) and it isn't worth logging in to search for research papers).
I'm too lazy to do the math and I think the difference is minimal, but at freeway speeds the vehicle behind the jammer moves ever so slightly closer in to range
Although non-driving adults and children would certainly be impacted by the theories in the comment section as well, but also bus and train passengers. Additionally, the jammer idea above would prevent real-time traffic updates and possibly satellite and terrestrial radio (depending on the quality of the jammers and how much care is given to concern about frequency overlap) and even innocent people in their homes (depending on the signal strength needed to fully jam signals within the vehicle). One could also see this impacting vehicles near the jammers (in every passenger car), just as police and ambulance services.
This is why I don't see movies from CBS & Paramount
Haven't seen one of the new Trek movies yet and I don't plan to. Plenty of other things to watch in this world so I elect not to support their franchise.
Ayyadurai really didn't invent email. He wasn't part of ARPAnet in the mid 70s and also didn't participate (and isn't cited) in any of the SMTP RFCs, which came along later than he claims to have invented the concept. Pretty soon he'll start with his tired claim that anyone who doesn't believe him is a racist.

I'm reading where Chad Hatten is trying to abuse the DMCA process to hide his criminal convictions for ID theft and access device fraud.
I also personally think it is pretty scummy of Chad Hatten to pretend to be the noted inventor Chad Hatten (who seems to be a good egg), and misuse the DMCA process but that's pretty much on-par for this felon. And make no mistake, he is a felon, having resided in a federal penal institution after pleading guilty to ID theft and access device fraud. If Chad Hatten is upset that HIS OWN ACTIONS are placing his life at-risk, then perhaps he shouldn't have decided to perform ID theft and access device fraud. It isn't the page rank of the results that caused this Chad my-boy, it was you.
You too can read about Chad Hatten's criminal past (a known fact, since he pled* guilty). These links show you that Chad Hatten has criminal convictions for ID theft and access device fraud.

They conveniently neglect to mention that it is an order of magnitude LOWER than the number of people killed by LEOs every year. Many are probably hard-working people upholding the law, but a depressing number think they are freaking Rambo.
the cherubs! They are nekkid too and, having sat under the hatrack that is Neptune for all these years, DESERVE equal treatment. CENSOR THE CHERUBS, Mark, censor the cherubs too.
What about the "before drilling into walls to install surveillance equipment" statement? There is a difference between "security cameras" which would be normal and proper on a military base. This is "surveillance equipment" which has no place on a military base. WTF Air Force? WTF.
