  on Man Actually Arrested For Assault With A Deadly Tweet
  So the intent to kill is what matters, not the intent to harm, then?
  
  Oh, it's fine, officer, I didn't mean to kill anyone, I just dosed his drink with something that'd give him really nasty hives. He's fine, it's just a harmless prank.
  
  A lack of intent to kill does not mean that physical harm was not intended, the novelty of the delivery vector is irrelevant.

  I'm a little sad I was beaten to the punch, here. But hey, on the bright side this means Dedsec will show up any day now to save us, right?
  
  Right?

  on Web Sheriff Accuses Us Of Breaking Basically Every Possible Law For Pointing Out That It's Abusing DMCA Takedowns
  It's kind of amazing watching a company that paints itself as legitimate engage in what amounts to saturation bombing via water balloon slingshot as their M.O.
  
  Really, really sad, but amazing just the same.
