You don't like it (you've told us many times) and you never have anything of value to say.

If you don't want to "follow Mike down the rabbit hole" why are you following him at all? Is there some kind of weird-ass unrequited sexual attraction thing going on?]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130510/13023123037/lots-people-dont-turn-off-their-devices-when-they-fly.shtml#c1423 Mon, 20 May 2013 05:39:09 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130510/13023123037/lots-people-dont-turn-off-their-devices-when-they-fly.shtml#c1423 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/09430123119/eu-commission-sued-refusing-to-reveal-trade-agreement-documents-they-shared-with-lobbyists.shtml#c111 Mon, 20 May 2013 05:39:08 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/09430123119/eu-commission-sued-refusing-to-reveal-trade-agreement-documents-they-shared-with-lobbyists.shtml#c111
The commissions plan for trying to get on equal footing with USA in terms of letting industry representatives participate in TAFTA would completely vanish if there is a full disclosure ruling.

Even more so, even a full disclosure is likely to leave enough room for setting up future systems to get around the pesky "transparency". The transparency law used here is only 13 years old and extremely non-specific, so the commission will of course be able to find far more holes for keeping priviledged information systems running.

In the world of trade agreements, where logic is a city on the moon and the feelings and guesses from the industries are solely what the negotiators act upon, we will not see a move towards more openness since public interests are deemed to be "irrelevant". That, of course, is only partially true in most cases and completely untrue in the rest!]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130510/13023123037/lots-people-dont-turn-off-their-devices-when-they-fly.shtml#c1401 Mon, 20 May 2013 05:36:27 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130510/13023123037/lots-people-dont-turn-off-their-devices-when-they-fly.shtml#c1401 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130510/13023123037/lots-people-dont-turn-off-their-devices-when-they-fly.shtml#c1382 Mon, 20 May 2013 05:27:29 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130510/13023123037/lots-people-dont-turn-off-their-devices-when-they-fly.shtml#c1382 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130515/05513523093/suburban-express-goes-double-nothing-their-aggressive-behavior.shtml#c116 Mon, 20 May 2013 05:24:49 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130515/05513523093/suburban-express-goes-double-nothing-their-aggressive-behavior.shtml#c116

We'll need to review our working policies and our societal norms regarding work. Today a person that wishes to work less is considered some sort of hobo/vagabond or whatever is the word in English. This will have to change. And there will always be demand for human beings from other humans.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/22104223137/sophisticatedjanedoe-fightcopyrighttrolls-favorite-techdirt-posts-week.shtml#c1093 Mon, 20 May 2013 05:22:10 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/22104223137/sophisticatedjanedoe-fightcopyrighttrolls-favorite-techdirt-posts-week.shtml#c1093 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/09430123119/eu-commission-sued-refusing-to-reveal-trade-agreement-documents-they-shared-with-lobbyists.shtml#c101 Mon, 20 May 2013 05:21:46 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/09430123119/eu-commission-sued-refusing-to-reveal-trade-agreement-documents-they-shared-with-lobbyists.shtml#c101

Or rather you wished no one would notice.

Your point of naming ones self in relationship to the relevance of information they offer, has to do with courage only or "balls" is extremely of the mark. You have made it clear that you are a self important fool and pathetically desperate.

You have yet in your embarrassing display to offer any arguments to offset any viewpoints SJD has ever made. Obviously offended by her accuracy, you have fallen far short of doing any better, only whining she hasn't left herself wide open personally. She has left herself wide open intellectually, and you don't have the ovaries or brains to meet her on her turf.

You have revealed that you are invested in naming her, as you have posted what you have found on her to a public site. It's creepy to do that, especially along side the idea of trying to discredit her as some sort of public service. If you have been on medication and recently stopped, you may want to revisit starting up again. If you haven't, you may want to consider it. Shaming seems to be the only tool you are adept at wielding. Intellect would do you some good here/now. You don't seem to be catching on that your efforts have been, and will continue to be futile here on the basis of anonymity.

Wait... Amy? Is that you?]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130510/13023123037/lots-people-dont-turn-off-their-devices-when-they-fly.shtml#c1373 Mon, 20 May 2013 05:14:16 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130510/13023123037/lots-people-dont-turn-off-their-devices-when-they-fly.shtml#c1373 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/09430123119/eu-commission-sued-refusing-to-reveal-trade-agreement-documents-they-shared-with-lobbyists.shtml#c99 Mon, 20 May 2013 05:03:52 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/09430123119/eu-commission-sued-refusing-to-reveal-trade-agreement-documents-they-shared-with-lobbyists.shtml#c99

Most useful invention EVER.

Ahem. Nuplug seems awesome too but I projected my outlets to fit my needs and to be smart at home. So it's not really usefull for me. As for the design... It's an outlet.. I just think it should be available in other colors.]]> http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/02413623115/bogus-lawsuit-plus-threats-to-those-who-write-about-it-leads-to-epic-response.shtml#c874 Mon, 20 May 2013 04:55:46 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130517/02413623115/bogus-lawsuit-plus-threats-to-those-who-write-about-it-leads-to-epic-response.shtml#c874 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110119/05022912725/fifteenth-century-technopanic-about-horrors-printing-press.shtml#c1254 Mon, 20 May 2013 04:51:18 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110119/05022912725/fifteenth-century-technopanic-about-horrors-printing-press.shtml#c1254 http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130515/18051923103/footage-lethal-beating-deleted-seized-phone-sheriff-asks-fbi-to-take-over-investigation.shtml#c1018 Mon, 20 May 2013 04:51:11 PDT http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130515/18051923103/footage-lethal-beating-deleted-seized-phone-sheriff-asks-fbi-to-take-over-investigation.shtml#c1018 Based on media reports, there is probable cause to charge someone with a crime.
