  If Google has to forget that they have been told to forget, does that mean they don't have to remember to forget anyone anymore?

  Hm, repeat posts from this single individual are looking more and more like incompetent attempts at astroturfing anonymously.

  Re:

  You guys are literally acting like the kid killed a cop, shat on his helmet, gave the helmet to his widow, stole the helmet back from the widow, and then shat on it again, and you're all just high-five'ing the murderer-helmet-shitter all over! I'm literally not saying this as hyperbole, it's literally what you guys are doing, yeah!

  Re: Re:

  Well that's just bad reading comprehension. The next sentence "(distancing use of "identifies" courtesy of Cleveland.com") makes it obvious it's being used sarcastically because yes, identifying as Muslim makes you Muslim while the publication uses distancing language to imply that he just believes he is one but has no proof or whatever.

  Re: Re: Re:

  But it's already how it works. And harassing a judge overseeing your case is probably not a good idea. But if you're the judge and it happened to you randomly, well... don't bring it up in the court?

  Re:

  I'm pretty sure if the judge's problem with the airline was legitimately related to the case at hand, it would be a conflict of interests and he would have to recuse himself anyway.

• On the post: Github Nukes Repository Over Use Of The Word 'Retard'

  

  The Groove Tiger ( profile ), 03 Aug, 2015 @ 01:01pm

  I find BitBucket a much superior alternative, so I haven't hosted anything in GitHub for a while. It also allows closed repos, which, while not great for open-source, it's great when I just want to put my grocery list in a repo for whatever reason.
  
  But I can't guarantee that it hasn't, or won't in the future do the same as the hub of gits and go Full Retard... crackdown mode policing.

  Re: Simple concept

  You would think that even a Cooley graduate would understand. What would he say if his sister's husband got over aggressive?
  
  That he's having second thoughts about this threesome?

• On the post: Comcast Really Wants Me To Stop Calling Their Top Lobbyist A 'Top Lobbyist'

  

  The Groove Tiger ( profile ), 22 Jul, 2015 @ 09:08am

  Well, they probably paid a lot of brib... fancy dinners to make sure the lawmakers changed the definition of lobbyist. They're just trying to get their money's worth.

  "Or do they want to be a forum just for angry ignorant people that the reset of the internet would prefer to, as xkcd notes, show the door."
  
  Typo? I bet a lot of people would like to reset the internet, tho.

  Seems to be they'll just use the numbers for this new service to "prove" somehow that the demand just isn't there.

  Re: Has been Audited

  Also, the fork named VeraCrypt supposedly added somewhat stronger encryption (or larger keys or whatever). Not backward compatible tho, so you need to move all your stuff to new volumes.

  Step 1: Send FOIA request to FBI to get these "secret" documents.
  Step 2: Laugh as the FBI sends these documents fully redacted with black ink.
  Step 3: Download the unredacted documents from their original sources or any other uncesored source.
  Step 4: Reply to the FBI, saying that their document was unreadable, so you did them a favor and removed all of the black ink for them. Attach said unredacted document.
  Step 5: Hilarity.

  Assman should make sure to put this in his resume. It will get him lots of clients. It's like a 5 star review, except by himself
