  Re: young girl pat down

  Youre comments on the video and the little girl are quite simply amateurish rhetoric.
  
  and yours are grammatically incorrect and the same old shill. With well researched defenses like "We may not like pat downs, but they are there for a reason" and a first paragraph that sounds like a molester defense.

  I think Justice Stewart said it best in regards to videos of this sort
  
  "I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description ["hard-core pornography"]; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it..."

• On the post: New Privacy Law Introduced… But Government Is Exempted

  The proposed law does not have, as some expected, a "do not track" provision. This is a good thing.
  
  We cant get wittily led to draw the correct conclusion its just handed out now?

  how about ...

  A cluster of 2 servers, and a nice little script that watches created dates. When a file reaches 150 days it moves to the other server leaving a shortcut behind. repeat.
  
  The good thing about old simple laws, is the simple part.

  Assuming the urban dictionary definition of FUD makes the overuse of the acronym slightly more tolerable.

  ahem,
  
  Im not surprised when nuclear scientists get radiation poisoning, so why be surprised when Alzheimers researchers forget why they started in the first place.

  EFFing Randazza

  Please add this madness to the laundry list of bogus arguments and pure logical failures that Randazza is offering up for Liberty Media.
  
  I suppose this is one step up from calling them 'hackers', but still I dont know how the EFF could in good faith still recommend his services for the defense of lawsuits such as these.

  "a non-profit restaurant dubbed Saint Louis Bread Company Cares Cafe"
  
  It pained me to read the post the first time when it was offered as a business model, it simply compounds the inanity when used as a comparison for dissimilar efforts.
  
  Now learning how much of an average write-off Panera is getting per entity....

  "modifying the standard company logo with one or more animated images"
  
  This both narrows and muddies the waterway as:
  
  - those entities playing with their logo to add "static" images or simply redesign it to celebrate events are not infringing.
  
  - Moreover, it is only when you modify the "company logo" with one or more "animated images" - so those entities altering avatars on posts would also not be infringing.

  "but it just seems unlike to impress a judge. "
  
  The end of the bold text is "Demand for a Jury Trial".
  
  Can a criminal complaint be filed against the TSA (or employee thereof) for false imprisonment? Can fun judgements be doled out against the org. as a whole?

  His Legal Counsel?
  
  Being Randazza, right?
  
  And this man's services still come recommended by the EFF?
  
  If the answer is yes to all 3 of those questions you should be quite confused.

  "what the TSA requires seems like a pretty extreme response."
  
  Exactly.
  
  The initial TSA response and the resistance required to end it, are both extreme.

  Dear Google

  Why not just hire ChillingEffects.org to be a web based electronic delivery service for your DMCA notices. Thus making it a requirement of their job to post and bring and awareness to your DMCA notice.
  
  Or a link that reads it aloud. I suppose the "reading aloud" crackdown is next though.
