• On the post: Dianne Feinstein Still A Believer In Collecting All Phone Records; Pretends That Such Collection Has Stopped Terrorists

  Can someone (friendly neighborhood web slinger?) Kindly put every single phone call, and every single email of this twit online for everyone to see. Every single doner to her campaigns emails and phone records. Since it's ok, according to her, and it's only metadata...

• On the post: Government Sues Sprint For Overcharging For Wiretaps Under CALEA

  Ironic

  If I were Sprint, I would claim that I couldn't properly represent my case to the court without being able to disclose every request, i.e. all the data covered by the NSF letters. Then they would either have to allow the disclosure of exactly how often, and all the parameters of the request, or bugger off, and forget this case. Either way, a win for Sprint. Either looking like a good guy (Sprint could use a win here... badly...) or getting the Govt. to back down (something the we need more of in general really).

  Bloody British

  Ok, they have done it. Can we take away their guns, and give them tiny little batons? Or pool noodles? I would not trust most of these thugs with a Nerf gun.

• On the post: Terrorists Have Known Their Cellphones Are Surveillance Targets For Over A Decade But Suddenly It's Greenwald And Snowden's Fault?

  Pulpy

  I remember a little film, made back in '94. There was a line "Are you calling me on the cellular phone? I don't know you. Who is this? Don't come here, I'm hanging up the phone! Prank caller, prank caller!"
  
  I'm glad Snowden let me know that my Cellular One phone was being tapped by the No Such Agency, back in '94!!!

  Hire

  Perhaps Google should not have hired Prenda Law as its lawyers. How is it that a troll can win these types of cases without ever doing anything useful, and they don't get slapped down, but a practicing entity can't?

• On the post: Chile Says It Does Not Recognize The Legitimacy Of The USTR's Special 301 Report

  301

  If I was another country, I would say "Its just a 301 redirect, send it back to America, it is their problem."

  Give me...

  Give me liberty or give me death. The founders placed liberty above life itself... Just saying.

• On the post: European Copyright Society Says Hyperlinks (And Framing) Should Not Be Infringing

  

  Jay Fude ( profile ), 19 Feb, 2013 @ 04:25am

  Berners-Lee?

  Hyperlinking is how the internet works. The news agency knew this when they put up their site. It is the basis of HTML... If they didn't like how the internet works, they can shutter their website, and go back to something that doesn't use hyperlinks... good ol' paper. That wonderful smell of ink and wood pulp. Maybe make some great big steampunk paper presses, that will bring the people back from this horrible linking thing! Besides, on the internet, you don't get to yell "Stop the presses!" Where would the news be without that?

• On the post: US Government 'Suspends' JotForm.com Over User Generated Forms; Censorship Regime Expands

  Good police work Lou

  I didn't even know about jotform until they took it down. After going to the .net site, it looks pretty darn useful. Thanks Derps, without you, I might have had to pirate a copy of adobe to create a form...

• On the post: Syrian President's Email Hacked… His Password Was 12345

  Damn

  Now I need to change the password on my luggage.

  SOPA Renamed

  Screw Off Public America? Screw Over People Always? Can we just fire all of congress, wipe the slate clean? Can we have an government by the people and for the people? Can we have laws that the average Joe can understand? Look at our Constitution, plain English, short, understandable. Any law that is longer than the Constitution, we should burn, and make them try again.

  Natural

  So how the hell do we get "Natural" results in a "Virtual" world? I am a bit corn-fused. Naturally when I type in an address, I naturally want to see where the heck that is. Naturally when I type in the name of a congressman, I want to see his qualifications to speak on a subject. In that regard, Google has let me down. It says blahdy blah has been in office blahdy-9 years, but absolutely nothing on his work with Natural algorithms and his mastery of JavaScript and Klingon.

• On the post: Senate Looks To Outlaw Phishing, Even Though It's Already Illegal

  Happy

  I'll be happy to 'own' a site for anyone else, for a small fee, then they can 'rent' the site from me anonymously, as long as the check clears the bank, and all I do is answer the phone and say, "yep, I own that site" and collect $10 a month, I'll do it.
  
  quick, I'd better patent this idea..... damn trolls read this site too, and patent all of techdirt and techdirt communitity ideas
