Arrests for large-scale commercial copyright infringement and money laundering schemes aren't new. This simply isn't an example freedom getting more and more restricted.

Thank you. It's nice that at least ONE person recognized that maybe their uninformed reaction to a short article might not be 100% correct, and was willing to go read the indictment and learn a bit more.

You are grossly misconstruing the nature of the emails whilst avoiding the other points entirely. Read the indictment.

If you'd read the indictment you'd know this has nothing to do with the government monitoring the Internet. Sadly you were too busy comparing the enforcement of long existing laws to creeping genocide to read the actual case.

Nothing about this case makes me fear your future. I read the indictment. The cause for fear simply isn't there. It's useless to pretend you're keeping an eye on the government when all you're really doing is getting a tiny shred of inform

KIM DOTCOM is a convicted criminal. (securities fraud, embezzling, and some other crap) He's about to be tried again, for another crime. But he's already a criminal. The person I responded to was comparing mass genocide to the orderly tri

Your first two numbered points are not even close to true. If you bothered to read the indictment, you'd know this. Sadly, you (like most of HN) are raging without bothering to get any real information first.

If you bothered to read the indictment, you'd see they weren't complying and that they were actively facilitating.

I'm pretty sure that the Feds didn't get copies of emails from Eric Schmidt saying that they need to fix the audio/video synchronization on the Sopranos... or that they need to rate-limit DMCA takedowns so they don't interfere with growth..

It's disgusting that you chose to reappropriate that quote in this context. If you read the indictment, it's clear that this was the purposeful monetization of pirated material. It wasn't a few users who uploaded some things. It was a cri

I'm not an investor, but I've had a parallel experience having been involved with roughly 150 tech contracts in my career. A strong predictor for mediocrity is when communication is troubled. If we're unable to have two-way conversations w

So to clarify: if you do work with the intent of selling it to one buyer it should be protected, but if you do work with the intent of selling it to two or more buyers it should not?

I assume that once you pitch designs to one of your clients, it's fine with you if they photograph it, copy it, and never pay you a dime? People love design, and do great design without making a single dime on it. The rich designers are ri

This is typical for how Postgres adds features and functionalities. They tend to add a new core feature in one release, then add adjacent functionality and performance improvements in later releases. I'm not on their core developer mailing

I apologize if my question was unclear; that's almost certainly because of a lack of expertise on my side. On one end of the spectrum, I envision the same salt used for every user, allowing for the easy and effective creation of rainbow tab

Do you know what hash was used, if the passwords were salted and if so, if the salt is secure?

Approximately 1/4 of Americans have no way to come up with $2,000 in 30 days. An additional 19% would need to pawn/sell possessions and/or take payday loans to raise $2,000 in 30 days. http://www.brookings.edu/~/media/Files/Programs/ES/BP

No. If you want ZFS root out of the box, you need to follow a guide like: http://www.aisecure.net/2011/11/28/root-zfs-freebsd9/ It's roughly the same state as it was during FreeBSD8 except that some of the details are different due to th

Contrary to your claim, lowball bids are often considered insulting. Smart negotiators don't use them unless they're willing to accept the fallout that results from this; such as hurt feelings, and the potential loss of all negotiation powe

The ideal candidate is not just competent, they're able to demonstrate and communicate that competence. Many technical startups struggle with promotion, naively believing that simply being better is enough. It's not. You need to be able

I can't agree with askscience anymore. subreddits start their reversion to the mean once there's 50-100k users, and they become awful once they're in the default set for new users. Frankly, it's too much work to find the good ones.

It's worth testing the validity of that in court. You can write anything into a contract, but it doesn't mean it's legally enforceable. The "buyer" accepted the risk that they were not legally protected when they voluntarily destroyed the

I hope the seller takes the buyer to small claims court. They should be forced to pay for a replacement violin. "but PayPal told me to do it" should not be a valid defense.

Because ZipCar owns the cars, they're able to take stronger precautions to track and to prevent theft. HiGear's model opened a wide range of attacks against the customer cars, some of them hard to tie to HiGear. I wouldn't be surprised if
